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.
At StockStory, we look beyond the headlines with our independent analysis to determine whether these bullish calls are justified. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock where Wall Street’s positive outlook is supported by strong fundamentals and two where its enthusiasm might be excessive.
Two stocks to sell:
fuboTV (FUBO)
Consensus price target: $17 (124% implied return)
Originally launched as a soccer streaming platform, fuboTV (NYSE: FUBO) is a video streaming service specializing in live sports, news, and entertainment content.
Why Are We Hesitant About FUBO?
- Historical operating margin losses point to an inefficient cost structure
- Negative free cash flow raises questions about the return timeline for its investments
fuboTV’s stock price of $7.65 implies a valuation ratio of 36.1x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including FUBO in your portfolio.
Itron (ITRI)
Consensus price target: $128.56 (29.3% implied return)
Founded by a small group of engineers who wanted to build a more efficient way to read utility meters, Itron (NASDAQ: ITRI) offers energy and water management products for the utility industry, municipalities, and industrial customers.
Why Are We Cautious About ITRI?
- Annual sales declines of 1.8% for the past two years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
- Subpar operating margin of 7.5% constrains its ability to invest in process improvements or effectively respond to new competitive threats
- Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities
At $99.44 per share, Itron trades at 14.9x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ITRI doesn’t pass our bar.
One stock to buy:
Snap (SNAP)
Consensus price target: $7.44 (45.1% implied return)
Founded by Stanford University students Evan Spiegel, Reggie Brown, and Bobby Murphy, and originally called Picaboo, Snapchat (NYSE: SNAP) is an image centric social media network.
What Makes SNAP Stand Out?
- EBITDA margin expanded by 13.4 percentage points over the last few years as it scaled and became more efficient
- Additional sales over the last three years increased its profitability as the 58.5% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
- Free cash flow margin jumped by 11.8 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends
Snap is trading at $5.13 per share, or 7.4x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
