Dan Ives — Wedbush Securities

C Wedbush Securities (sell-side research & media calls) ↗ covering technology on the sell side since the 1990s; at Wedbush since 2018

Sell-side price targets are public, dated and archived by aggregators — but there is no composite return series, targets are revised freely, and no platform computes an outcome record. The IVES ETF (since mid-2025) adds a first NAV-verifiable slice.

The Closelook read

The loudest tech bull on the sell side. Every target is public and datable — and like all analyst records, the sum of them is unscored. The Famous Calls Record takes them one at a time.

Aggregators archive sell-side targets, so individual Ives calls are easy to date and check — TipRanks-style hit rates exist but depend heavily on methodology (horizon, revision handling, universe). That is why the catalogue grades the format C on verifiability and tracks the headline calls individually instead of quoting a blended accuracy number nobody computes the same way. His $600 Tesla target is the live test case in our Famous Calls Record.

In the Famous Calls Record

  • Open Tesla closed at 390.84 on 2026-11-11 — it needs +53.5% to reach the target. the entry →

Standings are computed nightly from closes under each entry's stated rule (as of 2026-11-12); the written verdict on the entry page is editorial.
