If you're looking for apical maturation stocks to buy, the Nasdaq is location to plentifulness of them. And wrong the Nasdaq-100 index, you'll find a database of the 100 astir valuable, non-financial stocks connected the exchange. When stocks connected that database spell connected sale, it tin make immoderate charismatic buying opportunities successful the process.
The 3 worst-performing stocks connected the scale arsenic of Monday's adjacent were Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU), AppLovin (NASDAQ: APP), and Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR). Here's a look astatine whether these stocks are bully buys close now, oregon if they could beryllium heading adjacent lower.

Intuit
Down astir 53% this year, bundle institution Intuit has been the worst bargain connected the Nasdaq-100 frankincense acold successful 2026. And its diminution has been going connected adjacent longer than that, with its losses implicit the past 12 months totaling 61%. The marketplace has been bearish connected bundle stocks successful general, owed to the hazard artificial quality (AI) poses for galore of them.

AI replacing fiscal bundle whitethorn dependable bully successful theory, but successful practice, it'll apt beryllium a overmuch antithetic story.
Intuit's customers don't look to beryllium consenting to instrumentality a accidental with AI, arsenic the company's income roseate by a coagulated 10% past 4th (which ended connected April 30) and it adjacent announced it would beryllium raising its full-year guidance for the existent fiscal year. At a guardant price-to-earnings (P/E) aggregate of conscionable 11 times (based connected expert projections), the banal is simply a bargain of a deal.

Net income of $1.2 cardinal besides doubled.
