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.
Unlike the investment banks, we created StockStory to provide independent analysis that helps you determine which companies are truly worth following. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock where Wall Street’s positive outlook is supported by strong fundamentals and two where its enthusiasm might be excessive.
Two Stocks to Sell:
News Corp (NWSA)
Consensus Price Target: $36.69 (39% implied return)
Established in 2013 after a restructuring, News Corp (NASDAQ: NWSA) is a multinational conglomerate known for its news publishing, broadcasting, digital media, and book publishing.
Why Do We Steer Clear of NWSA?
- Products and services fail to spark excitement with consumers, as seen in its flat sales over the last five years
- Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital
- Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value
News Corp’s stock price of $26.39 implies a valuation ratio of 26.8x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with NWSA, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).
Lucid (LCID)
Consensus Price Target: $18.06 (54.9% implied return)
Founded by a former Tesla Vice President, Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) designs, manufactures, and sells luxury electric vehicles with long-range capabilities.
Why Are We Cautious About LCID?
- Negative 148% gross margin means it loses money on every sale and must pivot or scale quickly to survive
- Negative free cash flow raises questions about the return timeline for its investments
- Depletion of cash reserves could lead to a fundraising event that triggers shareholder dilution
At $11.66 per share, Lucid trades at 1.8x forward price-to-sales. If you’re considering LCID for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Founded in 1996 as one of the pioneers in electronic bond trading, Tradeweb Markets (NASDAQ: TW) builds and operates electronic marketplaces that connect financial institutions for trading across rates, credit, equities, and money markets.
Why Should You Buy TW?
- Impressive 25.8% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
- Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last two years, increasing by 25.7% annually
Tradeweb Markets is trading at $107.27 per share, or 28.9x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
