What is the price target of Xcel Energy Inc (XEL)?
The 12-month analyst consensus target is $84.92, about 5.4% above the current $80.60. 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 $427.92, 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.

Xcel Energy Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $14.78B, and our model projects it reaching about $22.35B by 2030.
