Stocks to sell

Utilities that generate the electricity we need in our daily lives are necessary. Whether the electricity is developed from traditional methods of burning fossil fuels or renewable sources such as wind, water, and sunlight, utilities serve a critically important purpose in communities around the world. But this does not mean that utilities make good investments.

As a new bull market emerges, plenty of industrial stocks are flying high. Yet while this may suggest the best move now is to buy industrial stocks, it may be better to sell industrial stocks instead. Why? Among higher-quality stocks in the industrials sector, the market may have overestimated how quickly economic challenges like inflation and interest

The aerospace and defense industry is one investors should pay attention to and possibly invest in to diversify their portfolios. Defense companies tend not to follow market volatility as much as other industries. This is an advantage in a market downturn. These companies tend to not be hit so hard compared to the overall market.

Not long ago, we warned investors about the problems facing electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID). Even if LCID stock catches a bid now and then, we’re still assigning it a “D” grade and a cautious outlook. Interestingly, Norway-based financial institution DNB Asset Management doubled its share position in Lucid Group. Does this mean you should go all-in

Real estate stocks are forming the perfect storm. First, the pandemic greatly reduced society’s desire to use various kinds of commercial real estate. Second, soaring interest rates have made it far more difficult for leveraged real estate owners to make good on their interest payments and debt refinances. Some firms will get through the disruption

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock has once again been a profitable trade for meme speculators, to the chagrin of its skeptics. The market reacted positively to the electric vehicle battery developer’s latest earnings release, sending QS stock nearly 40% higher. As I argued when the ink had to dry on the earnings release, the report itself was

Although crude oil had a strong run in July and is now trading back above $80 a barrel, the price has been largely trending lower since peaking at $122 per barrel in June 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. The decline is starting to show up in energy companies’ earnings. Most oil majors just announced their

Everybody likes Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock now – well, maybe not literally everybody. Nvidia’s position as a premier manufacturer of chips for artificial intelligence applications is notable. However, if the market is truly efficient, then the Nvidia share price should already reflect the company’s niche-market dominance. Besides, just consider the terrible resolution of the tech-stock bubble of the

Retail investors have jumped strategically on various cinema stocks over the past two years. The trend has capitalized on the surge seen in pandemic rebound plays, as well as the meme stock mania. Other factors, such as an improved movie slate, are considerations for speculators and investors looking at this sector. Thus, the recent releases

Healthcare stocks can include a wide range of industries and companies. While there’s real money to be made here, the sector is also full of quicksand just waiting to pull you and your wallet into the ground. The sector includes pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical device companies, health insurers and healthcare facilities. You also have specialized healthcare

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock faces significant challenges as its CEO plans to take on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), raising concerns for investors. Despite a recent partnership announcement with another automaker, Lucid Group’s stock remains risky and not a high-confidence pick.  The company’s public offering and move into China’s EV market raise concerns for long-term investors. That said,

There’s always something going on with Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock it seems. The China-based electric vehicle manufacturer likes to test the waters with new and unusual revenue-generating ideas. Yet, more isn’t necessarily better for unproven business ventures. Ultimately, NIO stock only earns a “D” grade as Nio refuses to stay in its lane and stick to its

Lone gone are the high times when EV stocks flew to the moon irrespective of the companies’ fundamentals. In 2023, the market’s landscape is quite different and Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock can’t thrive on hype alone anymore. Unfortunately, as the data will show, Lucid Group just hasn’t lived up to its potential lately. Lucid Group has

In my last article on QuantumScape (NYSE:QS), I discussed the recent rally with QS stock, and whether this rally was due to the possible unveiling of game-changing news in the EV technology company’s then-upcoming earnings release. Flash forward to now. QuantumScape’s latest results/updates have just hit the street. As of this writing, the earnings release

If you spend enough time in the stock market, you’ll inevitably run into consumer stocks. I like consumer stocks because they can be good buys during a robust economy. It’s also possible to find some undervalued consumer stocks when the market takes a turn lower because some consumer segments are less resistant to recessions –

Google the words “telecom layoffs,” and you get plenty of stories about industry job losses in the U.S. and Canada. That makes it very tough to decide the top telecom stock to buy and the top telecom stocks to sell. The iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF (BATS:IYZ) tracks the performance of the Russell 1000 Telecommunications RIC

The market for artificial intelligence chips is heating, and there are clear winners in 2023 so far. Unfortunately, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock isn’t one of those winners. Moreover, don’t assume that Intel’s capital position will improve quickly this year or even next year. The bull case just isn’t strong enough to recommend INTC stock right now. Sure,

It’s no secret that a few names have reached excessive valuations during the recent growth stocks rally. And so, they are overdue for a correction. Even if you think that AI will generate hundreds of billions in revenue within this decade, these stocks of AI-related businesses are trading far too ahead of the curve. Therefore,

While the stock market has performed well this year, the gains have not been spread broadly. Many well-known companies and underperforming blue-chip stocks have trailed the market’s performance and disappointed investors. Poor-performing blue chips reached their current predicaments due to several factors, such as declining sales, weak earnings, sour sentiment, and rising competition. Whatever the

The market outlook seems positive with the S&P 500 index closing in on a 20% rise year-to-date (YTD). While I expect the momentum to remain positive, I would be cautious with stocks that have witnessed a significant rally. Particularly, when those tempting stocks which saw rallies have become overvalued stocks to sell. The fear of
