<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Beyond Meat's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Beyond Meat's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.88%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

The new products are the company's meatiest, juiciest beef products yet, provide 21g of plant-based protein and are made with avocado oil, which offers heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, and helped lower the saturated fat to just 2g per serving &nbsp;
Consumers can find the new Beyond Burger and Beyond Beef, which are rolling out now in U.S. retail, by looking for the new eye-catching gold packaging
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., April 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYND#NASDAQ">BYND</a>), a leader in plant-based meat, today announced the launch of the fourth generation Beyond Burger&#xAE; and Beyond Beef&#xAE;, the most significant renovation in the company's history, at grocery stores nationwide. The new Beyond Burger and Beyond Beef, the company's tastiest and most nutritious yet, are an excellent source of protein – 21g per serving – and have just 2g of saturated fat derived from avocado oil, with no cholesterol or added antibiotics or hormones. The products' meatier flavor and taste were preferred over the previous version in consumer testing1, and feedback on the new burger overall has been overwhelmingly positive. Additionally, at a recent conference of registered dietitians, 94% of attendees2 said they enjoyed the taste of the new Beyond Burger, viewed it as healthful, and would recommend it.
"I'm so excited about the new Beyond Burger and Beef because not only do they taste incredible, but they're super nutritious. Beyond Meat has switched to heart-healthy avocado oil, which brings the saturated fat in the burger and beef down to just 2 grams per serving, and they've also reduced the sodium from the previous version and simplified the ingredient list. I feel proud to recommend these products," said Joy Bauer, renowned registered dietitian, #1 NYT bestselling author and Beyond Meat nutrition advisor.
Some of the key changes in the new Beyond Burger &amp; Beyond Beef:
<ul>
<li>Made with avocado oil – beloved by the nutrition community for its high levels of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats3, the shift to avocado oil helped reduce the saturated fat in the products by 60% to just 2g per serving (75% less than 80/20 beef)</li>
<li>Avocado oil's smoother, more neutral flavor also allowed Beyond Meat to unlock an even meatier, beefy flavor, and because avocado oil has a higher smoke point, the new beef is designed to sizzle and BBQ even better than before</li>
<li>Increased protein to 21g per serving</li>
<li>Added nutrient-dense plant-based ingredients including red lentil and faba bean protein</li>
<li>Simplified the ingredient list, including removing coconut and canola oils</li>
<li>20% less sodium vs. the previous version</li>
</ul>
"The beefier flavor and texture of our new Beyond Burger and Beyond Beef make them the perfect option to use in a wide variety of recipes. They caramelize and brown beautifully when cooked, and offer the juicy, tender culinary experience of beef. From backyard BBQs to family taco nights, we've designed Beyond IV to not only be our meatiest, juiciest yet but to also be quick and easy to prepare so that everyone can Go Beyond," said Diana Stavaridis, Senior Culinary Manager, Beyond Meat.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Have Beyond Meat Bonds Outperformed Shares?</h2>
Beyond Meat reported higher than expected revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023, yet suffered larger losses than anticipated. Following the earnings announcement, the company committed to significantly cutting costs and enhancing manufacturing efficiency. 
These efforts improved the outlook on the company&#8217;s ability to fulfill its debt obligations, boosting investor confidence in Beyond Meat&#8217;s survival prospects, rather than reflecting a true turnaround in its long-term profitability.
Following its earnings report, Beyond Meat saw an initial market enthusiasm with rises in both bonds and shares. However, while bond values maintained their upward trajectory, the stock&#8217;s gains quickly dissipated, reversing the post-earnings uplift. 
Since the beginning of the year, Beyond Meat&#8217;s zero-coupon bond, due to mature in March 2027, has seen a notable increase of 28%, contrasting with a roughly 6% drop in the company&#8217;s share price.

Beyond Meat Stock Is Falling After Hours: What's Happening?

