What price range does the model give ABBV?
The calibrated range for ABBV over 63 trading days is $244.63 to $297.93. It sits around the last close, and its width comes from the volatility that ABBV's own options imply (28% a year), calibrated weekly against realised prices (n = 3,330 past valuations, refreshed 26 Sep 2026). Ranges built this way held the price 60% of the time at this horizon. The fair value is the model's opinion and rides beside the range. It is not the centre of it.
