Two Stocks Investors Are Watching Closely Right Now

Two companies have caught the attention of stock analysts recently. One sells plant-based creamer and energy drinks. The other runs private tutoring centers. Both stocks are trading near their lowest prices in a year. Yet two different analysts still believe they could climb higher. A healthcare-focused analyst recently reaffirmed a positive view on the plant-based food company. The stock sits around $3. 12. It has dropped as low as $1. 90 this past year. The analyst expects it could reach $6 if things go well. That’s almost double its current price. But looking at past predictions, this analyst’s track record shows more misses than hits. Less than one quarter of recommendations have worked out. The average loss on those picks is over 20 percent.The education company serves K-12 students in China. Its shares recently closed at $51. 70. That’s just above its yearly low of $44. 46. An analyst from a major bank sees room to climb to $75. Most experts also agree the stock has upside. They think it could gain another 43 percent from here. Another firm even set a higher target of $82. Higher education stocks often swing with government policies. Recent crackdowns on private tutoring in China show how quickly things can change.
