With PID trading at a recent price near $14.05 per unit, that means that analysts see 10.68% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of PID's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are America Movil, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: AMX), Pembina Pipeline Corp (NYSE: PBA), and Prudential plc (NYSE: PUK). Although AMX has traded at a recent price of $11.53/share, the average analyst target is 32.05% higher at $15.22/share. Similarly, PBA has 27.00% upside from the recent share price of $28.86 if the average analyst target price of $36.65/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting PUK to reach a target price of $42.40/share, which is 21.00% above the recent price of $35.04. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of AMX, PBA, and PUK:

Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:

Name Symbol Recent Price Avg. Analyst 12-Mo. Target % Upside to Target
PowerShares International Dividend Achievers Portfolio ETF PID $14.05 $15.55 10.68%
America Movil, S.A.B. de C.V. AMX $11.53 $15.22 32.05%
Pembina Pipeline Corp PBA $28.86 $36.65 27.00%
Prudential plc PUK $35.04 $42.40 21.00%

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.
