The 12-month analyst consensus target is $12.33, about 15.2% above the current $10.70. 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 intrinsic value of Cognyte Software Ltd (CGNT)?
Our DCF model estimates intrinsic value at $6.86, a -5.0% margin of safety versus today's $10.70. 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.
