In this episode, Scott Becker breaks down five stocks facing major losses today
Chapter 1: What stocks are getting crushed today?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. We're going to walk you through four stocks that are just getting crushed today and really an interesting day in the stock world. The markets overall are up some, but there's plenty of stocks that are getting hammered on earnings. We'll go through a couple of those.
Chapter 2: What are the struggles of Hanes Brands?
I'll talk first about two stocks that we're all sort of familiar with. Hanes Brands down about 17.5% so far today and Hyatt down about 12.5% today. Each struggling and each providing gloomy outlooks. I happen to love the Hanes brand's underwear and the t-shirts. I wear their black t-shirts religiously. I buy their boxer briefs. You get them $5 for $20.
Chapter 3: Why is Hyatt's stock down?
Maybe that's part of the problem with the stock. You get them so cheap and they're a pretty good product. But Hanes brand is just getting crushed today on their earnings. Hyatt also getting crushed down about 12.5% so far today. So those two getting crushed. A stock that I don't know very much about, but it's been all over the news today is the Trade Desk. And the Trade Desk is down 33%.
Chapter 4: What is happening with Trade Desk's stock?
That looks like the kind of holding I would have. So that's what's going on there. Then a couple other companies I'll mention. I told you we were only going to do four, but I'll give you one more. This is the fourth. British American Tobacco, also down 10%, nearly 10% on earnings misses.
And finally, fifth, Chicago hometown favorite, Zebra Technology Corporation, started by the Kless and Kaplan families 100 years ago. Maybe not that long, but just had a tremendous, tremendous run. Also down about 9%. Even though they did well on earnings and revenues, they provided a forecast that shows concerns about tariffs.
Those are five of the stocks that we're watching that are struggling today. Again, you've got Hyatt. You've got Hanes Brands. You've got the Trade Desk. You've got Zebra Technologies and British American Tobacco all taking it down the chin. God bless you. I hope that some people find this interesting. I find watching this market stuff to be just fascinating.
