Don't take the ML target prices literally they are just a rough estimate of projected earnings multiplied by a reasonable P/E ratio. In SUNW's example S. Milunovich feels $103 per share is reasonable based on $1.87 per share and a P/E of 55

BTW, many firms avoid the use of explicit targets.

And I can see why! :)

It looks like they use this price target thing within a brokerage house to score the various analysts recommendations against each other.

Listen, I know a couple of people at Fair Isaac. I'm going to see if they can come up with a quick and dirty scoring system for analysts. THEN we'll have something. :)
