2 Oversold Stocks Set for a Comeback and 1 We Turn Down

Barchart·06/15/2026 03:52:16

Hitting a new 52-week low can be a pivotal moment for any stock. These floors often mark either the beginning of a turnaround story or confirmation that a company faces serious headwinds.

While market timing can be an extremely profitable strategy, it has burned many investors and requires rigorous analysis - something we specialize in at StockStory. That said, here are two stocks poised to prove the bears wrong and one where the outlook is warranted.

One Stock to Sell:

Autodesk (ADSK)

One-Month Return: -16%

Starting with AutoCAD in the 1980s and evolving into a comprehensive design ecosystem, Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK) provides software solutions for architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, and entertainment industries to design, simulate, and visualize projects.

Why Is ADSK Not Exciting?

1. 14% annual revenue growth over the last five years was slower than its software peers
2. Long payback periods on sales and marketing expenses limit customer growth and signal the company operates in a highly competitive environment
3. Operating margin improvement of 4.8 percentage points over the last year demonstrates its ability to scale efficiently

Autodesk’s stock price of $198.86 implies a valuation ratio of 5.2x forward price-to-sales. To fully understand why you should be careful with ADSK, check out our full research report (it’s free).

Two Stocks to Watch:

The Trade Desk (TTD)

One-Month Return: -8.9%

Built as an alternative to "walled garden" advertising ecosystems, The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD) provides a cloud-based platform that helps advertisers and agencies plan, manage, and optimize digital advertising campaigns across multiple channels and devices.

Why Could TTD Be a Winner?

1. Annual revenue growth of 20.2% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share is rising
2. User-friendly software enables clients to ramp up spending quickly, leading to the speedy recovery of customer acquisition costs
3. Highly efficient business model is illustrated by its impressive 20.3% operating margin, and its rise over the last year was fueled by some leverage on its fixed costs

At $19.27 per share, The Trade Desk trades at 2.8x forward price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.

DoorDash (DASH)

One-Month Return: -5.5%

Founded by Stanford students with the intent to build “the local, on-demand FedEx", DoorDash (NASDAQ:DASH) operates an on-demand food delivery platform.

Why Should You Buy DASH?

1. Orders are rising, meaning the company can increase revenue without incurring additional customer acquisition costs if it can cross-sell additional products and features
2. Notable projected revenue growth of 25.6% for the next 12 months hints at market share gains
3. Performance over the past three years shows its incremental sales were extremely profitable, as its annual earnings per share growth of 179% outpaced its revenue gains

DoorDash is trading at $150.45 per share, or 17.2x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
