Deep Dive

There’s a tendency for one year’s dogs to recover the following year
Shares of American Airlines are down 12% this year, but analysts expect a 31% rally for the stock over the next 12 months.
This has been an excellent year for U.S. stocks — so good, in fact, that among the S&P 500, only 57 have had negative returns. But it may be profitable to look among the losers for bargains.
Mark Hulbert recently pointed to a trend among stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA+0.49% for one year’s worst performer tends to perform very well the following year. (Of course, he also warned that there have been exceptions to the trend.)
Looking at the year’s 57 losers among the S&P 500 SPX+0.45% 23 are down 10% or more (including reinvested dividends). Of course, a 10% drop for the best of this group may not seem like terrible performance, as stock prices are volatile. But it looks particularly bad when you consider that the S&P 500 has returned 30% this year through Dec. 18.
Among the 23 stocks, 10 have majority “buy” or equivalent ratings among the Wall Street sell-side analysts polled by FactSet. Here they are:
