Three overvalued stocks trading near their 52-week highs are Laureate Education (LAUR), Butterfield Bank (NTB), and Darling Ingredients (DAR). These stocks may correct as they have sluggish trends in enrolled students, poor earnings per share growth, and low free cash flow margins. LAUR has a valuation ratio of 17.5x forward P/E, NTB is trading at 1.9x forward P/B, and DAR has declining revenue and earnings per share. Investors should exercise caution and consider alternative stocks.
