Wall Street has issued downbeat forecasts for the stocks in this article. These predictions are rare - financial institutions typically hesitate to say bad things about a company because it can jeopardize their other revenue-generating business lines like M&A advisory. 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 two stocks where you should be greedy instead of fearful and one where the skepticism is well-placed. Consensus Price Target: $6.19 (-2.2% implied return) Founded in 1996 by a former University of Maryland football player, Under Armour (NYSE:UAA) is an apparel brand specializing in sportswear designed to improve athletic performance. Why Should You Sell UAA? Weak constant currency growth over the past two years indicates challenges in maintaining its market share Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management's prior nor current bets are going as planned High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 7× increases the risk of forced asset sales or dilutive financing if operational performance weakens At $6.33 per share, Under Armour trades at 51.3x forward P/E.
