Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) forecast
Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) forecast: price $321.68, trailing P/E 16.43, forward P/E 15.63. How to read the street's path.
The live GOOG price is $321.68. Trailing P/E is 16.43 and forward P/E is 15.63. The forecast that matters is the earnings path those ratios imply, not a single target price.
A forward P/E below the trailing P/E means the consensus expects earnings to rise. The reverse means the market is looking at a peak. Neither is a schedule. Analyst targets are useful as a range of models. They are not a contract. Discounted cash flow is the long form: cash flows, a discount rate, and a terminal value you can argue with.
