KNX Cover Image

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.

While momentum can be a leading indicator, it has burned many investors as it doesn’t always correlate with long-term success. All that said, here is one stock we think lives up to the hype and two not so much.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Knight-Swift Transportation (KNX)

One-Month Return: +16.6%

Covering 1.6 billion loaded miles in 2023 alone, Knight-Swift Transportation (NYSE: KNX) offers less-than-truckload and full truckload delivery services.

Why Is KNX Risky?

  1. 2.3% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its industrials peers
  2. Incremental sales over the last five years were much less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 14.4% annually while its revenue grew
  3. Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management’s prior nor current bets are going as planned

At $61.99 per share, Knight-Swift Transportation trades at 32.6x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why KNX doesn’t pass our bar.

Camden National Bank (CAC)

One-Month Return: +11.3%

Rooted in Maine's coastal communities since 1875, Camden National (NASDAQ: CAC) is a regional bank holding company that provides banking, wealth management, and financial services to consumers and businesses throughout Maine and New Hampshire.

Why Are We Cautious About CAC?

  1. Net interest income trends were unexciting over the last five years as its 8.3% annual growth was below the typical banking firm
  2. Annual earnings per share growth of 1.7% underperformed its revenue over the last five years, showing its incremental sales were less profitable
  3. Products and services are facing profitability challenges during this cycle, as seen in its flat tangible book value per share over the last five years

Camden National Bank is trading at $51.13 per share, or 1.1x forward P/B. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than CAC.

One Stock to Watch:

TTM Technologies (TTMI)

One-Month Return: +24.9%

As one of the world's largest printed circuit board manufacturers with facilities spanning North America and Asia, TTM Technologies (NASDAQ: TTMI) manufactures printed circuit boards (PCBs) and radio frequency (RF) components for aerospace, defense, automotive, and telecommunications industries.

Why Does TTMI Catch Our Eye?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 14.1% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Exciting sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months calls for 17.4% growth, an acceleration from its two-year trend
  3. Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last two years as its EPS has compounded at 35.2% annually

TTM Technologies’s stock price of $120.51 implies a valuation ratio of 38.5x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
