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. Check out this rundown of stocks and their price targets.

It will be interesting to follow how Bruker Corporation's run now faces a challenge at $71.8, which is only 20 cents away.

During a 6 day fall, dropping a total of 5.57%, ($5), yesterday may indicate a change of direction; pronounced bullish sentiment in the market helped the scientific instruments manufacturer to make a notable 1.1% gain yesterday, rising 78 cents and ultimately closing at $71.6. Trading volume totalled 746,424 which equates to around 81% of the stock's 21-day average yesterday.
