Market swings can be tough to stomach, and volatile stocks often experience exaggerated moves in both directions. While many thrive during risk-on environments, many also struggle to maintain investor confidence when the ride gets bumpy.

At StockStory, our job is to help you avoid costly mistakes and stay on the right side of the trade. That said, here is one volatile stock that could deliver huge gains and two best left to the gamblers.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Keysight (KEYS)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.55

Spun off from Hewlett-Packard in 2014, Keysight (NYSE: KEYS) offers electronic measurement products for use in various sectors.

Why Is KEYS Not Exciting?

1. Average backlog growth of 1.1% over the past two years was mediocre and suggests fewer customers signed long-term contracts
2. Earnings per share fell by 7.3% annually over the last two years while its revenue was flat, showing each sale was less profitable
3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

Keysight’s stock price of $212.65 implies a valuation ratio of 26.5x forward P/E. If you’re considering KEYS for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

U.S. Physical Therapy (USPH)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.24

With a nationwide footprint spanning 671 clinics across 42 states, U.S. Physical Therapy (NYSE: USPH) operates a network of outpatient physical therapy clinics and provides industrial injury prevention services to employers across the United States.

Why Does USPH Fall Short?

1. Smaller revenue base of $758.7 million means it hasn’t achieved the economies of scale that some industry juggernauts enjoy
2. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 8.6 percentage points
3. Waning returns on capital imply its previous profit engines are losing steam

At $79.46 per share, U.S. Physical Therapy trades at 28.8x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than USPH.

One Stock to Watch:

Braze (BRZE)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.27

With its technology powering interactions with 6.2 billion monthly active users across the digital landscape, Braze (NASDAQ: BRZE) provides a platform that helps brands build and maintain direct relationships with their customers through personalized, cross-channel messaging and engagement.

Why Could BRZE Be a Winner?

1. Annual revenue growth of 25.6% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains
2. Billings have averaged 22.4% growth over the last year, showing it’s securing new contracts that could potentially increase in value over time
3. Forecasted revenue growth of 19.1% for the next 12 months indicates its momentum over the last two years is sustainable

Braze is trading at $32.23 per share, or 4.1x forward price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free for active Edge members .
