The stocks featured in this article have all approached their 52-week highs. When these price levels hit, it typically signals strong business execution, positive market sentiment, or significant industry tailwinds.
But not every company with momentum is a long-term winner, and plenty of investors have lost money betting on short-term fads. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock with the fundamentals to back up its performance and two best left ignored.
Two Stocks to Sell:
Interface (TILE)
One-Month Return: +10.8%
Pioneering carbon-neutral flooring since its founding in 1973, Interface (NASDAQ: TILE) is a global manufacturer of modular carpet tiles, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), and rubber flooring that specializes in carbon-neutral and sustainable flooring solutions.
Why Are We Wary of TILE?
- Annual revenue growth of 3.3% over the last five years was below our standards for the business services sector
- Estimated sales growth of 4.2% for the next 12 months is soft and implies weaker demand
- Earnings per share lagged its peers over the last five years as they only grew by 6.2% annually
Interface’s stock price of $31.49 implies a valuation ratio of 16x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than TILE.
Independent Bank (INDB)
One-Month Return: +10.4%
Tracing its roots back to 1907 and serving as a financial cornerstone in New England for over a century, Independent Bank Corp. (NASDAQ: INDB) operates as the holding company for Rockland Trust, providing banking, investment, and financial services across Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Why Does INDB Worry Us?
- Sales trends were unexciting over the last two years as its 8.2% annual growth was below the typical banking company
- Annual earnings per share growth of 1.3% underperformed its revenue over the last two years, showing its incremental sales were less profitable
- 3.8% annual tangible book value per share growth over the last two years was slower than its banking peers
Independent Bank is trading at $80.79 per share, or 1x forward P/B. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why INDB doesn’t pass our bar.
One Stock to Watch:
MACOM (MTSI)
One-Month Return: +25.3%
Founded in the 1950s as Microwave Associates, a communications supplier to the US Army Signal Corp, today MACOM Technology Solutions (NASDAQ: MTSI) is a provider of analog chips used in optical, wireless, and satellite networks.
Why Could MTSI Be a Winner?
- Annual revenue growth of 22.1% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
- Offerings are mission-critical for businesses and lead to a premier gross margin of 54.4%
- Earnings per share grew by 29.1% annually over the last five years, massively outpacing its peers
