Looking where others fear to tread is a time-tested strategy for uncovering value.\nHow deeply Wall Street disagrees on a stock is easy to measure, with what Barron’s calls the bull-bear spread. The breadth of the gap between the highest stock-price target on the Street and the lowest, relative to the current price, offers an apples-to-apples metric.\nConsider Tesla(ticker: TSLA), aclassic controversial stock. Today, the top target price for Tesla shares is $1,200 a share, from Piper Sandler analyst Alex Potter. That target is up almost 100% from recent levels and values Tesla at roughly $1 trillion. The low figure comes from GLJ Research analyst Gordon Johnson, whose target is $67 a share, valuing the company at roughly $60 billion, similar to Ford Motor(F).\nThe difference between the two calls is more than $1,100 a share and about 185% of the recent stock price of about $610 a share. The average bull-bear spread for stocks in the S&P 500 is roughly 50% of their current prices.\nA year ago, buying controversy was a good idea. The 24 most controversial names in the S&P 500 as of June 2020, identified via aBarron’sstock screen, have returned about 105% on average over the past 12 months. That is almost twice the average return of the typical S&P 500 stock. All 24 stocks are higher.\nUncertainty over how the pandemic would play out meant lots of controversy last year. The average bull-bear spread for the 24 most controversial stocks, in areas such as cruise operators, airlines, energy, and retailers. averaged more than 170% of the current stock prices.\nControversy in 2021 is a little lower. The average bull-bear spread for the 2021 list of the 24 most controversial S&P 500 stocks is about 120%, and the list of names is more diverse.\nCompanies that qualified include Tesla,Sherwin-Williams(SHW),Dish Network(DISH),ViacomCBS(VIAC),Penn National Gaming(PENN),Under Armour(UAA),Advanced Micro Devices (AMD),Western Digital(WDC),ResMed(RMD),Freeport-McMoRan(FCX),Discovery(DISCA),Micron Technology(MU),American Airlines(AAL),Hanesbrands(HBI),Netflix(NFLX),Nov(NOV),L Brands(LB),Incyte(INCY),Colgate-Palmolive(CL),Carnival(CCL),General Electric (GE),Schlumberger(SLB),Twitter(TWTR) and Ball(BLL).\nWall Street Divided\nThe most extreme bull bear spreads for stocks in the S&P 500.\n\n\n\nCompany / Ticker\nMarket Cap (bil)\n2022 PE Ratio\nBull Bear Spread\n\n\n\n\nSherwin-Williams / SHW\n$72.8\n25.9\n207%\n\n\nTesla / TSLA\n587.5\n95.1\n184\n\n\nDish Network / DISH\n21.1\n14.4\n182\n\n\nViacomCBS / VIAC\n27.7\n10.4\n160\n\n\nPenn National Gaming / PENN\n12.6\n30.2\n149\n\n\nUnder Armour / UAA\n8.8\n43.3\n140\n\n\nAdvanced Micro Devices / AMD\n99.1\n30.3\n133\n\n\nWestern Digital / WDC\n22.9\n8.7\n121\n\n\nResmed / RMD\n33.7\n41.9\n114\n\n\nFreeport-McMoran / FCX\n57.9\n11.7\n109\n\n\nDiscovery / DISCA\n21.8\n9.8\n107\n\n\nMicron Technology / MU\n90.3\n7.3\n107\n\n\nAmerican Airlines / ALL\n14.7\nn/a\n104\n\n\nHanesbrands / HBI\n6.7\n11.4\n100\n\n\nNetflix / NFLX\n217.4\n39.0\n98\n\n\nNov / NOV\n6.6\n76.8\n96\n\n\nL Brands / LB\n18.2\n11.6\n96\n\n\nIncyte / INCY\n18.2\n18.1\n95\n\n\nColgate-Palmolive / CL\n70.6\n23.9\n94\n\n\nCarnival / CCL\n32.0\n107.7\n91\n\n\nGeneral Electric / GE\n119.6\n25.9\n89\n\n\nSchlumberger / SLB\n47.6\n21.2\n89\n\n\nTwitter / TWTR\n48.6\n55.7\n88\n\n\nBall / BLL\n26.6\n20.1\n86\n\n\n\nSome of this year’s divergence in views is easy to understand.