Reddit Inc&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) upcoming initial public offering (IPO), expected on March 21, has investors bracing themselves for what could be a turbulent ride in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/reddit">the stock market</a>. 
What Happened: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37769049/reddits-ipo-sparks-huge-interest-targeting-6-5-billion-valuation-says-report">The news that Reddit&#8217;s IPO</a> is between four and five times oversubscribed has stirred both excitement and skepticism among market participants. For example, some Reddit users are drawing parallels to past IPOs like Rivian Automotive Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) and Beyond Meat Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYND#NASDAQ">BYND</a>). 
Both companies underperformed after their respective IPOs. 
Reddit is aiming for a $6.5 billion valuation — $10 billion less than the valuation it achieved for its last fundraising round in August 2021.

While some see the oversubscription as a bullish sign, others remain cautious, citing the prevailing negativity surrounding the IPO within Reddit communities. 
Despite concerns, there&#8217;s speculation that the social media platform could experience a surge in its stock price, fueled by the frenzy of retail investors eager to participate in a high-profile IPO.
We looked at responses as Redditors discussed the oversubscription and offered their insights on it.

One Redditor expressed confidence in Reddit&#8217;s potential, suggesting that the platform could defy expectations and soar in its market debut.

The sentiment among investors appears divided. While some are planning to capitalize on the IPO&#8217;s volatility through options trading, others are adopting a wait-and-see approach. 
Interestingly, Reddit&#8217;s decision to offer shares to its users has been hailed as a strategic move, tapping into the platform&#8217;s dedicated user base.

Tesla, Spirit Airlines, New York Community Bancorp And Other Big Stocks Moving Lower On Monday

Beyond Meat shares are trading lower after the company announced that it was unable to file its annual report due to technical difficulties in assembling the submission for filing. Also, the company said it anticipates it will seek to raise additional capital in 2024.

Beyond Meat, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Form 10-K") by the prescribed deadline of 5:30 p.m. (ET) on February 29, 2024 due to technical difficulties in assembling the submission for filing. The Company expects to file the Form 10-K as soon as possible, but no later than March 15, 2024, the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date of the Form 10-K.

Stocks, even fundamentally strong ones, can plunge for any number of reasons. The chances that fundamentally weak stocks plunge are much higher.&nbsp;Since the value of a company&rsquo;s shares is directly tied to both its business model and performance, lacking this stability poses a significant financial risk.



Moreover, the companies discussed in this article were once surrounded by much more optimism. As market trends shift, so too has public opinion around these companies. Today, these firms exist in former growth industries that have since seen their fortunes reverse. Others represent firms that gained fame due to the emergence of memes and meme stock mania. Regardless of their origin, investors would do well to avoid these firms.



Fundamental strength should be the primary determining factor when selecting investment-worthy stocks. Bearing this in mind, the firms discussed below represent some of the riskiest stocks to avoid.



<h2>ChargePoint (CHPT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/chpt1600-300x169.png" alt="Selective focus. Detail of ChargePoint commercial EV electric vehicle charging station on uncovered parking lot. CHPT stock"><div>Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Rewind a few years and ChargePoint (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/chpt-stock-quote/">CHPT</a>)&nbsp; stock looked like it was going to be a major winner. The firm even continues to operate one of the largest charging networks in the United States. Many assumed that its strong early position would allow the company to build an unassailable lead as the electric vehicle (EV) market boomed. However, that hasn&rsquo;t been the case.



The EV market continues to grow although at a stunted pace. ChargePoint, on the other hand, is contracting. <a href="https://investors.chargepoint.com/news/news-details/2024/ChargePoint-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Fiscal-Year-2024-Financial-Results/default.aspx">Revenues declined by 24%</a> in the fourth quarter, falling to $115.8 million. Margins concurrently fell by 3%. The combination of those two factors is overtly negative and should provide a strong enough basis for investors to avoid the stock.&nbsp;



