Mentioned below is the relevant code, please check and let me know the issue.

Highcharts.setOptions({
chart: {
inverted: true,
marginLeft: 135,
type: 'bullet'
},
title: {
text: null
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
yAxis: {
gridLineWidth: 0
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
pointPadding: 0.25,
borderWidth: 0,
color: '#304894',
targetOptions: {
color: '#FFFFFF'
}
}
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
}
});
Highcharts.chart('container2', {
xAxis: {
categories: ['<span class="hc-cat-title">Cap Utilization</span><br/>%'],
tickPositions: [0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175] // added tick position here
},
yAxis: {
plotBands: [{
from: 0,
to: 60,
color: '#FFD700'
}, {
from: 60,
to: 85,
color: '#90EE90'
}, {
from: 85,
to: 150,
color: '#FA8072'
}],
title: null
},
series: [{
data: [{
y: 135,
target: 105,
tickPositions: [0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175]
}]
}],
tooltip: {
pointFormat: '<b>{point.y}</b> (with target at {point.target})'
}
});
This is my desired result:

Answer 1

The problem is that you are using tickPositions on the xAxis. In a bullet chart the xAxis is vertical, and the yAxis is horizontal. Therefore, by moving the tickPositions you have defined for the xAxis to the yAxis it looks as you want it to.
Highcharts.setOptions({
chart: {
inverted: true,
marginLeft: 135,
type: 'bullet'
},
title: {
text: null
},
legend: {
enabled: false
},
yAxis: {
gridLineWidth: 0
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
pointPadding: 0.25,
borderWidth: 0,
color: '#304894',
targetOptions: {
color: '#FFFFFF'
}
}
},
credits: {
enabled: false
},
exporting: {
enabled: false
}
});
