The 11 Wall Street analysts covering Graco, Inc. have a median 12-month price target of $94, with estimates ranging from $84 to $100. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.
Of the 11 analysts covering Graco, Inc., 3 rate it a Buy, 8 a Hold and 0 a Sell. Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model ranks Graco, Inc. 76 out of 100 across roughly 4,600 US stocks as at 10 Sept 2026. None of this is personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances.
As at 10 Sept 2026, Graco, Inc. ranks 76 out of 100 on Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model — a percentile across roughly 4,600 US stocks, built from its factor families. Its strongest factor family is Volatility (100 of 100).
