2 of Wall Street’s Favorite Stocks with Exciting Potential and 1 We Brush Off
Wall Street is overwhelmingly bullish on the stocks in this article, with price targets suggesting significant upside potential. However, it’s worth remembering that analysts rarely issue sell ratings, partly because their firms often seek other business from the same companies they cover.
Luckily for you, we at StockStory have no conflicts of interest - our sole job is to help you find genuinely promising companies. That said, here are two stocks where Wall Street’s excitement appears well-founded and one where its enthusiasm might be excessive.
One Stock to Sell:
Etsy (ETSY)
Consensus Price Target: $88.27 (19.1% implied return)
Founded by a struggling amateur furniture maker Robert Kalin and his two friends, Etsy (NYSE:ETSY) is one of the world’s largest online marketplaces, focusing on handmade or vintage items.
Why Is ETSY Not Exciting?
- Value proposition isn’t resonating strongly as its active buyers averaged 2.1% drops over the last two years
- Lackluster growth in its average revenue per buyer coupled with its weaker engagement trends led to sluggish demand over the last two years
- Earnings growth underperformed the sector average over the last three years as its EPS grew by just 1.4% annually
Etsy is trading at $74.12 per share, or 12.5x forward EV/EBITDA. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than ETSY.
Two Stocks to Watch:
TPG (TPG)
Consensus Price Target: $60.44 (28.8% implied return)
Founded in 1992 and managing over 300 active portfolio companies across more than 30 countries, TPG (NASDAQ:TPG) is a global alternative asset management firm that invests across private equity, credit, real estate, and public market strategies.
Why Does TPG Catch Our Eye?
- Annual revenue growth of 24.2% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
At $46.94 per share, TPG trades at 15x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
NerdWallet (NRDS)
Consensus Price Target: $11.80 (24% implied return)
Born from founder Tim Chen's frustration with the lack of transparent credit card information when helping his sister in 2009, NerdWallet (NASDAQ:NRDS) is a digital platform that provides financial guidance to help consumers and small businesses make smarter decisions about credit cards, loans, insurance, and other financial products.
Why Will NRDS Outperform?
- Annual revenue growth of 24.3% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
- Performance over the past two years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue
NerdWallet’s stock price of $9.52 implies a valuation ratio of 6x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
