7 Stocks Tanking Today & Staying Healthy on the Road 4-30-25
Wed, 30 Apr 2025
In this episode, Scott Becker covers seven stocks facing sharp declines and shares practical tips for maintaining health and wellness during busy business events and conferences.
What stocks are tanking today and why?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. We're really going to talk about two different things today. We're going to talk about different ways in which people stay healthy, and we're also going to talk about seven stocks taking on the chin today. So I'm going to talk first about seven stocks that are just getting killed today. These include Bausch & Lomb,
Snapchat and Hertz each down more than 10%. Bausch & Lomb on horrendous first quarter earnings, missing their targets and missing their sales targets. Snapchat also deciding not to provide guidance going forward. Hertz itself struggling too. Then you've also got a whole number of other companies Etsy, Starbucks, Hims and Hers, and Hitachi also way down today.
Hims and Hers, of course, is up 23% yesterday, so being down 6% today is not a big deal. Starbucks down 6.5% to 7% based on lower same-store sales and so forth, and Etsy probably in the same sort of area as Snapchat, just finding conditions to be more challenging than they were before. This is in the backdrop of a challenging market that we're seeing out there.
One of the things that we're also talking about is...
people at conferences and trying to maintain their diet and exercise habits and sort of this this wide range and they love to get feedback from people what they try and do whether trying to remain gluten-free for health reasons or for fitness reasons wearables and tracking whether wearing an aura ring an apple watch or whatever they're doing to try and keep track of their steps so even when they're at a conference when they're at a business event
They keep their steps up. If you're a regular practitioner of jujitsu or other types of things and you can't use your wearables, then making sure that you're getting out and trying to schedule a class, even though you're busy with conference and business stuff or do whatever you can to maintain your fitness when you're on the road, trying to eat healthy, which is a great challenge during the road.
I talked recently to a colleague who's who's off to, I think, Pot bellies or something of that sort and trying to eat healthy at a place like Potbelly is always a challenge, but working at it better than probably Chipotle. And then finally, trying to drink massive amounts of water and stay hydrated, which is one of the great qualities for staying healthy too, but constantly a challenge too.
And there, of course, one of the challenges with drinking a ton of water, if you drink a ton of water, a ton of coffee, and you have to be on stage all the time, this can be a problem because then you have to go to the bathroom and you can't do it when you're on stage all the time.
In any event, this is our great pleasure today to record in person with the team from Executive Podcast Solutions, the best team in the business, and just a lot of fun for me. Again, today's episode, seven stocks that are taken on the chin today, plus some thoughts on health business events. Thank you for listening to the Becker Private Equity Business Podcast.
