1 of Wall Street's Favorite Stock with Promising Prospects and 2 We Turn Down

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.

Luckily for you, we at StockStory have no conflicts of interest - our sole job is to help you find genuinely promising companies. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations and two where consensus estimates seem disconnected from reality.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH)

Consensus Price Target: $27.89 (29% implied return)

With amenities like a full go-kart race track built into its ships, Norwegian Cruise Line (NYSE:NCLH) is a premier global cruise company.

Why Should You Sell NCLH?

1. Number of passenger cruise days has disappointed over the past two years, indicating weak demand for its offerings
2. Cash burn makes us question whether it can achieve sustainable long-term growth
3. Short cash runway increases the probability of a capital raise that dilutes existing shareholders

At $21.62 per share, Norwegian Cruise Line trades at 8.1x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including NCLH in your portfolio.

UFP Technologies (UFPT)

Consensus Price Target: $329.50 (51.3% implied return)

With expertise dating back to 1963 in specialized materials and precision manufacturing, UFP Technologies (NASDAQ:UFPT) designs and manufactures custom solutions for medical devices, sterile packaging, and other highly engineered products for healthcare and industrial applications.

Why Do We Think Twice About UFPT?

1. Subscale operations are evident in its revenue base of $598 million, meaning it has fewer distribution channels than its larger rivals
2. Estimated sales growth of 4.6% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend

UFP Technologies is trading at $217.83 per share, or 21.7x forward P/E. If you’re considering UFPT for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

Impinj (PI)

Consensus Price Target: $241.11 (57.2% implied return)

Founded by Caltech professor Carver Mead and one of his students Chris Diorio, Impinj (NASDAQ:PI) is a maker of radio-frequency identification (RFID) hardware and software.

Why Should PI Be on Your Watchlist?

1. Annual revenue growth of 20.2% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
2. Incremental sales significantly boosted profitability as its annual earnings per share growth of 49.4% over the last five years outstripped its revenue performance
3. Free cash flow margin increased by 15.8 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders

Impinj’s stock price of $153.34 implies a valuation ratio of 55.3x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
