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. Keeping that in mind, here are two stocks where Wall Street’s excitement appears well-founded and one where consensus estimates seem disconnected from reality.
One Stock to Sell:
Genesis Energy (GEL)
Consensus Price Target: $19.33 (24.7% implied return)
Operating a 64% stake in the Poseidon Pipeline, one of the Gulf of Mexico's largest crude oil pipelines, Genesis Energy (NYSE: GEL) provides midstream services like pipeline transportation, storage, and processing for crude oil and natural gas producers and refiners.
Why Should You Sell GEL?
- Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 1.5% annually over the last five years
- Gross margin of 25.3% reflects its high production costs and unfavorable asset base
- High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 6× increases the risk of forced asset sales or dilutive financing if operational performance weakens
Genesis Energy is trading at $15.50 per share, or 1.1x forward price-to-sales. If you’re considering GEL for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
Two Stocks to Watch:
Atlassian (TEAM)
Consensus Price Target: $143.18 (25.9% implied return)
Started by two Australian university friends who funded their startup with credit cards, Atlassian (NASDAQ: TEAM) provides software tools that help teams plan, track, collaborate, and share knowledge across organizations.
Why Will TEAM Outperform?
- Prominent and differentiated software leads to a top-tier gross margin of 84.8%
- Software platform has product-market fit given the rapid recovery of its customer acquisition costs
- Free cash flow margin is forecasted to grow by 8.8 percentage points in the coming year, potentially giving the company more chips to play with
At $113.69 per share, Atlassian trades at 3.9x forward price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
Chipotle (CMG)
Consensus Price Target: $43.33 (41.9% implied return)
Born from a desire to offer quick meals with fresh, flavorful ingredients, Chipotle (NYSE: CMG) is a fast-food chain known for its healthy, Mexican-inspired cuisine and customizable dishes.
Why Do We Watch CMG?
- Rapid rollout of new restaurants to capitalize on market opportunities makes sense given its strong same-store sales performance
- Massive revenue base of $12.14 billion makes it a household name that influences purchasing decisions
- Industry-leading 19.4% return on capital demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments, and its rising returns show it’s making even more lucrative bets
Chipotle’s stock price of $30.55 implies a valuation ratio of 26.7x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
