Analysts have provided optimistic projections for the Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Value ETF (VIOV), suggesting a potential upside of 19.28% as it currently trades at $84.86 compared to a target of $101.22. This increase correlates with the anticipated performance of three of its top underlying holdings: eXp World Holdings (EXPI), Safehold Inc (SAFE), and Ligand Pharmaceuticals (LGND). Each of these holdings demonstrates significant upside potential against their respective analyst targets, suggesting investors may find opportunities within this ETF and its constituents.

eXp World Holdings (EXPI), trading at $7.89 with a staggering upside of 64.77% to the $13.00 analyst target, suggests substantial market confidence. Should this potential materialize, it reflects positively on VIOV's performance, as stated in the report. However, investors must consider if this target is justified based on future company performance.

Safehold Inc (SAFE), with a recent price of $15.34 and an analyst target of $21.90 representing a 42.76% upside, is another strong contender within the ETF. This growth potential can further bolster the expected upside for VIOV, but the sustainability of such price targets is paramount.

Ligand Pharmaceuticals (LGND), trading at $103.47 with a potential upside of 39.71% to $144.56, offers an additional layer of positive sentiment towards VIOV. The pharmaceutical industry has seen strong candidates with consistent performance as of late, though investors should still evaluate if recent developments in the sector align with these targets.

Overall, the positive analyst sentiment towards these underlying holdings indicates optimism, but it is critical for investors to perform due diligence to determine whether these price targets are realistic or indicative of a potential future downturn in targets.
