2 of Wall Street’s Favorite Stocks to Keep an Eye On and 1 Facing Challenges
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.
Luckily for you, we at StockStory have no conflicts of interest - our sole job is to help you find genuinely promising companies. Keeping that in mind, here are two stocks where Wall Street’s positive outlook is supported by strong fundamentals and one where its enthusiasm might be excessive.
One Stock to Sell:
Brunswick (BC)
Consensus Price Target: $91.63 (39.6% implied return)
Formerly known as Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company, Brunswick (NYSE: BC) is a designer and manufacturer of recreational marine products, including boats, engines, and marine parts.
Why Are We Out on BC?
- Flat sales over the last five years suggest it must innovate and find new ways to grow
- Low free cash flow margin of 8% for the last two years gives it little breathing room, constraining its ability to self-fund growth or return capital to shareholders
- Shrinking returns on capital from an already weak position reveal that neither previous nor ongoing investments are yielding the desired results
At $65.62 per share, Brunswick trades at 12.8x forward P/E. If you’re considering BC for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
Two Stocks to Watch:
First Solar (FSLR)
Consensus Price Target: $274.77 (53.7% implied return)
Headquartered in Arizona, First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) specializes in manufacturing solar panels and providing photovoltaic solar energy solutions.
Why Should You Buy FSLR?
- Annual revenue growth of 19.5% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
- Free cash flow flipped to positive over the last five years, showing the company is at an important crossroads
- Returns on capital are growing as management capitalizes on its market opportunities
First Solar’s stock price of $178.78 implies a valuation ratio of 8.5x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Consensus Price Target: $78.94 (27.5% implied return)

Why Do We Like BTSG?
- Annual revenue growth of 23.9% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle

- Forecasted revenue growth of 14.1% for the next 12 months indicates its momentum over the last two years is sustainable
