Wall Street Analysts
Analysts in Wall Street will come up with forecasts for stocks estimating where they believe they will be in the next 12 months.
How they exactly come up with these numbers is anyone’s guess and the fact that they tend to change these figures constantly, especially if the share price moves rapidly in one direction shows that it isn’t something to focus on when you research your own stocks.
However, having said that, it can be a good place to start when considering adding stocks to your watchlist.
In today’s newsletter we will take a look at 10 Dividend Stocks that not only have some strong upside from Wall Street Analysts but also have a decent margin of safety from when we last reviewed these stocks on our YouTube channel.
10 Dividend Stocks
Apple (AAPL)
If you read last week’s article (or regularly watch our YouTube episodes) then you will understand what we mean by Dividend Yield Theory.
From the above we can see that Apple is currently trading on a forward PE basis slightly below the 5-year average with the yield slightly lower than the 5-year average too. Based purely on this model we see a sign of reasonable valuation.
When looking at Wall Street forecasts below we can see over 20% upside for this Tech Giant!
Price = $167.78
Target Price = $202.95
Upside = 20.96%
In our latest deep dive below we estimated that the margin of safety sits around 15-20%.
Broadcom (AVGO)
From the above we can see that Broadcom is currently trading on a forward PE basis higher than the 5-year average with the yield lower than the 5-year average. Based purely on this model we see a sign of overvaluation.
However, when looking at Wall Street forecasts below we can see approximately 19% upside for this strong semiconductor company.
Price = $1,322.37
Target Price = $1,573.10
Upside = 18.96%
Our last review of Broadcom below showed between 15-20% for the margin of safety.

Wall Street also see a strong 29% upside for UnitedHealth Group over the next 12 months.

Price = $39.72
Target Price = $50.80
Upside = 27.90%
Intel (INTC)
Dividend yield theory gives us a sign of overvaluation however we need to incorporate the fact that Intel did have a dividend cut last year so the data will be slightly skewed. The forward PE is also trading substantially higher than the 5-year average.
Wall Street do see strong upside at 21% over the next 12 months.
Price = $37.20
Target Price = $44.88
Upside = 20.65%
Interestingly in our Intel episode above we believed it was trading at near fair value around $41, given the share price has dropped to $37 in today’s market the margin of safety sits around 10-15%.
Pfizer (PFE)
From the above we can see a massive sign of undervaluation based on dividend yield theory, although we note that the forward PE sits in line with the 5-year average.
Wall Street also see an attractive 20% upside for Pfizer over the next 12 months whilst also raking in that nice yield over 6%.
Price = $26.32
Target Price = $31.57
Upside = 19.95%
In our episode above from last week we saw a 15% margin of safety level.
S&P Global (SPGI)
SPGI looks reasonably valued based on both dividend yield theory and analysing the forward PE.
Wall Street also see a nice 17% upside for this high quality company.
Price = $424.04
Target Price = $497.60
Upside = 17.35%
Our latest review indicated SPGI had around a 10% margin of safety.

Wall Street also see a massive 25% upside for NKE over the next 12 months.
Price = $89.00
Target Price = $111.32
Upside = 25.08%
We reviewed Nike as part of 6 other stocks near their 52 week lows and it came out with a 15% margin of safety level.
