A stock drops 20%.
The headlines turn negative.
Analysts cut targets.
Investors start asking, “What went wrong?”
But a falling share price doesn’t automatically mean the business got worse.
Sometimes the market is repricing expectations.
Sometimes the fundamentals are changing.
And sometimes… the market simply gets it wrong.
That’s why I’m trying to separate price action from business performance.
Before selling a stock after a big drop, I ask:
📉 Did the thesis actually break?
💰 Is cash flow getting worse?
🏦 Has the balance sheet changed?
📊 Are earnings expectations falling?
🚀 Or is sentiment simply weaker?
A red day is information.
It isn’t always a reason to sell.
The real question: is the stock cheaper — or is the business actually worse?
