3 Unpopular Stocks Facing Headwinds
Wall Street's bearish price targets for the stocks in this article signal serious concerns. Such forecasts are uncommon in an industry where maintaining cordial corporate relationships often trumps delivering the hard truth. Whatever the consensus opinion may be, our team at StockStory cuts through the noise by conducting independent analysis to determine a company's long-term prospects. Keeping that in mind, here are three stocks where the outlook is warranted and some alternatives with better fundamentals. Consensus Price Target: $24.13 (8.1% implied return) Founded in 1998 by Douglas L. Becker and based in Miami, Laureate Education (NASDAQ:LAUR) is a global network of higher education institutions. Why Do We Think Twice About LAUR? Demand for its offerings was relatively low as its number of enrolled students has underwhelmed Flat earnings per share over the last five years underperformed the sector average Underwhelming 7.6% return on capital reflects management's difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities Laureate Education's stock price of $22.31 implies a valuation ratio of 14.9x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with LAUR, check out our full research report (it's free). Consensus Price Target: $49.32 (7.2% implied return) With humble beginnings as a dump truck company, Terex (NYSE:TEX) today manufactures lifting and material handling equipment designed to move and hoist heavy goods and materials. Why Is TEX Not Exciting? Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion Earnings per share have contracted by 16.4% annually over the last two years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance Free cash flow margin dropped by 6.1 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up Terex is trading at $46.01 per share, or 9.5x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including TEX in your portfolio, it's free. Consensus Price Target: $209.89 (4.2% implied return) Headquartered in Ohio, Lincoln Electric (NASDAQ:LECO) manufactures and sells welding equipment for various industries. Why Are We Wary of LECO? Organic revenue growth fell short of our benchmarks over the past two years and implies it may need to improve its products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy Projected sales growth of 2.1% for the next 12 months suggests sluggish demand Earnings growth over the last two years fell short of the peer group average as its EPS only increased by 5.4% annually At $201.44 per share, Lincoln Electric trades at 21.4x forward P/E. If you're considering LECO for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more. Market indices reached historic highs following Donald Trump's presidential victory in November 2024, but the outlook for 2025 is clouded by new trade policies that could impact business confidence and growth. While this has caused many investors to adopt a "fearful" wait-and-see approach, we're leaning into our best ideas that can grow regardless of the political or macroeconomic climate. Take advantage of Mr. Market by checking out our Top 5 Strong Momentum Stocks for this week. This is a curated list of our High Quality stocks that have generated a market-beating return of 183% over the last five years (as of March 31st 2025).

Bark, Matthews, Terex, Alta, and Montrose Stocks Trade Up, What You Need To Know
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the major indices rebounded (Nasdaq +2.0%, S&P 500 +1.5%) as President Trump postponed the planned 50% tariff on European Union imports, shifting the start date to July 9, 2025. Companies with substantial business ties to Europe likely had some relief as the delay reduced near-term cost pressures and preserved cross-border demand. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Toys and Electronics company Bark (NYSE:BARK) jumped 7.4%. Is now the time to buy Bark? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Specialized Consumer Services company Matthews (NASDAQ:MATW) jumped 5.7%. Is now the time to buy Matthews? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Construction Machinery company Terex (NYSE:TEX) jumped 5.6%. Is now the time to buy Terex? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Specialty Equipment Distributors company Alta (NYSE:ALTG) jumped 6.6%. Is now the time to buy Alta? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Waste Management company Montrose (NYSE:MEG) jumped 5.5%. Is now the time to buy Montrose? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Bark's shares are extremely volatile and have had 43 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 12 months ago when the stock dropped 20.4% on the news that the company reported weak first-quarter 2024 results and provided weak guidance. Specifically, revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance for the upcoming quarter and the full year came in below expectations. Revenue was also underwhelming during the quarter, down 3.6% year on year. The weakness was attributed to "fewer total orders in the most recent period, largely related to the Company carrying fewer BarkBox and Super Chewer subscriptions into the quarter." The weakness mostly affected the Direct to Consumer (DTC) segment. On the other hand, Commerce revenue rose 20.9% year-over-year. Overall, this was a weaker quarter for BARK. Bark is down 31.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $1.30 per share, it is trading 45.8% below its 52-week high of $2.40 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Bark's shares at the IPO in December 2020 would now be looking at an investment worth $104.84. Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we've identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.

