Key Issues

Bullish view

The consensus is Buy across 30 analysts with a mean target of $1,100, while a Yahoo Finance article says a $1,200 target is coming into focus. That implies analysts see material value above the reported $910.18 close.

Bearish view

The shares still trade at a high absolute price, and Simply Wall St. says analysts have modestly lowered their average target to around $1,020. JPMorgan also cut its target from $1,110 to $1,100 while retaining Overweight.

Analyst Ratings Synthesis

The supplied consensus is Buy across 30 analysts, with a $1,100 mean target; low and high targets are unavailable, so the target spread cannot be measured. The most bullish and least bullish named analysts are not identified in the evidence. The clearest reported revision is JPMorgan analyst Christopher Horvers maintaining Overweight while lowering his target from $1,110 to $1,100. Simply Wall St. also says the average target has been modestly reduced to around $1,020, indicating a downward revision direction in the available data. The substantive disagreement is valuation: bullish views point to targets of $1,100-$1,200, while lower revised averages reflect concern that Costco's premium may limit upside.
