Volatility cuts both ways - while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains. This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors.
Navigating these stocks isn’t easy, which is why StockStory helps you find Comfort In Chaos. Keeping that in mind, here are two volatile stocks that could deliver huge gains and one best left to the gamblers.
One Stock to Sell:
WEX (WEX)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.41
Originally founded in 1983 as Wright Express to serve the fleet card market, WEX (NYSE: WEX) provides payment processing and business solutions across fleet management, employee benefits, and corporate payments sectors.
Why Do We Think Twice About WEX?
- 2.6% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its financials peers
- Earnings growth over the last two years fell short of the peer group average as its EPS only increased by 5.2% annually
- Low return on equity reflects management’s struggle to allocate funds effectively
WEX’s stock price of $155.79 implies a valuation ratio of 9.3x forward P/E. If you’re considering WEX for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
Two Stocks to Watch:
Distribution Solutions (DSGR)
Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.18
Founded in 1952, Distribution Solutions (NASDAQ: DSGR) provides supply chain solutions and distributes industrial, safety, and maintenance products to various industries.
Why Are We Fans of DSGR?
- Annual revenue growth of 17.3% over the last two years was superb and indicates its market share increased during this cycle
- Sound unit economics and 33.7% gross margin allow for higher marketing and R&D budgets versus competitors
- Earnings per share have massively outperformed its peers over the last two years, increasing by 22.6% annually
At $29.56 per share, Distribution Solutions trades at 19x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.

Why Could RUM Be a Winner?
