| Name | Symbol | Recent Price | Avg. Analyst 12-Mo. Target | % Upside to Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 ETF | VIOO | $98.19 | $126.17 | 28.50% |

The key questions remain: Are analysts justified in their price targets, or are they overly optimistic? Do these target prices accurately reflect current trends in company and industry developments, or are they outdated? A high target price relative to a stock’s recent trading price can indicate optimism about future performance. Yet, it may also signal potential target price downgrades if those targets stem from past evaluations. Investors are encouraged to conduct thorough research to assess these dynamics.
