1 of Wall Street's Favorite Stock to Target This Week and 2 That Underwhelm

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.

Unlike the investment banks, we created StockStory to provide independent analysis that helps you determine which companies are truly worth following. That said, 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:

Vontier (VNT)

Consensus Price Target: $46.90 (35.2% implied return)

A spin-off of a spin-off, Vontier (NYSE:VNT) provides electronic products and systems to the transportation, automotive, and manufacturing sectors.

Why Are We Out on VNT?

1. Core business is underperforming as its organic revenue has disappointed over the past two years, suggesting it might need acquisitions to stimulate growth
2. Sales are projected to be flat over the next 12 months and imply weak demand
3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Vontier is trading at $34.70 per share, or 10.4x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than VNT.

Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH)

Consensus Price Target: $101.50 (25.3% implied return)

With roots dating back to 1914 and deep ties to nearly all U.S. cabinet-level departments, Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE:BAH) provides management consulting, technology services, and cybersecurity solutions primarily to U.S. government agencies and military branches.

Why Do We Think Twice About BAH?

1. Forecasted revenue decline of 3.4% for the upcoming 12 months implies demand will fall off a cliff

Booz Allen Hamilton’s stock price of $80.98 implies a valuation ratio of 14.8x forward P/E. If you’re considering BAH for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

Dynatrace (DT)

Consensus Price Target: $61.39 (32.4% implied return)

With its platform processing over 30 trillion pieces of IT performance data daily, Dynatrace (NYSE:DT) provides an AI-powered platform that helps organizations monitor, secure, and optimize their applications and IT infrastructure across cloud environments.

Why Do We Like DT?

1. Impressive 19.5% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share
2. Software is difficult to replicate at scale and leads to a premier gross margin of 81.8%
3. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends

At $46.36 per share, Dynatrace trades at 6.5x forward price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
