2 Nasdaq Stocks You Need to Sell Before 2023

NASDAQ: AMD | Advanced Micro Devices Inc. News, Ratings, and Charts

AMD – The Fed is expected to continue raising rates, for the time being, keeping the stock market under pressure. The interest rate-sensitive and tech-heavy Nasdaq composite has lost more than 30% year-to-date. Moreover, soaring recession probabilities could accelerate a pullback across markets. Investors might avoid fundamentally weak Nasdaq stocks Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Marvell Technology (MRVL) before 2023. Keep reading….

The Fed recently announced its fourth consecutive 75-bps rate hike and is expected to implement further hikes in the near term. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell believes, “It’s very premature, in my view, to think about or be talking about pausing (rate hikes).”

Consequently, the interest rate-sensitive and tech-heavy Nasdaq composite has lost 4.7% over the past week and 33% year-to-date. Economists increasingly believe the Fed’s decision could tip the economy toward a recession.

Deutsche Bank AG (DB) chief U.S. economist Matthew Luzzetti said, “The higher the Fed needs to go on the terminal rate, it raises our conviction that a recession will happen next year.”

Given this backdrop, fundamentally weak Nasdaq stocks Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD - Get Rating) and Marvell Technology, Inc. (MRVL - Get Rating) might be best avoided before 2023.
