Well, if they have to keep adjusting the stock view and price target in real time, as the price of the stock is changing, it becomes ridiculous. Lets suppose you want 20% to consider a stock a BUY. A stock is $20. You do your calculation and you decide that the fair value target is $26. Ok, that's more than 20% upside, so you rate it a BUY. A few days later, the stock has moved to $22. Your target is still $26. $22 to $26 is no longer 20% up, its about 18% or 19%, so when the stock has moved from $20 to $22 it is no longer a BUY, and therefore you should change your rating lower, or move your price target higher so that the upside is at least 20% above the new current price of $22. See the problem?
