Analysts are warning investors about the top stocks to avoid in 2025, according to a recent analysis by Investor’s Business Daily. Seven S&P 500 stocks have received “strong sell” or “sell” ratings from at least 16% of analysts covering them. This level of bearishness is rare, with only 4% of S&P 500 stock ratings holding such a low sentiment.
Garmin, Franklin Resources, and T. Rowe Price are among the top stocks to avoid in 2025, according to the analysis. Despite their strong performance this year, Garmin’s shares are expected to fall by 9% in the next 12 months. Franklin Resources is seen falling another 5.3%, while T. Rowe Price will decline by 2.9%.
Other stocks with significant sell ratings include Expeditors International of Washington and FactSet Research Systems, which are forecast to rise 0.9% and fall by 4.4% in the next 12 months, respectively.
The analysis only includes stocks with more sells than buys and highlights those with declining price targets. Investors taking these recommendations seriously may want to consider alternative investment options or reassess their portfolios.
