Great things are happening to the stocks in this article. They’re all outperforming the market over the last month because of positive catalysts such as a new product line, constructive news flow, or even a loyal Reddit fanbase.
While momentum can be a leading indicator, it has burned many investors as it doesn’t always correlate with long-term success. On that note, here is one stock with the fundamentals to back up its performance and two best left ignored.
Two Momentum Stocks to Sell:
Okta (OKTA)
One-Month Return: +32.1%
Named after the meteorological measurement for cloud cover, Okta (NASDAQ: OKTA) provides cloud-based identity management solutions that help organizations securely connect their employees, partners, and customers to the right applications and services.
Why Does OKTA Worry Us?
- Average ARR growth of 11.8% over the last year has disappointed, suggesting it’s had a hard time winning long-term deals and renewals
- Estimated sales growth of 9.9% for the next 12 months implies demand will slow from its two-year trend
- Operating margin expanded by 4.9 percentage points over the last year as it scaled and became more efficient
Okta’s stock price of $190.15 implies a valuation ratio of 10x forward price-to-sales. If you’re considering OKTA for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
Revvity (RVTY)
One-Month Return: +28.8%
Formerly known as PerkinElmer until its rebranding in 2023, Revvity (NYSE: RVTY) provides health science technologies and services that support the complete workflow from discovery to development and diagnosis to cure.
Why Is RVTY Risky?
- Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 10.6% annually over the last five years
- Absence of organic revenue growth over the past two years suggests it may have to lean into acquisitions to drive its expansion
- Sales were less profitable over the last five years as its earnings per share fell by 15.7% annually, worse than its revenue declines
Revvity is trading at $146.56 per share, or 25.8x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than RVTY.
One Momentum Stock to Watch:
DHT Holdings (DHT)
One-Month Return: +18.5%
With each vessel capable of carrying roughly 2 million barrels of oil—enough to fill about 125 Olympic swimming pools—DHT Holdings (NYSE: DHT) operates very large crude carriers that transport crude oil across international routes for energy companies and traders.
Why Are We Positive on DHT?
- Market share has increased this cycle as its 6.4% annual revenue growth over the last ten years was exceptional
- EBITDA profits increased over the last five years as the company gained some leverage on its fixed costs and became more efficient
- Strong free cash flow margin of 28.8% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently
At $22.88 per share, DHT Holdings trades at 7.9x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
