Lindblad Expeditions price target lowered to $17 from $18 at Stifel
Stifel lowered the firm's price target on Lindblad Expeditions (LIND) to $17 from $18 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm notes that shares spiked following the company's 'impressive' Q1 earnings release, eventually settling for a more modest gain on the day. While there are puts and takes to management's commentary and forward outlook, in Stifel's view, there is no denying Q1 was a blowout quarter for the company as Lindblad posted quarterly EBITDA 55% ahead of consensus. The firm also notes that slowly but surely, it is getting positive indications that the Disney/NG partnership will pay significant dividends over time. The key thing for Stifel is demand remains healthy and cancellation rates remain in a normal position. To be as conservative as possible, the firm has now modeled in a moderate recession in 2026/2027. Discover companies with rock-solid fundamentals in TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter.

1 Volatile Stock with Exciting Potential and 2 to Ignore
Market swings can be tough to stomach, and volatile stocks often experience exaggerated moves in both directions. While many thrive during risk-on environments, many also struggle to maintain investor confidence when the ride gets bumpy. At StockStory, our job is to help you avoid costly mistakes and stay on the right side of the trade. Keeping that in mind, here is one volatile stock that could reward patient investors and two best left to the gamblers. Rolling One-Year Beta: 2.80 Founded by explorer Sven-Olof Lindblad in 1979, Lindblad Expeditions (NASDAQ:LIND) offers cruising experiences to remote destinations in partnership with National Geographic. Why Do We Steer Clear of LIND? Lackluster 13.4% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates the company is losing ground to competitors Incremental sales over the last five years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 73% annually while its revenue grew Projected 3.8 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin next year reflects the company's plans to increase its investments to defend its market position Lindblad Expeditions is trading at $8.96 per share, or 4.4x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why LIND doesn't pass our bar. Rolling One-Year Beta: 2.33 Established in 1901, Limbach (NASDAQ: LMB) provides integrated building systems solutions, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services. Why Are We Wary of LMB? Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 1.3% annually over the last five years High input costs result in an inferior gross margin of 20.3% that must be offset through higher volumes Poor expense management has led to an operating margin of 4.6% that is below the industry average At $99 per share, Limbach trades at 31.9x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than LMB. Rolling One-Year Beta: 2.93 Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang and two former Sun Microsystems engineers, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a leading fabless designer of chips used in gaming, PCs, data centers, automotive, and a variety of end markets. Why Will NVDA Beat the Market? Market share has increased this cycle as its 120% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional Additional sales over the last five years increased its profitability as the 83.3% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue Strong free cash flow margin of 45.9% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently, and its rising cash conversion increases its margin of safety Nvidia's stock price of $111.10 implies a valuation ratio of 25.5x forward P/E.

1 Small-Cap Stock with Solid Fundamentals and 2 to Steer Clear Of
Many small-cap stocks have limited Wall Street coverage, giving savvy investors the chance to act before everyone else catches on. But the flip side is that these businesses have increased downside risk because they lack the scale and staying power of their larger competitors. These trade-offs can cause headaches for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the good companies from the bad. Keeping that in mind, here is one small-cap stock that could be the next 100 bagger and two that could be down big. Market Cap: $483.1 million Founded by explorer Sven-Olof Lindblad in 1979, Lindblad Expeditions (NASDAQ:LIND) offers cruising experiences to remote destinations in partnership with National Geographic. Why Is LIND Risky? Annual revenue growth of 13.4% over the last five years was below our standards for the consumer discretionary sector Incremental sales over the last five years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 73% annually while its revenue grew Projected 3.8 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin next year reflects the company's plans to increase its investments to defend its market position Lindblad Expeditions's stock price of $8.72 implies a valuation ratio of 4.3x forward EV-to-EBITDA.

Market Cap: $1.29 billion Founded in 1989 as a pioneer in regenerative medicine technology, Integra LifeSciences (NASDAQ:IART) develops and manufactures medical technologies for neurosurgery, wound care, and surgical reconstruction, including regenerative tissue products and surgical instruments. Why Are We Out on IART? Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion Performance over the past five years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 1.4% annually Free cash flow margin dropped by 10.5 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up Integra LifeSciences is trading at $16.69 per share, or 6.7x forward price-to-earnings.

Market Cap: $878.3 million Creating the first packaged tracing systems, Thermon (NYSE:THR) is a leading provider of engineered industrial process heating solutions for process industries. Why Are We Positive On THR? Offerings are difficult to replicate at scale and lead to a top-tier gross margin of 42.3% Operating margin improvement of 9.5 percentage points over the last five years demonstrates its ability to scale efficiently Free cash flow margin expanded by 3.2 percentage points over the last five years, providing additional flexibility for investments and share buybacks/dividends At $26.07 per share, Thermon trades at 13.3x forward price-to-earnings.

LIND's modular battery-powered surfboards pay tribute to traditional deck craftsmanship
LIND pays tribute to traditional board craftsmanship with its series of fully modular and wooden electric surfboards . The design team's first stock release, named Canvas, takes after familiar surfboard designs. They shape it from EPS foam and carve oak wood into its tail block and stringer. Then, they conclude it with a glassy finish using epoxy resin. Design-wise, LIND's modular electric surfboards maintain the traditional look of water-cruising decks. Their parts are removable, too. The board, battery, and jet are stand-alone pieces. Surfers assemble them on site when they're ready to ride. They carry the board under one arm while having the backpack containing the battery and jet in the other hand. They lock these parts into the boards on the shore. Before they cruise the water, they pull out the wireless remote to set and control the maximum speed they can reach while they're on water. Once they're finished with their cruising, the surfers get back to the shore and repack their LINK modular electric surfboards. all images courtesy of LIND detachable, sleek fin that magnetically slides into the jet The battery that the design team adds to the LIND modular electric surfboards uses nickel- and gold-coated connectors. They allow for a watertight, redundant sealing, protecting them from being wet and enabling a self-balancing capability while the surfers are on water. Each cell has its own voltage monitoring, including automated overheating controls. The battery comes with a printed circuit board. It includes 48 embedded temperature sensors as well as electrolytic capacitors to smooth out voltage. The battery, just like the jet, hides under the LIND modular electric surfboards. LIND pays tribute to traditional board craftsmanship aluminum cooling plate prevents overheated battery and jet Under the board, the battery and jet cool down naturally by the water using an aluminum cooling plate. It helps transfer the battery's heat to the water to prevent the pack from overheating. The jet sits next to the battery pack. The design team uses a dual-motor system for the LIND modular electric surfboards. It can generate 20 kW of power (or 27 horsepower) and deliver speeds of up to 37 mph (60 km/h) for a ride time of up to 45 minutes. So far, there are two boards available: the shortboard at 6'3' in length and the mid-length at 6'9'. Each of them comes with a detachable, sleek fin at the bottom, which magnetically slides into the jet and helps with drag-free surfing. At the present time, LIND plans to deliver the first set of its modular electric surfboards starting June 2025. the design team carves oak wood into the surfboards' tail block and stringer there's a detachable, sleek fin at the bottom, which magnetically slides into the jet the fin allows for drag-free cruising as seen, the jet and battery are modular and extracts from the surfboard
