10 Stocks Battered by Bearish Outlooks

Ten firms ended Tuesday suffering a sell-off, as investor sentiment continues to be dampened by macroeconomic uncertainties and bearish outlooks from analysts and their management.

The stocks–three of which belong to the travel and tourism industry–registered losses following lower outlook guidance, taking into account the potential effects of President Donald Trump’s trade war with other countries.

The pessimistic sentiment mirrored the broader market decline, with the Dow Jones slashing another 1.14 percent during the day, the S&P dropping 0.76 percent, and the Nasdaq dipping 0.18 percent.

To come up with the list, we considered only the stocks with at least $2 billion in market capitalization and $5 million in trading volume.

10. Tractor Supply Co. (NASDAQ:TSCO)

Tractor Supply saw its share prices drop by 5.75 percent on Tuesday to close at $53.92 apiece as investors sold off positions to mitigate risks from the potential impact of the ongoing trade war on its business.

The company, which sells a range of products from pet supplies to home improvement, stands to hurt from expected price increases and supply chain disruption as a result of the ongoing trade war.

Other retail giants have already signaled earlier that higher prices would likely result in rising prices of products and could significantly impact profit margins.

Despite uncertainties, an analyst from Piper Sandler on Tuesday gave TSCO an “overweight” rating with a consistent price target of $65, saying that the firm is expected to benefit from the robust demand for backyard chickens which is targeted to contribute between 1 and 1.5 percent in sales in the first semester of the year.

9. Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT)

Clarivate dropped for a second straight day on Tuesday, losing 6 percent to end at $4.07 each as investors sold off positions amid the lack of fresh catalysts to boost buying appetite.

CLVT, a data and analytics company, has earned a generally pessimistic outlook from analysts.

Following its earnings results last month, nine analysts gave the company a consensus revenue target of $2.39 billion, representing a 6.5-percent decline from its full-year 2024 revenue.

The loss per share is expected to decrease in the future by 89 percent to $0.11 each.

Prior to its earnings outcome, analysts covering the company initially gave CLVT a revenue target of $2.55 billion and a loss per share of $0.054.

8. Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ)

Verizon snapped a three-day winning streak on Tuesday, losing 6.58 percent to end at $43.43 apiece as investor sentiment was dampened by expectations of lower subscriber count in the quarter.

At a conference organized by Deutsche Bank on Tuesday, VZ Chief Revenue Officer Frank Boulben said that the company expects soft subscriber growth after a challenging quarter, primarily due to growing competition coupled with the impact of price increases.

In a regulatory filing, gross new additions in the first quarter are expected to go flat or down from a year earlier.

Last January, VZ raised its prices for customers with five or more phone lines and those on older mobile plans that it no longer offers.

7. Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:SIRI)

Sirius XM declined by 6.93 percent on Tuesday to close at $22.70 apiece as expectations of softer advertising spending have weighed down on the company’s shares.

At a Deutsche Bank conference on Tuesday, SIRI Chief Finance Officer Tom Barry raised concerns on the lower advertising spending, saying that SIRI has been experiencing a recent pullback in advertising from consumer packaged goods and retail industries over the past few months.

Barry also feared that the lower ad activities could dribble down to other sectors amid the ongoing trade war between the United States and its trading partners, which could further impact profit margins.

SIRI, an American broadcasting company, derives a huge portion of its revenues from advertising. However, the past two years saw a lower number of subscribers for the company due to inflationary pressures.

6. Elanco Animal Health Inc. (NYSE:ELAN)

Elanco dropped its share prices by 7.04 percent on Tuesday to end at $10.04 apiece following news that it was being investigated by shareholder law firms for potential securities violations.

In separate statements, the shareholder law firms announced they had initiated their own investigations against ELAN for allegedly issuing materially false and misleading statements regarding its business, operations, and prospects.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed against the company claiming that ELAN failed to disclose that its Zenrelia drug was less safe that it led investors to believe, it was unlikely to meet the timeline for the US approval and commercial launch for its Zenrelia and Credelio Quattro treatments, and that its financial prospects were overstated.

ELAN has yet to issue a statement on the allegations.

5. Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE:DAL)

Delta Air fell by 7.25 percent on Tuesday to finish at $46.68 apiece after announcing a lower sales outlook for the first quarter of the year.

In a regulatory filing, DAL said it now expects first quarter revenues to rise by less than 5 percent year-on-year, down from its previous forecast of 6 to 8 percent.

Earnings per share forecast was also lowered to between $0.30 and $0.50 from its previous guidance of $0.70 to $1 apiece.

“The outlook has been impacted by the recent reduction in consumer and corporate confidence caused by increased macro uncertainty, driving softness in Domestic demand,” the company said.

In a separate comment on CNBC, DAL Chief Executive Officer Ed Bastian said that while he does not expect a recession under the new administration, the weaker outlook guidance was mostly based on dampened consumer confidence, saying that its customers are now pulling back on bookings.

