investors are worried about a market crash as stock values continue to hover at record levels. But even if a full-blown crash doesn't happen and a more modest correction takes place instead, that could still lead to significant losses for investors with expensive stocks in their portfolios. By paying attention to fundamentals and ensuring you aren't holding any stocks that are wildly overvalued, you can reduce your risk.</p>\n<p>Three stocks I would consider selling today are <b>Shockwave Medical </b>(NASDAQ:SWAV),&nbsp;<b>Peloton&nbsp;</b>(NASDAQ:PTON), and <b>Snap&nbsp;</b>(NYSE:SNAP). While they've all done well over the past 12 months and have outperformed the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>, there could be tougher times ahead for these companies.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6a428385363a66df0dbd08bd021098d5\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GTY\">Getty</a> Images.</p>\n<h3>1. Shockwave Medical</h3>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/HCSG\">Healthcare</a> company Shockwave Medical uses shockwaves to break up calcium deposits. The company's catheters can help in situations where blood flow is restricted. And earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the company's shockwave pressure wave therapy the green light to treat advanced heart disease. It's an exciting opportunity for the business, because experts say calcification can present a serious obstacle for physicians when doing angioplasty procedures -- <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> that current tools may not be able to overcome.</p>\n<p>But despite the potential growth opportunities ahead for the business, the stock may just be too expensive of a buy right now. For the first three months of 2021, sales of $31.9 million weren't even enough to cover the company's operating expenses of $41.5 million. While the year-over-year revenue growth of 110% was impressive, it's still hard to justify the $6.4 billion valuation, which puts Shockwave Medical's stock at a price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of more than 73. By comparison, the average stock in the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></b> trades at just 11 times its revenue, and those are holdings that possess high growth potential.</p>\n<p>Unless you are willing to hold Shockwave Medical for the very long term, a safer bet may be to leave it on a watchlist for now and wait for it to fall in price. In the meantime, there are plenty of other value buys that may be safer to hold right now.</p>\n<h3>2. Peloton</h3>\n<p>Peloton was a popular stay-at-home stock for investors to hold during the pandemic, as consumers weren't able to visit the gym and instead opted for the company's bikes and treadmills. But bad press (involving a recall after a treadmill accident led to the death of a child) combined with investors' general move toward stocks that will do well upon reopenings to leave Peloton's stock in a tailspin; year to date, its shares are down more than 22% while the S&amp;P 500 has risen by 17%.</p>\n<p>However, even with the decline in share price, the stock is still incredibly expensive given the business' underwhelming numbers. While Peloton is profitable, its profit margin over the trailing 12 months is just less than 6%, and two of the past five quarters have been in the red. Its price-to-earnings multiple is more than 140, which is obscene by any comparison. And with a P/S multiple of 10, it's not terribly cheap on that metric, either.</p>\n<p>My concern is that the company's growth rate could start to decline as people go back to gyms, and that could make staying out of the red a challenge in future quarters. Workers are also quitting their jobs at record levels, and that could put those consumers' finances in disarray, at least in the short term. The loss of a job (voluntary or not) could make buying a $1,000-plus bike just not that much of a priority anymore -- and it may not look nearly as affordable.</p>\n<p>Unless you have an incredibly rosy outlook for Peloton (which I don't), there's simply not much of a reason to buy the stock at its hefty valuation.</p>\n<h3>3. Snap</h3>\n<p>Snap is coming off a great second quarter in which it continued to do well even amid reopenings. The social media company behind Snapchat reported that its daily active users topped 293 million, up 23% year over year. Its revenue for the period ending June 30 totaled $982 million, more than double the $454 million that Snap reported a year ago, thanks largely to enhancements to its augmented reality platform. Its net loss of $152 million was also cut in half. Snap projects that its revenue will rise next quarter as well, but at a more modest rate between 58% and 60%.</p>\n<p>The company is doing many things well, and solid user growth in this period -- when people have been less glued to their phones than during lockdowns -- is an impressive feat. But with Snap's stock rising more than 230% over the past year (the S&amp;P 500 is up just 35%), its valuation has gotten out of control. Today, Snap trades at a P/S multiple of 33, well above the average stock in the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XLK\">Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund</a></b>, where the P/S average is less than 7.</p>\n<p>The stock certainly has potential if it can keep adding users and driving this level of revenue growth, but even management is forecasting some softness ahead in its top line. It wasn't until the pandemic that shares of Snap really took off, and there's no doubt the company benefited from stay-at-home trends. I'm just not optimistic that it can keep up its impressive numbers heading into the fall, when students go back to school and life potentially goes back to how it was before the pandemic.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Ridiculously Overpriced Stocks That Could Crash in a Market Correction</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Ridiculously Overpriced Stocks That Could Crash in a Market Correction\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-04 22:17 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/04/3-ridiculously-overpriced-stocks-that-could-crash/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Many investors are worried about a market crash as stock values continue to hover at record levels.

