Stability is great, but low-volatility stocks may struggle to deliver market-beating returns over time as they sometimes underperform during bull markets.

Luckily for you, StockStory helps you navigate which companies are truly worth holding. Keeping that in mind, here are three low-volatility stocks to steer clear of and a few better alternatives.

General Motors (GM)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.81

Founded in 1908 by William C. Durant, General Motors (NYSE: GM) offers a range of vehicles and automobiles through brands such as Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac.

Why Do We Think Twice About GM?

Underwhelming unit sales over the past two years indicate demand is soft and that the company may need to revise its strategy
Free cash flow margin shrank by 7.9 percentage points over the last five years, suggesting the company is consuming more capital to stay competitive
High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 5× increases the risk of forced asset sales or dilutive financing if operational performance weakens

At $52.63 per share, General Motors trades at 5.7x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than GM.

KB Home (KBH)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.50

The first homebuilder to be listed on the NYSE, KB Home (NYSE: KB) is a homebuilding company targeting the first-time home buyer and move-up buyer markets.

Why Do We Steer Clear of KBH?

Sales pipeline suggests its future revenue growth won’t meet our standards as its backlog averaged 20.8% declines over the past two years
Sales are expected to decline once again over the next 12 months as it continues working through a challenging demand environment
Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last two years, showing each sale was less profitable

KB Home is trading at $55.57 per share, or 7.9x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including KBH in your portfolio.

First American Financial (FAF)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.57

Tracing its roots back to 1889 when California was experiencing its first major real estate boom, First American Financial (NYSE: FAF) provides title insurance, settlement services, and risk solutions for residential and commercial real estate transactions across the United States and internationally.

Why Should You Sell FAF?

Insurance products are facing market challenges during this cycle, as seen in its flat net premiums earned over the last two years
Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last four years, causing its pre-tax profit margin to decline by 12.1 percentage points
Performance over the past five years shows each sale was less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 1.8% annually

First American Financial’s stock price of $60.25 implies a valuation ratio of 1.1x forward P/B. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why FAF doesn’t pass our bar.
