Overweight is part of a three-tiered rating system, along with "underweight" and "equal weight", used by stock analysts to indicate a particular stock's attractiveness. If a stock is deemed "overweight" the analyst is saying, in his opinion, the stock is a better value relative to other stocks he covers in the same sector.

It's a buzzword to indicate that more of a protfolio's money is allocated to that stock. In other words, the analyst things that particular stock is a good investment.
The KEY here is that it's the analyst's opinion. Whether you agree or not, and whether that analyst or not is right is another issue.
