Where Wall Street sees the most upside: week of September 7, 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 September 7, 2026.
The widest gaps to the average target

How to read it
The ten stocks shown here all carry buy ratings from their covering analysts, yet trade meaningfully below the average 12-month price targets those analysts have published. AppLovin leads the screen, with its current price trailing the consensus target by the largest margin on this list. Oracle and Carnival follow, alongside semiconductor and tech infrastructure names like Broadcom and Micron that cluster in the upper half of the gap rankings.
A wide spread between current price and analyst target can signal two very different market conditions. Analysts may have visibility into fundamental strength that hasn't yet reflected in the stock price. Alternatively, targets may have become stale following a sharp price decline, with rating actions lagging the market move. The recency and direction of analyst revisions will clarify which scenario applies to each name: fresh upgrades and raised targets point toward the former, while unchanged or previously issued targets alongside falling prices point toward the latter.
For readers evaluating these stocks, the implied gaps alone offer no directional signal. The analyst consensus itself represents third-party opinion, not prediction. Current price and target simply show where professional analysts stood on valuation; whether that gap closes through price appreciation, target reductions, or some combination remains an open question that depends on how business fundamentals actually develop.
