2 of Wall Street's Favorite Stocks with Promising Prospects and 1 We Brush Off

The stocks in this article have caught Wall Street’s attention in a big way, with price targets implying returns above 20%. But investors should take these forecasts with a grain of salt because analysts typically say nice things about companies so their firms can win business in other product lines like M&A advisory.

At StockStory, we look beyond the headlines with our independent analysis to determine whether these bullish calls are justified. Keeping that in mind, here are two stocks likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations and one where analysts may be overlooking some important risks.

One Stock to Sell:

Sealed Air (SEE)

Consensus Price Target: $39.07 (22.6% implied return)

Founded in 1960, Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE: SEE) specializes in the development and production of protective and food packaging solutions, serving a variety of industries.

Why Do We Pass on SEE?

1. Declining unit sales over the past two years imply it may need to invest in improvements to get back on track
2. Performance over the past two years shows each sale was less profitable as its earnings per share dropped by 3.9% annually, worse than its revenue
3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

Sealed Air’s stock price of $31.86 implies a valuation ratio of 10.5x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why SEE doesn’t pass our bar.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Tecnoglass (TGLS)

Consensus Price Target: $94.75 (29.8% implied return)

The first-ever Colombian company to trade on the NASDAQ, Tecnoglass (NYSE:TGLS) is a manufacturer of architectural glass, windows, and aluminum products.

Why Does TGLS Stand Out?

1. Annual revenue growth of 20.3% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
2. Excellent operating margin of 27.3% highlights the efficiency of its business model, and its rise over the last five years was fueled by some leverage on its fixed costs
3. ROIC punches in at 28.9%, illustrating management’s expertise in identifying profitable investments, and its returns are growing as it capitalizes on even better market opportunities

At $73.02 per share, Tecnoglass trades at 16.3x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.

Dave (DAVE)

Consensus Price Target: $271.86 (30.7% implied return)

Named after the biblical David fighting financial Goliaths, Dave (NASDAQ:DAVE) is a digital financial services platform that helps Americans living paycheck to paycheck with cash advances, banking services, and tools to improve their financial health.

Why Should DAVE Be on Your Watchlist?

1. Impressive 35.3% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
2. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 82% outpaced its revenue gains

Dave is trading at $208 per share, or 22.1x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
