Volatility cuts both ways - while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains. This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors.

At StockStory, our job is to help you avoid costly mistakes and stay on the right side of the trade. Keeping that in mind, here is one volatile stock that could reward patient investors and two that might not be worth the risk.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Kohl's (KSS)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.26

Founded as a corner grocery store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Kohl’s (NYSE: KSS) is a department store chain that sells clothing, cosmetics, electronics, and home goods.

Why Are We Out on KSS?

1. Lagging same-store sales over the past two years suggest it might have to change its pricing and marketing strategy to stimulate demand
2. Sales are expected to decline once again over the next 12 months as it continues working through a challenging demand environment
3. 6× net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio shows it’s overleveraged and increases the probability of shareholder dilution if things turn unexpectedly

Kohl's is trading at $8.45 per share, or 32.6x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with KSS, check out our full research report (it’s free).

TPI Composites (TPIC)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.09

Founded in 1968, TPI Composites (NASDAQ: TPIC) manufactures composite wind turbine blades and provides related precision molding and assembly systems.

Why Should You Dump TPIC?

1. Offerings couldn’t generate interest as its billings have averaged 11.5% declines over the past two years
2. Eroding returns on capital from an already low base indicate that management’s recent investments are destroying value
3. Negative earnings profile makes it challenging to secure favorable financing terms from lenders

TPI Composites’s stock price of $1.26 implies a valuation ratio of 1.1x forward EV-to-EBITDA. If you’re considering TPIC for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

FTAI Infrastructure (FIP)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.72

Spun off from FTAI Aviation in 2021, FTAI Infrastructure (NASDAQ: FIP) invests in and operates infrastructure and related assets across the transportation and energy sectors.

Why Are We Fans of FIP?

1. Annual revenue growth of 33.3% over the past three years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
2. Demand for the next 12 months is expected to accelerate above its two-year trend as Wall Street forecasts robust revenue growth of 78.2%

At $6.47 per share, FTAI Infrastructure trades at 2.7x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
