With PID trading at a recent price near $17.75 per unit, that means that analysts see 12.04% 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 Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP (NYSE:BIP), Novartis AG Basel (NYSE:NVS), and Enbridge Inc (NYSE:ENB). Although BIP has traded at a recent price of $27.69/share, the average analyst target is 37.23% higher at $38.00/share. Similarly, NVS has 16.70% upside from the recent share price of $97.40 if the average analyst target price of $113.67/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting ENB to reach a target price of $40.71/share, which is 16.44% above the recent price of $34.96. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of BIP, NVS, and ENB:

Combined, BIP, NVS, and ENB represent 9.34% of the Invesco International Dividend Achievers ETF. 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
Invesco International Dividend Achievers ETF	PID	$17.75	$19.89	12.04%
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP	BIP	$27.69	$38.00	37.23%
Novartis AG Basel	NVS	$97.40	$113.67	16.70%
Enbridge Inc	ENB	$34.96	$40.71	16.44%

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.
