Source: Shutterstock Investing in stocks is a great way to grow your money. However, it’s important to remember that there are times when it’s best to sell certain stocks. Stocks that have been consistently underperforming compared to others, or those that are no longer performing well based on past performance, are stocks to consider selling.
Stocks to sell
Be it blue-chip or growth stocks, timing the entry is critical. In the last 12 months, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock has corrected by 20%. It was among the stocks to sell with negative sentiments for the broad technology sector. The point I want to make is a good company might not always be a good investment.
Generally speaking, Americans consider themselves an optimistic bunch. As a result, the topic of stocks to sell can draw anger. And since I drew the short end of the stick, I have little choice but to broach this subject again. Despite the toxicities involved, however, it’s important to realize that not every enterprise will succeed.
In 2021, it may have been tempting to get caught up in the hype surrounding electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock. That hype didn’t help investors over the long run, however, and 2023 could be just as disastrous as 2022 was for Lucid as the company is selling plenty of shares, but not very many
If you’re looking for retail stocks to sell, you won’t have any luck following the meme-stock crowd. But, as Barron’s reported on Jan. 13, meme stock mania is back. As InvestorPlace’s Thomas Yeung points out, Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) gained 240% over the past week on the strength of a meme-stock rally. “My own analysis shows the value of firms like Bed Bath &
On Jan. 12, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) made its first big layoff announcement of the year. However, this layoff news did not elicit much of a reaction amongst traders in GOOG stock. Shares barely budged following the announcement. However, this is not surprising, given the limited nature of this layoff round. Cutting just a few hundred positions,
Video-game software specialist Unity Software (NYSE:U) stock represents a challenging business niche. The company is known for helping developers monetize their games. This might sound like it ought to be highly lucrative, but investors will likely uncover some problems with Unity Software’s financial data when conducting their due diligence. Unity Software is sometimes pegged as a
Source: Shutterstock Retailing is fine. Retailers are not. You can see it in malls, in strip malls, in downtowns large and small, even in mixed-use blocks. Empty space. As retail market share goes to online giants like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) or offline giants like Walmart (NYSE:WMT), fewer and fewer traditional chains can compete. Already in 2023,
Although the housing market soared through the first two years of the post-pandemic new normal, the challenge now is that the paradigm shifted, necessitating a discussion about real estate stocks to sell. Understandably, the topic of dumping publicly traded companies rarely sparks the warm and fuzzies. However, please note that this narrative centers on self-preservation.
Electric vehicle stocks across the board nosedived last year, and Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) was no exception. During 2022, LCID stock went from around $38.50 to around $6.83 per share. That’s a more than 82% decline in price. Recently, shares in the early-stage luxury EV maker have found support, at around $6 or $7 per share.
It’s funny, how Wall Street can have a very short attention span sometimes. When it comes to China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO), it’s fine to focus on the company’s most recent operational update. Yet, don’t be too hasty when trading NIO stock. The company still doesn’t have positive earnings, and Nio’s “prudent” warning about
With a rough 2022 spilling into 2023, we’re running into a broad list of stocks to avoid. Especially those in the tech space, where high-profile layoffs have picked up amid a severe slowdown in growth. In fact, some of the top tech stocks to avoid are those with absurd valuations, including a forward price-to-earnings ratio
In my last article on Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN), I argued that this electric vehicle stock appeared ready to crash. Not too long after that, RIVN stock entered “capitulation mode,” falling from the mid-$20s to the low-teens per share by year’s end. At first, it may have seemed as if this sell-off would come to an
There’s nothing wrong with supporting the vehicle-electrification movement. However, investors need to be cautious when it comes to QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). The company’s financials aren’t ideal, and QS stock could continue to slide as QuantumScape will need time – maybe months or even years – to fully commercialize its products. QuantumScape’s primary business is developing solid-state lithium-metal
Hope springs eternal, but the situation might be hopeless for investors of commercial electric vehicle manufacturer Cenntro Electric (NASDAQ:CENN). It’s entirely possible that CENN stock won’t even be listed on the Nasdaq before too long. Financial traders don’t need to invite problems into their lives, so it’s wise to steer clear of Cenntro Electric. Plenty of folks
Camber Energy’s (NYSEMKT:CEI) shareholders had a terrible 2022, marked by occasional pops along a persistent downward trajectory in CEI stock. This year probably won’t be any different, as Camber Energy’s strategy to avoid delisting isn’t a real, long-term solution. Besides, the company’s financials don’t seem to support Camber Energy’s massive spending plans. Therefore, prospective investors ought
Mullen Automotive’s (NASDAQ:MULN) days as a “meme stock” high-flier have long since passed, but MULN stock continues to attract attention from speculators. After declining by 94.5% last year, shares in the electric vehicle startup have seemingly found support at between 25 and 35 cents per share. Yet while some may be wagering that a big
After a rough year for investors in 2022, will it be all uphill for them in 2023? That will not necessarily be the case. As the factors driving the market lower over the past 12 months persist, plenty of stocks, including some names that have experienced huge drops from their highs, remain stocks to sell.
The video game industry has had a roller coaster year in 2022. After posting record-breaking sales during the pandemic’s peak, the economic reopening caused the gaming market to take a sharp downturn. Sales plunged over the first three quarters due to dwindling demand from an already fragile economy. Consequently, it was one of the worst
Back on Dec. 17, I argued why there was more disappointment ahead for Nio (NYSE:NIO). This additional disappointment has arrived quite quickly for NIO stock. Just ten days later, on Dec. 27, the China-based electric vehicle maker cut its delivery outlook for the current fiscal quarter (ending December). That’s not all. According to Bloomberg, NIO’s