The company has given guidance for positive EBITDA figures by early 2025. I strongly suspect that investors, many of whom have already been burned by <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/consumer-discretionary/automotive/electric-vehicles/">EV stocks</a>, are unwilling to move on that forecast. Furthermore, EBITDA doesn&rsquo;t include the effects of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization all of which contribute to overall net income. It&rsquo;s clear that the company does not expect profitability on a net income basis by that same time. Overall, these patterns are common among stocks to avoid owning.&nbsp;



<h2>Beyond Meat (BYND)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/bynd-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt=""><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Investors need only take a look at the <a href="https://investors.beyondmeat.com/news-releases/news-release-details/beyond-meatr-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2023-financial">most recent earnings report </a>of Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bynd-stock-quote/">BYND</a>) in&nbsp;order to understand why its stock is one to avoid.



The company lost $338.1 million in net income in 2023 as sales declined by 18%. Beyond Meat can&rsquo;t even figure out how to profitably manufacture and sell its plant-based burgers. That&rsquo;s evident in the $82.7 million gross loss incurred throughout 2023. The cost of sales is simply too high. That&rsquo;s a particularly bad problem and compounded by the fact that product sales have also dropped.



Things aren&rsquo;t getting better for the company either. During the fourth quarter, net loss reached $155 million. It continues to be crystal clear that Beyond Meat does not have a strong business overall despite being a prominent name in the plant-based meat industry. There is a certain irony given the fact that the <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2024/01/23/2814067/0/en/Plant-Based-Meat-Market-Valuation-to-Reach-USD-35-1-Billion-by-2032-Driven-by-18-5-CAGR-Market-us.html">forecast for that sector remains strong even in 2024</a>. Beyond Meat got into the right opportunity at the right time but for a variety of other factors couldn&rsquo;t make it work.&nbsp;



<h2>GameStop (GME)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/gme-stock-4-300x169.jpg" alt="An empty GameStop (GME) store in Dresden, Germany."><div>Source: 1take1shot / Shutterstock.com</div></div>GameStop (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/gme-stock-quote/">GME</a>) stock is no longer worth touching. That isn&rsquo;t to say that I&rsquo;ve truly ever believed that it was worth touching. I haven&rsquo;t. I continue to scratch my head at its ascendance but remain firm in my conviction that it will ultimately fail.&nbsp;



In my opinion, a lot of people who still have faith in GME stock convince themselves that recent profitability matters. The truth is GameStop&rsquo;s earnings were lower than anticipated although positive. Revenues were <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/gamestop-earnings-stock-price-489eef2e">more than $200 million lower than analysts had been expecting</a>. Yet, many fans of GME stock will point to the fact that the company did provide earnings. They will use that truth to substantiate an opinion that GameStop has some sort of ability to rebound.



I don&rsquo;t believe that&rsquo;s the case because GameStop is a relic of a dying era. The company lacks the digital strategy necessary to succeed in the current gaming environment. Game downloads rule, physical disc sales do not.

3 Stocks No One in Their Right Mind Would Own Right Now

Catalyst Watch: Tesla, Boeing and General Motors brace for earnings fireworks

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
With recent trends centered not only around the health of humans but of our planet and all its inhabitants, vegan diets are more popular than ever. Plant substitutes for meat are just the beginning as plant-based, vegan-friendly foods are becoming available in stores, restaurants, and public institutions like schools.&nbsp;As you may expect, companies that provide vegan-friendly food choices prosper, with veganism on the rise. These three vegan stocks to buy now represent a culmination of the vegan market through vegan-friendly food products and the technology that goes into making them.&nbsp;



We&rsquo;ll detail these stocks&rsquo; latest financial reports, their latest contributions to the vegan market, and their future potential, which makes them excellent buys for this quarter.



<h2>Beyond Meat (BYND)</h2>



Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bynd-stock-quote/">BYND</a>) is the largest and most well-known producer of meat-substitute food products. The typical vegan options available at stores and restaurants are likely Beyond Meat products. In March 2023, the company reported its products were <a href="https://investors.beyondmeat.com/news-releases/news-release-details/beyond-steakr-1-new-plant-based-meat-item-retail-now-available#:~:text=As%20of%20March%202023%2C%20Beyond,in%20over%2080%20countries%20worldwide.">available</a> in 191,000 retail and food service outlets in over 80 countries worldwide.



