About the AAOI price target calculator

The AAOI price target calculator projects a future share price by compounding trailing twelve-month earnings per share at an assumed growth rate and applying an exit P/E multiple at the end of the horizon. The stock currently trades at about $169.05.

AAOI has no usable next-year analyst EPS consensus in our dataset, so the calculator defaults to historical EPS growth for its scenarios. Without a long enough EPS history the base case defaults to 10% growth; adjust the sliders to reflect your own view.