Compared with last year, however, shelter costs were up 2.6%.</p>\n<p>Altogether, the rise in housing prices accounted for roughly a fifth of the overall increase in inflation in June, a reflection of how heavily government economists weight this spending category.</p>\n<p>But much of that increase was actually driven by the rising cost of hotels and motel stays, which are factored into the overall shelter figure. Between May and June, the cost of a hotel room increased nearly 8%. Comparatively, housing costs for renters and homeowners rose 0.2% and 0.3% respectively, per the government's inflation measure.</p>\n<p>If those figures seem off based on your own experience of buying a home or signing a new lease as of late, it's not a surprise.

Accordingly, free cash flow5was an investment of$102 millionas a result of$74 millionof planned capital expenditures in connection with store remodels, supply chain and IT systems.\nInventory reduced by approximately$110 millioncompared to the end of fiscal 2020, was primarily related to seasonal selling and product transitions in preparation for the introduction of the Company's Owned Brands, as well as store closures related to the Company's fleet optimization activity.\n$130 millionin capital return to shareholders through share repurchases.\nCash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments balance were approximately$1.2 billion.\nTotal Liquidity4was approximately$1.9 billion, including the Company's asset based revolving credit facility.\n\nGuidance Outlook\nAs a reminder,Net Salesthroughout fiscal 2021 include the Company's Core1businesses and reflects planned reductions related to the Company's store fleet optimization activity.\nFiscal 2021 Second Quarter Outlook\nThe Company expects fiscal 2021 second quarterNet Salesof between$2.04 billionto$2.08 billion, which only reflects sales from the Company's Core1businesses. Net Salesalso includes planned sales reductions from the Company's store fleet optimization program of approximately 9% to 10%. On a Comparable Sales basis, the Company expects to achieve growth in the low-single digit range compared to the prior year period.\nThe Company expects to achieve Adjusted2Gross Margin in the range of 35% to 36%.  This represents a sequential improvement versus the 2021 fiscal first quarter primarily driven by continued assortment curation and a higher penetration of the Company's Owned Brands.  Additionally, this guidance reflects the on-going, year-over-year impact of higher, industry-wide freight costs.\nThe Company expects Adjusted2EBITDA between $150 millionto$160 millionand Adjusted2EPS in the range of$0.48to$0.55for the fiscal 2021 second quarter.\nFiscal Year 2021 Outlook\nBased on strong performance in the fiscal first quarter and current expectations for the fiscal second quarter, the Company is raising its fiscal year 2021 guidance outlook.\nThe Company now expects higher fiscal year 2021 Net Sales of$8.2 billionto$8.4 billionfrom$8.0 billionto$8.2 billion. The Company is raising comparable sales expectations for the second through fourth quarters of fiscal 2021 to the Low-Single Digit growth range versus its previously communicated guidance outlook for Flat comparable sales growth.  This compares to the Company's robust sales performance during the second through fourth quarters of fiscal 2020.\nThe Company is also increasing its Adjusted2EBITDA guidance to a range of$520 millionto$540 millionfrom$500 millionto$525 millionand re-introduces a full fiscal year 2021 Adjusted2EPS range of$1.40to$1.55.\nThe Company is reaffirming its previously

And some companies' profit gains are likely to be more enormous than others.</p>\n<p>Analysts expect 10 S&amp;P 500 companies, including health care <b>Zimmer Biomet</b>, energy firm <b>Freeport-McMoRan</b> and consumer discretionary firm <b>Chipotle Mexican Grill</b>, to post massive adjusted profit per share growth of 1,000% or much more for the second quarter. And that would make these companies S&amp;P 500 standouts in a quarter already expected to be a massive <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> for profit growth, says an Investor's Business Daily analysis of data from S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence and MarketSmith.