A highly volatile stock can deliver big gains - or just as easily wipe out a portfolio if things go south. While some investors embrace risk, mistakes can be costly for those who aren’t prepared.
Navigating these stocks isn’t easy, which is why StockStory helps you find Comfort In Chaos. Keeping that in mind, here are two volatile stocks that could reward patient investors and one that might not be worth the risk.
One Stock to Sell:
Fiverr (FVRR)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.26
Based in Tel Aviv, Fiverr (NYSE: FVRR) operates a fixed price global freelance marketplace for digital services.
Why Does FVRR Give Us Pause?
- Value proposition isn’t resonating strongly as its active buyers averaged 9.4% drops over the last two years
- Estimated sales growth of 5.4% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its three-year trend
- Highly competitive market means it’s on the never-ending treadmill of sales and marketing spend
Fiverr’s stock price of $19.68 implies a valuation ratio of 2.8x forward EV/EBITDA. If you’re considering FVRR for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
Two Stocks to Watch:
Bloom Energy (BE)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 2.33
Working in stealth mode for eight years, Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) designs, manufactures, and markets solid oxide fuel cell systems for on-site power generation.
Why Will BE Outperform?
- Impressive 19.1% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
- Free cash flow turned positive over the last five years, showing the company is at an important crossroads
- Historical investments are beginning to pay off as its returns on capital are growing
At $81.36 per share, Bloom Energy trades at 89.5x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
IonQ (IONQ)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 2.47
Founded by quantum physics pioneers from the University of Maryland and Duke University in 2015, IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) develops quantum computers that process information using trapped ions to solve complex computational problems beyond the capabilities of traditional computers.
Why Are We Fans of IONQ?
- Impressive 101% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
- Market share is on track to rise over the next 12 months as its 115% projected revenue growth implies demand will accelerate from its two-year trend
- Adjusted operating profits and efficiency rose over the last five years as it benefited from some fixed cost leverage
IonQ is trading at $46.40 per share, or 78.6x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free for active Edge members .
