The stocks in this article have caught Wall Street’s attention in a big way, with price targets implying returns above 20%. But investors should take these forecasts with a grain of salt because analysts typically say nice things about companies so their firms can win business in other product lines like M&A advisory.

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 where Wall Street’s positive outlook is supported by strong fundamentals and one where consensus estimates seem disconnected from reality.

One Stock to Sell:

F.N.B. Corporation (FNB)

Consensus Price Target: $18.79 (12.3% implied return)

Tracing its roots back to 1864 during the Civil War era, F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE: FNB) is a diversified financial services holding company that provides banking, wealth management, and insurance services to consumers and businesses across seven states and Washington, D.C.

Why Does FNB Give Us Pause?

1. Products and services are facing end-market challenges during this cycle, as seen in its flat sales over the last two years
2. Annual net interest income growth of 8.1% over the last five years was below our standards for the banking sector
3. Earnings per share fell by 5% annually over the last two years while its revenue was flat, showing each sale was less profitable

At $16.74 per share, F.N.B. Corporation trades at 0.9x forward P/B. If you’re considering FNB for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two Stocks to Watch:

Intuit (INTU)

Consensus Price Target: $804.22 (23.5% implied return)

Originally named after its founding product "Intuitive for the first-time user," Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU) provides financial management software and services including TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma, and Mailchimp to help consumers and small businesses manage their finances.

Why Are We Fans of INTU?

1. Winning new contracts that can potentially increase in value as its billings growth has averaged 17.8% over the last year
2. Highly efficient business model is illustrated by its impressive 26.7% operating margin, and it turbocharged its profits by achieving some fixed cost leverage
3. Robust free cash flow margin of 32.7% gives it many options for capital deployment

Intuit is trading at $650.99 per share, or 8.4x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.

Humana (HUM)

Consensus Price Target: $287.92 (21.4% implied return)

With over 80% of its revenue derived from federal government contracts, Humana (NYSE: HUM) provides health insurance plans and healthcare services to approximately 17 million members, with a strong focus on Medicare Advantage plans for seniors.

Why Does HUM Stand Out?

1. Dominant market position is represented by its $126.3 billion in revenue, which gives it negotiating power over membership pricing and reimbursement rates
2. Estimated revenue growth of 11.1% for the next 12 months implies its momentum over the last two years will continue
3. Market-beating returns on capital illustrate that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures

Humana’s stock price of $237.15 implies a valuation ratio of 17.1x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
