Wall Street is overwhelmingly bullish on the stocks in this article, with price targets suggesting significant upside potential. However, it’s worth remembering that analysts rarely issue sell ratings, partly because their firms often seek other business from the same companies they cover.

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:

Getty Images (GETY)

Consensus Price Target: $4.43 (247% implied return)

With a vast library of over 562 million visual assets documenting everything from breaking news to iconic historical moments, Getty Images (NYSE: GETY) is a global visual content marketplace that licenses photos, videos, illustrations, and music to businesses, media outlets, and creative professionals.

Why Does GETY Fall Short?

1. Sales trends were unexciting over the last two years as its 1.3% annual growth was below the typical business services company
2. 11.2 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin over the last five years reflects the company’s increased investments to defend its market position
3. Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up

Getty Images is trading at $1.28 per share, or 18.8x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with GETY, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Equitable Holdings (EQH)

Consensus Price Target: $62.33 (36.6% implied return)

Tracing its roots back to 1859 as one of America's oldest financial institutions, Equitable Holdings (NYSE: EQH) provides retirement planning, asset management, and life insurance products through its two main franchises, Equitable and AllianceBernstein.

Why Should You Sell EQH?

1. Large revenue base makes it harder to increase sales quickly, and its annual revenue growth of 2.4% over the last five years was below our standards for the insurance sector
2. Book value per share tumbled by 162% annually over the last five years, showing insurance sector trends are working against its favor during this cycle
3. High debt-to-equity ratio of 8.7× shows the firm carries too much debt relative to shareholder equity, increasing bankruptcy risk

Equitable Holdings’s stock price of $45.64 implies a valuation ratio of 6.2x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including EQH in your portfolio.

One Stock to Watch:

Coinbase (COIN)

Consensus Price Target: $344.81 (59.5% implied return)

Widely regarded as the face of crypto, Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) is a blockchain infrastructure company updating the financial system with its trading, staking, stablecoin, and other payment solutions.

Why Do We Watch COIN?

1. Monthly Transacting Users are rising, meaning the company can increase revenue without incurring additional customer acquisition costs if it can cross-sell additional products and features
2. Strong engagement trends coupled with 55% annual growth in its average revenue per user demonstrate its platform’s stickiness with die-hard customers
3. Platform is difficult to replicate at scale and leads to a best-in-class gross margin of 85.9%

At $216.23 per share, Coinbase trades at 17.9x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
