SOS Ltd. (SOS, Financial) and Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte SA (EDN, Financial) have reported significant losses with their holdings over the past couple of years, largely underperforming the S&P 500 Index.
Furthermore, these companies have negative recommendation ratings on Wall Street, indicating expectations of poor performance in the coming months.
Thus, shareholders may want to consider lowering their holdings in these two companies a little bit.
