In this episode, Scott Becker highlights five publicly traded companies experiencing significant downturns, including Novo Nordisk, UnitedHealthcare, Spotify, UPS, and Stellantis.
Chapter 1: What stocks are highlighted as struggling in this episode?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Business Podcast and the Becker Private Equity Podcast. Today's discussion is five stocks. taking it on the chin. So we're watching several different stocks that are really having a struggling day today. And we'll talk through just a few of those just really quick and give you the quick highlights, the quick sense of what's going on.
First, we've got Novo Nordisk, which we'll talk about in a separate podcast, down more than 20% as more and more competition comes to the GLP market and they cut their guidance for the year. Second, UnitedHealthcare down again, another more than 5% today. They're down 46% year-to-date. Things are getting tougher and tougher in the world of UnitedHealthcare.
UnitedHealthcare, of course, is the fourth or fifth largest company in the United States by revenues, so we're watching that. Third, Spotify, the podcast firm, down about 11% today, and more and more challenges in their business. Fourth, UPS down again about 10% today. We're huge fans of UPS. We use it almost daily. They've got a great UPS right near us here where we live. We love the store.
They're just a pleasure to work with, the very, very best. The fifth stock we'll talk about today is Stellantis Jeep. They just noted that they're going to take a hit of about $1.7 billion due to tariffs. Stellantis Jeep has been one of the worst-run companies for a very long time. So I sort of ā I don't mean to laugh.
Well, they blame their troubles on tariffs, and they've been just done performing so horribly over the last several years.
