A stock with low volatility can be reassuring, but it doesn’t always mean strong long-term performance. Investors who prioritize stability may miss out on higher-reward opportunities elsewhere.

Luckily for you, StockStory helps you navigate which companies are truly worth holding. Keeping that in mind, here are three low-volatility stocks to avoid and some better opportunities instead.

Edgewell Personal Care (EPC)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.51

Boasting brands such as Banana Boat, Schick, and Skintimate, Edgewell Personal Care (NYSE: EPC) sells personal care products in the skin and sun care, shave, and feminine care categories.

Why Is EPC Risky?

Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
Sales over the last three years were less profitable as its earnings per share fell by 2.6% annually while its revenue was flat
Free cash flow margin shrank by 4.9 percentage points over the last year, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive

Edgewell Personal Care is trading at $19.82 per share, or 6.8x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why EPC doesn’t pass our bar.

Caleres (CAL)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.86

The owner of Dr. Scholl's, Caleres (NYSE: CAL) is a footwear company offering a range of styles.

Why Do We Avoid CAL?

Products and services aren't resonating with the market as its revenue declined by 3.6% annually over the last two years
Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital
Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value

Caleres’s stock price of $12.82 implies a valuation ratio of 5.8x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than CAL.

Sunrun (RUN)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.88

Helping homeowners use solar energy to power their homes, Sunrun (NASDAQ: RUN) provides residential solar electricity, specializing in panel installation and leasing services.

Why Is RUN Not Exciting?

Sales tumbled by 6.2% annually over the last two years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
Waning returns on capital from an already weak starting point displays the inefficacy of management’s past and current investment decisions
Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

At $19.87 per share, Sunrun trades at 33.3x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with RUN, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).
