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 is one stock where Wall Street’s positive outlook is supported by strong fundamentals and two where its enthusiasm might be excessive.
Two Stocks to Sell:
Getty Images (GETY)
Consensus Price Target: $4.43 (126% implied return)
With a vast library of over 562 million visual assets documenting everything from breaking news to iconic historical moments, Getty Images (NYSE: GETY) is a global visual content marketplace that licenses photos, videos, illustrations, and music to businesses, media outlets, and creative professionals.
Why Do We Think GETY Will Underperform?
- 1.3% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its business services peers
- Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last five years, causing its adjusted operating margin to decline by 3.9 percentage points
- Free cash flow margin dropped by 12.1 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up
Getty Images’s stock price of $1.96 implies a valuation ratio of 2.8x forward EV-to-EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with GETY, check out our full research report (it’s free).
Alamo (ALG)
Consensus Price Target: $244.25 (26.8% implied return)
Expanding its markets through acquisitions since its founding, Alamo (NSYE:ALG) designs, manufactures, and services vegetation management and infrastructure maintenance equipment for governmental, industrial, and agricultural use.
Why Does ALG Fall Short?
- Products and services are facing end-market challenges during this cycle, as seen in its flat sales over the last two years
- Projected sales growth of 5.1% for the next 12 months suggests sluggish demand
- Falling earnings per share over the last two years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term
At $192.62 per share, Alamo trades at 16.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering ALG for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
One Stock to Watch:

Founded in 2013 as a champion for content creator rights and free expression, Rumble (NASDAQ: RUM) is a video sharing platform that positions itself as a free speech alternative to mainstream platforms, offering creators more favorable revenue-sharing opportunities.
Why Could RUM Be a Winner?
- Annual revenue growth of 19% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
- Sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months implies the business will stay on its desirable two-year growth trajectory
Rumble is trading at $7.15 per share, or 17.8x trailing 12-month price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
