Stocks to sell

In March, Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) stock was in the spotlight, and not in a good way. The company announced that $487 million, or around 26% of its cash position, was in SVB Financial’s (OTCMKTS:SIVBQ) now-defunct Silicon Valley Bank subsidiary. This left it as one of the most high-profile companies affected by the bank collapse. This, of

Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) recently announced major changes that might alarm some investors. Experts on Wall Street will undoubtedly have different takes on Lucid’s plans for 2023. However, the big picture doesn’t look bullish for LCID stock. Lucid Group has been unprofitable quarter after quarter, and the company only produced 7,180 vehicles last year.

The Nasdaq 100, which represents the largest growth companies in America, went up every single year between 2009 and 2021 with the exception of a small decline in 2018. This likely gave investors a false sense of confidence, but the past 18 months have flipped that narrative on its head. Since topping out in the

Is First Republic Bank (NYSE:FRC) stock a bargain just because is has cratered in 2023? Don’t be too eager to invest in First Republic Bank now. As the company struggles to deal with financial issues, its shares could actually be cheap for good reasons. As always, investors must understand the difference between price and value. Ask

Much like the internet defined the first 10 years of the 21st century, electric vehicles may be the story of the next decade. In 2020 and 2021, any stock with exposure to electric vehicles, no matter how tertiary, took off with the thought that this time would be different. But in 2023, this is a

Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW) (commonly-known as just Schwab) has been a reputable financial institution for many years. However, the recent banking crisis has taken a toll on SCHW stock. While Schwab probably won’t go bankrupt anytime soon, investors should still prepare for negative share-price pressure in the near term. The troubles that befell SVB Financial Group (OTCMKTS:SIVBQ) subsidiary Silicon

ESG stocks have become very popular over the past few years. This comes as investors are increasingly concerned about the environmental, social, and governance aspects of the companies they put their money behind. Thus, many companies have seized the opportunity to project the best possible image, to increase demand for their shares. The environmental portion

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock is once again moving lower, on the “news” a bearish research note from UBS’s Patrick Hummel. In the report, Hummel argues that the U.S. is on the verge of an automobile glut. With supply chain bottlenecks easing, automakers across-the-board are increasing production, even as demand is at the risk of cooling,

The energy sector had a blockbuster year in 2022, and actually turned out to be the best-performing sector overall. Thus far, 2023 has not played out well for investors in this sector, with energy stocks falling 4.23%, based on the S&P Global 1200 Energy index. Those negative returns contrast poorly with the broader S&P 500, which

While electric vehicles may be the future of transportation, I’m afraid these EV stocks to avoid might not make the cut. Fundamentally, as a burgeoning sector, the price for entry for arguably most consumers is simply too steep. With a smaller addressable market for a wide array of competitors, it’s inevitable that many if not

With the movie-theater sector continuing to face very tough challenges and AMC (NYSE:AMC) still carrying a tremendous debt load, AMC stock remains tremendously overvalued, and its long-term outlook is terrible. Theaters Are Still Struggling In line with my previous predictions, movie theaters are struggling, even though the coronavirus pandemic is in the rearview mirror. Since

Following last month’s banking crisis, investors are on the prowl for bargains among financial stocks. When searching for low-priced bank stocks on a screener, Ally Financial (NYSE:ALLY) stock is likely to pop up. Changing hands for around $25 per share today, this automotive-focused bank also trades at a sizable discount to its book value of

Identifying tech stocks to avoid is as important as discovering the next big winners in the current volatile stock market. After a turbulent 2022 for tech stocks, with the sector, most of the gains achieved in 2021, the first quarter of 2023 has brought a surprising turnaround. Outperforming the broader market, most tech companies have

We’re starting to see a shakeout in the electric vehicle (EV) sector as some automakers pull ahead and others fall behind. With established motor vehicle makers such as General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Toyota (NYSE:TM) spending billions to electrify their fleets, it’s getting harder for smaller start-up companies to compete. Plus, some of the bigger players, such as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) have slashed prices to

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most significant technological advancements of recent years. And it could very well have the potential to disrupt global industries. Granted, the potential multi-billion-dollar industry is exciting to watch, but it could also eventually and easily pose a threat to millions of jobs and industries. At the highest risk are

The discussion around artificial intelligence (AI) has taken a dark turn. In recent days, a number of well-known technology leaders, including Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) co-founder Steve Wozniak, signed an open letter calling for a pause in the development of generative AI that they say poses high-level risks to humans and society. The strongly worded letter stated:

When I last wrote about Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) earlier this month, I talked mainly about the struggling retailer’s recent financing transaction with Hudson Bay Capital Management, and what it meant for BBBY stock in the future. In a nutshell, I argued that Hudson Bay was making an asymmetric wager on favorable terms, yet

‘Fallen angel’ stocks, or stocks that have fallen far from their past highs, can be tempting as possible contrarian buys. Yet while there are sometimes diamonds in the rough among these names, for the most part, it’s best to consider them stocks to sell. Why? While Mr. Market may not get it right 100% of the

It may be tempting to invest in customer relationship management (CRM) software specialist Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) right now. Yet, caution is advised, as CRM stock isn’t a bargain at all. It will be difficult for Salesforce to live up to the company’s expectations, especially now that Salesforce is aggressively slimming down. At first glance, it seems like

Greg Becker, the head of Silicon Valley Bank, sold nearly $30 million in stock in the two years leading up to the regional bank’s collapse. As a result, CEOs selling stock are again back in the headlines. It’s not so much that investors are against CEOs selling stock. After all, we all have financial obligations
