Exent analyst data, Oct 17, 2026. Targets are analysts' opinions, not promises.

Wall Street analysts rarely agree. On most stocks they split between Buy, Hold and Sell. This one is different. In the last 90 days, 37 analysts rated it a Buy, and 33 of them are top-ranked in Exent's analyst data: 4 stars or more out of 5 for the track record of their calls.

Then the market turned. In three days this week the stock fell 7%, and it closed Friday 9% below its 52-week high. Here is who rates it, what they see in it, and what could go wrong.

It's not Nvidia. On Stock Radar's list, only Nvidia ties it.

Everyone expects the top analysts to love Nvidia. They do: 33 of them rate it a Buy. That is not news. The other stock with 33 is. It is a mega-cap tech company, and it sits at #1 on Stock Radar's Strong Buy list. The average stock on that list has 13 top-ranked analysts behind it.

In the week it fell, 12 of the 33 restated their Buy. No analyst downgraded it.

Average of the 31 top-ranked analysts who gave a target.

Between Monday and Friday, 12 of the 33 top-ranked analysts restated their rating, and every one kept its Buy. In the last 90 days, not one of the 43 analysts who rate it downgraded it. JPMorgan went the other way: it upgraded the stock from Neutral on September 10, and its target now sits 30% above Friday's close.

Why 33 top‑ranked analysts agree, in plain words.

+28%Sales growth, last quarterQuarter to Jun 30, vs a year earlier

The business is still growing fast for a company its size. Bank of America expects its next results, due next week, to beat Wall Street's sales estimate, helped by AI.

17 of 33Raised their targets since JulySince its last results, Jul 29

It released new AI models this week. Guggenheim says its AI is closing the gap with the leading AI labs. Guggenheim and UBS both raised their targets, pointing to new ways the AI could make money.

+18%To their average targetFrom the Oct 16 close

The price fell. The targets did not. The top-ranked analysts' average target sits 18% above Friday's close, and Truist's new target of $1,000, set on Oct 13, sits 41% above it.

−27%Its 52‑week lowMar 27, vs Friday's close

Not everyone agrees. The lowest target, a Hold from BMO Capital, sits 18% below Friday's close. Three Buy ratings carry targets, set in July, that are below Friday's close too. On Oct 14 Goldman Sachs kept its Buy but lowered its target, citing rising costs.

The company reports results next week, and one report can move a stock sharply either way. It has fallen before: in March it traded 27% below Friday's price. A Buy from 33 analysts is an opinion, not a promise.

Before you go looking for it.

Haven't I already missed it?

It closed Friday 9% below its September high.

The top-ranked analysts' average target is 18% above that close.

Is this a recommendation?

No. It is research: what the best-ranked analysts are doing, and what could go wrong.
