It’s a single number that grades an analyst’s price targets on a specific stock on three things at once: timeliness (how quickly the target was reached), consistency (how reliably, across all their calls), and margin (the size of the move). A bold target the stock reaches early earns a lot; a slow or timid one earns little; a target the stock never reaches counts as zero. A high score means just that — timely calls, met consistently, on good-sized moves.

The number you see is the average across every target that analyst has set on that stock since 2004 — so one lucky call can’t inflate it. It exists to answer the practical question when a new call lands: act on it, or ignore it? The score is free on the Nasdaq 100 and our six sample stocks, and unlocked everywhere with Advanced.

Because the score rewards conviction and speed, not how often a target is met. A bold target the stock reaches fast — and by a wide margin — is worth far more than a cautious one that inches to fruition over years, so a punchy record can outrank a flawless-but-sluggish one.

Tesla is the cleanest case, and the chart above shows it: Itay Michaeli (TD Cowen) has his targets met just 65% of the time, yet he outranks Vijay Rakesh (Mizuho), whose land 89% of the time — because Michaeli’s are reached in about 86 days versus 274. Roughly three times faster beats 24 points of hit rate.

It repeats across volatile names. On Moderna, Edward Tenthoff (Piper Sandler) sees barely 61% of his targets met — close to a coin flip — yet posts one of the highest scores on the whole site (7.17), because when his targets land they land early: about 84 days on a stock that can swing 30% in a month. Meanwhile an analyst can hit 100% of modest targets that take 600+ days to arrive and still score near the bottom — all the precision in the world, none of the payoff.

That’s the whole point: hit rate alone never tells you who to act on. A 90%-met analyst whose targets take two years to arrive is trivia; a 60%-met one whose calls pay off in three months is someone you set an alert on.

Because an analyst can be strong on one name and weak on another — a sector specialist who nails semiconductors may be middling on banks. A single market-wide ranking blends those together and hides it.

AnaChart scores each analyst on each stock instead. On Salesforce, for example, Michael Turrin (Wells Fargo) tops the list with an 8.90 — a standout a blended all-stocks score would bury in his average. When you’re deciding on your stock, that’s the number that matters.

The inputs are fully transparent: how closely each target was reached, the size of the move it called, and the time it took to get there, with targets the stock never reached scored as zero. The precise weighting that combines them is proprietary — it’s the part competitors can’t copy without our 833,000-target history.

If you want to see exactly how it works, the plain-English explainer video walks through a worked example end to end.

Four things, really. Both the current and the previous price target for every analyst, so you can see the direction and size of each revision — not just where they stand today. The time it typically takes a target to be reached — the only platform that shows this, and the input that powers the speed half of the score. A per-stock track record for every analyst — how often their targets are met, and how fast — so you judge them on the name you care about. And a source link on every call, so nothing is a black box.

The deeper difference is the framing: other sites show you what analysts say. AnaChart shows you whether their price targets came true — and therefore which ones are worth acting on.

Two layers. First, every item we extract from our million-plus articles and snippets passes more than 20 automated checks before it’s published — catching mismatched tickers, bad numbers, stale dates and duplicates.

Second, and more importantly, every price target or rating that got public attention carries a link to its original source. If a call ever looks off, click the link and confirm it yourself — the verification is built into the page.

To 2004 — more than twenty years and 833,000+ individual price targets across the US market. Everything is split-adjusted and checked against each stock’s real price history.

Crucially, that history includes delisted companies, so there’s no survivorship bias — an analyst’s record isn’t flattered just because the names that went to zero quietly dropped out of the dataset.

Because we screen for quality and they often don’t. To appear on AnaChart an analyst needs a real track record on a stock — either two recommendations on one stock in the last two years, or five with no time limit.

Sites with no such bar pad their analyst counts with one-off, drive-by coverage. A bigger list isn’t a better one if most of it is noise.

Of roughly a million records, about 200,000 are duplicates — the same analyst, stock and call covered the same day by two or more outlets. We de-duplicate them so a single call is never counted twice, and the longer, more complete article gets the reference link.

Their full coverage history, their average valuation, the met ratio of their price targets per stock, and how long their targets typically take to be reached. It’s everything you need to judge whether a given analyst’s call is worth your attention — and the basics are free, no account needed.

Each balloon (a tooltip) marks the exact point on the timeline where an analyst posted a rating or price target, plotted against the stock’s price. Members get the link to the source article behind each one.

If they get crowded, toggle off the price line or the analyst lines to focus, or use the zoom button on the top right — the blue button always zooms back out when you’re done.

Yes — current prices, ratings, recommendations and the top analyst per stock (with their met percentage) all work on a phone. For the full historical chart, where you compare many analysts’ lines over years at once, a computer gives you the room to read it properly.

A lot. Full access on the Nasdaq 100 — every analyst’s track record, performance score and all chart lines — plus every analyst’s met ratio, upside and days-to-target on every stock in the market.

And six stocks — AAPL, AMZN, BABA, MRNA, PFE and TSLA — work with no signup at all, so you can see the product before you create an account.

It unlocks the full market: the performance score on every stock (not just the Nasdaq 100), all analyst lines on every chart, real-time alerts on up to 10 starred stocks, and weighted sentiment across the entire US market. It’s $45/month with a 7-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime.

AnaChart checks for new analyst activity every hour. When a new target or rating lands on a stock you’ve starred, Advanced members get an email during market hours — immediate on desktop, with an optional hourly digest.

What makes it useful is what travels with it: the analyst’s track record and performance score on that stock, right in the email — so you can judge the call in seconds instead of opening five tabs.

Yes, in two clicks from your account settings — no email or phone call required. Cancel during the 7-day trial and you’re never charged, and your free Nasdaq-100 access stays forever either way.

Yes. The full trust-scored dataset — every analyst and every target since 2004, active and delisted — is available warehouse-native in Snowflake or BigQuery through Corporate Access, with no ETL on your side. See anachart.store.
