useful, but only a supplement · Valuation — what a company is actually worth
The average of what Wall Street analysts think a stock will be worth in about 12 months.
It’s a handy sanity check, but it’s consensus — the crowd’s view — so relying on it can’t help you beat the crowd, and sell-side targets run systematically optimistic. The app deliberately treats its own calculations (DCF, growth, trend) as the driver and the analyst target as a 30–40% supplement, with a 15% haircut when it’s the only number available. The whole design principle: our calculations lead, consensus only confirms.
app value blend = 0.6 × our-DCF upside + 0.4 × analyst upside (if the analyst target is the only input, its upside is first cut 15%)