Looking where others fear to tread is a time-tested strategy for uncovering value.\nHow deeply Wall Street disagrees on a stock is easy to measure, with what Barron’s calls the bull-bear spread. The breadth of the gap between the highest stock-price target on the Street and the lowest, relative to the current price, offers an apples-to-apples metric.\nConsider Tesla(ticker: TSLA), aclassic controversial stock. Today, the top target price for Tesla shares is $1,200 a share, from Piper Sandler analyst Alex Potter. That target is up almost 100% from recent levels and values Tesla at roughly $1 trillion. The low figure comes from GLJ Research analyst Gordon Johnson, whose target is $67 a share, valuing the company at roughly $60 billion, similar to Ford Motor(F).\nThe difference between the two calls is more than $1,100 a share and about 185% of the recent stock price of about $610 a share. The average bull-bear spread for stocks in the S&P 500 is roughly 50% of their current prices.\nA year ago, buying controversy was a good idea. The 24 most controversial names in the S&P 500 as of June 2020, identified via aBarron’sstock screen, have returned about 105% on average over the past 12 months. That is almost twice the average return of the typical S&P 500 stock. All 24 stocks are higher.\nUncertainty over how the pandemic would play out meant lots of controversy last year. The average bull-bear spread for the 24 most controversial stocks, in areas such as cruise operators, airlines, energy, and retailers. averaged more than 170% of the current stock prices.\nControversy in 2021 is a little lower. The average bull-bear spread for the 2021 list of the 24 most controversial S&P 500 stocks is about 120%, and the list of names is more diverse.\nCompanies that qualified include Tesla,Sherwin-Williams(SHW),Dish Network(DISH),ViacomCBS(VIAC),Penn National Gaming(PENN),Under Armour(UAA),Advanced Micro Devices (AMD),Western Digital(WDC),ResMed(RMD),Freeport-McMoRan(FCX),Discovery(DISCA),Micron Technology(MU),American Airlines(AAL),Hanesbrands(HBI),Netflix(NFLX),Nov(NOV),L Brands(LB),Incyte(INCY),Colgate-Palmolive(CL),Carnival(CCL),General Electric (GE),Schlumberger(SLB),Twitter(TWTR) and Ball(BLL).\nWall Street Divided\nThe most extreme bull bear spreads for stocks in the S&P 500.\n\n\n\nCompany / Ticker\nMarket Cap (bil)\n2022 PE Ratio\nBull Bear Spread\n\n\n\n\nSherwin-Williams / SHW\n$72.8\n25.9\n207%\n\n\nTesla / TSLA\n587.5\n95.1\n184\n\n\nDish Network / DISH\n21.1\n14.4\n182\n\n\nViacomCBS / VIAC\n27.7\n10.4\n160\n\n\nPenn National Gaming / PENN\n12.6\n30.2\n149\n\n\nUnder Armour / UAA\n8.8\n43.3\n140\n\n\nAdvanced Micro Devices / AMD\n99.1\n30.3\n133\n\n\nWestern Digital / WDC\n22.9\n8.7\n121\n\n\nResmed / RMD\n33.7\n41.9\n114\n\n\nFreeport-McMoran / FCX\n57.9\n11.7\n109\n\n\nDiscovery / DISCA\n21.8\n9.8\n107\n\n\nMicron Technology / MU\n90.3\n7.3\n107\n\n\nAmerican Airlines / ALL\n14.7\nn/a\n104\n\n\nHanesbrands / HBI\n6.7\n11.4\n100\n\n\nNetflix / NFLX\n217.4\n39.0\n98\n\n\nNov / NOV\n6.6\n76.8\n96\n\n\nL Brands / LB\n18.2\n11.6\n96\n\n\nIncyte / INCY\n18.2\n18.1\n95\n\n\nColgate-Palmolive / CL\n70.6\n23.9\n94\n\n\nCarnival / CCL\n32.0\n107.7\n91\n\n\nGeneral Electric / GE\n119.6\n25.9\n89\n\n\nSchlumberger / SLB\n47.6\n21.2\n89\n\n\nTwitter / TWTR\n48.6\n55.7\n88\n\n\nBall / BLL\n26.6\n20.1\n86\n\n\n\nSome of this year’s divergence in views is easy to understand.

