7 Toxic Stocks to Avoid in Retirement: FireEye (FEYE)

YTD Return: -26%

Cybersecurity was one of the hottest industries in the stock market earlier this year, as a slew of corporate hack-attacks and a budding cyberwar with China, sent investors rushing into companies that safeguard against that sort of thing.

FireEye (FEYE) stock was a definite beneficiary of that trend, and at its peak in June, FEYE was up 75% on the year.

But these quick-to-rise, quick-to-fall stocks are no place to stash your retirement savings, as FEYE’s subsequent selloff would come to illustrate.

Investors awoke to the fact that they were paying more than 10 times sales for a risky business that is still years away from turning a profit.

Shares tumbled more than 20% on Thursday after the release of third-quarter earnings, when FireEye revealed a troubling deceleration in billings growth as it slashed full-year revenue guidance to $620 million to $628 million, down substantially from the $630 million to $645 million range.

Stocks to Sell: FireEye Inc (FEYE)

Last but not least, while there’s no doubt cybersecurity is going to be an increasingly important service as the world becomes increasingly digital and increasingly mobile, it’s also becoming increasingly clear the business model FireEye (FEYE) is using to penetrate that market simply isn’t going to work for the long haul.

That business model? Buying growth. That is, the M.O. for FEYE has been spending generously to acquire companies it can integrate into its existing operation.

The tactic has impressively grown the top line, but rather than its habitual losses shrinking as greater scale was found, they’ve held steady right around $134 million per quarter. What’s the point?

That being said, the lack of organic (and cost-effective) growth isn’t even the primary reason FEYE made this list of stocks to sell the next time it musters a little strength. The real red flag is quietly hiding on the balance sheet.

Up until the middle of last year, FireEye had avoided taking on debt to finance acquisitions. That’s changed, though. FireEye is now sitting on $706 million in long-term debt.

Granted, it’s also sitting on $1.17 billion in short-term assets, but at its current pace of losses and acquisitions, that cash and near-cash could be gone soon.

Throw in the fact that total equity continues to deteriorate as time moves on (it’s now down to $1 billion, from $1.25 billion just a year ago), and it becomes obvious the math of the business model just doesn’t make sense.

Stocks to Buy: FireEye Inc (FEYE)

Estimated 2016 Revenue Growth: 33%
Estimated 2017 Revenue Growth: 24%

Threat prevention leader FireEye (FEYE) has faced harsh criticism over the past year for its decelerated growth.

While FireEye may never again grow 150% or more in a single year, the company maintains an impressive growth rate. For 2016 and 2017, revenue will grow 33% and 25%, respectively.

Meanwhile, with FEYE shares down 57% the last year, its stock price is better aligned with the actual performance of its business. That’s why low expectations and the company’s strategic move toward FireEye-as-a-service (FaaS) could provide an unexpected spark for current owners of the stock.

FaaS has only penetrated 8% of FireEye’s customer base, and is already on a $100 million-plus revenue run rate after recently launching.

That success gives investors a reason to be excited.

Growth Stocks to Buy: FireEye Inc (FEYE)

After a bad start to the year, and a worse end to last year, FireEye (FEYE) stock has jumped more than 50% from its early February lows. The stock has struggled as the company’s growth slows and investors adjust their expectations.

Still, the company is expecting organic growth around 20% over last year and overall revenue to rise more than 33%. That’s rather impressive.

While FEYE has recovered some of its losses from earlier this year, it is still down more than 55% from this point in 2015. With FireEye being one of the better performers since mid-February, investors should like what they see in its short-term chart and the chances for its recent momentum to push the stock even higher.

After all, FEYE is still oversold.
