- Call and put volume are fairly close today — no strong directional lean in the options flow.
Options-implied move vs. analyst target
The chain's longest listed expiration (Mar 19, 2027, 154 days out) implies 21.97% annualized vol near the money — a one-standard-deviation move to roughly $78.96–$105.24 by then.

Analyst target range, ~12mo

Two different things on the same scale: the purple band is the options market's own near-term volatility pricing (statistical, 154 days out); the blue band is sell-side opinion on a roughly 12-month horizon. Neither is a forecast.
