The stocks featured in this article are seeing some big returns. Over the past month, they’ve outpaced the market due to new product launches, positive news, or even a dedicated social media following.

While momentum can be a leading indicator, it has burned many investors as it doesn’t always correlate with long-term success. Keeping that in mind, here are two stocks we think live up to the hype and one not so much.

One Momentum Stock to Sell:

Teladoc (TDOC)

One-Month Return: +18.5%

Founded to help people in rural areas get online medical consultations, Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC) is a telemedicine platform that facilitates remote doctor’s visits.

Why Does TDOC Fall Short?

1. Annual revenue growth of 6% over the last three years was below our standards for the consumer internet sector
2. Decision to emphasize platform growth over monetization has contributed to 5.3% annual declines in its average revenue per user
3. Projected sales decline of 1.3% for the next 12 months points to a tough demand environment ahead

Teladoc’s stock price of $8.32 implies a valuation ratio of 4.8x forward EV/EBITDA. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than TDOC.

Two Momentum Stocks to Watch:

Planet Labs (PL)

One-Month Return: +15.9%

Pioneering the concept of "agile aerospace" with hundreds of small but powerful satellites, Planet Labs (NYSE: PL) operates the world's largest fleet of Earth observation satellites, capturing daily images of our planet to provide insights on deforestation, agriculture, and climate change.

Why Do We Like PL?

1. Annual revenue growth of 21.3% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
2. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 27% outpaced its revenue gains
3. Historical investments are beginning to pay off as its returns on capital are growing

Planet Labs is trading at $6.19 per share, or 6.4x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Founded in Silicon Valley in 1993 and known for its modular "building block" approach to server design, Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) designs and manufactures high-performance, energy-efficient server and storage systems for data centers, cloud computing, AI, and edge computing applications.

Why Do We Love SMCI?

2. Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last five years, increasing by 23.2% annually
