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.
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 where Wall Street’s excitement appears well-founded and two where its enthusiasm might be excessive.
Two Stocks to Sell:
LiveRamp (RAMP)
Consensus Price Target: $37 (47.3% implied return)
Serving as the digital middleman in an increasingly privacy-conscious world, LiveRamp (NYSE:RAMP) provides technology that helps companies securely share and connect their customer data with trusted partners while maintaining privacy compliance.
Why Are We Cautious About RAMP?
- Customers were hesitant to make long-term commitments to its software as its 6.8% average ARR growth over the last year was sluggish
- Customers generally do not adopt complementary products as its 104% net revenue retention rate lags behind the industry standard
- Estimated sales growth of 9% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
LiveRamp’s stock price of $25.13 implies a valuation ratio of 1.8x forward price-to-sales. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including RAMP in your portfolio.
AMC Entertainment (AMC)
Consensus Price Target: $2.01 (60.2% implied return)
With a profile that was raised due to meme stock mania beginning in 2021, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) operates movie theaters primarily in the US and Europe.
Why Do We Steer Clear of AMC?
- Muted 14% annual revenue growth over the last five years shows its demand lagged behind its consumer discretionary peers
- Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model
- Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution
AMC Entertainment is trading at $1.26 per share, or 17.5x forward EV-to-EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with AMC, check out our full research report (it’s free).
One Stock to Buy:
Magnite (MGNI)
Consensus Price Target: $26.57 (122% implied return)
Born from the 2020 merger of Rubicon Project and Telaria, Magnite (NASDAQ:MGNI) operates the world's largest independent sell-side advertising platform that automates the buying and selling of digital advertising inventory across all channels and formats.
Why Do We Love MGNI?
- Annual revenue growth of 30.2% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
- Strong free cash flow margin of 24.8% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently, and its improved cash conversion implies it’s becoming a less capital-intensive business
- Rising returns on capital show the company is starting to reap the benefits of its past investments
At $11.98 per share, Magnite trades at 11.8x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
