There’s a lot of talk about Wall Street’s top-rated stocks. As 2018 ends and 2019 nears, everyone – including us – is talking about our favorite stock picks for 2019, or even the next decade.

But not every stock is a well-loved lunker.

There are numerous stocks with bearish, or at least increasingly bearish, Wall Street sentiment. Stocks where you should look before you leap. And with the market in such a precarious state right now, it makes even more sense to pay attention to those companies that are facing significant challenges ahead.

Here we used TipRanks market data to pinpoint the Street’s worst-rated stocks right now. We scanned a database of more than 5,000 stocks to find the following picks – some of which represent stocks to sell, and others of which you may want to hold if you own, but certainly don’t want to chase. All stocks, bar one, have an analyst consensus of “Hold” or “Sell.” There’s one exception, but as you’ll see, sentiment is quickly turning against it too.
