1 of Wall Street’s Favorite Stocks to Own for Decades and 2 We Ignore
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.
At StockStory, we look beyond the headlines with our independent analysis to determine whether these bullish calls are justified. That said, here is one stock likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations and two where analysts may be overlooking some important risks.
Two Stocks to Sell:
Tennant (TNC)
Consensus Price Target: $87.75 (30.3% implied return)
As the world’s largest manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots, Tennant (NYSE:TNC) designs, manufactures, and sells cleaning products to various sectors.
Why Do We Avoid TNC?
- Sales tumbled by 1.7% annually over the last two years, showing market trends are working against it during this cycle
- Earnings per share have contracted by 2.1% annually over the last five years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance
- Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging
At $67.33 per share, Tennant trades at 13.5x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including TNC in your portfolio.
Weatherford (WFRD)
Consensus Price Target: $117.42 (43.1% implied return)
Operating in roughly 75 countries with over 300 facilities worldwide, Weatherford (NASDAQ:WFRD) provides equipment and services for drilling, completing, and maintaining oil and gas wells.
Why Do We Think Twice About WFRD?
- Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 4.1% annually over the last ten years
- Gross margin of 31.9% is below its competitors, leaving less money to invest in exploration and production
Weatherford is trading at $82.03 per share, or 13.7x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than WFRD.
One Stock to Buy:
Remitly (RELY)
Consensus Price Target: $32.33 (45.2% implied return)
With Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as an early investor, Remitly (NASDAQ:RELY) is an online platform that enables consumers to safely and quickly send money globally.
Why Will RELY Outperform?
- Active Customers are rising, meaning the company can increase revenue without incurring additional customer acquisition costs if it can cross-sell additional products and features
- Performance over the past three years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 163% outpaced its revenue gains
- Free cash flow margin jumped by 43.1 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends
Remitly’s stock price of $22.27 implies a valuation ratio of 9.2x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
