1 Russell 2000 Stock to Target This Week and 2 to Think Twice About
The Russell 2000 (^RUT) is packed with potential breakout stocks, thanks to its focus on smaller companies with high growth potential. However, smaller size also means these businesses often lack the resilience and financial flexibility of large-cap firms, making careful selection crucial.
Picking the right small caps isn't easy, and that's exactly why StockStory exists - to help you focus on the best opportunities. That said, here is one Russell 2000 stock that could deliver strong gains and two best left off your watchlist.
Two Industrials Stocks to Sell:
Richardson Electronics (RELL)
Market Cap: $126 million
Founded in 1947, Richardson Electronics (NASDAQ:RELL) is a distributor of power grid and microwave tubes as well as consumables related to those products.
Why Do We Avoid RELL?
Customers postponed purchases of its products and services this cycle as its revenue declined by 12.3% annually over the last two years
Earnings per share have contracted by 74.7% annually over the last two years, a headwind for returns as stock prices often echo long-term EPS performance
Ability to fund investments or reward shareholders with increased buybacks or dividends is restricted by its weak free cash flow margin of -0.4% for the last five years
Richardson Electronics is trading at $9.23 per share, or 12.4x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including RELL in your portfolio, it's free.
Champion Homes (SKY)
Market Cap: $4.95 billion
Founded in 1951, Champion Homes (NYSE:SKY) is a manufacturer of modular homes and buildings in North America.
Why Are We Hesitant About SKY?
Flat unit sales over the past two years imply it may need to invest in improvements to get back on track
Performance over the past two years was negatively impacted by new share issuances as its earnings per share dropped by 31.5% annually, worse than its revenue
Diminishing returns on capital suggest its earlier profit pools are drying up
At $84.42 per share, Champion Homes trades at 23.1x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why SKY doesn't pass our bar.
One Industrials Stock to Buy:
Graham Corporation (GHM)
Market Cap: $361.2 million
Founded when its founder patented a unique design for a vacuum system used in the sugar refining process, Graham (NYSE:GHM) provides vacuum and heat transfer equipment for the energy, petrochemical, refining, and chemical sectors.

Why Digital Turbine Stock Plummeted Today
Digital Turbine stock saw a massive post-earnings rally on Tuesday, but its share price slipped as the week progressed. Investors took profits on the stock today, and geopolitical risk factors also worked to push its share price lower. Digital Turbine is guiding for strong adjusted EBITDA growth this year, but geopolitical dynamics could create valuation volatility. 10 stocks we like better than Digital Turbine › Digital Turbine (NASDAQ: APPS) stock saw a round of substantial sell-offs Friday. The adtech specialist's share price closed out the daily session down 14.6% amid a 0.3% decline for the S&P 500 index and a 0.6% decline for the Nasdaq Composite index. Following an explosive post-earnings rally for the stock earlier this week, investors sold shares and moved to take profits. In addition to profit-taking action, Digital Turbine stock moved lower due to new restrictions on technology exports and fears that the conflict between Israel and Iran could continue to escalate. Digital Turbine stock had actually been up as much as 1.8% in today's trading, but action on the stock turned bearish as investors reacted to risk factors and took profits on gains posted earlier in the week. The company's share price skyrocketed in Tuesday's trading after it posted better-than-expected quarterly results and forward guidance, but its share price has moved lower in subsequent trading. In addition to profit-taking activities, Digital Turbine stock was pressured by geopolitical dynamics today. The Wall Street Journal published a report today stating that the Trump administration wants to further strengthen export restrictions and prevent companies including Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, and SK Hynix from shipping chipmaking technologies to their factories in China. Adding another bearish catalyst, investors moved out of stocks due to the possibility that military strikes between Israel and Iran will intensify and that the U.S. could enter the conflict on behalf of Israel. For the current fiscal year, Digital Turbine is guiding for revenue between $515 million and $525 million -- good for annual growth of roughly 6% at the midpoint of the target range. Meanwhile, non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) are projected to be between $85 million and $90 million -- representing growth of 21% at the midpoint of the guidance range. Digital Turbine's performance outlook became significantly stronger following its quarterly release earlier this week, but there are factors that could cause continued volatility for the stock. The company does most of its business in China, and rising geopolitical tensions present substantial risk factors even though it's not a hardware company.
