Stocks have been off to a rough start due to DeepSeek fears and tariff concerns. A bunch of stocks plunged in March, but some of those drops present long-term buying opportunities.
However, just because a stock is down by more than 10% doesn’t warrant rushing to buy shares. Some stocks that fell in March can lose a lot more value over the next few months.
Some of them present buying opportunities, while others are worth selling. These are the five stocks to monitor in April.
Nvidia (NVDA)
Nvidia has multiplied wealth more than most stocks, but past results do not guarantee future outcomes. The stock has been off to a rocky start, but many analysts are optimistic about the stock staging a comeback.
Natasha McPherson, CLTC, managing director of Hall Wealth Management and owner of Medicare Rocks, explains the buying opportunity around Nvidia stock.
“Nvidia’s had a 5.7% drop due to fears over stricter regulations on its Chinese-made chips along with a negative outlook on data-center spending. Heightened scrutiny and restrictions have raised concerns about Nvidia’s future in the Chinese market,” McPherson said.
She also highlighted the long-term trends that should benefit Nvidia.
“Although you should still be open to buying due to its dominance within the AI market, it has strong financials and plans for growth. They’re also expanding into the automotive, omniverse, and networking sectors. What I would keep in mind before you buy is supply chain disruptions and regulation within the sector.”
Robinhood (HOOD)
Robinhood surged after a strong earnings report but has since given up those gains. McPherson explained the stock’s long-term buying opportunity.
“Robinhood had a significant stock decline, dropping nearly 20% on March 10. The drop was influenced by broad market sell-offs due to recession fears and a $26 million fine imposed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority for violations related to anti-money laundering practices and inadequate disclosures,” she said. “Robinhood will always have an allure to a broad base of people due to low cost, access to robo advisors, and they’re marketing to younger individuals. I would keep in mind the fact that they do have regulatory scrutiny on them right now. If they aren’t doing things by the book, that could turn out very bad.”
FedEx (FDX)
FedEx shares fell 6.4% in March after the company cut its 2025 fiscal profit forecast, according to Investor’s Business Daily.
McPherson also believes the drop in FedEx stock is overdone and that it presents a buying opportunity compared to its competitors.
“Believe it or not, shipping volume and demand is down. When you put high pricing on top, along with small profit margins due to a slow recovery in global logistics, your profit forecast will shrink. With all that said, their price-to-earnings ratio is still better than competitors; they said they are working on better efficiency, e-commerce isn’t going away any time soon due to online shopping, and the stock offers dividends.”
However, she also highlighted some of the company’s risks.
“The only reason to stray is due to how sensitive the manufacturing and industrial sectors can be to domestic or global activity. Someone else could also come into the space and revolutionize shipping due to the ‘fast demand’ in society. There’s also the risk that they may not execute their restructuring plan effectively.”
Tesla (TSLA)
Not every stock presents a buying opportunity, and some investors believe that the pain can continue for Tesla stock.
“Following its 15% plus decline last month, Tesla is suffering from a margin squeeze, rising EV competition, namely China, and slower global shipping,” mentioned Fei Chen, CEO of Intellectia AI, of the roadblocks Tesla still faces. “Without a near-term catalyst and with deteriorating fundamentals, it’s more vulnerable than opportunistic here. It is advisable to shorten it.”
Boeing (BA)
Chen also highlighted Boeing as a stock to sell. He mentioned that Boeing can become more attractive if concerns are addressed, but even then, he remains on the sidelines.
“March declined hard on ongoing safety concerns and production disruptions. Even the long-term believers must hold out for operational clarity and resolution with regulators. In the meantime, this is a high-risk name with little near-term potential.”
