Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the Goldman Sachs MarketBeta US 1000 Equity ETF (Symbol: GUSA), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $59.52 per unit.
With GUSA trading at a recent price near $49.99 per unit, that means that analysts see 19.07% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of GUSA's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are BridgeBio Pharma Inc (Symbol: BBIO), Moog Inc (Symbol: MOG.A), and Klaviyo Inc (Symbol: KVYO). Although BBIO has traded at a recent price of $33.54/share, the average analyst target is 58.62% higher at $53.20/share. Similarly, MOG.A has 40.45% upside from the recent share price of $162.33 if the average analyst target price of $228.00/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting KVYO to reach a target price of $51.47/share, which is 36.42% above the recent price of $37.73. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of BBIO, MOG.A, and KVYO:

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.

Sum Up The Parts: GUSA Could Be Worth $60

Wednesday, February 19, 2025
Market indexes fought back and closed in the green for today’s trading session — all but the small-cap Russell 2000, which also improved but didn’t quite make it into positive territory. The S&P 500 set its second-straight record closing high, at 6144, but ultimately today’s gains were modest.
The Dow closed up +71 points, or +0.16% on the day. The S&P 500 grew +14 points, +0.24%. The Nasdaq added almost +15 points, +0.075%, while the Russell 2000 was -7.9 points for the session, -0.34%. Bond yields once again appear range-bound, with the 10-year around +4.53% and the 2-year +4.27%.
Fed Minutes Offer No Surprises
As we’d expected, the minutes of the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting from last month was a firm attitude that inflation metrics will have to once again start coming down before new rate cuts will be considered. The unanimous decision to keep the Fed funds rate between a range of +4.25-4.50%. The FOMC had cut three times in a row between September and December of last year, taking the rate down 100 basis points (bps) in the process. The next Fed meeting concludes a month from today.
Q4 Earnings Roundup: CVNA, TOST, KVYO
Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)-rated Carvana CVNA far outpaced expectations on both top and bottom lines in its Q4 report out after today’s closing bell, with earnings more than doubling estimates to 56 cents per share from 24 cents in the Zacks consensus (and in a completely new orbit from the -$1.00 loss per share in the year-ago quarter). Revenues came in at $3.55 billion, well beyond the $3.33 billion anticipated.
This all said, it appears we have a “sell the news” situation: shares are trading -10% in the after-market, shaving off a good portion of the +328% gains the stock has made year to date, and +440% over the past year. Carvana revenues actually came down quarter over quarter, but had adjusted EBITDA margin growth of +10.1%.
Check out the updated Zacks Earnings Calendar here.
A day after a report that point-of-sale service provider Toast TOST won a 500-restaurant deal with Huddle House and Perkins parent Ascent Hospitality, Q4 earnings came in slightly mixed this afternoon: earnings of $0.05 per share missed estimates by a penny, on quarterly sales of $1.34 billion, which outperformed the $1.31 billion in the Zacks consensus. Shares had initially zoomed up +10% on the news, but have now come back down near today’s closing level.
Marketing automation platform Klaviyo KVYO is one company whose shares went up on its Q4 report after today’s close and stayed there: +7% as of now. This adds to the nearly +14% the stock has gained year to date. Earnings beat by a penny to 7 cents per share, and sales in the quarter strongly outpaced expectations, to $270 million from $257.3 million projected. Big upward moves in revenue guidance for both next quarter and the full fiscal year are helping keep interest in the shares very healthy.

