Here’s a summary of the current analyst target prices:

Name Symbol Recent Price Avg. Analyst 12-Mo. Target % Upside to Target
iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA Small-Cap ETF ESML $42.04 $48.02 14.23%
Viridian Therapeutics Inc VRDN $22.17 $39.07 76.21%
Keros Therapeutics Inc KROS $59.64 $90.90 52.41%
Disc Medicine Inc IRON $45.60 $69.25 51.86%

These differing perspectives require careful scrutiny. Are the analysts’ target projections grounded in realistic expectations, or are they skewed by recent trends in the market? A target price that is significantly higher than the current trading price can indicate optimism for future growth, but it may also lead to potential downgrades if those predictions don’t reflect current market conditions. Investors are encouraged to conduct further research on these developments.
