Underperform is an analyst rating assigned to a stock or fund that is expected to generate returns below those of its benchmark index or peer group over a specified period. It is a cautious recommendation—less severe than a 'Sell' rating but more negative than a 'Hold' or 'Neutral.' When a leading brokerage or research firm issues an Underperform rating on a stock, it can influence institutional and retail investor sentiment, often resulting in downward price pressure on the rated security.