Beyond Meat saw a huge <a href="https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/BYND/beyond-meat/revenue">revenue</a> boom leading up to COVID-19, but after the economic slowdown, the company suffered and has yet to reach its historic heights again. The stock has dipped below the profit line, and the margin widened last year following a global operations review. However, Beyond Meat is by no means down for the count.



One primary reason for Beyond Meat&rsquo;s extensive spending this last year is the company&rsquo;s continued efforts in research and development, which allow it to stay ahead in the meat-substitute market. Beyond Meat recently launched the fourth generation of <a href="https://www.beyondmeat.com/en-US/press/beyond-iv-the-fourth-generation-of-the-beyond-burger-and-beyond-beef-debuts-at-grocery-stores-across-the-u-s-including-at-walmart-and-kroger">Beyond Burger</a>, one of its most popular products.



This product alone will undoubtedly be a huge revenue driver for Beyond Meat and the many other upcoming launches. Investors can take advantage of Beyond Meat&rsquo;s current low price and watch it grow along with the rising popularity of veganism.



<h2>Local Bounti (LOCL)</h2>



Local Bounti (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/locl-stock-quote/">LOCL</a>) offers investors interested in vegan stocks a unique opportunity. The company is a fresh, young agricultural tech company that is bringing innovations to the world of agriculture. One example of Local Bounti&rsquo;s tech is its patented &ldquo;<a href="https://investors.localbounti.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/65/local-bounti-receives-patent-for-stack-flow-technology">stack and flow</a>&rdquo; farming system.



Local Bounti&rsquo;s mission is to utilize technology to discover and adopt more sustainable farming methods. With stack and flow, the company claims to use 90% less water and 90% less land than conventional methods. In addition to the growing popularity of veganism, Local Bounti&rsquo;s goals align with the more modern focus on sustainability and eco-friendly technology.&nbsp;



Local Bounti released its earnings for 2023 in late March. The <a href="https://investors.localbounti.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/67/local-bounti-announces-full-year-2023-financial-results">results</a> were promising. Local Bounti reported a solid increase in production volume, with its Georgia facility producing 50% more packed pounds than in December 2023. Preliminary results for Q1 of this year also included a 22% revenue jump.&nbsp;



The report includes other promising details, such as the company&rsquo;s Texas and Washington facilities&rsquo; shipment start date in Q2. These facilities&rsquo; contributions will be accompanied by a reported $228 million confirmed <a href="https://investors.localbounti.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/67/local-bounti-announces-full-year-2023-financial-results">financing</a> for new projects this year.&nbsp;



Investors should take advantage of Local Bounti now while it is still under the radar. Massive financing and a Q2 shipping network expansion will certainly make this stock prosperous in the year ahead.



<h2>Mission Produce (AVO)</h2>



Mission Produce (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/avo-stock-quote/">AVO</a>) is one of the largest suppliers of Avocados and has a pervasive network with over <a href="https://missionproduce.com/news/mission-produce-launches-here-for-good-campaign-in-celebration-of-40-year-anniversary#">14,000 </a>acres scattered across the globe. Avocados are a trendy choice for vegans but are also used heavily to produce ingredients such as avocado oil, which is common in vegan cooking and other products.



Mission Produce suffered from the drop in avocado <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WPU01110205">prices</a> and production limitations caused by COVID-19. However, the company has been among the first to bounce back and restore its business to near pre-COVID levels.



Avocado prices are back on the rise and will undoubtedly mean great things for Mission Produce in Q2 and the rest of this year. So far this year, Mission Produce reported a <a href="https://investors.missionproduce.com/news-releases/news-release-details/mission-producetm-announces-fiscal-2024-first-quarter-financial">stellar Q1</a> with a 21% revenue increase and an adjusted net income of $6.7 million.&nbsp;



Avocados will always stay in style with veganism, so this stock represents a solid choice for investors looking to take advantage of this growing dietary trend.

