Hitting a new 52-week low can be a pivotal moment for any stock. These floors often mark either the beginning of a turnaround story or confirmation that a company faces serious headwinds.
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. That said, here are two stocks where the poor sentiment is creating a buying opportunity and one facing legitimate challenges.
One Stock to Sell:
C3.ai (AI)
One-Month Return: -16.8%
Named after the three Cs of its original focus—carbon, cloud computing, and customer relationship management—C3.ai (NYSE:AI) provides enterprise AI software that helps organizations develop, deploy, and operate large-scale artificial intelligence applications across various industries.
Why Should You Sell AI?
- Offerings struggled to generate meaningful interest as its average billings growth of 3.8% over the last year did not impress
- Bad unit economics and steep infrastructure costs are reflected in its gross margin of 51.8%, one of the worst among software companies
- Cash-burning history makes us doubt the long-term viability of its business model
At $11.67 per share, C3.ai trades at 4.5x forward price-to-sales. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than AI.
