Low-volatility stocks may offer stability, but that often comes at the cost of slower growth and the upside potential of more dynamic companies.

Finding the right balance between safety and returns isn’t easy, which is why StockStory is here to help. Keeping that in mind, here are three low-volatility stocks that don’t make the cut and some better opportunities instead.

Hain Celestial (HAIN)

Rolling One-Year Beta: -0.25

Sold in over 75 countries around the world, Hain Celestial (NASDAQ: HAIN) is a natural and organic food company whose products range from snacks to teas to baby food.

Why Do We Pass on HAIN?

Core business is underperforming as its organic revenue has disappointed over the past two years, suggesting it might need acquisitions to stimulate growth
Forecasted revenue decline of 5% for the upcoming 12 months implies demand will fall even further
Sales were less profitable over the last three years as its earnings per share fell by 43.9% annually, worse than its revenue declines

At $1.55 per share, Hain Celestial trades at 3.8x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including HAIN in your portfolio.

Leggett & Platt (LEG)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.23

Founded in 1883, Leggett & Platt (NYSE: LEG) is a diversified manufacturer of products and components for various industries.

Why Is LEG Risky?

Products and services have few die-hard fans as sales have declined by 1.5% annually over the last five years
Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last five years, showing each sale was less profitable
Shrinking returns on capital from an already weak position reveal that neither previous nor ongoing investments are yielding the desired results

Leggett & Platt is trading at $9.21 per share, or 8.6x forward P/E. If you’re considering LEG for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

DXC (DXC)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.65

Born from the 2017 merger of Computer Sciences Corporation and HP Enterprise's services business, DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) is a global IT services company that helps businesses transform their technology infrastructure, applications, and operations.

Why Should You Dump DXC?

Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
Earnings per share have contracted by 11.5% annually over the last five years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance
Shrinking returns on capital from an already weak position reveal that neither previous nor ongoing investments are yielding the desired results

DXC’s stock price of $16.25 implies a valuation ratio of 5.1x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why DXC doesn’t pass our bar.
