1 of Wall Street's Favorite Stock Worth Your Attention and 2 We Brush Off

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.

Unlike the investment banks, we created StockStory to provide independent analysis that helps you determine which companies are truly worth following. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock where Wall Street’s positive outlook is supported by strong fundamentals and two where consensus estimates seem disconnected from reality.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Worthington (WOR)

Consensus Price Target: $67.20 (25.3% implied return)

Founded by a steel salesman, Worthington (NYSE:WOR) specializes in steel processing, pressure cylinders, and engineered cabs for commercial markets.

Why Should You Dump WOR?

1. Annual sales declines of 14.9% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
2. Earnings per share have contracted by 28.8% annually over the last two years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance
3. Shrinking returns on capital from an already weak position reveal that neither previous nor ongoing investments are yielding the desired results

Worthington is trading at $53.61 per share, or 14.2x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including WOR in your portfolio.

Trimble (TRMB)

Consensus Price Target: $99.75 (25% implied return)

Playing a role in the construction of the Paris Grand, Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) offers geospatial devices and technology to the agriculture, construction, transportation, and logistics industries.

Why Do We Steer Clear of TRMB?

1. Organic sales performance over the past two years indicates the company may need to make strategic adjustments or rely on M&A to catalyze faster growth
2. Free cash flow margin shrank by 12 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive
3. Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities, and its shrinking returns suggest its past profit sources are losing steam

Trimble’s stock price of $79.78 implies a valuation ratio of 23.7x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why TRMB doesn’t pass our bar.

One Stock to Buy:

JFrog (FROG)

Consensus Price Target: $72 (28.6% implied return)

Named after the amphibian that continuously evolves from egg to tadpole to adult, JFrog (NASDAQ:FROG) provides a platform that helps organizations securely create, store, manage, and distribute software packages across any system.

Why Will FROG Beat the Market?

1. Billings have averaged 22.9% growth over the last year, showing it’s securing new contracts that could potentially increase in value over time
2. User-friendly software enables clients to ramp up spending quickly, leading to the speedy recovery of customer acquisition costs
3. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends

At $56.01 per share, JFrog trades at 11.7x forward price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
