Rolling One-Year Beta: 0.81 With a strong presence in the Western US, Lithia Motors (NYSE:LAD) sells a wide range of vehicles, including new and used cars, trucks, SUVs, and luxury vehicles from various manufacturers. Why Does LAD Fall Short? Weak same-store sales trends over the past two years suggest there may be few opportunities in its core markets to open new locations Gross margin of 15.9% is below its competitors, leaving less money for marketing and promotions High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 7× increases the risk of forced asset sales or dilutive financing if operational performance weakens Lithia's stock price of $323.58 implies a valuation ratio of 9.2x forward P/E.

Choice Hotels International, Inc. (CHH): One of the Underperforming Stocks Targeted By Short Sellers
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE:CHH) stands against other underperforming stocks targeted by short sellers. Short interest refers to the percentage of publicly available shares that have been sold short. It is an indicator used by many investors to determine how strong a company's bear thesis may be. Due to the nature of short selling, the short interest has become a popular indicator among investors. The reason it is given so much weightage is that people betting against a stock have usually done solid research and are confident of a company's downfall. They take unlimited risk, so when big investors or the smart money shorts a stock, people take notice. They try to unearth the red flags that may have prompted the high short interest. We decided to dig deeper and try to find out where smart money sees trouble ahead. To come up with our list of 20 underperforming stocks targeted by short sellers, we looked at the worst-performing stocks of the last six months and then ranked them by the short interest. A hotel lobby in vibrant colors, reflecting the hospitality and global presence of the hotel franchising company. Short interest: 14.22% 6 months' performance: -33.6% Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE:CHH) is a hotel franchisor. The company operates in two segments: Hotel Franchising & Management and Corporate & Other. It franchises lodging properties under the Comfort Suites, Sleep Inn, Econo Lodge, WoodSpring Suites, Comfort Inn, Radisson RED, and other brand names. The firm reported strong Q4 results, beating management's earnings guidance. Choice Hotels (NYSE:CHH) grew its net income by 16% and diluted EPS by 22%. Adjusted EBITDA set a new benchmark of growing 12% YoY. The leisure & business travel segment led a significant growth, with business travel accounting for 40% of the overall mix. Despite solid earnings, the company's 2025 outlook raises concerns. As per the guidance, projected net income for 2025 is $288-300MM with adjusted EBITDA ranging between $625-$640MM. However, achieving these targets is challenging due to the current economic uncertainty. Business travel growth may be impacted due to potential government layoffs and ongoing business uncertainty. Choice Hotels (NYSE:CHH) also offers the possibility for guests to earn airline miles, but the recent poor guidance by Delta Air Lines means these rewards are also unlikely to attract customers. Overall, CHH ranks 19th on our list of underperforming stocks targeted by short sellers. While we acknowledge the potential of CHH as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter time frame. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than CHH but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about this cheapest AI stock.
