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.
At StockStory, we look beyond the headlines with our independent analysis to determine whether these bullish calls are justified. Keeping that in mind, here are two stocks likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations and one where its enthusiasm might be excessive.
One Stock to Sell:

Consensus Price Target: $60.80 (34% implied return)
A leading supplier of parts for electronics such as home appliances, Power Integrations (NASDAQ: POWI) is a semiconductor designer and developer specializing in products used for high-voltage power conversion.
Why Is POWI Risky?

- Expenses have increased as a percentage of revenue over the last five years as its operating margin fell by 15.7 percentage points
- Sales over the last five years were less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 2.1% annually while its revenue was flat
