Top ranked stocks by analyst price targets

Every published price target from the last 180 days is averaged per company. A company needs at least four analysts in that window to appear, which removes the thinly covered names where one outlying target would otherwise dominate the list. The ranking is the gap between that average and the last close, as a percentage.

Targets lag price. When a stock falls hard, the published targets stay where they were until each analyst gets round to revising, so the apparent upside widens precisely when confidence in the company is lowest. The largest numbers on this page are often stocks the market has already rejected — which is why the breakdown below each name shows the price chart and the balance sheet, not just the target.

The most interesting rows are the ones where the analyst view and the insider view point the same way: a wide gap to consensus and officers buying on the open market. The breakdown shows both, so the two can be read against each other rather than in isolation.

Each breakdown carries the highest and lowest target as well as the average. A tight range means analysts broadly agree; a wide one means they do not, and the average is hiding a real argument about the company.
