  • The S&P 500 has hit record levels this year and many stocks have generated fantastic returns for investors. But there's been no shortage of struggling investments, either. Many companies that have been finding it difficult to grow and that may not have any near-term catalysts on the horizon have seen their shares fall sharply this year.

The article from The Motley Fool, published on December 5, 2024, discusses whether it's a good time to invest in three of the S&P 500's worst performers of the year: Enphase Energy, Moderna, and Dollar General. Enphase Energy, despite a significant drop in stock value due to a slowdown in solar demand, is seen as a potential buy due to its strong fundamentals and the expected recovery in the solar market. Moderna, which has faced challenges post its mRNA vaccine success, is considered for investment due to its promising pipeline of new treatments and vaccines, suggesting a potential turnaround. Dollar General, after a year of operational issues and declining sales, might be an attractive buy for value investors looking for a turnaround story, given its efforts to improve store operations and regain market share. The article suggests that while these stocks have underperformed, their current valuations might present buying opportunities for investors with a long-term perspective.
