2 WallStreetBets Stocks Under $10 Wall Street Analysts Predict Will Rally 39% or More

Not all WallStreetBets (WSB) stocks possess fundamental strength, with many of them advancing in price based solely on retail traders’ interest in them. Despite this, indeed perhaps in-part because of this, Wall Street analysts expect low-priced WSB stocks ContextLogic (WISH) and SmileDirectClub (SDC) to surge more than 39% in price in the near term. So, we think it could be worth adding these stocks to your watchlist.

While retail investors play an essential role in the stock market, institutional investors usually dominate this space. However, the 11 million-member subreddit WallStreetBets (WSB) surprised everyone by dominating the investment performance of GameStop Corp.'s (GME) and AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.’s (AMC) shares earlier this year, causing massive short squeezes in both.

According to a Digital Market News report, amateur investors now account for approximately 23% of all equity trading in the United States, compared to just 10% in 2019. And following the GME and AMC short squeezes, several other stocks skyrocketed in price on the power of retail investors. While not all WSB stocks possess fundamental strength, they do gain based on retail traders’ interest in them.

WallStreetBets stocks ContextLogic Inc. (WISH) and SmileDirectClub, Inc. (SDC), which are currently trading at below $10 per share, could be good additions to one’s watchlist. Wall Street analysts expect these two stocks to rally by more than 39% in the coming months.

ContextLogic Inc. (WISH)

San Francisco-based WISH is a mobile e-commerce company across Europe, North America, South America, and internationally. The company operates a Wish platform that connects users to merchants and provides them with marketplace and logistics services.

On October 4, 2021, WISH announced a partnership with the state-owned Spanish carrier, Correos. Alan Small, Senior Business Development Manager for WISH in Europe, said, “We are delighted to be working with one of the world’s largest and most respected logistics companies to expand our presence in Spain. Spanish merchants have a lot to offer, particularly when it comes to high-quality toys and electronics. This partnership aligns closely with our goal of working with more local suppliers on a global scale.”

WISH’s product boost revenue came in at $50 million for the second quarter, ended June 30, 2021, up 11.1% year-over-year. The company’s logistics revenue increased 125.7% year-over-year to $228 million. And its net loss came was $111 million, compared to $128 million in the year-ago quarter.

For its fiscal year 2022, analysts expect WISH’s revenue to be $2.22 billion, representing a 1.2% year-over-year decline. However, the company’s EPS is expected to increase 88.9% year-over-year in the current year. In addition, its EPS is expected to grow at a 53.9% rate per annum over the next five years.

Susan Greenspon Rammelt, Chief Legal Officer and EVP of Business Affairs at SDC said, “We are pleased the USPTO has acknowledged the novelty of our SmileBus concept by allowing this patent.
