The Morningstar Star Rating for Stocks is on based on an analyst’s estimate of the fair value of the share. It is a projection / opinion and not a statement of fact. Morningstar assigns star ratings based on an analyst’s estimate of the fair value of a stock. Four components determine the star rating: (1) our assessment of the company’s economic divide, (2) our estimate of the fair value of the share, (3) our uncertainty regarding this estimate of the fair value and (4) the current market price. This process culminates in a one-point star rating that is updated daily. A 5-star rating represents the belief that the stock has good value at its current price; it is not a 1-star share. If our assumptions are correct in the base case, the market price will approach our fair value estimate over time, usually within three years.
