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 are two volatile stocks that could deliver huge gains and one that might not be worth the risk.
One Stock to Sell:
PVH (PVH)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.99
Founded in 1881 by a husband and wife duo, PVH (NYSE: PVH) is a global fashion conglomerate with iconic brands like Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger.
Why Do We Steer Clear of PVH?
- Constant currency revenue growth has disappointed over the past two years and shows demand was soft
- Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital
- Stagnant returns on capital show management has failed to improve the company’s business quality
At $73.39 per share, PVH trades at 6.6x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including PVH in your portfolio.
Two Stocks to Buy:
FTAI Aviation (FTAI)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.68
With a focus on the CFM56 engine that powers Boeing and Airbus’s planes, FTAI Aviation (NASDAQ: FTAI) sells, leases, maintains, and repairs aircraft engines.
Why Will FTAI Outperform?
- Annual revenue growth of 50.5% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
- Earnings per share grew by 35.1% annually over the last two years, massively outpacing its peers
- Cash burn has become less severe over the last five years, showing the company is making some progress toward financial sustainability
FTAI Aviation is trading at $195.07 per share, or 13.5x forward EV-to-EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our full research report, it’s free.
ITT (ITT)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.23
Playing a crucial role in the development of the first transatlantic television transmission in 1956, ITT (NYSE: ITT) provides motion and fluid handling equipment for various industries.
What Makes ITT Stand Out?
- Annual revenue growth of 16.9% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
- Demand for the next 12 months is expected to accelerate above its two-year trend as Wall Street forecasts robust revenue growth of 23.1%
- Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last two years as its EPS has compounded at 17% annually
ITT’s stock price of $205.71 implies a valuation ratio of 23.1x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
