1 Volatile Stock Worth Your Attention and 2 We Ignore

Market swings can be tough to stomach, and volatile stocks often experience exaggerated moves in both directions. While many thrive during risk-on environments, many also struggle to maintain investor confidence when the ride gets bumpy.

These stocks can be a rollercoaster, and StockStory is here to guide you through the ups and downs. Keeping that in mind, here is one volatile stock that could deliver huge gains and two that could just as easily collapse.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Intel (INTC)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.34

Inventor of the x86 processor that powered decades of technological innovation in PCs, data centers, and numerous other markets, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) is a leading manufacturer of computer processors and graphics chips.

Why Should You Sell INTC?

1. Annual sales declines of 7.3% for the past five years show its products and services struggled to connect with the market during this cycle
2. Performance over the past five years shows each sale was less profitable as its earnings per share dropped by 40.7% annually, worse than its revenue
3. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 34.9 percentage points

At $38.02 per share, Intel trades at 88x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why INTC doesn’t pass our bar.

WillScot Mobile Mini (WSC)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.98

Originally focusing on mobile offices for construction sites, WillScot (NASDAQ:WSC) provides ready-to-use temporary spaces, largely for longer-term lease.

Why Does WSC Fall Short?

1. Sales were flat over the last two years, indicating it’s failed to expand this cycle
2. Estimated sales decline of 4.9% for the next 12 months implies an even more challenging demand environment
3. Falling earnings per share over the last two years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term

WillScot Mobile Mini’s stock price of $18.28 implies a valuation ratio of 14.8x forward P/E. To fully understand why you should be careful with WSC, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).

One Stock to Watch:

BWX (BWXT)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.10

Contributing components and materials to the famous Manhattan Project in the 1940s, BWX (NYSE:BWXT) is a manufacturer and service provider of nuclear components and fuel for government and commercial industries.

Why Do We Watch BWXT?

1. Market share has increased this cycle as its 13% annual revenue growth over the last two years was exceptional
2. Demand for the next 12 months is expected to accelerate above its two-year trend as Wall Street forecasts robust revenue growth of 15.6%
3. Free cash flow margin grew by 16.9 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with

BWX is trading at $195.50 per share, or 49.1x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free for active Edge members .
