OKTA Cover Image

The stocks in this article are all trading near their 52-week highs. This strength often reflects positive developments such as new product launches, favorable industry trends, or improved financial performance.

But not every company with momentum is a long-term winner, and plenty of investors have lost money betting on short-term fads. On that note, here are three stocks getting more buzz than they deserve and some you should buy instead.

Okta (OKTA)

One-Month Return: +62.6%

Named after the meteorological measurement for cloud cover, Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA) provides cloud-based identity management solutions that help organizations securely connect their employees, partners, and customers to the right applications and services.

Why Does OKTA Fall Short?

Average billings growth of 10.8% over the last year was subpar, suggesting it struggled to push its software and might have to lower prices to stimulate demand
Estimated sales growth of 9.1% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
Operating margin improvement of 5.1 percentage points over the last year demonstrates its ability to scale efficiently

Okta’s stock price of $123.24 implies a valuation ratio of 5.2x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with OKTA, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Live Nation (LYV)

One-Month Return: +6.7%

Owner of Ticketmaster and operator of music festival EDC, Live Nation (NYSE: LYV) is a company specializing in live event promotion, venue management, and ticketing services for concerts and shows.

Why Do We Steer Clear of LYV?

Large revenue base makes it harder to increase sales quickly, and its annual revenue growth of 4.6% over the last two years was below our standards for the consumer discretionary sector
Poor expense management has led to an operating margin of 3.6% that is below the industry average
Capital intensity will likely increase as its free cash flow margin is anticipated to drop by 1.5 percentage points over the next year

At $168.81 per share, Live Nation trades at 126.7x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including LYV in your portfolio.

L.B. Foster (FSTR)

One-Month Return: +34%

Founded with a $2,500 loan, L.B. Foster (NASDAQ: FSTR) is a provider of products and services for the transportation and energy infrastructure sectors, including rail products, construction materials, and coating solutions.

Why Are We Wary of FSTR?

New orders were hard to come by as its average backlog growth of 1.7% over the past two years underwhelmed
Estimated sales decline of 2.3% for the next 12 months implies an even more challenging demand environment
Underwhelming 3.8% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities

L.B. Foster is trading at $41.14 per share, or 0.8x trailing 12-month price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why FSTR doesn’t pass our bar.
