The $1.14 central target is not an analyst consensus; it is the all-cash merger consideration in GoPro, Inc. (GPRO) 's pending deal with Starman Optical, agreed in September 2026. With the stock trading near $0.88, reaching $1.14 would require a move of roughly 29.5%.
The central target of $1,620 is the arithmetic mean of verified, current analyst price targets, rounded to a clean level; it is not a single firm's forecast or a guarantee. At a recent price of about $690 , reaching $1,620 would require a gain of roughly 135% , a very large move by any standard.
