What is a Price Target Summary?
A price target summary aggregates analyst price target data across multiple timeframes—last month, last quarter, last year, and all time—giving investors a comprehensive view of how Wall Street expectations have evolved. Unlike a single consensus number, a multi-period summary reveals whether analyst sentiment is trending higher, lower, or staying flat over time.
By comparing the average price target and the number of analyst estimates across different periods, you can identify momentum shifts in professional sentiment. For example, if the last month's average target is significantly higher than the all-time average, it may signal growing optimism among analysts covering the stock.

Understanding Price Target Summary Data
The price target summary provides a structured breakdown of analyst expectations. Each timeframe captures a snapshot of how many analysts issued targets and what their average projection was. This data is sourced from leading financial publishers who aggregate and report analyst research.
When evaluating a stock, pay attention to the direction of change between timeframes. If the last month's average target is higher than the last quarter's, analysts may be growing more bullish. Conversely, a declining trend could signal increasing caution. The analyst count also matters—a higher number of estimates generally produces a more statistically reliable average.
Key Points to Remember:
- Price targets are forward-looking estimates, not guarantees of future stock performance
- More analyst coverage typically means a more reliable consensus average
- Compare recent targets to historical averages to detect sentiment shifts
- Always combine analyst data with your own fundamental and technical analysis
