10 Worst Performing S&P 500 Stocks Of 2019

The S&P 500 had another big year this year, gaining more than 28% year to date. Most U.S. investors had a lot of winners in their portfolios this year, but not all companies were along for the bull market ride.

Here’s a look at the 10 worst-performing stocks in the entire S&P 500 in 2019, as of the Dec. 20 closing price.

1. Fossil Group Inc FOSL

Fossil investors have been on a rollercoaster ride in the past few years, and 2019 was mostly a free-fall, with the watchmaker’s stock dropping 51.1%.

2. ABIOMED, Inc. ABMD

An FDA letter about the safety of ABIOMED’s Impella RP device wasn’t enough to eliminate market skepticism in 2019, and ABIOMED shares tumbled 49.8%.

3. Macy's Inc M

Investors seem to be increasingly concerned that Macy’s is heading down the same long-term path as Sears Holdings Corp SHLDQ and J C Penney Company Inc JCP, and Macy’s 45.6% drop in 2019 did little to ease those fears.

4. Macerich Co MAC

Like Macy’s, this shopping center real estate investment trust was dragged down by 38.8% on fears that online shopping has brick-and-mortar retail stuck in secular decline.

5. Tripadvisor Inc TRIP

The online travel giant shares slumped 37.3% in 2019 after the company consistently failed to deliver numbers that lived up to Wall Street expectations.
