Daily closes. Earnings/event dots inline.
A consensus fair price across 7 valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-09-04. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.
Today's peer multiple on trailing earnings, with no growth credited. This is the headline read.
Adds projected growth, so it leans optimistic by design. Read it as upside context, not a base case.
We take the 12-month fair value above and grade our own number — how the market prices this name versus what we'd justify, and where the two diverge.
At $23 STAA trades at 30× p/e, in line with its 28× p/e peer median — but our blended $26 fair value sits above the price. It's a high-confidence read. Analysts target $19–$40. Not investment advice.
One valuation read at a 12-month horizon, plus how price compares to peers and the company's own history.
