3 Low-Rated Stocks With Big Price-Target GapsBy Jessica Mitacek. Date Posted: 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 it is certainly not a monolithic entity. Despite images of a cohesive group of elite investment bankers, a more accurate portrayal is a highly fragmented system where competing strategies—traders and investors, bulls and bears, conventionalists and contrarians—vie for capital.
Analyst Jim Rickards believes gold could climb to $10,000 per ounce or higher in the coming years - and he says investors still have time to position ahead of the move.
His top recommendation is a $2 stock he describes as sitting on the largest gold deposit in the world, with an extraction green light potentially arriving April 15. See Jim Rickards' number one gold recommendation for 2026
Given that fragmentation, it’s not uncommon for analysts to issue conflicting viewpoints. That’s often the case for stocks carrying Reduce, Sell, or Strong Sell ratings whose average price targets nonetheless suggest meaningful upside. MarketBeat tracks this divergence and provides investors with a list of 100 companies that have received the lowest average rating from equity research analysts over the past 12 months. The list also includes consensus price targets and, importantly, potential upside. A rating score of 1.00 indicates a unanimous Sell. Yet the three stocks below, despite low ratings, each show considerable upside potential, suggesting the risk-reward could favor patient shareholders. Paramount Skydance: A Deal-Driven Rebound After a Tough YearWith a consensus rating of 1.47, Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ: PSKY) has had a difficult year. The communication services stock spent months in the headlines as it competed with Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) for Warner Bros. Discovery, ultimately winning a deal worth about $111 billion. However, some analysts soured on the financial terms of the deal, which compounded PSKY’s losses. From its 52-week high, the stock is down roughly 50%, though shares have rebounded 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 current levels. Paramount is likely to remain volatile in the near term: the stock carries a beta of 1.37 and short interest stands at 6.92% of the float. Institutional ownership, however, is robust at 73%, with inflows of $2.9 billion over the past year far exceeding outflows of under $295 million. Joby Aviation: FAA Certification Progress Could Send Stock FlyingAlthough Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) has generated nominal revenue from defense contracts, it is still considered a pre-revenue company. Given plans to scale rapidly, the company’s cash burn reached nearly $500 million in 2025. The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) maker is pursuing Federal Aviation Administration approval. Commercial operations are expected to begin late in 2026 after full FAA type certification, with revenues 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), which will allow users to reserve eVTOL rides through Uber’s app. After surging more than 265% to a one-year high in August 2025, JOBY shares have since tumbled over 57%. The stock has a consensus rating score of 1.89—a Reduce rating from nine covering analysts. Still, an average 12-month price target of $13.81 implies nearly 59% upside. Short interest is elevated at 13.73% of the float, but institutional investors have shown conviction, with inflows of $1.31 billion over the past year outpacing outflows of roughly $722 million. Lucid: Performance Has Been Anything but ElectricLuxury EV maker Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) is down nearly 62% over the past year and holds a consensus rating of 1.90. On April 6, shares fell 6.33% after the company missed Q1 vehicle delivery estimates due to supplier disruptions. Those struggles exacerbated Lucid’s ongoing losses, which totaled $3.68 billion in 2025—the largest since a $4.75 billion net loss in 2021. Last year’s results were worsened by a negative gross profit margin of nearly 93%, contributing to a consensus Reduce rating and roughly 36.92% of the float currently shorted. Institutional investors have withdrawn over $43 billion from the stock in the past 12 months compared with about $3.15 billion in inflows. Still, analysts’ average 12-month price target of $13.14 implies nearly 41% upside, driven by Lucid’s planned launch of an SUV line and a midsize platform this year with sub-$50,000 price points, and a robotaxi partnership with Uber that aims to deploy 20,000 or more Lucid vehicles equipped with Nuro Driver over the next six years. |
