BILL Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BILL) is one of the takeover rumors targeted by short sellers.

On April 13, 2026, Goldman Sachs maintained a Buy rating on BILL Holdings and cut its price target to $44 from $52.

Even after that cut, overall analyst sentiment remains fairly supportive rather than broken. BILL has a Moderate Buy consensus from 22 analysts, made up of 13 Buy ratings, 8 Holds, and 1 Sell, while the average 12-month price target stands at $54.43. The target range is wide, from $20 to $85, which tells you the Street agrees more on the company being controversial than on exactly how much it is worth. Against the current share price of about $40.31, the average target implies roughly 35% upside.

On November 12, 2025, Reuters reported that BILL was exploring a sale after concluding its shares were undervalued, amid pressure from activist investors including Starboard Value and Elliott, and the stock jumped 14% in after-hours trading on that report.
