The above 2 answers are not quite correct. Because of not being bullish, analysis will say underweigh or "buy less of" a stock or sector. An example: Lets say a sector of the market (utilities, industrial materials, drugs whatever) makes up 10% of the total market. If they feel the stock or sector won't do well in the next X number of months, they will say (if you really want to buy) buy less so it makes up less than 10% of your personal portfolio or if you already have, sell some so the percentage goes below 10%..

Underweight means the stock's return is expected to be below the average return of the industry over the next eight to 12 months. Analyst's definitions vary regarding the time frame used and the benchmark the security is compared against.

ferdi is correct, and Gosh is incorrect. Analyst hate uttering the word sell. Underweight is a euphemism for sell.
