While SoFi (NASDAQ:SOFI) is growing rapidly and should benefit significantly from the likely end of the student-loan payment moratorium in August, the company has important weaknesses and is facing threats that could potentially be very debilitating. Its weaknesses are its lack of profitability and the high interest rate that it’s paying on its deposits. Among
Stocks to sell
The Federal Reserve’s recent prediction of a potential recession in the United States this year has brought attention to a fresh batch of dividend stocks to avoid. These stocks may already be facing challenges, and a downturn in economic activity could be the catalyst that pushes them over the edge. Identifying these issues early allows investors to potentially rotate
After bouncing back strongly at the start of 2023, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock has traded sideways in more recent months. Currently at around $5 per share, AMC stock may look tempting, for risk-hungry investors bullish that the popular “meme stock” will soon resume making big moves. Unfortunately, while shares in the movie theater chain may
Investing would be a lot easier if you didn’t have to worry about underperforming stocks to get rid of. Wouldn’t it be great if stocks did what you thought they would do when you bought them? But that’s part of the game you play when you invest in the stock market. We can use tools, metrics
After spiking following GameStop’s (NYSE:GME) latest quarterly earnings release on March 21, GME stock has held steady in the low-$20s per share. Managing not to cough back its most recent gains just yet, some may believe that shares in the video game retailer have the potential to rise further from here. But while another “meme
With Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) facing multiple, likely insurmountable challenges, the retailer appears to be headed straight to bankruptcy. Given the tremendous volatility and unpredictable nature of the stocks of bankrupt companies, I recommend that all investors immediately sell BBBY stock. Among the seemingly insolvable problems that Bed Bath and Beyond is facing are an inability
You don’t have to look far nowadays to find overhyped EV stocks. Stakes are high in the electric vehicle space. Established automakers such as General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) are aggressively competing with a growing number of specialized start-ups. We’re even seeing some companies in the EV sector, such as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), cut
These are the worst EV stocks to own as the market reshuffles. The competition in the electric vehicle battleground has been heating up nicely, leaving many contenders in the dust. As established automotive giants such as Ford and others charge ahead with their respective EV lineups, the market seems to be drawing a line to
If you believe the situation can’t get any worse for Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID), think otherwise. At least, based upon the latest news with LCID stock. Last week, the struggling EV maker reported its latest production and delivery numbers. Saying the figures were disappointing is putting it lightly. Once again vindicating the bear case laid out
Because of the severe drawdown in Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) stock, it’s understandable if some shareholders are thinking about selling. If you’re in too deep as a Bed Bath & Beyond investor, it’s not a bad idea to reduce your position. After all, you don’t always have to stick with a company through thick and
The stock market has been off to a hot start so far in 2023. All four major U.S. stock indices are higher so far on the year, while the Nasdaq’s 15.75% return is more than double the next-best performer (the S&P 500). Still, there are some stocks that are losing steam and risk underperforming in
As our trusty authors have covered in detail, electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) just received what looks like a $110 million bailout. However, it’s an awfully flimsy lifeline for an automaker that’s in deep financial trouble. If you’re waiting around for MULN stock to recover, don’t hold your breath. It’s entirely possible that
Penny stocks are enticing as they offer prospects of multibagger returns. High degree of speculation across penny stocks is another reason that makes it attractive for investors. Big trading gains are a possibility at the blink of an eye. However, amidst the ocean of names, there are penny stocks to avoid as they can continue
There are plenty of risky dividend-paying stocks with company-specific issues that make them clearly dividend stocks to avoid, but there are also some names in this category where the reason to stay away is not so apparent. One such example is with shares in companies facing possible regulatory scrutiny. This regulatory scrutiny may threaten future
Companies in getting sued by customers are the dividend stocks to avoid. Shareholders who sue the company are less serious. In either case, they are still an unnecessary distraction that might cause management to lose focus. When the three-month treasury yield is 5.096%, investors could buy risk-free government debt instead of dividend-paying companies with legal
Don’t be fooled by high-yielding dividend stocks. Often, dividends are used to mask problems at a company in the same way that air fresheners are used to cover up putrid smells. Shareholders force poor performing companies, whose stock is tanking, to provide a high yielding dividend to attract and keep them. Without it, the share
Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) has made news in recent weeks, but there’s one relatively small development that could have a much larger impact on MULN stock than you’d think at first glance. Last month, Mullen sued an online tech publication, seeking damages related to statements made in an article from this publication, regarding the settlement of
Dividend stocks tend to be a strong equity subclass for investment in general. Most stocks that pay dividends tend to be stable because consistently returning earnings to shareholders is not always possible in weaker companies. That includes the companies listed as some of the top dividend stocks to avoid. Over time a healthy payout range between
While it’s always important to conduct your own due diligence in the equities arena, there’s great value in understanding which hedge fund stocks to avoid. Put another way, these are the stocks that hedge funds are unloading, which should inspire additional research. Fundamentally, if the enterprises with the greatest access to information don’t believe in
There’s a “good news, bad news” situation with global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC). The good news is that AMC Entertainment recently reported a heavy influx of moviegoers. On the other hand, the company’s financial situation is far from ideal, and AMC Entertainment is working hard to increase the number of AMC stock shares. AMC
