2017 has been a good year for stocks as a whole, although not every stock has participated in the gains.
Broad market indices are at record highs, with the S&P 500 up 16% year-to-date. But roughly 30% of the stocks in the index have seen their share prices decline this year, including widely owned issues like General Electric (GE), AT&T (T) and Exxon Mobil (XOM).
With the year coming to an end, many of 2017’s losers already are looking to 2018 in hopes of brighter days. In some areas–like the retail sector–this year’s laggards will need more than just a change of the calendar. Many have real risks, given their declines against the rising trend of the overall market.
But these 10 stocks that have been dogs in 2017 look like they should be winners in 2018–and beyond.
