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. That said, here is one stock likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations and two where its enthusiasm might be excessive.
Two Stocks to Sell:
DocuSign (DOCU)
Consensus Price Target: $59.33 (39.3% implied return)
Creating the digital equivalent of "sign on the dotted line" for over a billion users worldwide, DocuSign (NASDAQ: DOCU) provides an agreement management platform that enables businesses to electronically prepare, sign, and manage documents and contracts.
Why Should You Sell DOCU?
- Average ARR growth of 8.5% over the last year has disappointed, suggesting it’s had a hard time winning long-term deals and renewals
- Extended payback periods on sales investments suggest the company’s platform isn’t resonating enough to drive efficient sales conversions
- Operating profits increased over the last year as the company gained some leverage on its fixed costs and became more efficient
DocuSign’s stock price of $42.60 implies a valuation ratio of 2.4x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with DOCU, check out our full research report (it’s free).
Ollie's (OLLI)
Consensus Price Target: $121.33 (65% implied return)
Often located in suburban or semi-rural shopping centers, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet (NASDAQ: OLLI) is a discount retailer that acquires excess inventory then sells at meaningful discounts.
Why Does OLLI Fall Short?
- Smaller revenue base of $2.73 billion means it hasn’t achieved the economies of scale that some industry juggernauts enjoy
- Operating margin was unchanged over the last year, suggesting it failed to gain leverage on its fixed costs
- Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities
At $73.55 per share, Ollie's trades at 16.7x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including OLLI in your portfolio.
One Stock to Watch:
Concentrix (CNXC)
Consensus Price Target: $41.25 (62.7% implied return)
With a team of approximately 450,000 employees across 75 countries, Concentrix (NASDAQ: CNXC) designs and delivers customer experience solutions that help global brands manage their customer interactions across digital channels and contact centers.
Why Are We Fans of CNXC?
- Annual revenue growth of 15.3% over the last five years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
- Economies of scale give it more fixed cost leverage than its smaller competitors
Concentrix is trading at $25.35 per share, or 2.1x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