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
As concerns <a href="https://unctad.org/news/global-economic-growth-set-slow-26-2024-just-above-recession-threshold">about a global recession grow</a>, it might be wise to consider divesting from certain Nasdaq stocks to sell. The Nasdaq is known for hosting a range of innovative tech companies. However, not all of these align with traditional market strengths. Specifically, some publicly traded companies on the exchange present a dual challenge: they are both high-risk and overvalued.



Given that the topic of selling Nasdaq stocks can be sensitive, I will focus this discussion on financial data. You might not agree with this analysis, and that&rsquo;s perfectly acceptable. Indeed, the diversity of opinions is what enriches the free market. The aim of this article is to highlight specific companies that exhibit fundamental weaknesses.



I considered these Nasdaq stocks to sell due to a mix of their free cash flow problems, debt issues, competitive weaknesses, and overall risky and unfavorable positions. We&rsquo;ve been on a historic bull market for the last couple of years. Furthermore, I think these companies will be the first to take a large hit when the market inevitably corrects itself.



So here are three Nasdaq stocks to sell for this month.



<h2>Canopy Growth (CGC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/cgc1600-300x169.jpg" alt="The Canopy Growth (CGC) website is open in an internet browser tab."><div>Source: Jarretera / Shutterstock.com</div></div>As my colleague Joel Baglole wrote recently, Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cgc-stock-quote/">CGC</a>) has been posting significant losses. Its stock price has been dramatically declining over the past years. Ongoing financial struggles and shrinking market share make its future uncertain&#8203;.



Looking ahead, <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/CGC/price-target/">analysts have a conservative outlook</a> on CGC&rsquo;s stock, with current price targets suggesting a potential downside. The consensus price target is around $4.87, indicating a 38% decrease from the current levels.



However, I think that things are worse than they appear for CGC.



CGC recorded nearly a billion dollars in losses over the last 12 months. It only has $140 <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/cgc/forecast/">million of cash</a> on its balance sheet. Furthermore, it already has nearly half a billion dollars of debt, too. The debt stands at $446 million, a huge sum for a company whose EPS has consistently been negative.



CGC has also undergone a massive shareholder dilution, with shares outstanding growing 70.58% year-over-year.



I think that even if CGC is somehow able to remain solvent, this dilution will continue at the expense or shareholders. At the minimumm its financial risk profile will increase, which then makes it one of those Nasdaq stocks to sell.



<h2>Beyond Meat (BYND)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/bynd1600-1-1-300x169.png" alt="Editorial photo on Beyond Meat (BYND) theme. Illustrative photo for news about Beyond Meat - a producer of plant-based meat substitutes. BYND stock"><div>Source: photo_gonzo / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bynd-stock-quote/">BYND</a>) has seen its stock price plummet as losses mount and sales continue to decline.



Analysts have taken a bearish stance on BYND, as it has a &ldquo;<a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/bynd/forecast/">Sell</a>&rdquo; consensus rating, and EPS profitability is not expected to be reached in the foreseeable future.



The full-year forecast is set at $315-345 million, <a href="https://dexwirenews.com/beyond-meat-nasdaq-bynd-q4-exceeds-expectations-2024-outlook-dampens-growth-prospects/">below the $343.8 million consensus</a>. Despite a steep 24.1% negative gross margin in 2023, BYND aims to reach mid-to-high margins in 2024, with improvements expected in the latter half of the year.



Significant budget cuts of $70 million are planned for 2024, alongside efforts to optimize its manufacturing processes and adjust pricing strategies to support margin expansion.



However, I&rsquo;m not sure this is enough to support BYND&rsquo;s business moving forward. It has less than two years worth of cash on its balance sheet per its current rate of cash burn, and already has more than one billion dollars worth of debt.&nbsp;



BYND has an interesting premise, but I think it&rsquo;s time for management to front up that it poses too much risk for investors to assume.



