What is the price target of TransAlta Corp (TAC)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $21.33, about 66.6% above the current $12.80. 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 TAC by 2030?
Our research-backed model puts the 2030 base case at $4.25, 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.

TransAlta Corp's trailing twelve-month revenue is $2.21B, and our model projects it reaching about $3.38B by 2030.
