Price target

Where an analyst expects a stock to trade in about 12 months.

Why it matters

The average target shows where the Street thinks the stock is heading. Targets tend to follow the price rather than lead it.

How to read it

Compare the average target with Cluenex’s fair value: they answer different questions (sentiment versus value).