<h2>QuantumScape (QS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/quantumscape-qs-stock-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="The entrance to QuantumScape Headquarters QS stock"><div>Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.com</div></div>QuantumScape (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/qs-stock-quote/">QS</a>)&nbsp; involved in developing solid-state batteries for electric vehicles, has faced skepticism about its technology&rsquo;s viability and timeline



 QS has no revenue or earnings, and has around three years worth of cash on its balance sheet before it must raise capital again, assuming all else being equal.



The dream of QS is being kept alive by some very optimistic projections from Wall Street, this includes its revenue <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/qs/forecast/">surging to 1.38 billion</a> in FY2028, and a steadily improving bottom line.



The problem is that these predictions are incredibly optimistic. It&rsquo;s making a lot of assumptions about the viability of its business model, the success of its research team, the market&rsquo;s adoption of QS&rsquo;s solution, and so on. Normally assumptions are made on past data from sales and earnings, as well as other factors. But since QS lacks this history, what we&rsquo;re left with is essentially opinion and speculation.&nbsp;



There many moving parts to the QS stock thesis, and any one of those parts, including unforeseen one&rsquo;s going wrong can throw a spanner in the works severely, thus making it one of those highly risky Nasdaq stocks to sell, that are interesting nonetheless.



For 2024, <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/earnings-call-quantumscape-advances-in-solidstate-battery-development-93CH-3304573">QS plans to begin low-volume production</a> of its QSE-5 prototype batteries, with expectations to ramp up to higher volumes in 2025. The company anticipates capital expenditures to range between $70 million and $120 million for the year, with an adjusted EBITDA loss projected between $250 million to $300 million.&nbsp;

3 Nasdaq Stocks That Could Be Heading Six-Feet Under

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Volatility is rising in the stock market. Between the recent hot inflation data and mounting geopolitical tensions, investors are starting to reassess the broader economic environment. 



It seems that the Federal Reserve might not come through with previously anticipated interest rate cuts. This, in turn, has the potential to greatly reduce the speculative juices in the stock market. Throw in some softness in leading <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/artificial-intelligence/">AI stocks</a>, and the market&rsquo;s red flags are mounting.



Investors should be repositioning their portfolios accordingly. Some of the companies at highest risk today are those that have weak fundamentals. Rather, their shares have found support primarily due to meme trading, short squeezes and other such exogenous factors. 



But the stock market&rsquo;s bull run is now in danger. It&rsquo;s time to throttle back risk exposure, making it an opportune moment to sell these three <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/meme-stocks/">meme stocks</a> before they utterly implode like AMC Entertainment (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/amc-stock-quote/">AMC</a>).



<h2>Carvana (CVNA)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/cvna1600-300x169.png" alt="Carvana (CVNA) automobile dealership vending machine. Carvana is an online-only used car dealer."><div>Source: Ken Wolter / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Carvana (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cvna-stock-quote/">CVNA</a>) has had a breathtaking run over the past year with this stock rising approximately 700%. Simply incredible stuff. 



Unfortunately, there&rsquo;s scant little fundamental cause to justify a move of any such magnitude. Carvana, as a retailer with its unique car vending machines, has created a distinct marketplace for used cars. It also purchases used vehicles directly from individuals, sometimes at <a href="https://www.theverge.com/22923871/carvana-pandemic-used-car-prices-sold-online-chip-shortage">surprisingly high prices</a>.



If operated judiciously, this business model might be a winner. But, the issue is that the firm is incredibly levered and barely profitable. In fact, it had to fight off <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/02/carvana-leaner-and-ready-for-wall-street-redemption.html">bankruptcy concerns</a> not too long ago. Carvana barely squeezed out a small profit last year despite an exceptionally favorable car market and elevated levels of consumer spending.



