Stocks to sell

The continued popularity of big tech and big data companies capitalizing on the mountain of growth potential from AI, creates high expectations for their stocks. However, not all are performing at market standard, and despite lingering high valuations from the AI wave, some slowdowns and consequent decreases in returns could be expected. These three big

Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) experienced an avalanche of a post-earnings sell-off late last month. Immediately after the Feb 28 earnings release, SNOW stock tumbled by nearly 20%. In the weeks that followed, shares in this cloud data company continued to slide lower, but admittedly have started to find support in more recent trading days. As the stock

There are plenty of names to include on any list of financial stocks to sell, but this is not only because of the latest news from the Federal Reserve regarding its plans with interest rates. As I’ve argued previously, “higher for longer” rates are bad news for financial stocks in two ways: reduced loan demand

The present and future of the internet is in cloud computing. This branch of computing is the backbone of digital transformation in modern enterprises. It enables businesses to access, store and process data and applications over the internet, rather than having to rely on in-house servers. Of course, not all cloud computing businesses have made

Most semiconductor stocks surged in 2024, but Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock hasn’t felt the love, down 7% this year and 18% over the past five years. Intel’s struggles include a diminished outlook and delayed construction for the company’s Ohio plant due to “weak market conditions.” This contrasts starkly with the extremely high chip demand seen across

Evidence continues to accumulate that Palantir’s (NYSE:PLTR) business is growing rapidly, driven by a significant amount of enthusiasm for its Artificial Intelligence Platform which facilitates the use of AI by large companies and government agencies. Nonetheless, AIP is facing tough competition which is likely to greatly rise over the longer term, likely causing PLTR’s growth

2023 was a bad year for EV stocks. Market headwinds, dwindling demands, and softening government support are beating down companies left and right. Combine that with overly aggressive spending and diminishing revenues, and we have a recipe for disaster. While growth over the long term is still in the cards for some of them, it

When the coming gains in a stock are “obvious,” watch out. Sure, it’s easy to envision more upside in Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) stock after its epic bull run. However, if short-term traders have already assumed the best-case scenario for Super Micro Computer, then they have already made the easy money and it’s time to

The “Magnificent 7” refers to the group of the U.S. tech giants, including Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta (NASDAQ:META), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). All have seen their market caps increase recently as Big Tech continues to dominate the U.S. stock market’s landscape. However, three of the Magnificent 7 stocks are recommended as hard sells, for good reason.

U.S. stocks reached a new record high immediately following Wednesday’s Fed’s interest rate decision. As a result, it exposes some potential tech stocks to sell. The technology-heavy Nasdaq saw its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio soar over 30x, a feat not accomplished since the pandemic began. Its estimated forward valuation stands at 28.7x. At such elevated levels,

Prudent investors should stick to the game plan in 2024. That means that they should continue to find overpriced stocks to sell of companies that look fundamentally unsound. This may seem harder to do in 2024 as it looks like rate cuts will soon come. The point here is that cheaper money will soon be

The electric vehicle (EV) market slump continues to overwhelm EV producers worldwide. Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock is one of the up-and-coming China-based EV startups that has been gravely affected by weaker demand in the burgeoning car market. Nio’s share price has fallen nearly 33% on a year-to-date perspective. As the company continues to falter, investors who

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) faces quite the headwinds in the EV sector, in terms of both production and pricing. In 2023, LCID stock only delivered 6,001 vehicles with a three-time price cut to boost sales. December was even more disappointing, with just 2,391 cars. It’s no secret that Lucid is among the most troubled EV makers

With the growth of artificial intelligence and machine learning, you may be tricked into thinking that all tech stocks are big winners in 2024. But you’d be wrong, particularly when considering semiconductor companies. Plenty of struggling semiconductor stocks to sell quickly before they seriously damage your investment portfolio. The Semiconductor Industry Association says that global

Investors will always continue to chase weak stocks that are poorly rated for the chance at contrarian success. Yet, most times it is best to follow the herd when Wall Street repeatedly raises the warning flag on a given stock. That’s as true for Nasdaq stocks to avoid as it is for NYSE shares and

Stocks are at the mercy of many factors, and often, prices are just a poor earnings report or a negative headline away from a significant drop. There are times when nobody has any way of preparing. In many instances, however, early signs of trouble creep in. Sensible investors can identify potential issues from declining financial

With the stock markets consistently printing new record highs, it is prudent to consider whether it’s time to jump ship on some stocks surging too high, too fast. This is a logical line of inquiry, given the strong rise since marking a bottom back in October. The benchmark S&P 500 index has seen its price-to-earnings

March 20 is the first day of spring. Not only does the spring equinox usher in longer days, it also signals the start of the 162-game Major League baseball season. It makes me think of which sports stocks to buy and sports stocks to sell before the upcoming summer season. These companies benefit from our

Commercial real estate is in dire straits. Skeptics don’t have to look further than “The Monthly Dividend Company,” Realty Income (NYSE:O), a perennial favorite among income and REIT investors for proof. Shares in the top commercial real estate stock are down more than 11% since Jan. 1st with limited upside in sight. The reasons run

IBM (NYSE:IBM) has become one of the unexpected beneficiaries of ‘AI mania,’ with IBM stock hitting price levels not seen since the early 2010s. Shares in this blue-chip have surged over the past year, driven by strong quarterly financial results and a successful AI growth strategy. The market may be overestimating the AI boom’s impact
