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. That said, here are three stocks likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations.
Micron (MU)
Consensus Price Target: $149.04 (35.2% implied return)
Founded in the basement of a Boise, Idaho dental office in 1978, Micron (NYSE: MU) is a leading provider of memory chips used in thousands of devices across mobile, data centers, industrial, consumer, and automotive markets.
Why Are We Positive On MU?
- Impressive 36.4% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
- Revenue outlook for the upcoming 12 months is outstanding and shows it’s on track to gain market share
- Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were more profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 22.8% outpaced its revenue gains
Micron’s stock price of $110.20 implies a valuation ratio of 11x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
Herc (HRI)
Consensus Price Target: $180.18 (28.5% implied return)
Formerly a subsidiary of Hertz Corporation and with a logo that still bears some similarities to its former parent, Herc Holdings (NYSE: HRI) provides equipment rental and related services to a wide range of industries.
Why Does HRI Stand Out?
- Impressive 13.1% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
- Highly efficient business model is illustrated by its impressive 18.5% operating margin, and its profits increased over the last five years as it scaled
- Performance over the past five years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue
Herc is trading at $140.25 per share, or 10.9x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
FTAI Aviation (FTAI)
Consensus Price Target: $167.26 (50.4% implied return)
With a focus on the CFM56 engine that powers Boeing and Airbus’s planes, FTAI Aviation (NASDAQ: FTAI) sells, leases, maintains, and repairs aircraft engines.
Why Will FTAI Beat the Market?
- Market share has increased this cycle as its 44.9% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
- Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 73.8% outpaced its revenue gains
- Cash-burning tendencies have improved over the last five years, showing it could become financially independent one day
At $111.20 per share, FTAI Aviation trades at 19.5x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