Given high interest rates and the potential for significantly declining consumer discretionary spending, it seems Carvana probably has already enjoyed the best market conditions it could hope for. If it couldn&rsquo;t squirrel away large profits when the sun was shining, a storm could devastate the firm. Things are likely to get worse from here, and analysts agree. They model Carvana falling back into <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CVNA/earnings/estimates">loss-making territory</a> this year. Furthermore, analysts expect Carvana to generate large losses in 2025 and 2026 as well.



In addition, the stock has been bolstered by a massive short squeeze. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVNA/short-interest">32% of the float</a> has been sold short and that&rsquo;s rocket fuel on the way up. But this factor could lead to an equally rapid descent when momentum runs in reverse. 



<h2>Beyond Meat (BYND)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/bynd1600-300x169.png" alt="Person holding mobile phone with logo of American meat substitute company Beyond Meat Inc. (BYND) on screen in front of web page. Focus on phone display. Unmodified photo."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Years ago, Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bynd-stock-quote/">BYND</a>) was a hot new IPO that sought to revolutionize the protein market. Many people thought plant-based burgers and sausages would be a serious competitive threat to traditional animal meats as time went on. 



This is becoming increasingly less likely. Beyond Meat&rsquo;s partnerships with restaurants largely <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/28/beyond-meat-stock-falls-after-conclusion-of-mcdonalds-mcplant-test.html">failed</a> to move the needle. Sales at grocery stores have also <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/restaurants/beyond-meat-responds-to-low-sales-and-customers-may-not-like-it">declined</a> as Beyond Meat has struggled to find traction outside of its dedicated, but small, vegan and vegetarian fanbase.



Simply put, alternative proteins haven&rsquo;t found the right product, quality and price mix to garner significant market adoption from omnivores. Beyond Meat has always had massive overhead and low operating margins, resulting in the company losing hundreds of millions of dollars per year.



That was somewhat acceptable when revenues were rising and Beyond Meat could hope to reach operating scale and overcome its financial travails. 



Now, though, the bloom is off the rose. Beyond Meat&rsquo;s revenues plunged from $465 million in 2021 to just $343 million in 2023. Analysts expect another decline to $329 million in 2024.



BYND stock soared on <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/02/why-is-beyond-meat-bynd-stock-up-62-today/">a short squeeze</a> earlier this year, but it&rsquo;s already given back those gains, and there&rsquo;s little fundamental reason for optimism. Traders should look to exit this meme stock before it goes from bad to worse.



<h2>Joby Aviation (JOBY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/joby-stock-300x169.jpg" alt="A Joby Aviation (JOBY Stock) air taxi on display."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Joby Aviation (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/joby-stock-quote/">JOBY</a>) is a venture stage company attempting to commercialize electric vehicles for short range flights. The idea is that passengers can use Joby vehicles to get from an airport to a destination close to their house or office, for example.



In theory, this sort of electric vehicle could transform the <a href="https://www.afar.com/magazine/what-exactly-are-air-taxis-and-where-are-they">urban taxi market</a>, at least on certain popular high-volume routes. However, it remains to be seen if these sorts of vehicles will be more commercially viable than helicopters. 



Needless to say, private helicopters services have existed for decades and remain a niche. It seems there simply aren&rsquo;t that many consumers that have the money or the willingness to pay for short range private flights. 



Joby and other eVTOL players are hoping that the electrification of the private aircraft will lead to adoption as it can address some noise and environmental concerns. But commercial proof of concept remains lacking. Additionally, short sellers have taken Joby to task <a href="https://investorplace.com/2023/10/kerrisdale-slams-joby-aviation-joby-stock-in-new-short-report/">citing concerns</a> both on the cost of the vehicles and with eventual passenger demand.



Despite having virtually no revenues and losing approximately $500 million per year, Joby retains a massive market capitalization. Simply put, a $3 billion market cap is a gigantic speculative bet on a company that may well not amount to much in the end. Put another way, traders should get out of JOBY stock before the broader economy turns downward and these sorts of highly speculative concept stocks totally implode.