4. Expedia Group Inc. (NASDAQ:EXPE)

Expedia Group retreated for a second day on Tuesday as investors repositioned portfolios following the dismal outlook guidance from the airline industry that dampened buying appetite for the travel and tourism sector.

During the last trading session, EXPE slashed its share prices by 7.28 percent to end at $163.75, tracking the bearish outlook for the industry by Delta Airlines, American Airlines, and Southwest Airlines, each lowering estimates for revenues, earnings per share, and seat miles following uncertainties brought about by the ongoing trade war between the United States and its trading partners.

Last year, EXPE registered a strong earnings performance in both the fourth quarter and the full year of 2024.

In its latest earnings release, the company said that attributable net income for the last quarter soared 124 percent to $299 million from the $132 million registered in the same period in 2023. Revenues, meanwhile, increased by 10 percent to $3.184 billion from $2.887 billion.

For the full year, attributable net income surged 55 percent to $1.234 billion from the $797 million registered in 2023, as revenues inched up by 7 percent to $13.69 billion from $12.389 billion year-on-year.

3. American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL)

American Airlines fell for the fourth consecutive day on Tuesday, losing 8.32 percent to end at $11.46 each as lower earnings estimates for the first quarter of the year weighed down on investor sentiment.

In a regulatory filing, AAL said revenues for the first quarter of the year are now expected to remain flat from the same period last year. Previously, AAL expected revenues to inch up by 3 to 5 percent.

Meanwhile, available seat miles were also expected to remain flat, as compared with its previous flat to 2-percent growth guidance.

“Since the Company’s initial first-quarter guidance issued on January 23, 2025, the revenue environment has been weaker than initially expected due to the impact of Flight 5342 and softness in the domestic leisure segment, primarily in March. First-quarter total revenue is now expected to be approximately flat versus the first quarter of 2024. Based on these updated assumptions, the Company expects its adjusted loss per diluted share to be approximately ($0.60) to ($0.80),” the carrier said.

2. Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ:TER)

Teradyne dropped for a second day on Tuesday, slashing 17.05 percent to finish at $87.07 each, following its revised and lowered guidance in response to the potential impact of President Donald Trump’s tariff threats.

In a presentation ahead of its Investor Day, TER said that it now expects second quarter revenue to be flat or lower by 10 percent from the first quarter of the year and up by between 5 to 10 percent on a full-year basis. Outlook for the first quarter, however, remained unchanged.

Meanwhile, TER expects earnings per share and revenues for the fiscal year 2026 to settle “at the low end of the previous 2026 earnings model.”

TER is an automated test equipment and robotics company whose clients include Samsung, Qualcomm, Intel, Analog Devices, IBM, and Texas Instruments, among others.

1. Asana Inc. (NYSE:ASAN)

Asana nosedived by 24.22 percent on Tuesday to end at $12.64 each as investors sold off positions following the resignation of its chief executive officer, and a weak outlook guidance for fiscal year 2026.

According to the company, its co-founder and CEO Dustin Moskovitz decided that he will step down from his post as soon as his replacement is named. He, however, will continue to be a member of the board and retain his shareholdings in the company.

For the first quarter of the fiscal year 2026, ASAN expects adjusted earnings per share of $0.02 on revenues of $184.5 million to $186.5 million.

The revenue outlook fell short of the $191 million as expected by analysts.

Meanwhile, ASAN said it also expects revenue of $782 million to $790 million for the full year, short of the $803.5 million analysts had been expecting.

While we acknowledge the potential of ASAN as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.

Disclosure: None. This article is originally published at Insider Monkey.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

The best part? You can discover everything about this company and its groundbreaking technology right now.

I’ve compiled everything you need to know about this groundbreaking company in a detailed, members-only report.

My name is Inan Dogan. I’m the co-founder and Research Director of Insider Monkey. I have an important message for you today.

Since March 2017, my stock picks have returned 16.5% annually. Today, I’ve found an opportunity even bigger than my British American Tobacco call.

Two years ago, Wall Street wrote off British American Tobacco (BTI) as a “melting ice cube.” The stock had crashed 40% from its peak, and consensus said the business was dying.

We looked under the cover and realized they were wrong.

We alerted our subscribers, and BTI returned 90% in just 16 months.

Now if you had invested just $10,000 in BTI in June 2024, you’d be sitting on $19,000 in October 2025.

Today, we have identified a nearly identical pattern in a digital-first giant trading at $3.

While the market panics over a surface-level revenue decline, our PhD-led research shows management has actually surgically cut $100 million in waste to focus on high-margin growth.

This pattern is a hallmark of our 16.5% annual return track record. The current opportunity offers a 400% upside potential—dwarfing even our 90% BTI return.

Get the ticker for our new “Underdog” pick and the full BTI case study for just 99 cents.