Looking where others fear to tread is a time-tested strategy for uncovering value.\nHow deeply Wall Street disagrees on a stock is easy to measure, with what Barron’s calls the bull-bear spread. The breadth of the gap between the highest stock-price target on the Street and the lowest, relative to the current price, offers an apples-to-apples metric.\nConsider Tesla(ticker: TSLA), aclassic controversial stock. Today, the top target price for Tesla shares is $1,200 a share, from Piper Sandler analyst Alex Potter. That target is up almost 100% from recent levels and values Tesla at roughly $1 trillion. The low figure comes from GLJ Research analyst Gordon Johnson, whose target is $67 a share, valuing the company at roughly $60 billion, similar to Ford Motor(F).\nThe difference between the two calls is more than $1,100 a share and about 185% of the recent stock price of about $610 a share. The average bull-bear spread for stocks in the S&P 500 is roughly 50% of their current prices.\nA year ago, buying controversy was a good idea. The 24 most controversial names in the S&P 500 as of June 2020, identified via aBarron’sstock screen, have returned about 105% on average over the past 12 months. That is almost twice the average return of the typical S&P 500 stock. All 24 stocks are higher.\nUncertainty over how the pandemic would play out meant lots of controversy last year. The average bull-bear spread for the 24 most controversial stocks, in areas such as cruise operators, airlines, energy, and retailers. averaged more than 170% of the current stock prices.\nControversy in 2021 is a little lower. The average bull-bear spread for the 2021 list of the 24 most controversial S&P 500 stocks is about 120%, and the list of names is more diverse.\nCompanies that qualified include Tesla,Sherwin-Williams(SHW),Dish Network(DISH),ViacomCBS(VIAC),Penn National Gaming(PENN),Under Armour(UAA),Advanced Micro Devices (AMD),Western Digital(WDC),ResMed(RMD),Freeport-McMoRan(FCX),Discovery(DISCA),Micron Technology(MU),American Airlines(AAL),Hanesbrands(HBI),Netflix(NFLX),Nov(NOV),L Brands(LB),Incyte(INCY),Colgate-Palmolive(CL),Carnival(CCL),General Electric (GE),Schlumberger(SLB),Twitter(TWTR) and Ball(BLL).\nWall Street Divided\nThe most extreme bull bear spreads for stocks in the S&P 500.\n\n\n\nCompany / Ticker\nMarket Cap (bil)\n2022 PE Ratio\nBull Bear Spread\n\n\n\n\nSherwin-Williams / SHW\n$72.8\n25.9\n207%\n\n\nTesla / TSLA\n587.5\n95.1\n184\n\n\nDish Network / DISH\n21.1\n14.4\n182\n\n\nViacomCBS / VIAC\n27.7\n10.4\n160\n\n\nPenn National Gaming / PENN\n12.6\n30.2\n149\n\n\nUnder Armour / UAA\n8.8\n43.3\n140\n\n\nAdvanced Micro Devices / AMD\n99.1\n30.3\n133\n\n\nWestern Digital / WDC\n22.9\n8.7\n121\n\n\nResmed / RMD\n33.7\n41.9\n114\n\n\nFreeport-McMoran / FCX\n57.9\n11.7\n109\n\n\nDiscovery / DISCA\n21.8\n9.8\n107\n\n\nMicron Technology / MU\n90.3\n7.3\n107\n\n\nAmerican Airlines / ALL\n14.7\nn/a\n104\n\n\nHanesbrands / HBI\n6.7\n11.4\n100\n\n\nNetflix / NFLX\n217.4\n39.0\n98\n\n\nNov / NOV\n6.6\n76.8\n96\n\n\nL Brands / LB\n18.2\n11.6\n96\n\n\nIncyte / INCY\n18.2\n18.1\n95\n\n\nColgate-Palmolive / CL\n70.6\n23.9\n94\n\n\nCarnival / CCL\n32.0\n107.7\n91\n\n\nGeneral Electric / GE\n119.6\n25.9\n89\n\n\nSchlumberger / SLB\n47.6\n21.2\n89\n\n\nTwitter / TWTR\n48.6\n55.7\n88\n\n\nBall / BLL\n26.6\n20.1\n86\n\n\n\nSome of this year’s divergence in views is easy to understand.

