Stocks to exit

Top 20 U.S. Stocks to Exit in 2025: As we move into the final quarter of 2025, the U.S. stock market is showing signs of sector rotation, AI froth fatigue, and policy-induced headwinds. With the Fed signaling prolonged higher interest rates and recent earnings exposing fundamental cracks in several high-flyers, now may be the right time to reassess your portfolio. While we believe in long-term investing, sometimes booking profits (or even taking losses) is the smartest strategy.

Based on Bloonser Macro Pulse – August 2025 (Read here) and recent technical breakdowns, here are 20 U.S. stocks to consider exiting now.


✨ Thematic Overview: What’s Driving the Exit?

  3. Regulatory Overhangs: Antitrust actions, TikTok ban impacts, and Biden/Trump election-related uncertainty.
  4. Technical Bearish Patterns: Breakdown of key support levels on the daily/weekly charts.
