Wall Street’s bearish price targets for the stocks in this article signal serious concerns. Such forecasts are uncommon in an industry where maintaining cordial corporate relationships often trumps delivering the hard truth.

Accurately determining a company’s long-term prospects isn’t easy, especially when sentiment is weak. That’s where StockStory comes in - to help you find attractive investment candidates backed by unbiased research. That said, here are three stocks where the outlook is warranted and some alternatives with better fundamentals.

Dropbox (DBX)

Consensus Price Target: $26.17 (-9.5% implied return)

Originally named after the founders' tendency to "drop" files into a shared folder, Dropbox (NASDAQ: DBX) provides a content collaboration platform that helps individuals and teams store, organize, share, and work on files from anywhere.

Why Do We Avoid DBX?

1. Billings didn’t grow over the last year, suggesting the company struggled to sell its software and might have to lower prices to stimulate growth
2. Sales are projected to be flat over the next 12 months and imply weak demand
3. Efficiency rose over the last year as its Operating margin increased by 6.1 percentage points

Dropbox is trading at $28.91 per share, or 2.7x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with DBX, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Mohawk Industries (MHK)

Consensus Price Target: $120.47 (0.3% implied return)

Established in 1878, Mohawk Industries (NYSE: MHK) is a leading producer of floor-covering products for both residential and commercial applications.

Why Is MHK Risky?

1. Scale is a double-edged sword because it limits the company’s growth potential compared to its smaller competitors, as reflected in its below-average annual revenue increases of 2% for the last five years
2. Capital intensity will likely increase as its free cash flow margin is anticipated to drop by 2 percentage points over the next year
3. Returns on capital haven’t budged, indicating management couldn’t drive additional value creation

At $120.10 per share, Mohawk Industries trades at 13.9x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than MHK.

AMN Healthcare Services (AMN)

Consensus Price Target: $28.14 (-18.8% implied return)

With a network of thousands of healthcare professionals ranging from nurses to physicians to executives, AMN Healthcare (NYSE: AMN) provides healthcare workforce solutions including temporary staffing, permanent placement, and technology platforms for hospitals and healthcare facilities across the United States.

Why Do We Steer Clear of AMN?

1. Declining travelers on assignment over the past two years indicate demand is soft and that the company may need to revise its strategy
2. Earnings per share have dipped by 7.1% annually over the past five years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term
3. Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

AMN Healthcare Services’s stock price of $34.65 implies a valuation ratio of 41.3x forward P/E. If you’re considering AMN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
