Goldman also included the stocks its analysts feel are set for the most downside over the next 12 months, ranging from consumer staples like Clorox and Hershey to technology companies Juniper Technologies and Maxim Integrated Products.
For confectioner Hershey, Goldman analysts predict nearly 20 percent downside for its stock over the next 12 months.
The company has been facing scaling shipping costs, and mounting competition has threatened its market share in the U.S. Its fourth-quarter comparable sales were largely flat, though its North American revenue slipped 0.3 percent amid a decline in prices.
Analysts also see downside for ingredient and spice company McCormick, which said in January that it expects weaker sales growth and weaker earnings in 2019. Despite a 12 percent sales bump in 2018, the company said earlier in the year that it sees revenue growth between 1 and 3 percent this year.
Goldman sees the name sliding nearly 15 percent from a recent price around $149.
