Skillsoft
This company has attracted a ton of attention across Wall Street. Skillsoft Corp. (NYSE: SKIL) provides corporate digital learning services in the United States and internationally. Its enterprise learning solutions prepare organizations for the future of work, as well as enable them to overcome critical skill gaps, drive demonstrable behavior change and unlock the potential in their greatest assets.
In addition, Skillsoft provides various platform capabilities, such as open platform, custom channels and journeys, administrator-promoted content, and flexible assignments, tracking and in-depth reporting, training groups, and records management. Further, the company offers learning management systems and talent management software.
The company has seen a strong increase in insider buying over the last year, and with its current low price, more could be on the way.
Citigroup’s $4.50 target price compares with the $3.94 consensus target for Skillsoft stock. Shares traded on Friday at $1.90.
WeWork
This stock went from a bungled IPO to one of the most bizarre Wall Street stories ever. WeWork Inc. (NYSE: WE) provides flexible workspace solutions to individuals and organizations worldwide. The company offers workstation, private office and customized floor solutions, as well as various amenities and services, such as private phone booths, internet, high-speed business printers and copiers, mail and package handling, front desk services, off-peak building access, common areas and daily enhanced cleaning solutions.
The company also offers various value-add services and business and technical service solutions, including professional employer organization and payroll services, remote workforce solutions, human resources benefits, dedicated bandwidth and IT equipment co-location solutions. In addition, the company offers workspace management solutions, which enable landlords and operators to power flexible spaces and provide direct access to an established customer base. As of December 31, 2021, its real estate portfolio included 756 locations.
Having been restructured to a large degree, the “change the world” ethos once echoed by the founders has rolled back to the company being a real estate play.
BTIG thinks there is value and started coverage of WeWork stock late last year with a $7.50 price target. The consensus target is $6.58, and shares traded at $1.80 on Friday.
These are five stocks for aggressive investors looking to get share count leverage on companies that have sizable upside potential. While not suited for all investors, they are not penny stocks with absolutely no track record or liquidity.
