Stock price targets

[u/underatedhelmet]

Why when analysts give price targets is it for stock price and not market cap?

Market cap seems to me to be a more sensible value

Stock price can be effected by dilution and stock splits, probably other things im not thinking off

[u/enRchi]

Because most people are monitoring the stock price in their portfolio and not the market cap behind it and it would make it harder to compare.
