⚠️ Don’t buy a stock just because of its price targetA price target is the analysts’ estimate of where the stock will trade in 12 months. That estimate is often wrong. A large study of US stocks from 2000 to 2009 found that only 38% of price targets had been met after 12 months. On average, the targets promised 15 percentage points more return than the stocks delivered.
