# Analyst view (stocks)

Here, we collect publicly disclosed target prices on this asset provided by external analysts from investment banks and research houses and range them according to the distance between the current asset price and maximum, minimum, median, and average target prices, the number of covering analysts, and the dispersion of target prices. The low score is assigned to an asset with no or minimal number of covering analysts, very close or negative distance to maximum, median, and average target prices, or very distant or negative distance to the minimum target price, and very high dispersion of target prices, as this shows little agreement of views among the analysts.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.praa.ms/return-factors/analyst-view-stocks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
