3 Low-Rated Stocks With Big Price-Target GapsAuthored by 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.
- Special Report: Elon Musk already made me a “wealthy man”
Wall Street is many things, but it is not a monolith. Rather than a cohesive unit of elite investment bankers, it is a highly fragmented system where competing strategies among traders and investors—bulls and bears, conventionalists and contrarians—vie for capital.
There's a company sitting on a deposit independently valued at $2.8 billion - currently trading at a market cap of roughly $700 million. That's a 4-to-1 disconnect.
The Pentagon has already invested. Lockheed's Skunk Works signed a research partnership, and the EXIM Bank is processing up to $800 million in financing. A federal deadline of July 13, 2026 is forcing the issue.

Given that fragmentation, it isn’t uncommon for analysts to issue conflicting viewpoints. That’s often the case for many stocks rated Reduce, Sell, or Strong Sell, whose average price targets nonetheless suggest—despite those ratings—meaningful potential upside. MarketBeat tracks these data and publishes a list of 100 companies with the lowest average analyst ratings over the past 12 months. The list also shows consensus 12-month price targets and the corresponding potential upside. The lowest possible rating score is 1.00, indicating a 100% Sell consensus. Yet the three stocks below, despite low ratings, each carry considerable upside, suggesting the risk-to-reward may favor patient shareholders. Paramount Skydance: A Deal-Driven Rebound After a Tough YearWith a consensus rating score of 1.47, it’s clear that Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ: PSKY) has had a difficult year. The communication services stock drew headlines as it battled 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, though shares have gained more than 12% over the past five trading sessions. Although 15 analysts currently assign it 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’s beta is 1.37 and short interest is notable at 6.92% of the float. Institutional ownership remains strong at 73%, with inflows of $2.9 billion over the past year far outpacing outflows of less than $295 million. Joby Aviation: FAA Certification Progress Could Send Stock FlyingDespite modest revenue from defense contracts, Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) is still considered pre-revenue. Given its plans to scale rapidly, the company had an elevated cash burn that amounted to nearly $500 million in 2025. The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) maker continues to pursue Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval. Commercial operations are expected to begin in late 2026 after full FAA type certification, with a major revenue acceleration from 2027 and projected profitability 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 rising more than 265% to a one-year high in August 2025, JOBY shares have since plunged and are now down over 57%. The stock’s consensus rating score is 1.89 (Reduce), based on nine analysts. Still, with an average 12-month price target of $13.81, Joby could offer roughly 59% upside. Short interest of 13.73% of the float is high, but institutional owners have been net buyers, with inflows of $1.31 billion over the past year outweighing outflows of around $722 million. Lucid: Performance Has Been Anything but ElectricDown nearly 62% over the past year, luxury EV maker Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) holds 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 recent setbacks have magnified Lucid’s ongoing losses, which totaled $3.68 billion in 2025—the largest since a net loss of $4.75 billion in 2021. Last year’s losses were aggravated by a negative gross profit margin of nearly 93%, contributing to a consensus Reduce rating and a staggering 36.92% of the float currently shorted. Over the past 12 months, institutional investors have pulled more than $43 billion from the stock versus $3.15 billion in inflows. Still, analysts’ average 12-month price target of $13.14 implies nearly 41% upside. That outlook is driven by Lucid’s planned launch of SUVs and a midsize platform this year with a sub-$50,000 price point, 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. |
