Analysts back Calix stock with higher targets

According to MarketBeat on September 20, 2026, nine brokerages currently cover Calix stock, with seven rating the shares as buy and two at hold, resulting in a consensus recommendation of Moderate Buy.

As the same overview from MarketBeat reports, the average 12-month price target for Calix stands at USD 63.86, compared with a referenced share price of USD 35.17, indicating that analysts see roughly 81.6 percent potential appreciation if targets are met.

In that same report, MarketBeat notes that Rosenblatt Securities cut its price objective for Calix earlier from USD 70.00 to USD 55.00 while maintaining a buy rating, illustrating how analyst views have adjusted but remain broadly positive.

Earnings beat and strong revenue growth support the story

The recent fundamental performance underpins this optimism. According to MarketBeat, Calix reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 0.47 in its latest reported quarter, exceeding the consensus estimate of USD 0.40 by USD 0.07.

In the same quarter, revenue reached USD 293.33 million, which MarketBeat highlights as a 21.3 percent increase year over year, showing that the company is expanding its top line at a double-digit pace.

Looking ahead, guidance is also firm: MarketBeat reports that Calix has set earnings guidance for the third quarter of 2026 at an adjusted EPS range of USD 0.37 to USD 0.45, which, if achieved, would keep results broadly in line with or slightly below the latest quarter but still represent solid profitability.

For the full current fiscal year, research analysts on MarketBeat forecast that Calix will post approximately USD 0.89 in EPS, suggesting that the recent quarterly beat is not viewed as a one-off but part of a sustainable earnings profile.

Valuation, trading levels and investor perspective

On the market side, the MarketBeat snapshot shows Calix stock opening at USD 35.17 in a recent session, with a 1-year low of USD 33.95 and a 1-year high of USD 71.22, meaning the shares currently trade close to their 52-week low and roughly 50.6 percent below the 52-week high.

A separate quantitative view from Faircurve dated September 19, 2026 ranks Calix within technology stocks, citing a last close of USD 35.24 and an internal model fair value of USD 36.24, implying a modest 2.8 percent upside and a market value of about USD 2.2 billion.

For investors, this creates a nuanced picture: traditional sell-side analysts, as compiled by MarketBeat, project far stronger upside over the next year than the more conservative fair-value estimate from Faircurve, while the share price remains depressed relative to the past year’s high despite recent fundamental strength.
