Additional Reading from MarketBeat Don't Try to Catch These 3 Falling KnivesWritten by Dan Schmidt. Article Published: 2/23/2026. 
Key Points - Its tempting to try to catch a falling knife, and there are have been plenty of stocks that rebounded after a 50% or 60% decline.
- However, most stocks that drop precipitously do so for a reason, and attempting to catch them only results in more losses.
- These three stocks all have brand recognition and past successes, but their recent earnings reports point to more downside ahead.

Trying to catch a falling knife can be tempting, especially if it's a company you know well. Many of the biggest winners over the last 20 years suffered drawdowns of 40%, 50% or even 60% over extended periods, only to roar back to new all-time highs months or years later. But those are the stories we remember; it's easy to forget the formerly strong companies that suffered major drawdowns and never recovered. Yes, we're looking at you, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE: AMC). Today, we'll look at three companies that fit the latter category: falling knives facing serious headwinds you don't want to try to catch. PayPal Holdings: Branded Checkout Bust Adds to Market Share Losses It's hard to believe a company as ubiquitous as PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) could be facing such an existential challenge. Just a decade ago, many people relied on PayPal's apps to send payments, and Venmo was on its way to becoming a verb. Now PayPal and Venmo feel more like convenient ways to split a dinner bill than the dominant payment networks they once were. Point-of-sale apps like Apple Pay and Google Pay are rapidly eroding market share, and PayPal's recent earnings provided further evidence of the company's struggles. PayPal reported its Q4 2025 results on Feb. 3 and missed both top- and bottom-line estimates despite 4% year-over-year revenue growth. Venmo and the Buy Now, Pay Later business each posted about 20% revenue growth, but PayPal's branded online checkout grew just 1% year over year, down from 6% in the same quarter last year. The company also made a sudden CEO change, replacing Alex Chriss with Enrique Lores. 
Shares plunged more than 20% after the release, extending what's now an 85% drawdown over the last five years. The technical picture isn't encouraging: the stock has failed to breach the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) since last July and trades well below both the 50-day and 200-day SMAs. Even after spending nearly the entire month in oversold territory on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), the stock failed to bounce, which could signal more pain ahead for PayPal. Genuine Parts Co.: Massive Earnings Miss Compounds Financial Troubles Genuine Parts Company (NYSE: GPC) is still dealing with fallout from several financial headwinds, including the bankruptcy of a key vendor, First Brands Group. But the First Brands issue isn't the only strain on the balance sheet. A disappointing earnings report on Feb. 17 highlighted additional problems for the auto-parts supplier. The company's Q4 2025 earnings not only missed EPS and revenue expectations, they included significant pretax charges: $150 million related to First Brands and an additional $742 million tied to a pension settlement. Operating margins turned negative after increasing 3.3% in the same quarter last year, so this wasn't simply a miss driven by one-time items. 
GPC shares fell nearly 15% following the report and continued to slide in subsequent sessions, erasing all 2026 gains in a matter of hours. The losses pushed the price below both the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has turned bearish. Genuine Parts will likely need to show clear signs of a turnaround before the stock can recover. Vulcan Materials Company: In Search of a Housing Revival Vulcan Materials Co. (NYSE: VMC) released an earnings report this week that offered little comfort to investors. Despite strength across the industrials sector in 2026, Vulcan is lagging because the single-family housing market remains sluggish. The company sells materials such as gravel, sand and crushed stone to home builders, and the slow pace in that segment is weighing on results. Although the stock is up about 5% year to date, the Q4 2025 earnings painted a gloomy picture. Vulcan reported EPS of $1.70 versus an expected $2.11 — a roughly 20% miss — and revenue came in at $1.91 billion versus the $1.95 billion analysts anticipated. Guidance was tepid, with aggregate shipments expected to rise just 1–3%. With single-family housing weak, Vulcan is increasingly reliant on nonresidential construction such as data centers, which uses lower-grade materials than homes and may not fully offset the housing shortfall. 
The earnings miss triggered an initial 10% drop in the stock, though it finished the day down slightly less than 8%. That recovery stalled at the 50-day SMA; if that level now acts as resistance rather than support, it could signal further downside. The MACD's bearish crossover reinforces that risk for VMC investors.
