Market swings can be tough to stomach, and volatile stocks often experience exaggerated moves in both directions. While many thrive during risk-on environments, many also struggle to maintain investor confidence when the ride gets bumpy.
Navigating these stocks isn’t easy, which is why StockStory helps you find Comfort In Chaos. That said, here are two volatile stocks that could reward patient investors and one that could just as easily collapse.
One Stock to Sell:
EPAM (EPAM)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.16
Founded in 1993 during the early days of offshore software development, EPAM Systems (NYSE: EPAM) provides digital engineering, cloud, and AI transformation services to help global enterprises and startups modernize their technology systems and create digital products.
Why Does EPAM Worry Us?
- Constant currency growth was below our standards over the past two years, suggesting it might need to invest in product improvements to get back on track
- Free cash flow margin shrank by 7.3 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive
- Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up
EPAM is trading at $184.69 per share, or 17x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including EPAM in your portfolio.
Two Stocks to Watch:
Tecnoglass (TGLS)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.61
The first-ever Colombian company to trade on the NASDAQ, Tecnoglass (NYSE: TGLS) is a manufacturer of architectural glass, windows, and aluminum products.
Why Are We Positive On TGLS?
- Annual revenue growth of 17.5% over the last five years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
- Excellent operating margin of 27.3% highlights the efficiency of its business model, and its rise over the last five years was fueled by some leverage on its fixed costs
- Earnings per share grew by 43.8% annually over the last five years, massively outpacing its peers
Tecnoglass’s stock price of $84.40 implies a valuation ratio of 20.3x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
Rumble (RUM)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.64
Founded in 2013 as a champion for content creator rights and free expression, Rumble (NASDAQ: RUM) is a video sharing platform that positions itself as a free speech alternative to mainstream platforms, offering creators more favorable revenue-sharing opportunities.
Why Does RUM Stand Out?
- Impressive 38.4% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
At $10.26 per share, Rumble trades at 24.1x trailing 12-month price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
