2 Beaten-Down Stocks That Still Aren't Worth Buying
Your hard-earned money would be better spent elsewhere.
Overview
Buying shares of excellent companies that have fallen out of favor is a great way to earn superior returns over the long run. However, investors should be careful not to catch a falling knife. Corporations often fail to keep up with broader equities for good reasons, and in many cases, it's not worth investing in market laggards, even on the dip. With that as a backdrop, let's consider two stocks that have moved in the wrong direction this year but remain unattractive at their current levels: Recursion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RXRX) and Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SRPT).

Recursion Pharmaceuticals uses an AI-powered algorithm to predict which candidates are the most likely to perform well in clinical trials and, eventually, earn approval.
