Avg vote uses Yahoo's scale: 1 is Strong Buy and 5 is Sell. A falling line means analysts became more positive; a rising line means they became more cautious. The chart uses Yahoo's four monthly periods when available. The table keeps at most one verified snapshot per UTC day; failed refreshes and stale cache fallbacks never create a new history point.
