Stocks to sell

Biotech stocks have gotten caught up in the broader technology sector sell-off. The benchmark iShares Biotechnology ETF (NYSEARCA:IBB) has fallen from a peak of $175 in 2021 to just $130 today. There are few signs of a biotech stock bubble at this point. That said, even with the sector at an overall discount, that’s not an

Artificial intelligence has become one of the hottest stories of the decade, creating big opportunities for AI stocks. In fact, ever since the release of the AI chatbot ChatGPT, interest in the AI story has only gotten hotter, with top tech companies racing for a bigger piece of the AI pie. What makes the story

Identifying the worst-performing stocks in the current market can be challenging. Balancing long-term growth and short-term financial issues is daunting. We are entering a traditionally softer period for equities, particularly between May and October. Maybe this situation ought to prompt investors to consider stocks to sell now. Seasonal weakness plus economic headwinds could lead to

What does America’s central bank have to do with electric vehicle  battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS)? Actually, a lot. QS stock could continue to lose value this year because investors won’t keep throwing money at an unprofitable business. Sure, there was a time when companies with less-than-ideal financials attracted investors. Those days are probably in the

It may be time to sell some of the top energy stocks, especially as they become overvalued. Sure, according to the International Energy Agency, rising post-Covid demand from China, coupled with tight supply, suggests that a crude oil rebound is possible later this year. However, U.S.-driven factors such as debt ceiling uncertainty and continued interest rate hikes

As of the latest news at the time of writing, CNN reported that debt-ceiling negotiations broke down, which means that investors should at least consider stocks to sell before recession strikes. Sure, it’s possible that Democrats and Republicans can come together to prevent catastrophe. Even so, investors should also be aware of another problem: the

As we see governments making huge investments to achieve their clean energy goals, everyone is talking about a greener future. Electric vehicle (EV) companies are set to benefit, with several subsidies and tax credits available for them. However, it is also important to keep in mind that there is a looming fear of recession. EV

Block (NASDAQ:SQ) is facing an array of intense, ominous threats, and its shares are not exactly cheap. Given these points, I continue to recommend that investors sell SQ stock. The company is somewhat vulnerable to declines in the value of bitcoin, and Square’s involvement in cryptos exacerbates the chances that regulators will look to probe

The practice of short selling is highly controversial and under renewed threat from regulators and politicians who are considering a ban on the practice. Short selling is essentially when traders and investors bet that a stock’s price is going to decline over a certain period of time. These are generally companies that are widely-considered to

The U.S. economy experienced an unprecedented disruption over the past few years. Many sectors were caught up in the sudden stoppage of the economy in 2020, followed by an incredible boom thereafter. Housing stocks were among those that took part in this cycle, as people sought to upgrade their living conditions at record speed during

Snap (NYSE:SNAP) has gone from an up-and-coming name in the social media space, to arguably an “also ran” within the sector. This has resulted in a dramatic price decline for SNAP stock over the past two years. Late last month, a poorly received quarterly earnings report (more below) sent shares down to multi-year lows. However,

Many national governments have gotten on board with net zero emissions targets in the decades to come. Indeed, the clean energy transition is well underway, putting energy stocks at serious risk over time. Net zero goals are aimed at reducing energy-related carbon dioxide emissions to zero, in order to limit global temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Should dip-buyers consider investing in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) now? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the risk-to-reward profile isn’t ideal for QS stock in 2023. QuantumScape’s financials certainly aren’t favorable. In addition, it’s taking a very long time for QuantumScape to develop its multi-layered battery cell

I’d be the first to agree that Wall Street analysts are often wrong. Quite frequently, in fact, in the case of analyst downgrades, they focus excessively on minutiae, such as tiny “misses” (i.e., quarterly results that come in slightly below analysts’ average estimates) or a small decline in profit margins. And they often overlook or

Over the past eighteen months, shares in Cash App and Square parent Block (NYSE:SQ) have fallen in price by around 75%. With this, many investors may believe that the worst is already priced-in with SQ stock. But while Block’s valuation is a lot more reasonable today than it was in late 2021, don’t assume that

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) has fallen behind at least two of its key competitors in the race to launch electric-vehicle batteries that are superior to today’s widely used lithium-ion batteries. As a result, investing in QS stock is extremely risky at this point, QS can easily declare bankruptcy in the not-too- distant future, and I recommend that

Electric vehicle battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) might seem like a promising startup in a potentially hyper-growth niche industry. However, financial traders should maintain low expectations for QS stock in 2023. It’s a harsh reality to face, but QuantumScape’s financials aren’t ideal. Moreover, the company’s progress toward product commercialization is moving at a snail’s pace. QuantumScape

Energy stocks have a lot going for them. The world needs a ton of electricity and transportation fuels every day. Energy is inflation-protected, as prices tend to rise during unsettled periods such as we’ve experienced recently. And energy stocks sell at low P/E ratios while often offering high dividend yields. But investors shouldn’t lose sight of

We’ve all heard the adage, “Sell in May and Go Away,” but should investors in contemporary times target stocks to sell in the fifth month of the year? According to Corporate Finance Institute, under the original context, the British upper class would sell their securities in May so that they can relax and enjoy the

As any stock trading for under $5 per share is classified as a “penny stock,” admittedly sometimes this term can be a misnomer. However, this term accurately describes Ideanomics (NASDAQ:IDEX), as IDEX stock trades for literal pennies per share. At first glance, this early-stage electric vehicle company may seem a low-downside/high-upside opportunity. Especially as shares
