What is the price target of Acacia Research Corporation (ACTG)?

The 12-month analyst consensus target is $6.00, about 29.3% above the current $4.64. A consensus target is the average of Wall Street's 12-month forecasts, so it works as a sentiment gauge rather than a guarantee, and it resets with every earnings cycle.

What is the future stock price of ACTG by 2030?

Our research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $10.67, built from revenue projections, a growth-adjusted P/S multiple, net debt, and share dilution. It is a scenario rather than a prediction, and the bull and bear cases around it matter more than the single number when you are sizing a position.

Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $27.01, a +85.0% margin of safety versus today's $4.64. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A positive reading means the price sits below that estimate, leaving a cushion if growth holds.

Acacia Research Corporation's Altman Z-Score is 2.43, which places it in the grey zone. The Altman Z-Score gauges bankruptcy risk from profitability, leverage, and asset efficiency, and a higher reading points to lower financial distress risk.
