Stocks to sell

Over the past year, it has become difficult to argue the bull case for Lucid Motors (NASDAQ:LCID). Sure, market conditions have been a big reason why LCID stock has fallen from $25 to under $10 per share during this time. However, a much larger factor has been the electric vehicle (or EV) maker’s inability to

Given the pressures we’re seeing in many areas of the economy, it’s no surprise that businesses are feeling the heat. That’s got us looking at a few stocks on bankruptcy watch. When it comes to investing, the dreaded “B-word” tends to evoke a strong reaction from investors. Suddenly, no one seems to want to own

Should you invest in used-car retailer Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) because a famous fund manager did? It’s fine to follow the trades of financial “whales,” but Carvana is a troubled business. After learning about the company’s financial and legal woes, you’ll probably choose to avoid CVNA stock. Carvana’s long-term shareholders have watched the value of their investment plummet since

After pulling back due to disappointing delivery numbers, shares in China-based electric vehicle maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) have found support at around $10 per share. Investors bullish on NIO stock may believe this is a great entry point. In their view, the stock could hold steady at these price levels, then zoom back later this year.

Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) COO Andrew Watterson appeared before a Senate panel on Feb. 9 investigating what happened in December that forced the airline to cancel thousands of flights, stranding passengers trying to get places over the holidays. Because of the debacle, between Dec. 1 and Dec. 28, LUV stock lost 20% of its value.  Fortunately

With their steady payouts providing the potential for strong long-term returns, dividend stocks make for great portfolio holdings, in both bull and bear markets. However, just like with any categories of stocks, there are plenty of dividend stocks to avoid. Many of these are so-called “dividend traps” or “yield traps.” These are dividend stocks that

Though the Federal Reserve’s aggressive actions against skyrocketing inflation delivered results, it may not be enough to spare all companies in the consumer discretionary space. Thus necessitating a discussion about stocks to sell. Keep in mind that this narrative doesn’t center on hating or bashing affected enterprises. Rather, investors just need to appreciate certain realities.

Scores of technology stocks have been hit hard in the past year, but Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) in particular has really taken a tumble. Over the last twelve months, XELA stock has plunged by nearly 99.6%. Investors who have held onto it since last year have likely written it off as a total loss. Yet with

Meme-stock traders on Reddit might be enamored with used-car retailer Carvana (NYSE:CVNA), but does this mean you should expect a sustained rebound in CVNA stock? Before jumping into a hasty trade, consider Carvana’s fundamentals. Then, you’ll probably decide not to take a share position. Sometimes, overeager traders will use any piece of news as an excuse

Finding stocks to sell that analysts are pessimistic about is a tough one. That’s because analysts are in the business of making their investment banking clients (or potential clients) look good. Consequently, you’ll often see many investment firms with hold ratings on particular companies. Of course, that indicates a negative view of a stock, but

A few weeks ago, it seemed as if “meme mania” for Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) was returning for an encore. As I discussed in my last article on LCID stock, thanks to an unconfirmed buyout rumor, shares in this electric vehicle (or EV) maker made a “to the moon” move, to as much as $17.81 per

Are we really back in a bull market? Not everyone is convinced. Many analysts, economists, and market commentators say the rally in equities in recent weeks is yet another bear market bounce, and we will soon see stock prices test new lows. Some commentators, such as famed investor Michael Burry, say that valuations remain too high and

On the heels of recent spy balloon incidents, tensions between the U.S. and China are again on the rise. What does this mean for shares in China-based EV maker Nio (NYSE:NIO)? Admittedly, not much. Sure, while it may serve to re-heighten past de-listing fears for NIO stock, for now, it does little to change the story

It’s perfectly fine to have a strong conviction in new-energy vehicles. However, this doesn’t mean you should invest in electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN). Sure, RIVN stock popped in January, but the likelihood of a long-term rally is low because Rivian will have difficulty gaining market share against its most powerful competitors. It’s not

At first glance, Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) might seem like a high-conviction business to invest in. Cautious financial traders should be wary of XELA stock, though. Exela’s fundamentals are subpar, and it’s possible that the company could be delisted in the near future. Texas-headquartered Exela Technologies specializes in a niche field known as business process automation (BPA).

As seen in recent headlines, investors have reacted unfavorably to Lucid Group’s (NASDAQ:LCID) plans to reduce the price of some of its vehicle models. To some, this may seem like a strange reaction, but a pullback for LCID stock due to this news appears to be appropriate. Unlike with the vehicle price cuts implemented by

If you bought Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) after its mid-January pullback, chances are you are sitting on moderate gains right now. Thanks to two factors, MULN stock has rallied from 28 cents to 38 cents per share, or by around 35.7%. While a nice gain in such a short span of time, I can see you

The stock market’s strong 2023 start is at risk of failing, suggesting that investors consider stocks to sell. Last week, the S&P 500 fell by 1.05%. The uptrend lost momentum when the index approached around 4,200. The market top could encourage investors to take profits. When strong momentum and positive sentiment lifted weak companies with

Earlier this year, electric vehicle battery manufacturer QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) seemed to be on the cusp of a comeback. QS stock was unstoppable for a little while, even though there was no company-specific catalyst. Reality could set in quickly, though, so it’s wise to maintain a safe distance from QS stock for the time being. To modify

For a while, it seemed as if Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) was invincible and invulnerable. AMZN stock just kept marching higher regardless of macroeconomic conditions. Now, however, the tide is turning. A huge share selloff, due to some alarming data points and a statement from the CFO, showed that Amazon has problems that won’t necessarily be resolved anytime
