What the analyst screen can answer
This page asks which returned candidates have a Buy or Strong Buy consensus and an analyst target at least 15% above the fetched quote. It does not establish that those businesses are growing, that the targets are attainable, or that a higher gap makes a better investment. No AI model is called by this scanner.
Run a bounded comparison
- Choose the minimum market cap and volume, an optional sector and the candidate cap. These filters restrict the provider’s US-country candidate list; they do not guarantee liquidity or safety. Market-cap figures remain in provider units because no currency field is supplied.
- Select Scan. The provider’s first returned candidates are used, then analyst ratings and targets are checked. Results are sorted by the computed target-price gap, not by measured growth or return probability.
- Read the coverage summary. Missing quotes or analyst data cannot pass. A failed news request does not remove an otherwise matching row, but it leaves a visible warning.
- Open the returned news links and check the underlying reports. Counts are capped and have no shared date window, so they should not be compared as a momentum score.
Reproduce the target-price gap
Gap (%) = (consensus target ÷ quote price − 1) × 100. For a hypothetical price of 100 and a target of 115, the gap is 15%. At the same target and a price of 125, it is −8%. These examples assume a common currency and share-split basis; the quote and target endpoints used here do not establish that comparability.
The target can become stale when the company reports new information or undergoes a split. This page has no target publication date, analyst forecast horizon or target-currency field. Verify those details in the underlying research. Prices and targets are displayed without an assumed dollar sign.
The FMP target consensus documentation describes high, low, median and average analyst targets. The table uses the consensus target only. Its grades summary documentation describes rating-category counts; the scanner uses the supplied consensus label and shows counts when available, without assuming multiple analysts.
Distinguish news coverage from a trading signal
The stock-news endpoint returns articles for a symbol. This page requests up to 20, removes duplicate URLs and displays up to five links with the provider’s date text. It performs no sentiment analysis, catalyst detection or article-time normalization. Publisher access restrictions may apply.
Verify growth with statements
For revenue, EPS and margin comparisons, open the Growth Stock Finder. Keep the fiscal period, reporting currency and per-share basis consistent; a price-target gap cannot replace those checks.
