Stocks to sell

AMC Entertainment’s (NYSE:AMC) second-quarter results strongly indicate it is being badly victimized by slowing consumer spending and the continued decline of the U.S. movie theater sector. Although AMC’s financial performance could improve somewhat in the medium term, the firm still in all likelihood won’t generate the strong profits needed to stave off eventual disaster for

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) may be down nearly 20% over the past month, but we wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that now’s the time to buy the dip. Mostly because of the wobbly foundation that’s currently propping up the Tesla stock price. Despite a bevy of troubles with its core electric vehicle business, TSLA continues to sport

Dividend stocks offer steady cash flow and the potential to generate long-term gains. However, “potential” is the key word, and some stocks don’t live up to expectations. While quarterly dividend payments are nice, they don’t mask underperformance. Some dividend stocks have trailed the S&P 500 for several years. While the yields are higher than most

Small-cap stocks had been on a dreadful performance streak. The iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSEARCA:IWM) had badly lagged the other stock market indexes as investors shunned smaller companies over the past year. This changed to a major degree in July as small-cap stocks finally caught a bid. With recent jitters in the AI and semiconductor

A few years ago, venture capital poured a lot of money into the plant-based foods market. At the time, the possibilities seemed bright. Particularly with younger more health-conscious consumers, it seemed like “better for you” foods could take major market share. However, fast-forward to 2024, and adoption has been much slower than anticipated. Major fast-food

With the recent global stock market rout fueled by sudden weakness in artificial intelligence companies, it’s an ideal time to consider offloading overhyped AI stocks. Few expected such a massive tumble at the stock market, but denying how overheated AI stocks had become is tough. AI has been the biggest investing theme over the past

After their recent sell-off, AI stocks are attempting to make a recovery. However, in the case of Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR), said recovery has seemingly already started. Last week, a pair of positive developments helped to send Palantir stock from the low-$20s, back on up to prices above $30 per share. Yet while investors in this

The artificial intelligence (AI) craze appears to be simmering down. For about a year and a half, technology equities valuations have ballooned as both institutional and retail investors have poured lump sums of capital into the burgeoning space of generative AI. With valuations as high as they have become, however, many investors are beginning to

As a tech reporter going back over 40 years, it’s incredible to be writing this. But can Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) survive? What was once the world’s dominant semiconductor power is a shell of its former self. It’s all there in the second quarter earnings report, which led it to lose 43% of its value in just

Super Micro Computers (NASDAQ:SMCI) stock was among the names that skyrocketed on artificial intelligence (AI) hype. In March, SMCI stock touched all-time highs of $1,229. There has been a deep correction from those levels for the AI-driven infrastructure solutions provider. Currently, SMCI stock trades at $540.98. However, I would prefer to stay away from SMCI

Meme stock traders might root AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock and its famous CEO, Adam Aron. However, it’s important for sensible investors to look closely at the actual data because there’s no reason to expect it to return to its 2021, 2022 or even 2023 price levels. Not long ago, AMC Entertainment refinanced $2.45 billion worth of debt. Some

Last week witnessed a sharp decline in major stock indexes following a disappointing jobs report that heightened concerns over a potential recession. This market downturn, highlighted by downgraded stocks, which was mostly evident on Friday, marked a deviation from the generally robust performance stocks had exhibited earlier in the year. Prior to this week, the

We knew Warren Buffett occasionally pared his stake in Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock, usually for tax purposes. But no one was prepared for him to slash his stake in half. The Oracle of Omaha revealed in his Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A, BRK-B) earnings filing that his stake in the tech giant had dropped to fewer than 400

The S&P 500 gives investors exposure to 500 corporations. The idea behind the large portfolio is that investors get exposure to the top companies in multiple sectors. If one stock does badly, the other 499 holdings can pick up the slack. If one sector is in a correction, the other sectors could theoretically minimize the

In some cases, a market downturn is an invitation to acquire shares of compelling enterprises at a deep discount. It’s akin to buying winter jackets in the summer at bargain rates. Yes, they may be last year’s fashion and they’re not relevant at the moment. Eventually, though, they’ll be worth their weight in gold. On

Recent concerns about the EV market’s downturn, driven by slowing sales and price drops, may be premature. The market’s evolution, with new players and changing consumer behavior, suggests that traditional valuation methods may apply to this sector to a greater degree. Indeed, many investors may be better off focusing on the growth of competition, emerging

Recession fears gripped the markets over the past week, sending tech and AI stocks into a tailspin. Even with stocks breathing a sigh of relief on Thursday over the latest round of jobs data, JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon still believes a recession could be in the cards. Investors should consider identifying overhyped stocks to sell, especially

Despite its high-profile debut, Trump Media & Technology (NASDAQ:DJT) has continued to report significant financial struggles. In Q1 2024, the company posted a $12.1 million operating loss, including $6.3 million for one-time merger payments. Even excluding these one-time events, overall losses remained high at $327.6 million, largely due to non-cash expenses. The company generated just

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) investors finally got some good news this year – an agreement with a famous automaker. Unfortunately, the positive news already is priced in to Rivian stock. Indeed, they probably went overboard with their buying spree. You also can’t afford to just ignore the U.S. presidential election, even though it doesn’t need to

The stock market is starting to lose steam. After a record run, equities have turned sharply lower over the past few weeks. The reasons are various including geopolitical worries, a financial shock in Japan, changes in the U.S. presidential election race and uncertainty around interest rate policy. Regardless of the precise cause, market volatility has