Insider Sale: Chief Financial Officer of $KVYO (KVYO) Sells 15,000 Shares

When billionaire Warren Buffett took over at Berkshire Hathaway decades ago, it was a dying textile business. It was profitable, but the profits were quickly deployed to fix and upgrade equipment, leaving little for shareholders at the end of the day.
Recognizing the dire situation, Buffett made a hard decision: He let the textile business slowly die and invested in high-quality business with all of the profits that the textile business produced in the meantime.
When possible, Buffett prefers to purchase a high-quality business outright. And Berkshire owns many well-known companies, such as GEICO, Clayton Homes, Fruit of the Loom, Dairy Queen, and more. But sometimes, it can't buy an entire company, and in that case, it invests in stocks.
Berkshire Hathaway has a stock portfolio that's worth roughly $300 billion. Among its holdings are no-brainer investments, such as Amazon, and even new positions, such as Pool Corp and Domino's Pizza.
It may seem strange for a publicly traded company such as Berkshire Hathaway to invest in other publicly traded and privately held companies, but it's a great use of cash when done right and shareholders benefit. Had Buffett stuck with textiles, Berkshire very likely would have gone out of business. But today, it's one of the few companies that's worth over $1 trillion.
I don't know if any investing track record can stand toe to toe with Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway -- their story is extraordinary. But Berkshire isn't the only publicly traded company that owns positions in other companies. Shopify (NYSE: SHOP), eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) are three tech companies that have portfolios of their own, as well.
1. Shopify
As of September, e-commerce software company Shopify had investments in three publicly traded companies: Global-e Online (NASDAQ: GLBE), Affirm Holdings, and Klaviyo. These investments are worth roughly $2.3 billion.
Berkshire Hathaway invests solely when it believes it's a good opportunity. By comparison, Shopify invests more when a company has value as a strategic partnership. That's certainly the case with Global-e. This smaller company helps businesses sell directly to their customers across international boundaries.
Shopify features Global-e's software for its millions of merchant customers, giving them options to grow their businesses internationally. Since Global-e is a smaller company, this benefit can't be understated -- it's gained a lot of new business from Shopify. By owning Global-e stock, Shopify can benefit from the upside, as well.
Global-e is still a relatively small company that could have a decade or more of growth ahead of it. If that happens, it will benefit Shopify shareholders, as well, thanks to the company's investment.
2. eBay
It's not in the limelight as much these days, but with 133 million active customers and having processed more than $70 billion in trailing-12-month merchandise volume, eBay is still one of the largest e-commerce platforms in the world. That said, it's not a high-growth business anymore, with revenue only up 3% year over year in the third quarter of 2024. And this has caused management to branch out, looking for ways to advance its business.
In 2020, eBay decided to move on from its classifieds business, selling it to Adevinta. In return, it got a mixture of cash and shares of Adevinta. Over time, eBay has reduced its stake, unlocking cash that it's used to repurchase its shares.
Over the last five years, eBay stock is up about 75% in spite of tepid growth. A large part of this is attributable to reducing its share count by nearly 40% and nearly doubling its dividend. The company likely couldn't have done this without its investment portfolio.
EBAY Average Diluted Shares Outstanding (Quarterly) data by YCharts.
In addition to the $1.9 billion investment it still has in Adevinta, eBay also has a position in Adyen, valued at $500 million. After spinning off PayPal, eBay moved to make Adyen its primary payments partner, which was a boost to Adyen. Just like Shopify participating in the upside with Global-e, eBay participates in Adyen's upside through its investment.
3. Nvidia
Finally, Nvidia has a portfolio of six stocks that's worth less than $500 million. Considering the company's own market capitalization is more than $3.4 trillion as of this writing, it's unlikely that any stock in the portfolio will go up enough to move the needle for Nvidia's shareholders. That said, the company has invested in some interesting players in the artificial-intelligence (AI) space, including Recursion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RXRX).
While it likely won't move the needle for Nvidia's shareholders, Recursion could have the highest upside of all the stocks mentioned here. The company seeks to harness the power of AI to test drugs synthetically. This cuts down on the time and money in the research process and could possibly bring new drugs to market that would otherwise be cost ineffective.
That said, Recursion could also have the greatest downside. As of this writing, the company hasn't gotten any drugs past the finish line, meaning that its revenue is meager and its losses are great. At its current rate of cash burn, Recursion has about two years of runway. If it can't get a drug approved and reverse its cash outflow, it could be hard for shareholders.
Recursion stock is risky for this reason, but investors still might want to join Nvidia in owning shares. With advancements in AI, it's hard to imagine a future where AI doesn't play an important role, putting Recursion on the right side of trends. And in a diversified portfolio, it can make sense to have a few small investments in more speculative companies such as this.
Don’t miss this second chance at a potentially lucrative opportunity
Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you’ll want to hear this.
On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a “Double Down” stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you’re worried you’ve already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it’s too late. And the numbers speak for themselves:
Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you’d have $359,445!*
Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you’d have $45,374!*
Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you’d have $484,143!*
Right now, we’re issuing “Double Down” alerts for three incredible companies, and there may not be another chance like this anytime soon.

Mohanram turned that research on its head by developing a growth model that produced significant market outperformance.
