Where Wall Street sees the most upside: week of August 10, 2026
The buy-rated large caps trading furthest below their average analyst price target this week, with at least 20 covering analysts.
Every week, StockRank screens its ~500-stock US large-cap coverage for the widest gaps between the current price and the average 12-month analyst target, restricted to buy-or-better consensus with at least 20 covering analysts, so one boutique's exuberance can't dominate. Here's the screen as of August 10, 2026.

How to read it
The semiconductor sector dominates this screen of buy-rated large caps with the widest gaps between analyst targets and current prices. Sandisk, Micron, and Western Digital all cluster in the 53 to 74 percent range, suggesting either optimism about memory chip demand recovery or, conversely, that targets have not yet adjusted downward from earlier price levels. The presence of multiple chip stocks raises a key question: whether these gaps reflect analyst conviction ahead of an industry inflection or whether recent selloffs have outpaced target revisions. Oracle and AppLovin round out the technology representation with similarly substantial gaps, while traditional sectors like energy and specialty chemicals appear sparsely represented on this particular list.
The presence of 20 to 43 covering analysts across these names means targets reflect broad consensus rather than outlier views. Yet consensus itself can lag market repricing, especially if most targets were set weeks or months prior to recent volatility. The context matters enormously: if rating actions and target cuts have come recently, gaps suggest genuine upside conviction. If targets remain stale relative to near-term price declines, the gaps may narrow simply through analyst catch-up rather than through stock appreciation.
