According to Thomson/First Call, five analysts who cover Sears Holdings (SHLD) have a median price target on the company of $147. Their mean price target is $152.40. After poor earnings, Sears should open around $100.

The "mean recommendation" on the shares is a 2.9. A rating of 1 is a strong buy and a 5 is a strong sell.

It must be that Wall St. firms covering Sears don’t like the word "Sell."
