Underweight (stock Market)
In financial markets, underweight is a term used when rating stock. A rating system may be three-tiered: " overweight," ''equal weight'', and ''underweight'', or five-tiered: ''buy'', ''overweight'', ''hold'', ''underweight'', and ''sell''. Also used are ''outperform'', ''neutral'', ''underperform'', and ''buy'', ''accumulate'', ''hold'', ''reduce'', and ''sell''.
