Stocks to sell

The “Magnificent 7” refers to the group of the U.S. tech giants, including Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta (NASDAQ:META), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). All have seen their market caps increase recently as Big Tech continues to dominate the U.S. stock market’s landscape. However, three of the Magnificent 7 stocks are recommended as hard sells, for good reason.

U.S. stocks reached a new record high immediately following Wednesday’s Fed’s interest rate decision. As a result, it exposes some potential tech stocks to sell. The technology-heavy Nasdaq saw its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio soar over 30x, a feat not accomplished since the pandemic began. Its estimated forward valuation stands at 28.7x. At such elevated levels,

Prudent investors should stick to the game plan in 2024. That means that they should continue to find overpriced stocks to sell of companies that look fundamentally unsound. This may seem harder to do in 2024 as it looks like rate cuts will soon come. The point here is that cheaper money will soon be

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) faces quite the headwinds in the EV sector, in terms of both production and pricing. In 2023, LCID stock only delivered 6,001 vehicles with a three-time price cut to boost sales. December was even more disappointing, with just 2,391 cars. It’s no secret that Lucid is among the most troubled EV makers

The electric vehicle (EV) market slump continues to overwhelm EV producers worldwide. Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock is one of the up-and-coming China-based EV startups that has been gravely affected by weaker demand in the burgeoning car market. Nio’s share price has fallen nearly 33% on a year-to-date perspective. As the company continues to falter, investors who

With the growth of artificial intelligence and machine learning, you may be tricked into thinking that all tech stocks are big winners in 2024. But you’d be wrong, particularly when considering semiconductor companies. Plenty of struggling semiconductor stocks to sell quickly before they seriously damage your investment portfolio. The Semiconductor Industry Association says that global

Investors will always continue to chase weak stocks that are poorly rated for the chance at contrarian success. Yet, most times it is best to follow the herd when Wall Street repeatedly raises the warning flag on a given stock. That’s as true for Nasdaq stocks to avoid as it is for NYSE shares and

Stocks are at the mercy of many factors, and often, prices are just a poor earnings report or a negative headline away from a significant drop. There are times when nobody has any way of preparing. In many instances, however, early signs of trouble creep in. Sensible investors can identify potential issues from declining financial

With the stock markets consistently printing new record highs, it is prudent to consider whether it’s time to jump ship on some stocks surging too high, too fast. This is a logical line of inquiry, given the strong rise since marking a bottom back in October. The benchmark S&P 500 index has seen its price-to-earnings

March 20 is the first day of spring. Not only does the spring equinox usher in longer days, it also signals the start of the 162-game Major League baseball season. It makes me think of which sports stocks to buy and sports stocks to sell before the upcoming summer season. These companies benefit from our

Commercial real estate is in dire straits. Skeptics don’t have to look further than “The Monthly Dividend Company,” Realty Income (NYSE:O), a perennial favorite among income and REIT investors for proof. Shares in the top commercial real estate stock are down more than 11% since Jan. 1st with limited upside in sight. The reasons run

IBM (NYSE:IBM) has become one of the unexpected beneficiaries of ‘AI mania,’ with IBM stock hitting price levels not seen since the early 2010s. Shares in this blue-chip have surged over the past year, driven by strong quarterly financial results and a successful AI growth strategy. The market may be overestimating the AI boom’s impact

Earlier this month, we provided a warning to prospective investors of China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO). Now, we have more data on Nio, and the bearish argument is only getting stronger. We’re assigning a “D” grade to NIO stock and we don’t recommend buying it now. Nio can use all kinds of tactics, like trying to

If you’re wondering about which AI stocks to sell, look no further. With AI chatbots first going viral in 2023 many analysts have started questioning the hype cycle around AI. While generative AI has proven to shorten workflows around coding and stock imagery, price corrections could be on the way. There are certainly some negative

A spate of bad news (namely, a poorly received quarterly earnings release) knocked Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock lower last month. This month the market reacted positively to two early March announcements. The news is temporarily boosting the stock, maintaining it at $10 to $12 per share. So, this means investors now can slowly buy in

On the surface, electric-vehicle battery manufacturer QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) offers a seemingly bulletproof upside narrative. Since the get-go, range anxiety has impeded widescale adoption of EVs. Should QuantumScape be successful in developing its solid-state battery, it could alleviate concerns due to enhanced range, quicker charging times and safer profile. Thus, QS stock is a buy or

On Wall Street, you need any edge you can get, especially when it comes to deciphering which stocks to sell (and when). Some may turn to advanced solutions such as high-frequency trading algorithms. Others turn to oddball ideas, such as deciphering magazine covers. It’s not as irrational as it may initially sound. For example, sports

Dividends that provide a passive source of revenue for investors often seem great on the surface. Stocks with high yields can sometimes indicate a company’s instability or solely serve the purpose of attracting investors without offering sustainable returns. The three stocks we’ll introduce in this article have very high dividends but shaky financials and past

The Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), a fund largely composed of tech stocks, has soared 45% over the past year. And in some specific semiconductor and AI-related names, the gains have been parabolic. Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) has rocketed more than 1,000% over the past 12 months, to give one example. While the gains have

You can always count on me to appreciate a good dividend stock. Whether it’s the reliable payout, the earnings performance or revenue growth, great dividend stocks are something to cherish. But be careful not to let some scary, dangerous dividend stocks invade your portfolio. As rewarding as a great dividend stock can be, dangerous dividend