1 Momentum Stock with Impressive Fundamentals and 2 to Approach with Caution
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. All that said, here is one stock with lasting competitive advantages and two not so much. One-Month Return: +7.4% 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 Are We Out on NWSA? Products and services aren't resonating with the market as its revenue declined by 1.4% annually over the last five years Sales are expected to decline once again over the next 12 months as it continues working through a challenging demand environment Underwhelming 6.3% return on capital reflects management's difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities News Corp's stock price of $28.22 implies a valuation ratio of 31.6x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than NWSA. One-Month Return: +32.2% With humble beginnings as a dump truck company, Terex (NYSE:TEX) today manufactures lifting and material handling equipment designed to move and hoist heavy goods and materials. Why Are We Hesitant About TEX? Organic revenue growth fell short of our benchmarks over the past two years and implies it may need to improve its products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy Earnings per share have dipped by 16.4% annually over the past two years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term 6.1 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 At $46.65 per share, Terex trades at 9.6x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why TEX doesn't pass our bar. One-Month Return: +29.7% Founded by Fred Luddy, who coded the company's initial prototype on a flight from San Francisco to London, ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW) is a software provider helping companies automate workflows across IT, HR, and customer service. Why Are We Backing NOW? Sales pipeline is in good shape as its current remaining performance obligations (cRPO) averaged 22.3% growth over the last year Disciplined cost controls and effective management resulted in a strong trailing 12-month operating margin of 12.9%, and its rise over the last year was fueled by some leverage on its fixed costs NOW is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders ServiceNow is trading at $1,037 per share, or 16x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it's free.

Live Fantasy Football analysis of every first round 2025 NFL Draft pick
Breaking down every first-round pick from a fantasy football perspective. Perry Knotts / Getty Images Before the draft gets underway, here's a look at my top available players at each position based on their fantasy potential . This is not a true ranking (I'm not a scout) but each position is broken into tiers based on what I see as their fantasy scoring potential. (T1 = Tier 1, etc.) Want more on each player? Go deeper with my draft prospect tiers story from earlier this month. Quarterbacks T1: Shedeur Sanders, COL T1: Cam Ward, MIA T2: Jaxon Dart, MISS T2: Jalen Milroe, ALA T3: Quinn Ewers, USC Running Backs T1: Ashton Jeanty, BOI T1: Omarion Hampton, UNC T1.5: Trey Henderson, OSU T2: Kaleb Johnson, IOWA T2: Quinshon Judkins, OSU T2: Damien Martinez, MIA T2: Devin Neal, KAN T2: Dylan Sampson, TEN T2: Cam Skattebo, ASU T3: LeQuint Allen, CUSE T3: Jaydon Blue, TEX T3: Trevor Etienne, UGA T3: DJ Giddens, KSU T3: Ollie Gordon, OKST T3: R.J. Harvey, UCF T3: Kyle Monangai, RUT T3: Raheim Sanders, SC T3: Bhayshul Tuten, VT Wide Receivers T1: Luther Burden, MIZZ T1: Travis Hunter, COL T1: Tetairoa McMillan, ARI T2: Isaiah Bond, TEX T2: Emeka Egbuka, OSU T2: Matthew Golden, TEX T3: Elic Ayomanor, STAN T3: Jack Bech, TCU T3: Tai Felton, MARY T3: Tre Harris, MISS T3: Jayden Higgins, ISU T3: Tez Johnson, ORE T3: Jaylin Noel, ISU T3: Xavier Restrepo, MIA T3: Jalen Royals, USU T3: Savion Williams, TCU Tight Ends T1: Tyler Warren, PSU T1: Colston Loveland, MICH T2: Elijah Arroyo, MIA T2: Jake Briningstool, CLEM T2: Harold Fannin, BGU T2: Oronde Gadsden, CUSE T2: Gunner Helm, TEX If you're here, you know how important the NFL Draft can be for your fantasy teams. Whether dynasty or redraft, we're going to see players' values impacted early and often. It sounds as though Cam Ward is set to be a Titan, but what about Shedeur Sanders? Will the Cowboys or Broncos grab their new stud running back? Will we see a drop-off in wideouts from 2024? All those answers and more, including the fantasy football impact for the players and all of their new teammates are on their way, tonight. In the meantime, here are some of the more interesting teams for specific needs/fantasy football impact. And to illustrate what I mean by that, take my omission of the New York Giants from the quarterbacks list. In real life, the Giants absolutely need a long-term answer at quaterback. Fantasy wise, Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders or any of the rest wouldn't move the fantasy needle from steady Russell Wilson or aggressive Jameis Winston to put it as a "fantasy need." If anything, knowing the floor of Wilson and the ceiling of Winston is a better situation than any rookie quarterback's Year 1 outlook for Malik Nabers and company. Quarterbacks Pittsburgh Steelers New York Jets New Orleans Saints Running Backs Chicago Bears Denver Broncos Dallas Cowboys Las Vegas Raiders Cleveland Browns Wide Receivers New England Patriots Jacksonville Jaguars Dallas Cowboys Washington Commanders Houston Texans Cleveland Browns Denver Broncos Los Angeles Chargers New York Giants Atlanta Falcons Tight Ends Los Angeles Chargers Los Angeles Rams New York Jets
