Free Stock Price Projections — Bear, Base & Bull Scenarios

What Are Bear, Base, and Bull Stock Projections?

Bear, base, and bull projections are scenario-based forward price targets for a stock. Rather than giving you a single analyst price target — which ignores the range of possible outcomes — the three-scenario model shows you where the stock might trade under different conditions:

For options traders, these three reference points are more useful than a single price target because options strategies profit or lose across a range of outcomes, not just one.

How to Use Projections to Choose Option Strikes

The projection scenarios map directly onto options strategy selection:

• Covered call writers can use the bull target to set a call strike that captures most of the upside while collecting premium — and use the bear target to assess how much cushion they have before the stock dips below their cost basis.
• Cash-secured put sellers can use the bear target to identify a strike that the stock is unlikely to reach in the base scenario — maximizing premium collection while limiting assignment risk.
• Long call buyers can confirm that the bull target is above their breakeven price before committing to the trade.
• Spread traders can use the base and bull targets to define the upper boundary of a call spread and ensure the short leg sits above the consensus target.
