The stocks featured in this article have all approached their 52-week highs. When these price levels hit, it typically signals strong business execution, positive market sentiment, or significant industry tailwinds.
But not every company with momentum is a long-term winner, and plenty of investors have lost money betting on short-term fads. On that note, here are three overhyped stocks that may correct and some you should consider instead.
onsemi (ON)
One-Month Return: +14.3%
Spun out of Motorola in 1999 and built through a series of acquisitions, onsemi (NASDAQ: ON) is a global provider of analog chips specializing in autos, industrial applications, and power management in cloud data centers.
Why Does ON Fall Short?
- Products and services are facing significant end-market challenges during this cycle as sales have declined by 14.8% annually over the last two years
- Projected sales growth of 4.9% for the next 12 months suggests sluggish demand
- Costs have risen faster than its revenue over the last five years, causing its operating margin to decline by 17.7 percentage points
At $69.88 per share, onsemi trades at 23.8x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including ON in your portfolio.
Hyatt Hotels (H)
One-Month Return: +1.4%
Founded in 1957, Hyatt Hotels (NYSE: H) is a global hospitality company with a portfolio of 20 premier brands and over 950 properties across 65 countries.
Why Is H Risky?
- Weak revenue per room over the past two years indicates challenges in maintaining pricing power and occupancy rates
- Subpar operating margin of 5.3% constrains its ability to invest in process improvements or effectively respond to new competitive threats
- Poor free cash flow margin of 4.5% for the last two years limits its freedom to invest in growth initiatives, execute share buybacks, or pay dividends
Hyatt Hotels’s stock price of $163.99 implies a valuation ratio of 47.8x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why H doesn’t pass our bar.
Columbia Financial (CLBK)
One-Month Return: +13.5%
Founded during the Roaring Twenties in 1926 and headquartered in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, Columbia Financial (NASDAQ: CLBK) operates federally chartered savings banks in New Jersey that offer traditional banking services including loans, deposits, and insurance products.
Why Do We Pass on CLBK?
- Loans are facing end-market challenges during this cycle, as seen in its flat net interest income over the last five years
- Inferior net interest margin of 2.1% means it must compensate for lower profitability through increased loan originations
- Earnings per share fell by 1.9% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew, showing its incremental sales were much less profitable
Columbia Financial is trading at $17.99 per share, or 1.5x forward P/B. If you’re considering CLBK for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
