- Calls are outnumbering puts by more than 9.1 to 1 today — the day's options flow leans bullish.
Options-implied move vs. analyst target
The chain's longest listed expiration (Nov 6, 2026, 29 days out) implies 62.85% annualized vol near the money — a one-standard-deviation move to roughly $34.51–$49.37 by then.

$34.51now $41.94$49.37
Analyst target range, ~12mo
$60.00avg $96.67$145.00
Two different things on the same scale: the purple band is the options market's own near-term volatility pricing (statistical, 29 days out); the blue band is sell-side opinion on a roughly 12-month horizon. Neither is a forecast.
