Rock-bottom prices don't always mean rock-bottom businesses. The stocks we're examining today have all touched their 52-week lows, creating a classic investor's dilemma: bargain opportunity or value trap?

Price charts only tell part of the story. Our team at StockStory evaluates each company's underlying fundamentals to separate temporary setbacks from structural declines. Keeping that in mind, here is one stock where the poor sentiment is creating a buying opportunity and two where the skepticism is well-placed.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Hain Celestial (HAIN)

One-Month Return: -17.7%

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?

Organic sales performance over the past two years indicates the company may need to make strategic adjustments or rely on M&A to catalyze faster growth
Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last three years, showing each sale was less profitable
Unfavorable liquidity position could lead to additional equity financing that dilutes shareholders

Hain Celestial is trading at $1.53 per share, or 7.1x forward P/E. If you’re considering HAIN for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Align Technology (ALGN)

One-Month Return: -11.8%

Pioneering an alternative to traditional metal braces with nearly invisible plastic aligners, Align Technology (NASDAQ: ALGN) designs and manufactures Invisalign clear aligners, iTero intraoral scanners, and dental CAD/CAM software for orthodontic and restorative treatments.

Why Does ALGN Fall Short?

Underwhelming clear aligner shipments over the past two years imply it may need to invest in improvements to get back on track
Day-to-day expenses have swelled relative to revenue over the last five years as its adjusted operating margin fell by 7.5 percentage points
Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

At $131.85 per share, Align Technology trades at 12.1x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than ALGN.

Bowhead Specialty (BOW)

One-Month Return: -12.8%

Named after the Arctic bowhead whale known for navigating challenging waters, Bowhead Specialty Holdings (NYSE: BOW) is a specialty insurance company that provides customized coverage for complex and high-risk commercial sectors.

Expected revenue growth of 22.1% for the next year suggests its market share will rise
Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 53.7% annually, topping its revenue gains
