Fixating on a single price target can be unwise though, since the consensus target is effectively the average of analyst price targets. As a result, some investors like to look at the range of estimates to see if there are any diverging opinions on the company's valuation. There are some variant perceptions on Companhia Paranaense de Energia - COPEL, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at R$22.00 and the most bearish at R$14.50 per share.
