Bridget’s Buys: The Bottom 5 Stocks and What to Do NextBy Thomas Hughes. Date Posted: 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: This Could Turn $100 into $100,000
Bridget's Buys collects stocks selected by MarketBeat channel host Bridget Bennett. Bridget has tracked dozens of names and picked the most interesting to add to her watchlist. In early Q2, several holdings are underperforming and weighing on the overall portfolio. The question for investors is 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 made up of volatile, often early-stage names. While a few holdings are familiar, few 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 tied closely to data centers and AI infrastructure.

Forget about Trump’s ties to Israel.
Forget about reports of Iran’s nuclear program.

One takeaway for traders and investors is that diversification helps. Although some loss leaders are down by high-single-digit percentages, gains elsewhere have offset them, leaving the portfolio down roughly 6% as of early April — about in line with the S&P 500 over the same period. #5 Credo Technologies - Buy the Dip, Institutions Are Doing ItCredo Technologies (NASDAQ: CRDO) ranks as the 5th-biggest loser as of early April, pressured by concerns around AI and data-center demand. Despite the pullback, the fundamental outlook remains robust: more data centers are relying on high-speed, high-performance connectivity solutions. Price action largely reflects evolving expectations around data-center spending; the market is still discovering the opportunity, and the stock could rebound as upcoming earnings releases clarify the outlook. 
Analysts forecast a rapid growth trajectory, and upside potential is meaningful. Seventeen analysts tracked by MarketBeat rate the stock a Buy, with a consensus upside near 115%. Institutional investors were net buyers, accumulating at roughly a 3-to-1 pace in Q1 2026, and that trend may continue into Q2. #4 IonQ - Holding on as Revenue RampsIonQ (NYSE: IONQ) is a quantum computing company that has begun to monetize its technology. In early 2026 revenue has started to emerge, albeit modestly, and growth is forecast. The downside is that cash burn remains, and profitability is not expected soon. That has pushed short interest above 20%, which is weighing on the share price. 
Further downside is possible, but analysts and institutions have continued to accumulate shares. MarketBeat data shows analysts rate IonQ a Moderate Buy with roughly 150% potential upside, and institutions bought at just over a 3-to-1 ratio in Q1. #3 Oklo - Nuclear Potential Waiting for CommercializationOklo (NYSE: OKLO) likely still has its peak stock price ahead. The small-modular reactor company appears well-positioned to meet growing energy demand but must complete licensing to unlock profits. Oklo is on track for deployment in late 2027 or early 2028 and could reach operational profitability within a few quarters after completion. 
Analyst sentiment has firmed even as some price targets moderate. Many analysts still forecast a substantial upside (50% or more), and institutions are accumulating shares, suggesting higher highs are possible over time. #2 DraganFly - Approaching Lift-Off: Headwinds Are FierceDraganFly (NASDAQ: DPRO) looks like a company that could be doing better than its current results imply. The firm is in the middle of a production and revenue ramp, so the story may change, but competition is stiff and execution risks remain. 
Sell-side coverage is mixed. While analysts rate the stock a Strong Buy with a consensus near 200% upside, only four analysts are tracked and recent coverage included a price-target cut. Headwinds include last year’s significant dilution and elevated short interest. The chart suggests the stock could extend its decline in Q2, potentially suffering a high double-digit drop. #1 - Vertical Aerospace - Stock Price Is Going Inverted, Time to Bail OutVertical Aerospace (NYSE: EVTL) is a promising eVTOL OEM focused on supplier and production roles within aerospace. While its business model has advantages over some competitors, the company faces two major headwinds. First, cash flow is constrained: like many eVTOL players, Vertical has raised capital through debt and equity and will likely continue burning cash for the foreseeable future. 
Second, Vertical is a latecomer. It trails leaders such as Joby (NYSE: JOBY), which could commercialize operations as early as late this year. Analysts rate this stock as a Reduce, and short interest is high, making EVTL vulnerable to sharp price declines. |
