Volatility cuts both ways - while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains. This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors.

At StockStory, our job is to help you avoid costly mistakes and stay on the right side of the trade. Keeping that in mind, here is one volatile stock that could reward patient investors and two best left to the gamblers.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Revolve (RVLV)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 2.13

Launched in 2003 by software engineers Michael Mente and Mike Karanikolas, Revolve (NASDAQ: RVLV) is a fashion retailer leveraging social media and a community of fashion influencers to drive its merchandising strategy.

Why Should You Dump RVLV?

1. White space opportunities may be dwindling as its growth in active customers averaged a weak 6.5%
2. Platform has lost its luster lately as engagement trends have been sluggish and its average revenue per buyer has declined by 1.5% annually
3. Falling earnings per share over the last three years has some investors worried as stock prices ultimately follow EPS over the long term

Revolve is trading at $24.22 per share, or 23.6x forward EV/EBITDA. To fully understand why you should be careful with RVLV, check out our full research report (it’s free for active Edge members).

JLL (JLL)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.15

Founded in 1999 through the merger of Jones Lang Wootton and LaSalle Partners, JLL (NYSE: JLL) is a company specializing in real estate advisory and investment management services.

Why Should You Sell JLL?

1. Large revenue base makes it harder to increase sales quickly, and its annual revenue growth of 6.9% over the last five years was below our standards for the consumer discretionary sector
2. Ability to fund investments or reward shareholders with increased buybacks or dividends is restricted by its weak free cash flow margin of 2.2% for the last two years
3. Underwhelming 7.8% return on capital reflects management’s difficulties in finding profitable growth opportunities, and its decreasing returns suggest its historical profit centers are aging

JLL’s stock price of $304.20 implies a valuation ratio of 16.8x forward P/E. If you’re considering JLL for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Watch:

Carlisle (CSL)

Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.11

Originally founded as Carlisle Tire and Rubber Company, Carlisle Companies (NYSE: CSL) is a multi-industry product manufacturer focusing on construction materials and weatherproofing technologies.

Why Are We Positive On CSL?

1. Highly efficient business model is illustrated by its impressive 19.5% operating margin, and its rise over the last five years was fueled by some leverage on its fixed costs
2. Share repurchases have amplified shareholder returns as its annual earnings per share growth of 24.7% exceeded its revenue gains over the last five years
3. Robust free cash flow margin of 15.3% gives it many options for capital deployment, and its recently improved profitability means it has even more resources to invest or distribute

At $325.63 per share, Carlisle trades at 15.8x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