</p>\n<p>\"We ran out of superlatives to describe corporate America's stunning performance during first-quarter earnings season,\" said Jeff Buchbinder, equity strategist at LPL Financial. \"So what will companies do for an encore? We expect more good news this quarter as more of the economy has opened up, while also acknowledging the second quarter will almost certainly end up being the peak in earnings growth for this cycle.\"</p>\n<p>Profit reports kick off this week with the banks. And what a peak it'll be for S&amp;P 50o profit.</p>\n<h2>S&amp;P 500 Headed To Amazing Quarterly Profit</h2>\n<p>Companies in the S&amp;P 500 are expected to post moonshot quarterly profit growth of 64% in the second quarter, says John Butters, earnings analyst at FactSet. If that's right, it would be the largest quarterly profit posted by the S&amp;P 500 in more than a decade, Butters says.</p>\n<p>Profits are soaring back as the U.S. economy is reopening, jobs are plentiful and companies and consumers have lots of money to spend. And the speed of the economy's rebound surprised most people. Analysts bumped up their profit forecasts for the quarter 7.2% since the end of March through June 30. That's the largest upward profit growth forecast boost since FactSet has tracked it going back to 2002, Butters says.</p>\n<p>Skeptics might think this is just wishful thinking. But early indications show there's reason to be optimistic. Already 66 S&amp;P 500 companies, also a record, said second-quarter profit will top their earlier targets.</p>\n<p>So how you stand out when most companies' profits are booming? Just ask 10 S&amp;P 500 outliers.</p>\n<h2>Putting Up 1,000% Or More Profit Growth</h2>\n<p>Scanning the S&amp;P 500, Zimmer Biomet is the company to beat in terms of profit growth. Analysts think it will earn $1.86 a share on an adjusted basis in the second quarter. That's up more than 3,600% from what it earned in the same period a year ago.</p>\n<p>The company makes a variety of orthopedic products like hip and knee replacements. Demand for such goods is expected to be strong as many people now get the optional procedures they put off during the pandemic. Zimmer Biomet reports its second quarter profit on Aug. 3. Shares are only up 3.8% this year so far.</p>\n<p>Energy, though, is an area where profits and share prices are booming. Shares of copper miner Freeport-McMoRan are up more than 40% as investors anticipate an amazing quarter for profits. Analysts are calling for the company to earn nearly 74 cents a share in the second quarter, up more than 2,350% from the same year-ago period. Such strong fundamentals paired with a rising stock price explain the lofty 93 IBD Composite Rating. The company reports on July 22.</p>\n<p>And when it comes to a high Composite Rating, look at Chipotle. The burrito chain sports a near perfect IBD Composite Rating of 98. Shares are up 16.5% this year, roughly in line with the S&amp;P 500. But get ready for a hot-red quarter of profit growth. Analysts think it will report second-quarter profit growth of more than 1,517% or $6.47 a share. Chipotle reports on July 20.</p>\n<p>So while it's going to be a powerful period of growth for the S&amp;P 500, it's still possible to beat the average.</p>\n<h2>A Bonanza Of Profit Is Coming</h2>\n<p><i>Analysts see 1,000% or more profit growth from these S&amp;P 500 companies in the second quarter</i></p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Company</th>\n   <th>Ticker</th>\n   <th>Q2 EPS % Ch.</th>\n   <th>Primary Sector</th>\n   <th>Composite Rating</th>\n   <th>% stock YTD ch.</th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Zimmer Biomet</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td><b>3,620.0%</b></td>\n   <td>Health Care</td>\n   <td>39</td>\n   <td>3.8%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Freeport-McMoRan</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td><b>2,353.3%</b></td>\n   <td>Materials</td>\n   <td>93</td>\n   <td>40.4%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Hasbro</td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td><b>2,285.0%</b></td>\n   <td>Consumer Discretionary</td>\n   <td>67</td>\n   <td>4.9%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SYF\">Synchrony Financial</a></td>\n   <td></td>\n   <td><b>2,150.0%</b></td>\n   <td>Financials</td>\n   <td>88</td>\n   <td>40.4%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>W.

