Volatility cuts both ways - while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains. This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors.
At StockStory, our job is to help you avoid costly mistakes and stay on the right side of the trade. Keeping that in mind, here is one volatile stock that could reward patient investors and two best left to the gamblers.
Two Stocks to Sell:
Keysight (KEYS)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.53
Spun off from Hewlett-Packard in 2014, Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) offers electronic measurement products for use in various sectors.
Why Is KEYS Not Exciting?
- Product roadmap and go-to-market strategy need to be reconsidered as its backlog has averaged 1.8% declines over the past two years
- Earnings per share have dipped by 9.8% annually over the past two years, which is concerning because stock prices follow EPS over the long term
- Shrinking returns on capital suggest that increasing competition is eating into the company’s profitability
Keysight’s stock price of $162.19 implies a valuation ratio of 21.6x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including KEYS in your portfolio.
Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality (PRSU)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.36
With attractions ranging from glacier tours in the Canadian Rockies to an oceanfront geothermal lagoon in Iceland, Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality (NYSE: PRSU) operates iconic travel experiences across North America and Europe.
Why Are We Wary of PRSU?
- Annual sales declines of 16.4% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market
- Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital
- Push for growth has led to negative returns on capital, signaling value destruction
Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality trades at a stock price of $35.36. To fully understand why you should be careful with PRSU, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).
One Stock to Watch:
Globalstar (GSAT)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.52
Known for powering the emergency SOS feature in newer Apple iPhones, Globalstar (NASDAQ: GSAT) operates a network of low-earth orbit satellites that provide voice and data communications services in remote areas where traditional cellular networks don't reach.
Why Does GSAT Stand Out?
- Annual revenue growth of 16.3% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
- Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 55.5% outpaced its revenue gains
- GSAT is a free cash flow machine with the flexibility to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders, and its rising cash conversion increases its margin of safety
Globalstar is trading at $44 per share, or 37.9x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free for active Edge members .
