QLTY Forecast 2026: Price Target, Outlook and What Analysts Expect
Last updated October 2026
Short answer
Nobody publishes a price target for QLTY itself. What can be measured is what analysts expect for the stocks it holds: across 10 of its top holdings, about 46% of the fund, the weight-adjusted average analyst price target sits 19.2% above current prices, and analysts expect those companies' earnings to grow about +11% next fiscal year. It yields about 0.66% at today's price. Over the past year its price changed +19.6% (to 2026-10-16). Figures as of October 2026. Walnut is not an investment adviser.
What analysts expect for QLTY's top holdings
Weighting each covered holding's consensus price target by its share of QLTY gives an average target 19.2% above current prices. That covers 10 holdings and about 46% of the fund; the rest is either outside the top holdings we track or lacks enough analyst coverage to average.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| MSFT Microsoft Corp | 7.9% | +12.7% | 53 | +20% |
| GOOGL Alphabet Inc Class A | 4.9% | +26.4% | 54 | -27% |
| AAPL Apple Inc | 4.8% | -4.1% | 39 | +9% |

Weights are QLTY's published top holdings as of October 2026. Targets and estimates are each company's sell-side consensus from Yahoo Finance as of October 2026; a dash means fewer than three analysts or no data. Each linked ticker opens that company's own forecast page.
Read this as the mood of the analysts who cover QLTY's largest companies, not as a forecast for the fund. Sell-side targets skew optimistic across the whole market, they run about twelve months, and they tend to follow prices as often as lead them. The earnings column is the steadier input: the covered holdings are expected to grow earnings about +11% on a weighted basis next fiscal year, which is what a stock fund's price has to be justified by over time.
QLTY income at today's yield
At a yield of about 0.66% as of October 2026, a $10,000 position in QLTY would pay roughly $66 a year. That is the current run rate; actual distributions change with what the holdings pay. For the payout history and schedule, see QLTY dividend: yield and schedule.

History tells you how QLTY has behaved, which is useful for sizing a position. It does not tell you what comes next, and periods of strong returns are often followed by weaker ones.
Is there a 2030 forecast for QLTY?
No published one. Analysts do not forecast ETFs, and the targets on the companies inside a fund run about twelve months. Any 2030 figure for QLTY is a past return projected forward.
What is certain is the cost. At 0.50% a year, about $50 on every $10,000 every year, it comes off whatever the holdings earn, in good years and bad. Across funds that track similar things, that is one of the few differences you can know in advance.
What could move QLTY from here
QLTY's three largest holdings, Microsoft Corp, Alphabet Inc Class A, Apple Inc, make up about 18% of the fund, so news about them moves it most. Beyond those names, it behaves like Actively managed, no tracked index: broad market direction, interest rates and earnings growth across its holdings decide the result.

What would change the outlook for QLTY
For a stock fund, two things move the long-run result: whether the companies it holds grow their earnings as analysts expect, and how much investors are willing to pay for those earnings. The first is what the estimates on this page describe. The second shifts with interest rates and sentiment and can swamp the first over a year or two. A cut to the earnings outlook for QLTY's largest holdings, or a rise in long-term rates that makes future profits worth less today, are the two developments most likely to pull the fund below what the targets imply.
How to read this page: the analyst figures describe expectations for the holdings, not for the fund; the yield describes current income, not total return; the history describes one path through the market, not the next one. The cost is the only line that is known in advance.
