Exclusive Story
3 Low-Rated Stocks With Big Price-Target GapsBy Jessica Mitacek. Published: 4/7/2026. 
Key Points
- Despite Reduce or Strong Sell ratings, Paramount Skydance, Joby Aviation, and Lucid Group carry average price targets that suggest sizable potential upside, highlighting a sharp divide between current sentiment and long-term valuation.
- High short interest is being countered by resilient institutional ownership, with fundamental drivers pointing to better performances ahead.
- However, potential reversals hinge on specific milestones, including post-merger stabilization for Paramount Skydance, FAA certification for Joby, and a sub-$50k vehicle platform for Lucid.

Wall Street is many things, but one thing it most certainly is not is a monolith. Despite images of a cohesive unit of elite investment bankers, a more accurate portrayal is a fragmented system where competing strategies—traders and investors, bulls and bears, conventionalists and contrarians—vie for investor dollars.
Porter Stansberry, founder of one of the world's largest financial research firms, says he's breaking the biggest story of his 26-year career. A famous historian whose books have sold over 45 million copies in 65 languages is warning of a structural shift so large it has only one historical parallel - 1776.
One Stanford economist calls it 'the biggest change ever - bigger than electricity, bigger than the steam engine.' Stansberry outlines the stocks to buy, the stocks to sell, and three money moves to position yourself on the right side of this shift.

Because of that fragmentation, it isn’t uncommon for analysts to issue conflicting viewpoints. That plays out frequently with stocks carrying Reduce, Sell, or Strong Sell ratings whose average price targets nonetheless imply significant upside. MarketBeat tracks this dynamic and offers investors a list of 100 companies that received the lowest average ratings from equities research analysts over the past 12 months. The list also includes consensus price targets and the implied upside. The lowest possible rating score is 1.00, which indicates a 100% Sell rating. Yet the three stocks below, despite low ratings, show considerable upside potential—suggesting the risk-reward profile could favor patient shareholders. Paramount Skydance: A Deal-Driven Rebound After a Tough YearWith a consensus rating score of 1.47, it is clear that Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ: PSKY) has had a difficult year. The communication services stock made headlines as it competed with Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) for Warner Bros. Discovery, ultimately winning a deal valued at about $111 billion. Some analysts soured on the deal's financial details, which compounded PSKY’s losses; the stock is roughly 50% below its 52-week high. However, shares have gained more than 12% over the past five trading sessions. Although 15 analysts covering the stock assign a consensus Strong Sell rating, the average 12-month price target of $12.85 implies more than 30% upside from the current price. Paramount may remain volatile in the near term: the stock has a beta of 1.37 and short interest of 6.92% of the float. Institutional ownership is high at 73%, with inflows of $2.9 billion over the past year compared with less than $295 million in outflows. Joby Aviation: FAA Certification Progress Could Send Stock FlyingDespite generating some nominal revenue from defense contracts, Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) is still considered a pre-revenue company. Given its plans to scale rapidly, the company has a high cash burn rate—nearly $500 million in 2025. The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft maker continues to pursue Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval. It expects commercial operations to begin in late 2026 after receiving full FAA type certification, with revenue accelerating in 2027 and profitability projected between 2029 and 2031. Joby’s eVTOL aircraft aim to shake up the aerospace industry. The company recently struck a strategic partnership with Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) that will allow users to reserve eVTOL rides through Uber’s app. After rallying more than 265% to a one-year high in August 2025, JOBY shares have since fallen over 57%. The stock holds a consensus rating score of 1.89—a Reduce rating from the nine analysts covering it. The average 12-month price target of $13.81 implies roughly 59% upside. Short interest is high at 13.73% of the float, but institutional investors have been net buyers, with inflows of $1.31 billion over the past year exceeding outflows of about $722 million. Lucid: Performance Has Been Anything but ElectricDown nearly 62% over the past year, luxury EV maker Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) carries a consensus rating score of 1.90. On April 6 alone, shares fell 6.33% after the company missed Q1 vehicle delivery estimates due to supplier disruptions. Those struggles magnified Lucid’s ongoing losses, which totaled $3.68 billion in 2025—the most since a $4.75 billion net loss in 2021. Last year’s results were aggravated by a gross profit margin near -93%, contributing to a consensus Reduce rating and a hefty 36.92% of the float currently shorted. Over the past 12 months, institutional investors have pulled more than $43 billion out of the stock versus about $3.15 billion in inflows. Yet the average 12-month price target of $13.14 implies nearly 41% upside, driven by Lucid’s planned launch of a line of SUVs and a midsize platform this year with a sub-$50,000 price point, as well as a robotaxi partnership with Uber that aims to deploy 20,000 or more Lucid vehicles equipped with Nuro Driver over the next six years. |
