Asked ChatGPT where Rolls-Royce shares will be by the end of 2026. It said...

Rolls-Royce shares have resumed a strong uptrend, reaching new all-time highs after consolidating from early March to mid-June. But a forecast sourced from ChatGPT is drawing scrutiny: the AI said the stock could end 31 December 2026 at £17.50, with a stated range of £17–£18. It also offered bear, base and bull targets of £13–£14.50, £16.50–£18 and £19–21+ respectively. A key concern raised in the article is internal inconsistency between the “central” and “base” cases, plus the assumption of “gradual multiple expansion” despite a reported P/E of 37.
