Stocks to sell

Most analyst’s expectations of a challenging first quarter for the S&P 500 were on point. S&P 500 companies posted an earnings surprise by a minuscule 1.6%, the smallest since 2008. Accordingly, it’s no surprise that the operating performance of many top companies is unlikely to impress, given dwindling economic conditions. Hence, it’s perhaps the right time

With the tech sector selling off throughout 2022 and attempting to make a recovery this year, it may seem to some that now is the time to look for tech stocks to buy, rather than tech stocks to sell. However, while there may be a case to be made for buying back into FAANG components

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) isn’t the perfect business that some perma-bulls might have assumed it would be. The company’s results with its grocery and convenience stores, as well as with its voice assistant Alexa, have been underwhelming. Since AMZN stock flew very high for a decade or longer, on the presumption that Amazon is infallible, a prolonged pullback

Some folks might fantasize about being a meme-stock hero, but it’s a dangerous game to play. Before you consider buying Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) stock, be sure to conduct your due diligence on the company. In short order, you’ll find that Bed Bath & Beyond is a troubled brick-and-mortar retailer with major financial issues. As

Ahead of Rivian Automotive’s (NASDAQ:RIVN) latest quarterly earnings release late last month, I expected investors would use any negative news as an excuse to bail on RIVN stock. This prediction proved accurate. Although there was good and bad with the early-stage electric vehicle maker’s quarterly numbers, key elements of its updates to guidance underwhelmed. As a

Sometimes, it can be exciting to speculate on small businesses. Yet, the risk-to-reward proposition just isn’t favorable for Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) stock. Even though the company announced a round of funding, this doesn’t mean Exela’s shareholders should expect a comeback in 2023. Here’s the backstory. Texas-headquartered Exela Technologies specializes in business process automation (BPA). Because this

Artificial intelligence, or AI, has become the next big thing for technology investors. As traders have gotten tired of past themes such as cryptocurrency and Web 3.0, it was time for a new idea to take hold. And AI has done just that. Thanks to ChatGPT, people are getting their first real taste of the

Markets will exploit investors who are too patient and forgiving on companies that are the value traps. These companies mask as deeply discounted companies that appear to have plenty of margin of safety and low risk. Those stocks are cheap for a reason. Their business model lacks a meaningful catalyst that will turn its fortunes

After a spate of negative news, including missed interest payments and a possible delisting, Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) just recently had something relatively positive to tell investors. However, don’t expect this development to change the story with XELA stock. On March 6, Exela announced plans to improve its operating performance. While a step in the right

While it’s nice to think that every market idea we buy will become profitable, the harsh reality is that we’ll eventually come face-to-face with the concept of stocks to avoid. That’s not a bad thing. Much like our bodies take in the nutrients it needs and discards the stuff it doesn’t, so it is with

Will this be a turnaround year for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID)? Don’t count on a rebound, as the data indicates soft demand for Lucid Group’s vehicles. As Lucid struggles to compete with more famous and well-capitalized EV makers like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), financial traders should prepare for LCID stock to decline over the coming months.

Shares of China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) might look cheap, but are they really? NIO stock traders should exercise caution now, because Nio’s impressive EV-delivery figures aren’t bringing the company any closer to profitability. Not long ago, Nio seemed to struggle with its EV sales. The company’s 8,506 vehicle deliveries in January 2023 compared unfavorably to

Looking to invest in the “bot revolution”? New York-headquartered UiPath (NYSE:PATH) is an enterprise automation software maker, and this might tempt you to consider PATH stock. However, a thorough analysis into UiPath’s financials might cause you to think twice before taking a position. Robots and automation are all the rage now. OpenAI’s ChatGPT program has brought automation

Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) may have made some wild, “to the moon” moves in the past, but the days of speculative frenzy for BBBY stock are over, and are unlikely to return. With the moribund retailer’s announcement of a plan to stave off bankruptcy, through a dilutive capital raise, its fate is largely sealed.

Stocks to sell are those that are underperforming and not meeting investors’ expectations. Or, investors may sell stocks because they believe the stock’s future performance is poor. Other times, investors may want to sell the stock to minimize losses and invest elsewhere, or even free up capital. The following are three stocks to sell if you

Due to a combination of macroeconomic challenges and affordability constraints, investors should be aware of the real estate stocks to avoid. Admittedly, the contrarian narrative initially seems compelling. With publicly traded securities in the housing sector suffering steep losses last year, this year might offer an upside opportunity. For a brief moment, a sharp drop

Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ:RIDE) was mentioned on a number of financial media platforms but not for something positive. Indeed, onlookers might wonder whether there’s something fundamentally wrong with Lordstown’s electric pickup truck, which is called Endurance. Sorry to say it, but RIDE stock investors will need a great deal of endurance to ride

Based on recent price action with Carvana (NYSE:CVNA), a growing number of investors may be considering CVNA stock worthy of a buy as a contrarian wager. Although some may be approaching it as a short-term short-squeeze trade, many may be diving back in on the hope that it survives the current industry downtown. If it

Meme stocks, also known as Reddit stocks or social media stocks, have captured the attention of many investors over the past year due to their volatile price movements and popularity on online forums. While some investors have profited significantly from these stocks, others have suffered large losses. As we head into the end of the

Earnings season is coming to an end and, by all accounts, it was a disappointing period for corporate America. According to data from Bank of America, earnings for the final quarter of 2022 came in 0.1% below analyst forecasts at the start of earnings season. That was the worst quarter since Q1 202o and a
