Even though the Fed’s interest rate hikes flushed a lot of losers out of the market since 2022, a handful of stocks to short remain, against all odds.

Nio (NYSE:NIO) recently delivered solid 2023 delivery numbers and January performance. However, the market appears to remain relatively cold for this high-potential, high-risk Chinese EV maker. Geopolitical risks remain, and the fact that NIO stock is a U.S.-listed ADR provides its own set of headwinds. That said, the company is growing, and growing fast. And
Some stocks have been sitting on the sidelines amid this hot AI-driven market rally. Only time will tell when the market’s gains will broaden and help the year-to-date (YTD) losers; value-focused investors have a lot to love about the “left-behind” cohort.

Having gained almost 16,000% for early shareholders, there’s little doubt that electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) ranks among the most groundbreaking enterprises in business history.