Looking where others fear to tread is a time-tested strategy for uncovering value.\nHow deeply Wall Street disagrees on a stock is easy to measure, with what Barron’s calls the bull-bear spread. The breadth of the gap between the highest stock-price target on the Street and the lowest, relative to the current price, offers an apples-to-apples metric.\nConsider Tesla(ticker: TSLA), aclassic controversial stock. Today, the top target price for Tesla shares is $1,200 a share, from Piper Sandler analyst Alex Potter. That target is up almost 100% from recent levels and values Tesla at roughly $1 trillion. The low figure comes from GLJ Research analyst Gordon Johnson, whose target is $67 a share, valuing the company at roughly $60 billion, similar to Ford Motor(F).\nThe difference between the two calls is more than $1,100 a share and about 185% of the recent stock price of about $610 a share. The average bull-bear spread for stocks in the S&P 500 is roughly 50% of their current prices.\nA year ago, buying controversy was a good idea. The 24 most controversial names in the S&P 500 as of June 2020, identified via aBarron’sstock screen, have returned about 105% on average over the past 12 months. That is almost twice the average return of the typical S&P 500 stock. All 24 stocks are higher.\nUncertainty over how the pandemic would play out meant lots of controversy last year. The average bull-bear spread for the 24 most controversial stocks, in areas such as cruise operators, airlines, energy, and retailers. averaged more than 170% of the current stock prices.\nControversy in 2021 is a little lower. The average bull-bear spread for the 2021 list of the 24 most controversial S&P 500 stocks is about 120%, and the list of names is more diverse.\nCompanies that qualified include Tesla,Sherwin-Williams(SHW),Dish Network(DISH),ViacomCBS(VIAC),Penn National Gaming(PENN),Under Armour(UAA),Advanced Micro Devices (AMD),Western Digital(WDC),ResMed(RMD),Freeport-McMoRan(FCX),Discovery(DISCA),Micron Technology(MU),American Airlines(AAL),Hanesbrands(HBI),Netflix(NFLX),Nov(NOV),L Brands(LB),Incyte(INCY),Colgate-Palmolive(CL),Carnival(CCL),General Electric (GE),Schlumberger(SLB),Twitter(TWTR) and Ball(BLL).\nWall Street Divided\nThe most extreme bull bear spreads for stocks in the S&P 500.\n\n\n\nCompany / Ticker\nMarket Cap (bil)\n2022 PE Ratio\nBull Bear Spread\n\n\n\n\nSherwin-Williams / SHW\n$72.8\n25.9\n207%\n\n\nTesla / TSLA\n587.5\n95.1\n184\n\n\nDish Network / DISH\n21.1\n14.4\n182\n\n\nViacomCBS / VIAC\n27.7\n10.4\n160\n\n\nPenn National Gaming / PENN\n12.6\n30.2\n149\n\n\nUnder Armour / UAA\n8.8\n43.3\n140\n\n\nAdvanced Micro Devices / AMD\n99.1\n30.3\n133\n\n\nWestern Digital / WDC\n22.9\n8.7\n121\n\n\nResmed / RMD\n33.7\n41.9\n114\n\n\nFreeport-McMoran / FCX\n57.9\n11.7\n109\n\n\nDiscovery / DISCA\n21.8\n9.8\n107\n\n\nMicron Technology / MU\n90.3\n7.3\n107\n\n\nAmerican Airlines / ALL\n14.7\nn/a\n104\n\n\nHanesbrands / HBI\n6.7\n11.4\n100\n\n\nNetflix / NFLX\n217.4\n39.0\n98\n\n\nNov / NOV\n6.6\n76.8\n96\n\n\nL Brands / LB\n18.2\n11.6\n96\n\n\nIncyte / INCY\n18.2\n18.1\n95\n\n\nColgate-Palmolive / CL\n70.6\n23.9\n94\n\n\nCarnival / CCL\n32.0\n107.7\n91\n\n\nGeneral Electric / GE\n119.6\n25.9\n89\n\n\nSchlumberger / SLB\n47.6\n21.2\n89\n\n\nTwitter / TWTR\n48.6\n55.7\n88\n\n\nBall / BLL\n26.6\n20.1\n86\n\n\n\nSome of this year’s divergence in views is easy to understand.

