The latest batch of economic data, disappointing corporate earnings, and the banking crisis has elevated recession fears lately. Given an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop, it could be wise to stay away from risky stocks Roku, Inc. (ROKU), Bitfarms Ltd. (BITF), and CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK) in April, with fundamental weakness and gloomy growth prospects.
Stocks finished lower yesterday as disappointing corporate earnings and signs of an economic slowdown weighed on investor sentiment. The Dow Jones tumbled 0.3%, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.6% and 0.8%, respectively. EV maker Tesla’s (TSLA) first-quarter earnings took a hit, and its automotive gross profit margins highly disappointed Wall Street.
