The Nasdaq 100 (^NDX) is known for housing some of the most innovative and fastest-growing companies in the market. But not every stock in the index is a winner - some are struggling with slowing growth, increasing competition, or unsustainable valuations.

With rapid innovation comes rapid change, and StockStory is here to help you identify which Nasdaq 100 stocks are still worth your money. Keeping that in mind, here is one Nasdaq 100 stock that has huge potential and two that may face some trouble.

Two Stocks to Sell:

Intel (INTC)

Market Cap: $212.2 billion

Inventor of the x86 processor that powered decades of technological innovation in PCs, data centers, and numerous other markets, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) is a leading manufacturer of computer processors and graphics chips.

Why Should You Dump INTC?

1. Sales tumbled by 6.2% annually over the last five years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
2. Earnings per share decreased by more than its revenue over the last five years, showing each sale was less profitable
3. Capital intensity has ramped up over the last five years as its free cash flow margin decreased by 18.3 percentage points

Intel’s stock price of $42.28 implies a valuation ratio of 99.7x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including INTC in your portfolio.

Strategy (MSTR)

Market Cap: $51.66 billion

Once a traditional business intelligence software provider, Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) develops AI-powered enterprise analytics software while also functioning as a major corporate holder of Bitcoin cryptocurrency.

Why Do We Avoid MSTR?

1. MicroStrategy’s core analytics software has been eclipsed by its all-in Bitcoin strategy, leaving product innovation and enterprise deals starved for attention
2. The company’s debt-financed Bitcoin buying ties shareholder fortunes to crypto swings and interest rates, amplifying downside risk and uncertainty
3. On the bright side, its vast Bitcoin treasury gives Executive Chairman Michael Saylor a unique springboard to capture crypto upside and court investors seeking leveraged exposure to digital assets

At $161.16 per share, Strategy trades at 105.7x forward price-to-sales. If you’re considering MSTR for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

One Stock to Buy:

Airbnb (ABNB)

Market Cap: $80.88 billion

Founded by Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia in their San Francisco apartment, Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB) is the world’s largest online marketplace for lodging, primarily homestays.

Why Is ABNB a Good Business?

1. Nights and Experiences Booked have grown by 9.4% annually, allowing for more profitable cross-selling opportunities if it can build complementary products and features
2. Disciplined cost controls and effective management resulted in a strong two-year EBITDA margin of 36.4%, and it turbocharged its profits by achieving some fixed cost leverage
3. Impressive free cash flow profitability enables the company to fund new investments or reward investors with share buybacks/dividends

Airbnb is trading at $132.75 per share, or 16x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.
