Options-implied move vs. analyst target
The chain's longest listed expiration (Mar 19, 2027, 159 days out) implies 21.86% annualized vol near the money — a one-standard-deviation move to roughly $75.69–$101.21 by then.

$75.69now $88.45$101.21
Analyst target range, ~12mo
$91.13avg $97.23$106.55
Two different things on the same scale: the purple band is the options market's own near-term volatility pricing (statistical, 159 days out); the blue band is sell-side opinion on a roughly 12-month horizon. Neither is a forecast.
