Rock-bottom prices don’t always mean rock-bottom businesses. The stocks we’re examining today have all touched their 52-week lows, creating a classic investor’s dilemma: bargain opportunity or value trap?
While market timing can be an extremely profitable strategy, it has burned many investors and requires rigorous analysis - something we specialize in at StockStory. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock where you should be greedy instead of fearful and two where the outlook is warranted.
Two Stocks to Sell:
Molson Coors (TAP)
One-Month Return: -13%
Sporting an impressive roster of iconic beer brands, Molson Coors (NYSE: TAP) is a global brewing giant with a rich history dating back more than two centuries.
Why Are We Out on TAP?
- Falling unit sales over the past two years indicate demand is soft and that the company may need to revise its product strategy
- Efficiency has decreased over the last year as its operating margin fell by 37 percentage points
- Below-average returns on capital indicate management struggled to find compelling investment opportunities, and its shrinking returns suggest its past profit sources are losing steam
Molson Coors’s stock price of $36.05 implies a valuation ratio of 7.7x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including TAP in your portfolio.
Enovis (ENOV)
One-Month Return: -25.6%
With a focus on helping patients regain or maintain their natural motion, Enovis (NYSE: ENOV) develops and manufactures medical devices for orthopedic care, from injury prevention and pain management to joint replacement and rehabilitation.
Why Are We Bearish on ENOV?
- Sales were flat over the last five years, indicating it’s failed to expand this cycle
- Earnings per share fell by 9.5% annually over the last five years while its revenue was flat, showing each sale was less profitable
- Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value
At $18.53 per share, Enovis trades at 5x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than ENOV.
One Stock to Buy:
AppLovin (APP)

Sitting at the crossroads of the mobile advertising ecosystem with over 200 free-to-play games in its portfolio, AppLovin (NASDAQ: APP) provides software solutions that help mobile app developers market, monetize, and grow their apps through AI-powered advertising and analytics tools.
Why Is APP a Top Pick?
