Yahoo, as of Oct 19, 2026
MA: Tickzen Forecast vs Wall Street Targets
Tickzen's statistical range and the street's published targets on one price axis.
Dashed line: today's price $620.42
The analyst mean target of $672.09 is 2.8% below the model's median of $691.27 for Oct 2027. It sits near the middle of Tickzen's model range.
The model's Oct 2027 upper range of $921.14 is above MA's 52-week high of $619.80, and its lower range of $518.77 is above the 52-week low of $464.52.
They answer different questions: the model's range shows how far MA has typically moved, while analyst targets are opinions about what it is worth.
How Tickzen calculates the MA forecast range
The range is based on MA's own historical price volatility and the model's forecast distribution: 80% of modelled outcomes fall inside it, 10% above and 10% below. The model uses daily price history only; analyst targets are shown separately and are not an input.
Central 80% prediction interval at the end of each period from a lognormal model scaled by the stock's own realised volatility (sqrt-time growth); base is the median path (long-run drift plus a shrunk Prophet trend).
The model is a range model, not a price predictor: its centre line is today's price plus normal long-run growth, so the range matters more than any single number. Probabilities describe the model's distribution, not guaranteed returns.
100% of the analyst target range falls inside the model's 80% range.
Model details
- Model confidence score: 75.2% (High). This is an indicator-agreement score, a heuristic blend of technical indicators, volume, volatility, analyst consensus, data quality and market regime. It is not a probability and has not been back-tested; the validated figures are under Model historical accuracy.
- Version: tickzen-prophet-v2
- Anchored to the Oct 2, 2026 close of $552.26
- Generated Oct 5, 2026
- Prices are scaled to the latest close: the model is multiplicative around its starting price, so every figure is multiplied by $620.42 / $552.26 = 1.123. The model is refitted on a schedule; the starting price follows the market.
