The 4 Wall Street analysts covering WD-40 Co. have a median 12-month price target of $265, with estimates ranging from $215 to $282. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.
Of the 4 analysts covering WD-40 Co., 3 rate it a Buy, 1 a Hold and 0 a Sell. Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model ranks WD-40 Co. 80 out of 100 across roughly 4,600 US stocks as at 13 Nov 2026. None of this is personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances.
As at 13 Nov 2026, WD-40 Co. ranks 80 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 Quality (99 of 100).
No one can know that. What the data says: the median 12-month target from 4 analysts implies +18.6% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks WD-40 Co. 80 out of 100 as at 13 Nov 2026. Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.
No analyst covering WD-40 Co. publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out. Sites quoting a 2030 price for WDFC are extrapolating price history, which says nothing about the business. The furthest attributed numbers are the current analyst targets: $215 to $282 over the next 12 months.
WD-40 Co. returned +15.1% over the 12 months to 13 Nov 2026, with dividends reinvested. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
