Wall Street has set ambitious price targets for the stocks in this article. While this suggests attractive upside potential, it’s important to remain skeptical because analysts face institutional pressures that can sometimes lead to overly optimistic forecasts.
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 its enthusiasm might be excessive.
One Stock to Sell:
Angi (ANGI)
Consensus Price Target: $9.50 (60.5% implied return)
Created by IAC’s mergers of Angie’s List and HomeAdvisor, ANGI (NASDAQ: ANGI) operates the largest online marketplace for home services in the US.
Why Are We Cautious About ANGI?
- Struggled with new customer acquisition as its service requests averaged 19.2% declines
- Sales are expected to decline once again over the next 12 months as it continues working through a challenging demand environment
- Excessive marketing spend signals little organic demand and traction for its platform
Angi’s stock price of $5.92 implies a valuation ratio of 4.6x forward EV/EBITDA. If you’re considering ANGI for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
Two Stocks to Watch:
Carvana (CVNA)
Consensus Price Target: $92.90 (41% implied return)
Known for its glass tower car vending machines, Carvana (NYSE: CVNA) provides a convenient automotive shopping experience by offering an online platform for buying and selling used cars.
Why Do We Watch CVNA?

- Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 40.3% over the last three years outstripped its revenue performance
- Free cash flow margin increased by 12.1 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders
At $65.90 per share, Carvana trades at 16.4x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
