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 is one stock where Wall Street’s excitement appears well-founded and two where consensus estimates seem disconnected from reality.
Two Stocks to Sell:
Stratasys (SSYS)
Consensus Price Target: $12.33 (51.8% implied return)
Born from the Founder’s idea of making a toy frog with a glue gun, Stratasys (NASDAQ:SSYS) offers 3D printers and related materials, software, and services to many industries.
Why Are We Wary of SSYS?
- Annual sales declines of 6.2% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
- Suboptimal cost structure is highlighted by its history of operating margin losses
- Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth
At $8.13 per share, Stratasys trades at 61.8x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including SSYS in your portfolio.
HNI (HNI)
Consensus Price Target: $69 (65.3% implied return)
With roots dating back to 1944 and a significant acquisition of Kimball International in 2023, HNI (NYSE:HNI) manufactures and sells office furniture systems, seating, and storage solutions, as well as residential fireplaces and heating products.
Why Are We Hesitant About HNI?
- Incremental sales over the last two years were less profitable as its 9.3% annual earnings per share growth lagged its revenue gains
- Low free cash flow margin of 3.6% for the last five years gives it little breathing room, constraining its ability to self-fund growth or return capital to shareholders
- 6× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio shows it’s overleveraged and increases the probability of shareholder dilution if things turn unexpectedly
HNI’s stock price of $41.73 implies a valuation ratio of 9.6x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than HNI.
One Stock to Buy:
Micron (MU)
Consensus Price Target: $1,492 (76.8% implied return)
Founded in the basement of a Boise, Idaho dental office in 1978, Micron (NASDAQ:MU) is a leading provider of memory chips used in thousands of devices across mobile, data centers, industrial, consumer, and automotive markets.
Why Are We Bullish on MU?
- Annual revenue growth of 106% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
- Additional sales over the last five years increased its profitability as the 57.1% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
- Free cash flow margin increased by 14.1 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders
Micron is trading at $843.95 per share, or 5.9x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
