Assume that the median target has a 50% probability of happening, and the lowest and highest targets each have a 25% probability of occurring.

Use the information in #1 to #4 to calculate an expected price return for the stock over the next year and record it. Add this to #5 to get the expected TOTAL return for each of the stocks over the next year. This is the return you could reasonably expect to receive if you buy the stock now.
