What is the price target of Astec Industries Inc (ASTE)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $67.25, about 62.9% above the current $41.28. 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.

Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $55.02, a -5.4% margin of safety versus today's $41.28. Intrinsic value is what the projected cash flows are worth today. A negative reading means the price is running ahead of that conservative estimate, leaving little downside cushion if growth slows.
