Taking into account Moderna's insane run over the past two weeks, shares are up almost 1,700% since the end of 2019. Yet according to the lowest price target on Wall Street of $83, Moderna has the potential to shed 76% of its value.</p>\n<p>As you may be well aware, Moderna's popularity stems from its work in developing a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine.

For some context, this'll make mRNA-1273 the third best-selling drug in the world, behind only <b>AbbVie</b>'s anti-inflammatory Humira and the <b>Pfizer</b>/<b>BioNTech</b>&nbsp;COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2. Moderna will also be wildly profitable in 2021, with Wall Street's consensus estimate calling for $24.57 in earnings per share, or nearly $9.9 billion.</p>\n<p>However, Moderna isn't alone on the vaccine front. It's contending with Pfizer/BioNTech, the one-shot <b>Johnson &amp; Johnson</b>&nbsp;vaccine, which has EUA in the U.S. and Europe, <b>AstraZeneca</b>'s two-dose vaccine, and the strong likelihood that <b>Novavax</b>&nbsp;will be granted EUA for its COVID-19 vaccine, which produced roughly 90% vaccine efficacy in two large-scale studies.

While Moderna isn't pricey from a price-to-earnings perspective, most biotech stocks run into a brick wall when they hit six or seven times peak annual sales. Moderna is a bit above that level, as of this past weekend. While I'm not inclined to believe that $83 is a realistic price target in the near term, I do believe it's time to book profits on Moderna considering the uncertain competitive landscape and its lack of approved therapies beyond mRNA-1273.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/16ca48e46c5ed915bdfaeb115d44e553\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Shopify: Implied decline of 50%</h2>\n<p>Your eyes are not deceiving you -- that really says <b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP). Although the cloud-based e-commerce platform is a favorite among growth stock investors, one Wall Street analyst isn't a fan. The low-water analyst target of $825 would represent an implied decline in Shopify's stock of 50%.</p>\n<p>The most logical reason for Wall Street analysts to be skeptical of Shopify's upside would be its valuation.

Every single Wall Street analyst covering the company sees significant downside in shares of AMC, from the most optimistic analyst at B. Riley, whose price target of $16 implies 57% downside, to the most pessimistic at MKM Partners, which has a $1 price target on the company, implying a decline of up to 97%.</p>\n<p>Unlike Shopify, which looks to have a bright future, AMC's most bearish price target may eventually become a reality. That's because none of the data surrounding AMC adds up.</p>\n<p>Following multiple rounds of capital raises, AMC likely had in the neighborhood of $2.2 billion in cash during the second quarter. Keep in mind that, with the company losing a lot of money at the moment, this $2.2 billion will continue to dwindle throughout 2021.</p>\n<p>The bigger issue, though, is the $5.4 billion in debt that'll need to be repaid in the coming years. Since AMC has effectively maxed out its share issuances, and its army of retail investors keeps denying CEO Adam Aron the opportunity to raise additional capital, all future debt repayments will need to be in cash. With interest expenses doubling and the company $473 million in arrears on its rent, there's pretty much no way AMC meets its debt obligations based on its current trajectory. The company's plummeting 2026 and 2027 bond prices indicate bankruptcy is a very real possibility.</p>\n<p>The allegations of institutional/hedge fund wrongdoing from AMC's impassioned retail investors also doesn't add up. Despite these folks implying that nefarious activity is present via failure to deliver, dark pools, and short-selling, none of it has ever been substantiated. It's been my contention for weeks that social-media-driven misinformation from its retail investors has been the driving force behind this stock.</p>\n<p>Although it's not going to go down in a straight line, AMC is very likely going to be walked back to the mid-single digits within the next six months to two years. There's also zero guarantee that it'll survive the next five years. That makes it a stock worth avoiding at all costs.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>These Ultra-Popular Stocks May Fall 50% to 97%, According to Wall Street</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThese Ultra-Popular Stocks May Fall 50% to 97%, According to Wall Street\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-29 19:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/29/ultra-popular-stocks-may-fall-50-to-97-wall-street/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For more than a year, the stock market has been virtually unstoppable.
