The 12-month analyst consensus target is $22.40, about 21.9% above the current $18.38. 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 QNST by 2030?
Our research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $23.01, 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.