And some companies' profit gains are likely to be more enormous than others.\nAnalysts expect 10 S&P 500 companies, including health care Zimmer Biomet, energy firm Freeport-McMoRan and consumer discretionary firm Chipotle Mexican Grill, to post massive adjusted profit per share growth of 1,000% or much more for the second quarter. And that would make these companies S&P 500 standouts in a quarter already expected to be a massive one for profit growth, says an Investor's Business Daily analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence and MarketSmith.\n\"We ran out of superlatives to describe corporate America's stunning performance during first-quarter earnings season,\" said Jeff Buchbinder, equity strategist at LPL Financial. \"So what will companies do for an encore? We expect more good news this quarter as more of the economy has opened up, while also acknowledging the second quarter will almost certainly end up being the peak in earnings growth for this cycle.\"\nProfit reports kick off this week with the banks. And what a peak it'll be for S&P 50o profit.\nS&P 500 Headed To Amazing Quarterly Profit\nCompanies in the S&P 500 are expected to post moonshot quarterly profit growth of 64% in the second quarter, says John Butters, earnings analyst at FactSet. If that's right, it would be the largest quarterly profit posted by the S&P 500 in more than a decade, Butters says.\nProfits are soaring back as the U.S. economy is reopening, jobs are plentiful and companies and consumers have lots of money to spend. And the speed of the economy's rebound surprised most people. Analysts bumped up their profit forecasts for the quarter 7.2% since the end of March through June 30. That's the largest upward profit growth forecast boost since FactSet has tracked it going back to 2002, Butters says.\nSkeptics might think this is just wishful thinking. But early indications show there's reason to be optimistic. Already 66 S&P 500 companies, also a record, said second-quarter profit will top their earlier targets.\nSo how you stand out when most companies' profits are booming? Just ask 10 S&P 500 outliers.\nPutting Up 1,000% Or More Profit Growth\nScanning the S&P 500, Zimmer Biomet is the company to beat in terms of profit growth. Analysts think it will earn $1.86 a share on an adjusted basis in the second quarter. That's up more than 3,600% from what it earned in the same period a year ago.\nThe company makes a variety of orthopedic products like hip and knee replacements. Demand for such goods is expected to be strong as many people now get the optional procedures they put off during the pandemic. Zimmer Biomet reports its second quarter profit on Aug. 3. Shares are only up 3.8% this year so far.\nEnergy, though, is an area where profits and share prices are booming. Shares of copper miner Freeport-McMoRan are up more than 40% as investors anticipate an amazing quarter for profits. Analysts are calling for the company to earn nearly 74 cents a share in the second quarter, up more than 2,350% from the same year-ago period. Such strong fundamentals paired with a rising stock price explain the lofty 93 IBD Composite Rating. The company reports on July 22.\nAnd when it comes to a high Composite Rating, look at Chipotle. The burrito chain sports a near perfect IBD Composite Rating of 98. Shares are up 16.5% this year, roughly in line with the S&P 500. But get ready for a hot-red quarter of profit growth. Analysts think it will report second-quarter profit growth of more than 1,517% or $6.47 a share. Chipotle reports on July 20.\nSo while it's going to be a powerful period of growth for the S&P 500, it's still possible to beat the average.\nA Bonanza Of Profit Is Coming\nAnalysts see 1,000% or more profit growth from these S&P 500 companies in the second quarter\n\n\n\nCompany\nTicker\nQ2 EPS % Ch.\nPrimary Sector\nComposite Rating\n% stock YTD ch.\n\n\n\n\nZimmer Biomet\n\n3,620.0%\nHealth Care\n39\n3.8%\n\n\nFreeport-McMoRan\n\n2,353.3%\nMaterials\n93\n40.4%\n\n\nHasbro\n\n2,285.0%\nConsumer Discretionary\n67\n4.9%\n\n\nSynchrony Financial\n\n2,150.0%\nFinancials\n88\n40.4%\n\n\nW.
