Stocks to sell

When it comes to the stock market, it can be a bit like a hurricane at sea: powerful, unpredictable, and capable of turning calm waters into chaos in an instant. Sure, stocks have been faring well all year long. In fact, the S&P 500 is up more than 27% so far in 2024 – making

Defense stocks have been on a tear in recent months, with many names hitting new all-time highs. The ongoing highly volatile geopolitical environment is primarily driving this surge. This includes the ongoing war in Ukraine and the increasingly unstable situation in the Middle East, particularly the conflict between Israel and Hamas, along with the involvement

Robotics continues to pique investors’ interest, and even more so as we enter a new age of artificial intelligence technologies. Automation has been a significant catalyst for the space. Whether we’re talking about manufacturing, logistics, surgical procedures, or everyday household tasks, robotics has helped to drive efficiencies and make life easier. From an investor’s point

Markets have yet to recover from the sudden dip they experienced at the start of the month, revealing how poor economic data can spook investors and impact stocks. The drop and rather slow recovery suggest investors remain cautious and may consider which stocks to sell now ahead of a potential trend resumption. The substantial rise

Like other electric vehicle stocks, Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has been pulling back over the past month. The electric van and truck maker’s latest quarterly earnings release has done little to drive a positive sentiment shift for Rivian stock. That’s not surprising. As seen from Rivian’s results and guidance, the auto sector’s current slump is likely

The tech sector has offered many opportunities to multiply money. Artificial intelligence (AI), e-commerce and online advertising are some of the tech avenues that have propelled corporations and indices to all-time highs. However, every sector is filled with bad apples that can hurt shareholders and leave them trailing the S&P 500. Some tech stocks look promising

Citi (NYSE:C) price target cuts often get outsized attention, especially considering the recent $6.4 trillion global stock market meltdown. The bank expects global GDP growth to drop to 2.2% in 2024 and then increase to 2.8% in 2025 under its “Slow Then Grow” thesis for 2024; Citi predicts the U.S. will lead the worldwide resurgence

How many times did we warn investors about Intel (NASDAQ:INTC)? Sometimes, buying dips can sink ships. Today, we’ll be generous and give Intel stock a “D” grade instead of an outright “F,” since Intel’s chip-foundry business could be highly valuable someday. For the time being, though, there’s no need to sit on a toxic asset and

It’s good to have friends in high places. That is certainly what Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) thinks. The Saudi Arabian government’s sovereign wealth fund Public Investment Fund (PIF) just injected the luxury electric vehicle maker with another $1.5 billion in cash, which gives it enough money to survive through the fourth quarter of 2025. Yet, it’s

As the digital landscape expands, so too does the complexity and frequency of cybersecurity threats. This has propelled the cybersecurity sector to unprecedented importance, turning it into a battleground for corporations and investors alike. The cybersecurity market is expected to expand to approximately $878 billion by 2034. This represents a robust CAGR of 12.6%. The

While the global industrial automation market is poised for a CAGR of 8.3% between 2024 and 2031, according to SkyQuest, it bears winnowing out the particulars of the market, including identifying robotics stocks to sell. With signals pointing to global economic slowdown and the reduction in capital expenditures, robotics investments may also suffer. Likewise, some

Investing in social media stocks might seem like a no-brainer. The social media market size was $219.06 billion in 2023, and by the end of 2028, it is expected to almost double. It reveals that the social media market has a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2% during that period. So, it only makes

The markets went through a phase where it was easy to make money. With macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds, we are now in a phase where stringent stock screening is needed. There will always be money-making opportunities, but investors must avoid purely speculative bets. In this column, I focus on the meme stocks to sell. An

It’s been a tough earnings season for tech stocks. However, few tech stocks can hold a candle to Intel’s (NASDAQ:INTC) horrendous post-earnings price performance. Trading in the mid-$30s per share as recently as a month ago, Intel stock fell by more than 26% right after a poorly-received earnings release and other negative developments. Since then,

Now might be a prudent time to consider selling these lithium mining stocks. The rapid expansion of lithium production, particularly in China, has resulted in a global oversupply. It should be noted that China is one of the key markets for lithium production, as the world’s surplus has been accelerated by lower-than-anticipated growth in the electric vehicle (EV) and

In today’s unpredictable stock market, investors must discern which stocks to sell to protect their portfolios. The focus here is on three companies facing significant challenges that suggest they may be candidates for the stocks to sell list. Each company experiences fundamental weaknesses that could impact its future performance. For instance, a player in the

The Russell 2000 index is a collection of the smallest 2000 stocks within the overall Russell index. It is a controversial pick for many investors. While it provides significant exposure to the small-cap market, it also carries with it some of the risk (and reward) small-cap companies hold. This means that it is much more

Wall Street pays significant attention to the technology sector as tech companies typically deliver substantial returns to investors. However, the volatile nature of this industry means that tech stocks can especially short-term experience downturns. This volatility is typically a result of macroeconomic factors, company-specific challenges and market sentiment. Recently, the First Trust NASDAQ-100-Technology Sector Index

August 2024 was supposed to be a period of great optimism for the cryptocurrency and blockchain landscape. Although the vast use cases of blockchain technology are growing way beyond the confines of crypto, the price of Bitcoin (BTC-USD) will invariably have a major impact on the performance of stocks in the industry in the short

If you’ve been paying attention, you know that tech stocks have been the rocket fuel propelling this bull market to dizzying heights. However, these high-flyers could come crashing back to Earth when the downturn hits. Many tech darlings have already suffered steep pullbacks. And if macros get worse, the pain for these overvalued names will
