Bridget’s Buys: The Bottom 5 Stocks and What to Do NextSubmitted by Thomas Hughes. Published: 4/8/2026. 
Key Points
- Bridget's Buys is a list of compelling stock ideas that reflect the power of diversification.
- Losers are offset by winners: cutting losses can help improve overall return.
- Risk management is critical for long-term, repeatable investment success.
- Special Report: Elon Musk already made me a “wealthy man”
Bridget's Buys is a compilation of stocks selected by MarketBeat channel host Bridget Bennett. She’s been exposed to dozens of names and has added the most interesting to her watchlist. The concern in early Q2 is that several holdings are underperforming, weighing on the portfolio's overall performance. The big questions are why these cutting-edge names are down, whether they remain buys, or if it’s time to cut losses. To be clear, Bridget's Buys is a highly speculative portfolio of varied and often volatile names. While some selections are familiar, almost none qualify as stable, blue-chip operators with entrenched businesses. Of the top 10 movers (the five biggest winners and five biggest losers), only two look like buy-and-hold candidates: Micron Technologies (NASDAQ: MU) and Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL), both closely tied to data centers and AI infrastructure.
Louis Navellier: Don't buy OR sell another AI stock…
Until you've heard this urgent AI warning from the man who called Nvidia before its 44,000% rise… According to Louis, a massive reset is coming in an obscure corner of the AI market. This $100 trillion disruption could send some of the world's biggest AI stocks to zero… and one off-the-radar stock soaring… starting now. Click here for details and Louis' new pick — free.
One takeaway for traders and investors is that diversification helps. Although the biggest losers are down by high single-digit percentages, gains elsewhere offset some losses, leaving the portfolio down about 6% as of early April. A 6% decline isn’t great, but it roughly matches the S&P 500 over the same period. #5 Credo Technologies - Buy the Dip, Institutions Are Doing ItCredo Technologies (NASDAQ: CRDO) is down as of early April, making it the fifth-largest loser in the portfolio amid concerns tied to AI and data-center spending. Despite near-term fears, the fundamental outlook remains strong: more data centers require high-speed, high-performance connectivity solutions. Chart action has been driven by the rapid acceleration in datacenter spending and its effect on future guidance; the market appears to be in discovery mode and may rebound as subsequent earnings releases roll in. 
Analysts forecast a brisk growth trajectory, and the upside potential is notable. Seventeen analysts tracked by MarketBeat rate the stock a Buy, with a consensus upside of roughly 115%, and institutions have been accumulating. Institutional flows showed about a $3-to-$1 accumulation pace in Q1 2026 and that trend appears likely to continue into Q2. #4 IonQ - Holding on as Revenue RampsIonQ (NYSE: IONQ) is a distinctive quantum-computing name that can monetize its technology. In early 2026 its revenue stream is beginning to open, albeit modestly, and growth is forecast. The downside is persistent cash burn; profitability isn’t expected anytime soon. That reality has kept short interest elevated (above 20%), which weighs on the share price. 
The risk is further downside, but analysts and institutions continue to add to positions. MarketBeat data shows analysts rate IonQ a Moderate Buy with potential upside around 150%, and institutions bought at a ratio exceeding $3-to-$1 in Q1. #3 Oklo - Nuclear Potential Waiting for CommercializationOklo (NYSE: OKLO) likely hasn’t yet seen its peak stock price. The small-modular reactor company is positioned to meet growing demand; it largely needs to complete licensing to unlock the path to profits. Management is targeting late 2027 to early 2028 deployment, with operational profitability expected within a few quarters after completion. 
Analyst sentiment appears to be firming even as some price targets moderate. Still, analysts continue to project a substantial upside—50% or more—and higher highs are possible over time. Institutions are also accumulating shares. #2 DraganFly - Approaching Lift-Off: Headwinds Are FierceDraganFly (NASDAQ: DPRO) is a company that might be doing better than its current price suggests. It is in the midst of a production and revenue ramp, so the narrative could change, but competition is stiff and execution risks remain. 
Analyst coverage is limited but bullish: analysts rate the stock a Strong Buy with roughly 200% upside, though only four analysts are tracked and recent coverage has included at least one price-target cut. Headwinds include last year’s significant share dilution and elevated short interest. The chart suggests downward pressure in Q2 and the potential for a high double-digit decline, giving investors reason to be cautious. #1 - Vertical Aerospace - Stock Price Is Going Inverted, Time to Bail OutVertical Aerospace (NYSE: EVTL) is a promising eVTOL company focused on OEM production for the aerospace market. While its business model has advantages versus rivals trying to create entirely new markets, two major issues work against it. First is funding: like other eVTOL developers, Vertical has raised capital through debt and equity and is likely to continue burning cash for the foreseeable future. 
Second is its relative lateness to market. Vertical is a laggard compared with leaders such as Joby (NYSE: JOBY), which could commercialize operations as early as late this year. Analysts rate this stock a Reduce, and short interest is high, making it vulnerable to sharp price declines. |
