Stocks to sell

While the third-quarter earnings season has gotten off to an okay start, there have been a handful of ugly prints that raised eyebrows among investors. They also sent Wall Street analysts running to revise their future forecasts. Some notable names came out with disastrous Q3 financial results, hurting their reputations and sending their stock prices

Investors seem to be sliding down the wall of worry faster than they made a difficult climb. That usually means that investors will flee growth stocks in favor of income or value-oriented investments. With that in mind, it may be time to scan your portfolio for growth stocks to sell.   So what is concerning

Thanks to Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard on Oct. 14, Lululemon (NASDAQ:LULU) was chosen to replace it as one of the select S&P 500 stocks.  As is usually the case when a stock is added to the index, LULU stock gained 10% on the news since funds that track the index must

Understandably, the concept of stocks to sell is a controversial one in the capital market. Let me rephrase that in baseball terms. As a manager, how long are you going to stay with a starting pitcher that just doesn’t have it? When you give up five runs in the first inning? How about 10? What’s

It’s an old investing adage that investors should let their winners run. And that’s generally true. Historically, momentum has proven to be a powerful factor and stock prices that are in upward motion often tend to keep rising for a considerable length of time. However, there also comes a time for taking profits. At some

Investors encounter tough choices when it comes to EV leader Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). While I do think EVs represent the future and Elon Musk is widely-praised, the past two years have brought a reality check for growth investors. Indeed, TSLA stock can move in a direction that’s not up and to the right, evidenced by a

Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:BUD) closed its $113 billion acquisition [pg. 45] of SABMiller on Oct. 10, 2016, a little over seven years ago. In that time, BUD stock has lost approximately 58% of its value.  In 2015, Anheuser-Busch finished the year with $43.6 billion in revenue, while its normalized profit was $8.5 billion for a respectable

Without a doubt, electric vehicle charging station manufacturer ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT) has disappointed many investors in 2023. CHPT stock has been a poor performer this year, and prudent traders should cut their losses and move on. If you’re not convinced of this, wait until you get the details of ChargePoint’s recent capital-raising efforts. Sure, ChargePoint’s management might

The recent strikes by Kaiser Permanente workers speak to greater structural issues that threaten weaker healthcare stocks in general. It’s clear that healthcare firms are increasingly under greater pressure to improve working conditions. That pressure magnifies issues for firms overall. Such firms can either acquiesce to union demands or face a heightened risk of further

In 2020, global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) was in major trouble because of the Covid-19 lockdowns. Some AMC stock investors hope to participate in an epic comeback story. However, AMC Entertainment still has problems, and I don’t expect this movie to end happily. Meme stock traders haven’t focused on AMC Entertainment much lately. This

The fintech sector has grown substantially, with digital services like banking and investing gaining popularity. However, not all fintech stocks will thrive due to challenges like slowing customer growth and squeezed profit margins. Some have surged in value, making them vulnerable to sudden price drops. One fintech stock to avoid is Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD), a once-promising

Block (NYSE:SQ), formerly known as Square, definitely isn’t a “Magnificent Seven” stock in 2023. Indeed, SQ stock gets a “D” grade as it’s been a poor performer this year and has poor recovery prospects in the fourth quarter.Frankly, it requires an iron stomach to invest in Block with confidence. You have to be willing to withstand

While we eagerly wait for the electric vehicle delivery numbers and quarterly results, it is important to keep in mind that several companies will disappoint. There is a positive outlook towards EV stocks and governments across the world are offering incentives to increase the adoption of EVs but there is still a long way to

The stock market appears to be entering choppy waters as the year winds down. Between high inflation, unpredictable interest rates and an increasingly frightful geopolitical landscape, risk factors abound. So here are three stocks to avoid. Given this challenging investment environment, this is not time to be holding onto struggling companies that have seen better

While a contentious topic, investors seeking long-term success must frequently consider stocks to sell. Similar to changing the oil in a combustion-powered car, you’ve got to keep the overall machinery running well. Just like you (likely) don’t have an emotional attachment to motor oil, you must adopt a similar policy to underperformers. True, we live

Tech stocks, known for their high-risk nature, saw significant investments during the pandemic, with cheap money fueling tech and crypto for lucrative returns. However, as central banks tighten monetary policies, investors are cashing in their gains, leading to an expected decline in prices. In the realm of digital innovation, even the strongest companies may need

One of the big slogans favored by CNBC pundit Jim Cramer is, “There’s always a bull market somewhere.” I believe that’s true. But I think there’s also always a bear market somewhere. That’s because, even during good times, companies are always being hurt by new technologies, tough competition, and/or weak products. Additionally, there are always stocks whose

In recent months, Chinese electric-vehicle maker Nio’s deliveries and automotive revenues (NYSE:NIO) have been dropping sharply amid intensified competition from Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other automakers. Moreover, Nio lacks a significant competitive advantage, and the company’s new smartphone could hurt the automaker more than help it. Given these points, I advise investors not to buy or

In rough markets it’s important to keep and eye out for overbought stocks. Finding the right timing to buy and sell stocks will always be a sought-after skill by any investor searching for that holy grail. While I do believe that there isn’t one, I firmly believe that overbought stocks still provide signs of when

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) was once a highly promising business. However the near-term outlook isn’t great for LCID stock. Lucid Group might have visually interesting vehicles, but if it can’t sell enough, it’s going to be awfully difficult for Lucid to stage a turnaround in the fourth quarter. Furthermore, Lucid Group has ambitions in a country far
