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 are three stocks likely to meet or exceed Wall Street’s lofty expectations.
Intuit (INTU)

Why Could INTU Be a Winner?
- Billings growth has averaged 17.6% over the last year, indicating a healthy pipeline of new contracts that should drive future revenue increases
- Excellent operating margin of 27.1% highlights the efficiency of its business model, and its rise over the last year was fueled by some leverage on its fixed costs
