For the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (Symbol: MGK), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $100.93 per unit. With MGK trading at a recent price near $87.44 per unit, that means that analysts see 15.42% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of MGK's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are AutoZone, Inc. (Symbol: AZO), Sherwin-Williams Co (Symbol: SHW), and Boeing Co. (Symbol: BA).

Analyst 12-Mo. Target % Upside to Target **Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF** **MGK** **$87.44** **$100.93** **15.42%** AutoZone, Inc. AZO $3347.28 $4283.08 27.96% Sherwin-Williams Co SHW $299.05 $382.10 27.77% Boeing Co. BA $215.01 $269.54 25.36% 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. 10 ETFs With Most Upside To Analyst Targets » ##### Also see: • Energy Stock Articles • EFC Dividend History • Stocks with Recent Secondaries That Hedge Funds Are Buying The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc. ### Related Stocks - [AZO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AZO.US.md) - [SHW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SHW.US.md) - [BA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BA.US.md) - [MGK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MGK.US.md) - [NDAQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NDAQ.US.md) - [BOE.UK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BOE.UK.md) ## Related News & Research - [If You Invested $1000 In Sherwin-Williams Stock 15 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287086012.md) - [ABN Amro Investment Solutions Reduces Holdings in The Sherwin-Williams Company $SHW](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287174176.md) - [Kinsale Capital Group Inc.
