The 8 Wall Street analysts covering Nova Ltd. have a median 12-month price target of $500, with estimates ranging from $415 to $600. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.
Of the 8 analysts covering Nova Ltd., 6 rate it a Buy, 2 a Hold and 0 a Sell. Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model ranks Nova Ltd. 43 out of 100 across roughly 4,600 US stocks as at 14 Oct 2026. None of this is personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances.
As at 14 Oct 2026, Nova Ltd. ranks 43 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 Revisions (96 of 100).
No one can know that. What the data says: the median 12-month target from 8 analysts implies +50.9% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks Nova Ltd. 43 out of 100 as at 14 Oct 2026. Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.
No analyst covering Nova Ltd. publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out. Sites quoting a 2030 price for NVMI are extrapolating price history, which says nothing about the business. The furthest attributed numbers are the current analyst targets: $415 to $600 over the next 12 months.
Nova Ltd. returned +5.5% over the 12 months to 14 Oct 2026, with dividends reinvested. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
