Risk: A good way to gauge risk is by seeing how much ADI stock can fall in major market downturns. It sank nearly 70% in the Dot-Com crash and about 59% during the Global Financial Crisis. More recent shocks hit too — a 34% drop in the Covid pandemic and around 26% in the 2022 inflation surge. Even the smaller sell-offs, like the 2018 correction, sliced 23% off the price. Solid fundamentals matter, but when the market turns south, ADI isn’t immune to sizable dips.
ADI stock may have seen strong gains recently, but investing in a single stock without detailed, thorough analysis can be risky. The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming its benchmark that includes all 3 — the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
