Stocks with best risk-adjusted upside on Wall Street
CNBC Pro screened the S&P 500 for stocks with the highest prospective risk-adjusted returns, based on Wall Street analysts' price targets and options-implied volatility over the next 12 months. The list includes tech darlings like Nvidia and Broadcom, as well as Boeing and T-Mobile, along with lesser-known names. The screen was inspired partly by a Goldman Sachs strategy comparing potential excess return on a stock's consensus price target with its implied volatility. Wynn Resorts tops the screen with analysts expecting ~70% upside. T-Mobile ranks near the top with ~54% upside. Micron Technology has nearly 70% upside. Nvidia has over 40% upside. Other names include Oracle, Western Digital, and AppLovin.
