6 Big-Name Stocks That Got Crushed This Year 4-26-25
Sat, 26 Apr 2025
In this episode, Scott Becker highlights six notable companies, including Moderna, Estee Lauder, and Jeep’s parent Stellantis, that have seen significant stock declines over the past year.
Chapter 1: Who is Scott Becker and what is this podcast about?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. These are six stocks that have plunged over the last year in big name stocks, at least relatively big name stocks. And we're not going to tell a lot of story behind them, but this will give you six stocks that have just really had a tough last 52 weeks.
Chapter 2: Which big-name stocks have plunged the most in the last year?
First is the vaccine maker, Moderna, which is down about 74% over the last year, just having a horrible time. Second is Acadia Healthcare, which keeps on seeming to get in trouble from either the government or lawyers and other types of things. They're down about 71% over the last year. Third is Stellantis Jeep. And again, my Jeep Cherokee, which I love, which is about a 21 model.
Chapter 3: What issues has Stellantis Jeep faced recently?
Recently, it had its battery replaced, but overall, I love the Jeep Cherokee. It's their second best-selling car of all time. The moronic CEO at Stellantis Jeep got rid of that in their line to go, you know, to diverge the line some, the Compass being their lower-end vehicle, the Grand Cherokee being their higher-end vehicle, but really screwed the pooch.
Chapter 4: How have Estee Lauder and American Eagle Outfitters performed over the past year?
They're down almost 63% over the last year. Estee Lauder, the makeup company, and the same thing is one of our closest family friends works at Estee Lauder, but they're down 61% the last year. American Eagle Outfitters, and I don't know anybody that shops there anymore. The Bloom is off the rose at AEO, down 52% over the last year. And finally, Oatly.
The oat milk people, I almost feel like somebody's oat milk's gone through its greatest phase in the greatness of the oat milk era. Somebody's got to make oat milk great again, but Oatly's down 40% over the last year. And again, really another example of a stock that is struggling and not where people would like it to be.
But again, those are six big names, just a couple of big names amongst them, Moderna, American Eagle Outfitters, Jeep, Oatly, Estee Lauder, Acadia Healthcare, that have just got crushed over the last year. Now, the good news is I don't own any of these names directly. And that's not because I'm some kind of genius. As we express regularly,
I do own Astero Labs directly, which I think is in the top number of stocks that are down 60% this year, year to date. So even doing worse than these stocks. So there's plenty of that. But the point is, these are six stocks getting crushed. I'm not an investor in them. I don't know that you should be either, but that's for other people to decide and talk about.
