Stocks to sell

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL) exceeded Wall Street expectations in their latest quarterly results, driven by a surge in cloud revenue fueled by increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) services, Bloomberg reported. Alphabet’s shares soared up to 12%, marking its biggest gain since July 2015 and pushing its valuation past $2 trillion. Meanwhile, Microsoft rose

The Chinese stock market is brimming with exciting growth prospects, but also fraught with a number of pitfalls. This makes the case for investors to consider top Chinese stocks to sell in 2024. China’s economy saw a modest post-pandemic recovery, and reported GDP growth of 5.2% in 2023.  However, the IMF projects growth to be

Equities related to the once-burgeoning hydrogen market are largely worth avoiding in 2024. The demand for renewable energy, especially one as expensive to produce and transport as hydrogen, has been rather for well over a year. While the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has catapulted investment into the space, tax credits and subsidies have

The healthcare industry has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years due to the global pandemic. However, as COVID-19 began to ease, the immense growth of the healthcare industry is expected to slow down. Additionally, because many healthcare companies rely on trials that need FDA approval, predicting their individual healthcare company’s performance is difficult. These companies

Growth stocks can deliver impressive long-term returns for patient investors. This group of assets has the potential to outperform the stock market due to high revenue growth. Some of these corporations also exhibit significant net income growth or make progress with trimming their losses. However, a disappointing earnings report can change the entire narrative. A

Investors hoping that the worst is over for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) following the company’s first-quarter earnings might be in for a rude awakening. Tesla stock has rallied hard in the days since the electric vehicle maker reported its Q1 results, rising 20% in its best showing of the year. The rise in TSLA stock comes despite

U.S. equities posted some gains last week, which I’m sure was refreshing to see given the sell-off a week prior. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 2.7% and 2.2%, respectively. This brings their respective year-to-date gains up to 6.9% and 4.0%. Unfortunately, market risks still remain. Not only do we still need inflation to come down consistently, but

In the era of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), many retailers have gone bankrupt because they could not compete with the e-commerce juggernaut. And of course, the pandemic-era lockdowns causing many retailers to become saddled with gargantuan debt did not help. In just the last several years multiple, once major, companies have all gone belly up. The most

The Biden administration began with a great deal of enthusiasm around renewable energy stocks. Shares of firms in wind, solar, hydrogen and electric vehicles (EVs), among other green sectors, soared on hopes on significant government stimulus. And, for a time, that thesis played out. The Inflation Reduction Act was a landmark piece of legislation that

The stocks discussed below are all flashing various warning signs that alert investors to sell. Each of these three companies has initiated a reverse stock split in the past. Some have initiated several.  If you are unfamiliar with how reverse stock spits operate, this a quick explaination. Let’s say you own 10 shares of a

Michael Saylor isn’t just the chairman of MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR), he’s also a well-known cheerleader for Bitcoin (BTC-USD). However, Saylor sold more than 1,000 shares of MicroStrategy stock on March 20. MicroStrategy bills itself as the “world’s first Bitcoin development company.” I’m not quite sure if that’s true, but MicroStrategy could certainly claim to be the

The price war underway in the electric vehicle market is good for no one but especially not for Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock. Operating losses continue to expand as it continues to sell more vehicles at lower prices. Although lower starting prices should attract more buyers, it’s already the case Nio is losing money on every car

The road to full electrification still has a long way to go. The EV market has struggled since last year, and some companies have been forced to close their shops. The declining demand for EVs has created an ever-increasing list of EV stock nightmares to avoid. That’s why I looked at which companies are posing

The rapid ascent of e-commerce and shifting consumer shopping trends are fundamentally transforming the retail sector. As a result, brick-and-mortar stores are witnessing dwindling foot traffic, squeezed profits and fierce competition. Amid these challenges, choosing the correct brick-and-mortar retail stocks to sell is crucial for long-term portfolio protection. Boston Consulting Group forecasts e-commerce to seize a

BankRate recently noted that home prices in the U.S. continue to rise due to a persistent lack of housing supply, even amidst some of the highest mortgage rates seen in the last two decades. This ongoing price increase is driven by low inventory levels and robust demand, which outpaces the supply. Also, the article noted

A few years after electric vehicles seemed poised to dominate the automotive industry, the stock market has sharply turned. Now, investing in electric vehicle stocks is an exercise in pain tolerance. While Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) recent earnings commentary propelled the EV market higher (it certainly wasn’t the company’s numbers, which were abysmal), most other EV companies

There’s a general understanding among most financial analysts that defense companies provide significant portfolio stability during recessions. Indeed, these companies, especially defense companies with no commercial exposure, dip directly into the coffers of their countries’ governments. Thus, they are less subject to rising inflation costs and falling consumer spending. However, these bullish perceptions evaporate with

Despite some recent gains, Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) stock remains a risky bet and investors should steer clear of the stock. Right now, HOOD stock looks to be on the comeback trail. Year to date, the share price is up 39%. Robinhood’s stock has been rising due to increased trading volumes and record-breaking cryptocurrency prices. But

Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ:DJT) stock, the Donald Trump media project that recently went public to much fanfare, has the tumultuous nature of meme stock. Shares soared on their first availability, then plunged, but are starting to rise once more. None of it has to do with Trump Media’s financials. The company reported over

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock has failed to rebound. While the Nasdaq and S&P500 enjoyed a great rally at the end of Q1, SOFI shares had plummeted 26.6% over the same period. The poor share price performance is because of a worsening macroeconomic picture and SoFi’s decision to raise $750 million in convertible debt capital. SOFI has
