StockUpside.io ranks stocks by analyst consensus price target upside. This is the percentage difference between a stock's current price and the average price target set by Wall Street analysts covering it. For example, A stock trading at $100 with a $130 average target has 30% upside.
The data comes from two sources: the list of tickers we track is built from SEC EDGAR filings, and analyst price targets, ratings, and fundamentals come from Yahoo Finance. We refresh the full dataset nightly.
Why Filter Out Micro-Caps?
Early on, our top 10 by raw upside was dominated by micro-cap and nano-cap stocks. These companies had market caps under $250M, often covered by just one or two analysts. One or two analyst could set an aggressive price target on a penny stock which can create huge upside values of 10,000% or more which are not at all indicitive of general Wall Street sentiment. Also, these stocks could have between beaten down -90% YTD or more, which makes outdated price targets seem like an aggressive choice. These stocks carry huge risk than the upside number might suggest
To make the free top 10 more useful for most people, we apply two default filters to the free tier: a minimum market cap of $250M (small-cap and above) and a minimum of 5 analysts covering the stock. This means the free list reflects stocks where there's broader analyst agreement, not a single outlier opinion.
What Pro Users See Differently
Pro subscribers can adjust or remove both filters, which includes viewing nano-cap stocks with a single analyst, and stocks where the consensus target is actually below the current price (i.e. analysts see downside, not upside). We added downside stocks to the dataset so that a stock that runs past its average target doesn't just disappear. You can still track it, especially useful if it's on your watchlist.
