Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (LGND) forecast
Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (LGND) forecast: price $306.93, trailing P/E 31.45, forward P/E 32.84. How to read the street's path.
The live LGND price is $306.93. Trailing P/E is 31.45 and forward P/E is 32.84. 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.
