Wall Street’s bearish price targets for the stocks in this article signal serious concerns. Such forecasts are uncommon in an industry where maintaining cordial corporate relationships often trumps delivering the hard truth.
At StockStory, we look beyond the headlines with our independent analysis to determine whether these bearish calls are justified. That said, here is one stock where you should be greedy instead of fearful and two facing legitimate challenges.
Two Stocks to Sell:
Lindblad Expeditions (LIND)
Consensus Price Target: $36.60 (7.3% implied return)
Founded by explorer Sven-Olof Lindblad in 1979, Lindblad Expeditions (NASDAQ: LIND) offers cruising experiences to remote destinations in partnership with National Geographic.
Why Do We Avoid LIND?
- 18.5% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its consumer discretionary peers
- Responsiveness to unforeseen market trends is restricted due to its substandard operating margin profitability
- Capital intensity will likely increase as its free cash flow margin is anticipated to drop by 4 percentage points over the next year
Lindblad Expeditions is trading at $34.11 per share, or 95.8x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including LIND in your portfolio.
Landstar (LSTR)
Consensus Price Target: $196.13 (9.3% implied return)
Covering billions of miles throughout North America, Landstar (NASDAQ: LSTR) is a transportation company specializing in freight and last-mile delivery services.
Why Is LSTR Risky?
- Sales stagnated over the last five years and signal the need for new growth strategies
- Performance over the past five years shows each sale was less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 10.7% annually
- Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up
Landstar’s stock price of $179.42 implies a valuation ratio of 26.5x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than LSTR.
One Stock to Watch:
Zebra (ZBRA)
Consensus Price Target: $386.25 (4.1% implied return)
Taking its name from the black and white stripes of barcodes, Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ: ZBRA) provides barcode scanners, mobile computers, RFID systems, and other data capture technologies that help businesses track assets and optimize operations.
Why Are We Positive on ZBRA?
- Core business can prosper without any help from acquisitions as its organic revenue growth averaged 13.8% over the past two years
- Performance over the past two years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue
- Free cash flow margin grew by 4.8 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with
At $370.98 per share, Zebra trades at 17.8x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
