10 Stocks That Underperformed Last Week

Page 1 of 9

Wall Street’s main indices ended in a bloodbath on Friday, as investors soured on a flurry of macroeconomic factors such as concerns over a slowing economy and a sticky inflation that tempered buying appetite.

Friday’s finish saw the Dow Jones decline by 1.69 percent, the S&P drop by 1.71 percent, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq nosedive by 2.20 percent.

Ten companies, in particular, were heavily hit, registering mostly double-digit losses on a week-on-week basis.

In this article, we have listed 10 names that performed poorly last week and detailed the reasons behind their declines. Please note that shares performances were based on the companies’ closing prices last Friday, February 21, as against their prices on February 14, or a week earlier.

To come up with last week’s biggest losers, we considered only the stocks with $2 billion in market capitalization and $5 million in daily trading volume.

10. SoundHound AI Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN)

SoundHound AI dropped its share prices by 6 percent week-on-week to close Friday’s trading at $10.31 apiece versus the $10.97 registered a week earlier as Nvidia Corp.’s exit from the company still lingered among investors.

Last week marks SOUN’s second consecutive week in the red from a $15.6 price on February 7.

Earlier, NVDA submitted a regulatory filing showing its stake positions in various firms. The filing showed a 44-percent reduction in its holdings in British chipmaker Arm Holdings while fully exiting Serve Robotics and SOUN.

NVDA being one of the largest chipmakers supporting the development of AI, its stake positions in several companies became a vote of confidence among investors.

Meanwhile, NVDA’s divestment in SOUN raised investor concern over the future of its growth trajectory, particularly as it was once seen as a promising player in the AI industry.

9. Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN)

Coinbase dropped its share prices by 14 percent last week, finishing at $235.38 versus the $274.31 registered on February 14 as investors took profits following the company’s stellar earnings performance.

It can be recalled that COIN registered a 373-percent jump in its net income in the last three months of 2024 to $1.29 billion from $273 million in the same period a year earlier as revenues surged by 138 percent to $2.27 billion from $953.7 million.

Meanwhile, net income for the full year 2024 soared by 2,618 percent to $2.579 billion from $94.87 million in 2023, with revenues jumping by 111 percent to $6.564 billion from $3.108 billion.

In recent news, COIN announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission officially dropped a lawsuit that it filed against the company without any penalties. The dismissal came in line with the Trump administration’s plans to bolster cryptocurrency and make it a “national priority.”

A New Dawn is Coming to U.S. Stocks

I work for one of the largest independent financial publishers in the world – representing over 1 million people in 148 countries.

We’re independently funding today’s broadcast to address something on the mind of every investor in America right now…

Should I put my money in Artificial Intelligence?

Here to answer that for us… and give away his No. 1 free AI recommendation… is 50-year Wall Street titan, Marc Chaikin.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.

That’s why Marc’s work appears in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal on the planet…

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.

He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.
