Wall Street’s bearish price targets for the stocks in this article signal serious concerns. Such forecasts are uncommon in an industry where maintaining cordial corporate relationships often trumps delivering the hard truth.

Accurately determining a company’s long-term prospects isn’t easy, especially when sentiment is weak. That’s where StockStory comes in - to help you find attractive investment candidates backed by unbiased research. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock poised to prove Wall Street wrong and two where the outlook is warranted.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Nike (NKE)

Consensus Price Target: $78.12 (0.8% implied return)

Originally selling Japanese Onitsuka Tiger sneakers as Blue Ribbon Sports, Nike (NYSE: NKE) is a global titan in athletic footwear, apparel, equipment, and accessories.

Why Are We Out on NKE?

1. Constant currency growth was below our standards over the past two years, suggesting it might need to invest in product improvements to get back on track
2. Sales are expected to decline once again over the next 12 months as it continues working through a challenging demand environment
3. Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

Nike is trading at $77.50 per share, or 45.2x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including NKE in your portfolio.

TD SYNNEX (SNX)

Consensus Price Target: $154.82 (4.9% implied return)

Serving as the crucial middleman in the technology supply chain, TD SYNNEX (NYSE: SNX) is a global technology distributor that connects thousands of IT manufacturers with resellers, helping businesses access hardware, software, and technology solutions.

Why Does SNX Give Us Pause?

1. Sales were flat over the last two years, indicating it’s failed to expand this cycle
2. Incremental sales over the last five years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 1.5% annually while its revenue grew
3. Poor free cash flow margin of 1.2% for the last five years limits its freedom to invest in growth initiatives, execute share buybacks, or pay dividends

TD SYNNEX’s stock price of $147.53 implies a valuation ratio of 11.8x forward P/E. If you’re considering SNX for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

BancFirst (BANF)

Consensus Price Target: $132.67 (6.1% implied return)

Operating as a "super community bank" with a decentralized management approach that emphasizes local responsiveness, BancFirst Corporation (NASDAQ: BANF) operates as a financial holding company providing commercial banking services to retail customers and small to medium-sized businesses primarily in Oklahoma and Texas.

Why Does BANF Catch Our Eye?

1. Annual revenue growth of 8.7% over the last five years beat the sector average and underscores the unique value of its offerings
2. Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 15% outpaced its revenue gains
3. Balance sheet strength has increased this cycle as its 11% annual tangible book value per share growth over the last five years was exceptional

At $124.99 per share, BancFirst trades at 2.3x forward P/B. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