Looking where others fear to tread is a time-tested strategy for uncovering value.\nHow deeply Wall Street disagrees on a stock is easy to measure, with what Barron’s calls the bull-bear spread. The breadth of the gap between the highest stock-price target on the Street and the lowest, relative to the current price, offers an apples-to-apples metric.\nConsider Tesla(ticker: TSLA), aclassic controversial stock. Today, the top target price for Tesla shares is $1,200 a share, from Piper Sandler analyst Alex Potter. That target is up almost 100% from recent levels and values Tesla at roughly $1 trillion. The low figure comes from GLJ Research analyst Gordon Johnson, whose target is $67 a share, valuing the company at roughly $60 billion, similar to Ford Motor(F).\nThe difference between the two calls is more than $1,100 a share and about 185% of the recent stock price of about $610 a share. The average bull-bear spread for stocks in the S&P 500 is roughly 50% of their current prices.\nA year ago, buying controversy was a good idea. The 24 most controversial names in the S&P 500 as of June 2020, identified via aBarron’sstock screen, have returned about 105% on average over the past 12 months. That is almost twice the average return of the typical S&P 500 stock. All 24 stocks are higher.\nUncertainty over how the pandemic would play out meant lots of controversy last year. The average bull-bear spread for the 24 most controversial stocks, in areas such as cruise operators, airlines, energy, and retailers. averaged more than 170% of the current stock prices.\nControversy in 2021 is a little lower. The average bull-bear spread for the 2021 list of the 24 most controversial S&P 500 stocks is about 120%, and the list of names is more diverse.\nCompanies that qualified include Tesla,Sherwin-Williams(SHW),Dish Network(DISH),ViacomCBS(VIAC),Penn National Gaming(PENN),Under Armour(UAA),Advanced Micro Devices (AMD),Western Digital(WDC),ResMed(RMD),Freeport-McMoRan(FCX),Discovery(DISCA),Micron Technology(MU),American Airlines(AAL),Hanesbrands(HBI),Netflix(NFLX),Nov(NOV),L Brands(LB),Incyte(INCY),Colgate-Palmolive(CL),Carnival(CCL),General Electric (GE),Schlumberger(SLB),Twitter(TWTR) and Ball(BLL).\nWall Street Divided\nThe most extreme bull bear spreads for stocks in the S&P 500.\n\n\n\nCompany / Ticker\nMarket Cap (bil)\n2022 PE Ratio\nBull Bear Spread\n\n\n\n\nSherwin-Williams / SHW\n$72.8\n25.9\n207%\n\n\nTesla / TSLA\n587.5\n95.1\n184\n\n\nDish Network / DISH\n21.1\n14.4\n182\n\n\nViacomCBS / VIAC\n27.7\n10.4\n160\n\n\nPenn National Gaming / PENN\n12.6\n30.2\n149\n\n\nUnder Armour / UAA\n8.8\n43.3\n140\n\n\nAdvanced Micro Devices / AMD\n99.1\n30.3\n133\n\n\nWestern Digital / WDC\n22.9\n8.7\n121\n\n\nResmed / RMD\n33.7\n41.9\n114\n\n\nFreeport-McMoran / FCX\n57.9\n11.7\n109\n\n\nDiscovery / DISCA\n21.8\n9.8\n107\n\n\nMicron Technology / MU\n90.3\n7.3\n107\n\n\nAmerican Airlines / ALL\n14.7\nn/a\n104\n\n\nHanesbrands / HBI\n6.7\n11.4\n100\n\n\nNetflix / NFLX\n217.4\n39.0\n98\n\n\nNov / NOV\n6.6\n76.8\n96\n\n\nL Brands / LB\n18.2\n11.6\n96\n\n\nIncyte / INCY\n18.2\n18.1\n95\n\n\nColgate-Palmolive / CL\n70.6\n23.9\n94\n\n\nCarnival / CCL\n32.0\n107.7\n91\n\n\nGeneral Electric / GE\n119.6\n25.9\n89\n\n\nSchlumberger / SLB\n47.6\n21.2\n89\n\n\nTwitter / TWTR\n48.6\n55.7\n88\n\n\nBall / BLL\n26.6\n20.1\n86\n\n\n\nSome of this year’s divergence in views is easy to understand.
