ETF Channel Staff - Thursday, June 22, 7:47 AMLooking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the ProShares Online Retail ETF (ONLN), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $41.34 per unit.
With ONLN trading at a recent price near $31.99 per unit, that means that analysts see 29.24% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of ONLN's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are JD.com, Inc. (JD), Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA), and Sea Ltd (SE). Although JD has traded at a recent price of $36.59/share, the average analyst target is 67.97% higher at $61.46/share.

Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.
