Do you own this doomed AI stock?

If you own this beloved tech stock, your portfolio may be in for a world of pain.

It's a new, urgent "SELL ALERT" from the Wall Street veteran who warned his 800,000+ followers around the world to sell:

Fiverr (FVRR) before it fell 86%...

RingCentral (RNG) before it plunged 89%...

And Beyond Meat (BYND) before it crashed 90%...

Along with dozens of others. See his free warning now.

The average loss for the stocks he warned about one year was 76%.

And he says believes this beloved AI stock could be the next Wall Street Darling to devastate main street investors before the end of the year.

He told me,

"This stock was once regarded as an early pioneer of the AI revolution. Now I predict it's headed straight into a buzzsaw.

I believe some novice investors will see the name and ticker of this company and instantly BUY, purely due to hype. That's what makes it one of the most - if not the most - dangerous stock in the market today."

Delta Air Lines, Inc. (DAL)
$57.48 Target: $72.57 Strong Buy (14 analysts)
Investment Thesis
Delta Air Lines earns our top ranking with an outstanding 30/35 score, driven by its exceptional combination of Strong Buy analyst consensus and remarkable 35% dividend growth—the highest among all selections this week. The company's remarkably low 9.52% payout ratio provides substantial room for continued dividend increases, while its attractive 8.1 P/E ratio signals significant undervaluation relative to earnings power. With $62.9 billion in annual revenue and strong operational cash flow of $7.98 billion, Delta demonstrates the financial strength to sustain aggressive dividend growth while maintaining investment-grade balance sheet metrics.

  • Exceptional 35% dividend growth rate
  • Ultra-low 9.52% payout ratio allows expansion

SM Energy Company (SM)
$22.60 Target: $40.78 Hold (11 analysts)
Investment Thesis
SM Energy presents the most compelling value proposition in this week's portfolio with an extraordinary 80% upside to analyst price targets, trading at a deeply discounted 3.19 P/E ratio. Despite a Hold rating that tempers our enthusiasm, the company's fundamentals are exceptional: an ultra-conservative 11.31% payout ratio ensures dividend safety, while the 5-year dividend growth rate of 109% demonstrates management's commitment to returning cash to shareholders. For contrarian investors willing to embrace energy sector volatility, SM Energy offers a rare combination of 3.54% current yield, strong free cash flow generation of $2.08 billion, and significant mean reversion potential after a 49% one-year decline.
