Stocks to sell

Election season is upon us once again. While nothing has been officially sewn up just yet, it appears that President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are overwhelming favorites to secure their parties’ nominations once again. Assuming this comes to pass, it will set up a rematch of the 2020 presidential election. As of

Earnings season continues to be hit and miss. Some companies’ Q4 results exceed Wall Street expectations, sending their stock soaring. Yet other stocks plunge on big misses and disappointing guidance. However, the companies that are failing to hit their targets and issuing weak outlooks for the year ahead seem to be missing by big amounts.

Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL,NASDAQ:GOOG) stock has been a phenomenal investment over the past decade returning double the S&P 500 on the back of search. Although cloud services are gaining more attention, advertising runs Alphabet. It accounts for 57% of total revenue and produces virtually all of the company’s operating income. While that has been driving

January has been a bit of a jumpstart for solid-state battery stock QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). The company, known for its batteries that can be charged 1000x without degradation, has short-term potential as a way for investors to ride rallies. But the long-term picture for QS stock appears to be blurry, and investors should this factor before

I read two articles recently about Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock that made me wonder if it’s a buy now, at its lowest point since June 2020. The first headline was, Could Nio stock rise 1,000% in 10 years? The second asked, Will Nio Be a Trillion-Dollar Stock by 2050? That’s pretty heady stuff. I definitely wouldn’t

Indeed, 2024 has effectively ushered in a topsy-turvy period for global supply chains. Major Panama and Suez Canal disruptions and escalating geopolitical tensions reshape decades-old trade routes. In particular, retailers are feeling the heat of these major upheavals, especially with the continuing attacks in the Red Sea. Those impact Suez Canal accessibility, a critical route

Inflation has come a long way, and cuts to the Federal Funds rate are expected for the latter half of 2024, but geopolitical tensions are hotter than they have been in a while. Geopolitical tensions between the United States and China, as well as renewed conflict in the Middle East, including the Israel-Hamas War and

Wondering if you should be selling your restaurant stocks in 2024? As we start the new year, market professionals look at the tea leaves and provide their outlook on how the rest of the year will unfold. According to Morgan Stanley, one of the growing concerns is a hard landing and a surprising recession due

Regulatory pressure on businesses in the technology sector has been increasing since last year. Rules on content moderation and payment activities appeared in the government’s supervisory agenda in several countries, while President Biden’s executive order on the safety and security of artificial intelligence has already been signed. Smaller companies are holding their breath, thinking that

The United States banking sector had been in the spotlight in the first half of last year, as a series of events shook the industry and the markets. In March 2023, a wave of bond selloffs triggered by rising inflation expectations caused massive losses for banks holding long-term debt securities. In April, several regional banks collapsed due

Artificial Intelligence (AI) garnered incredible attention in 2023 with the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other generative AI applications. What would later be dubbed the “AI craze” led to the rise of AI stocks with market-crushing returns — and some AI stocks to sell. Overall, AI-related stocks largely performed well last year. Still, investors need to seriously examine

In recent times, crude oil traded at highs of $95 in September 2023. However, as contractionary monetary policies impacted global growth, crude has declined. It’s unlikely that oil will witness further correction from current levels of $75. Therefore, it’s a good time to look at some of the best energy stocks to buy. Coming to

SoFi’s (NASDAQ:SOFI) competition continues to be strong, while its valuation is quite high and it is likely to be meaningfully hurt by actions taken by the Biden administration now and in the future. Given these points, I recommend that investors sell SOFI stock. Tough Competition On the consumer loan front, SoFi faces steep competition from

Anticipating the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approval of a Bitcoin (BTC-USD) ETF, the digital currency exploded from an October low of about $25,000 to a high of $49,954.  Investors were hopeful it would open the floodgates for retail and institutional interest. Instead, approval was met with an expected sell-the-news reaction. It sent Bitcoin

Bargain hunters, beware! The outlook isn’t great for electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock as the company’s 2023 production and delivery numbers weren’t stellar. Consequently, it’s too risky to go on a bottom-fishing expedition with beaten-down LCID stock. Besides, the EV industry is generally having a demand problem. Giant automakers like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) should be able to

As governments globally endorse and incentivise the adoption of electric vehicles, there is some big money to be made in the industry. Therefore, it’s not surprising that dozens of new companies have emerged globally with focus on EVs. Further, established traditional automakers are making big investments to accelerate the portfolio shift towards electric vehicles. So,

Since November, excitement about lower interest rates has boosted interest-rate-sensitive stocks like real estate investment trusts (or REITs). However, as rate cut enthusiasm cools, now may be the time to determine what REITs to sell. Yes, it’s not as if lower interest rates in 2024 are no longer on the table. A recent statement from

Tech equities in the United States sustained a jaw-breaking rally in 2023. The NASDAQ beat all other indices, rising more than 43% for that year. Stocks largely are not off to a great start in 2024. This is mostly due to the inflated valuations many stocks accrued toward the end of last year. However, while

The payments-processing space has become increasingly crowded in the 2020s. Along with that, PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) has the additional challenge of transitioning a new CEO and a new chief financial officer (CFO) into those roles at the company. Thus, I view PYPL stock as a “sell” as PayPal’s comeback is far from assured. And, if it happens at all, might

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock last year became one of the more popular AI plays out there. Compared to other top AI stocks, C3.ai is a considerably smaller enterprise. The stock has a market cap of just $3 billion, and this year the company should generate just $305.5 million in revenue. At the same time, this enterprise
