$KTOS Gains One More Analyst, but Average Price Target Falls from $99.57 to $98.33
An analyst's price target shows their view of the stock, and this time more analysts issued one while the average target went down, so it is worth a closer look.
01What happened
According to stockanalysis.com, $KTOS gained one more analyst with a price target, but the average price target fell from $99.57 to $98.33.
02Key numbers
The closing price on October 16 was $40.42. The average target of $98.33 is about 143% above that. Side by side, the gap stands out.
03In short
A price target is a rough sense of what an analyst thinks a stock is worth. The average is all the targets added together and divided by the number of analysts. There is one more analyst now, yet the average went down. The source says the sell-side did not raise their targets along with the share price.
04For investors
$KTOS's average target is about 143% above the closing price, so the room for upside looks large. But a target is only an analyst's estimate, not a guarantee. It can change as the analysts' views change.
