Wall Street has set ambitious price targets for the stocks in this article. While this suggests attractive upside potential, it’s important to remain skeptical because analysts face institutional pressures that can sometimes lead to overly optimistic forecasts.

At StockStory, we look beyond the headlines with our independent analysis to determine whether these bullish calls are justified. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations and two where analysts may be overlooking some important risks.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Matthews (MATW)

Consensus Price Target: $37 (53% implied return)

Originally a death care company, Matthews International (NASDAQ: MATW) is a diversified company offering ceremonial services, brand solutions and industrial technologies.

Why Do We Pass on MATW?

1. Products and services have few die-hard fans as sales have declined by 6.5% annually over the last two years
2. Earnings per share fell by 14.8% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were much less profitable
3. Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model

At $24.19 per share, Matthews trades at 15.8x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why MATW doesn’t pass our bar.

Sealed Air (SEE)

Consensus Price Target: $39.07 (21.2% implied return)

Founded in 1960, Sealed Air Corporation (NYSE: SEE) specializes in the development and production of protective and food packaging solutions, serving a variety of industries.

Why Do We Steer Clear of SEE?

1. Declining unit sales over the past two years show it’s struggled to increase its sales volumes and had to rely on price increases
2. Performance over the past two years shows each sale was less profitable as its earnings per share dropped by 3.9% annually, worse than its revenue
3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Sealed Air’s stock price of $32.23 implies a valuation ratio of 10.5x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with SEE, check out our full research report (it’s free).

One Stock to Watch:

Euronet Worldwide (EEFT)

Consensus Price Target: $127.71 (33.2% implied return)

Operating a global network of over 47,000 ATMs and 821,000 point-of-sale terminals across more than 60 countries, Euronet Worldwide (NASDAQ: EEFT) provides electronic payment solutions including ATM services, prepaid product processing, and international money transfer services.

Why Could EEFT Be a Winner?

1. Annual revenue growth of 9.8% over the last five years was above the sector average and underscores its products and services value to customers
2. Share repurchases over the last two years enabled its annual earnings per share growth of 11.9% to outpace its revenue gains
3. Market-beating return on equity illustrates that management has a knack for investing in profitable ventures

Euronet Worldwide is trading at $95.89 per share, or 8.9x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
