Mid-cap stocks often strike the right balance between having proven business models and market opportunities that can support $100 billion corporations. However, they face intense competition from scaled industry giants and can be disrupted by new innovative players vying for a slice of the pie.
This is precisely where StockStory comes in - we do the heavy lifting to identify companies with solid fundamentals so you can invest with confidence. That said, here is one mid-cap stock with massive growth potential and two that could be down big.
Two Mid-Cap Stocks to Sell:
Church & Dwight (CHD)
Market Cap: $22.01 billion
Best known for its Arm & Hammer baking soda, Church & Dwight (NYSE: CHD) is a household and personal care products company with a vast portfolio that spans laundry detergent to toothbrushes to hair removal creams.
Why Are We Cautious About CHD?
- Annual revenue growth of 4.1% over the last three years was below our standards for the consumer staples sector
- Organic revenue growth fell short of our benchmarks over the past two years and implies it may need to improve its products, pricing, or go-to-market strategy
- Demand will likely fall over the next 12 months as Wall Street expects flat revenue
Church & Dwight is trading at $92.91 per share, or 25.3x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than CHD.
Expeditors (EXPD)
Market Cap: $18.58 billion
Expeditors (NYSE: EXPD) offers air and ocean freight as well as brokerage services.
Why Are We Wary of EXPD?
- The company has faced growth challenges as its 2.9% annual revenue increases over the last five years fell short of other industrials companies
- High input costs result in an inferior gross margin of 13.5% that must be offset through higher volumes
- Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging
At $139.80 per share, Expeditors trades at 24.4x forward P/E. If you’re considering EXPD for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
One Mid-Cap Stock to Watch:
TransUnion (TRU)
Market Cap: $13.31 billion
One of the three major credit bureaus in the United States alongside Equifax and Experian, TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) is a global information and insights company that provides credit reports, fraud prevention tools, and data analytics to help businesses make decisions and consumers manage their financial health.
Why Does TRU Stand Out?
- Impressive 11.6% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
- Sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months calls for 11.4% growth, an acceleration from its two-year trend
- Strong free cash flow margin of 10.1% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently, and its growing cash flow gives it even more resources to deploy
TransUnion’s stock price of $69.05 implies a valuation ratio of 14.3x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
