What is the price target of Scholastic Corporation (SCHL)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $42.00, about 20.0% above the current $35.01. 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 research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $52.96, 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 $35.30, a +0.0% margin of safety versus today's $35.01. 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.
