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 likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations and one where consensus estimates seem disconnected from reality.
One Stock to Sell:
Entegris (ENTG)
Consensus Price Target: $160.60 (32.6% implied return)
With fabs representing the company’s largest customer type, Entegris (NASDAQ: ENTG) supplies products that purify, protect, and generally ensure the integrity of raw materials needed for advanced semiconductor manufacturing.
Why Are We Wary of ENTG?
- Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 2.1% annually over the last two years
- Projected sales growth of 10.2% for the next 12 months suggests sluggish demand
- Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital
At $121.15 per share, Entegris trades at 36.5x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than ENTG.
Two Stocks to Watch:
Uber (UBER)
Consensus Price Target: $104.43 (48.2% implied return)
Notoriously funded with $7.7 billion from the Softbank Vision Fund, Uber (NYSE: UBER) operates a platform of on-demand services such as ride-hailing, food delivery, and freight.
Why Are We Positive on UBER?
- Monthly Active Platform Consumers have increased by an average of 15.4% annually, giving it the potential for margin-accretive growth if it can develop valuable complementary products and features
- Incremental sales over the last three years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 60.8% annually, topping its revenue gains
- Free cash flow margin grew by 15.3 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more chips to play with
Uber’s stock price of $70.45 implies a valuation ratio of 13.1x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
VSE Corporation (VSEC)
Consensus Price Target: $252.88 (36.1% implied return)
With roots dating back to 1959 and a strategic focus on extending the life of transportation assets, VSE Corporation (NASDAQ: VSEC) provides aftermarket parts distribution and maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for aircraft and vehicle fleets in commercial and government markets.
Why Could VSEC Be a Winner?
- Impressive 13.7% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
- Market share is on track to rise over the next 12 months as its 66.4% projected revenue growth implies demand will accelerate from its two-year trend
- Operating margin expanded by 5.1 percentage points over the last five years as it scaled and became more efficient
VSE Corporation is trading at $185.76 per share, or 40.8x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
