What is target price?

A price someone expects an investment to reach.

Explained in more detail

A target is an opinion with a number attached, not a fact. It is only worth anything if you also know the reasoning behind it and what would make it wrong.

An example

For instanceAn analyst saying ₹900 within a year is stating an expectation, not a result.

Why this matters to you

You will meet this word in broker apps, company results and market news. Knowing what it means is not the goal on its own. The goal is being able to judge whether a number is good or bad for the investment you are actually holding.

On AlphaVik, any time target price appears in a view or a lesson, you can hover or tap the word and this explanation comes with it. You never have to leave the page to look something up.
