Wish Stock Analysis

Disappointing Q3 Earnings for Wish Stock

Not only did the company announce its CEO is leaving, but their Q3 result shows the marketplace is losing ground.

Where Things Stand With ContextLogic

On Aug. 12, ContextLogic reported that revenue fell 6% year-over-year (YoY), a disturbing anomaly for an online e-commerce company. Moreover, the company’s losses skyrocketed to $111 million from negative $11 million last year.

In addition, four other major brokerage firms made the same switch on Aug. 13 from Overweight to Underweight, according to Yahoo! Finance.

What To Do With WISH Stock

Investors should be careful with WISH stock. I was already too early in calling for it to rise. With the disastrous Q2 results, it looks like it is going to take some time for ContextLogic to get a handle on its growth issues.

Investors Have Lost Hope in a Comeback by WISH Stock

Admittedly, ContextLogic’s move from hot stock to penny stock isn’t completely its fault. The pullback of growth stocks and meme stocks, caused by the Federal Reserve’s increased hawkishness, has certainly added fuel to the fire.

Another Retreat May Be in Store

After WISH stock tumbled more than 90% and with sentiment towards it even among meme traders at a low point, it may seem like WISH stock has bottomed. Unfortunately, the shares can fall further, even though they are trading at a low price.

Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The ContextLogic Inc. stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term moving averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss

There is no support from accumulated volume below today's level and given the right condition the stock may perform very badly in the next couple of days.

Is ContextLogic Inc. stock A Buy?

ContextLogic Inc. holds several negative signals and is within a very wide and falling trend, so we believe it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We therefore hold a negative evaluation of this stock.

First, accept market volatility — which is relatively common — as a normal part of the process of investing and the best way to outrun inflation, said certified financial planner Brad Lineberger, president of Carlsbad, California-based Seaside Wealth Management, which manages about $165 million in assets.

Make a plan and stick to it

Sticking with your overall plan is generally the best thing you can do through a market slump, instead of panicking and selling too soon.

Have an emergency fund

Of course, even if you know that stock market volatility can benefit you in the long-run, financial advisors still recommend having a cash emergency fund on hand so that you can make it through a market meltdown without selling.

Why have e-commerce stocks been falling in 2021?

In general, e-commerce stocks have looked weak in 2021. However, Shopify and eBay are outperforming the markets. Apart from BABA, WISH, and AMZN, Coupang is another notable underperformer. The stock trades below the IPO price and made a 52-week low on Oct. 4.

Why WISH stock is falling

Meanwhile, the woes for WISH are much more nuanced than the broader weakness in growth and e-commerce stocks. The company’s earnings haven't pleased markets. Its sales fell in the second quarter even though the losses continued to swell.

Why BABA stock is falling

BABA’s earnings have been pretty solid. However, it has been a victim of the crackdown in China. The stock has continued to fall and has been making new lows amid uncertainty about the regulatory changes in China. The Evergrande crisis and the resultant fears about the Chinese economy haven't helped BABA stock either.

BABA stock forecast

Last week, Raymond James withdrew its strong buy rating on BABA stock and lowered the target price from $300 to $240. While Wall Street analysts have generally been on the sidelines during China’s tech crackdown, many of them have been turning bearish on BABA stock.

BABA or WISH: Which is a better e-commerce stock to buy?

BABA and WISH are beaten-down e-commerce stocks and are trading near historically low valuations. Meanwhile, the stocks have fallen for entirely different reasons. If you think that China’s tech crackdown is over, BABA looks like a compelling buy. It trades at 12.4x its fiscal year 2023 (that would end in March 2023) earnings, which looks tempting.
