What is a Price Target?

A "price target" is an estimate of the future price of a stock based on earnings forecasts and assumed valuation multiples. Price targets are typically generated by respected market analysts who believe a stock to be fairly valued relative to its projected and historical earnings. Target prices are used to evaluate stocks and can help investors evaluate the potential risk/reward profile of a stock. Let's review some consumer_cyclical stocks and their price targets.
