The choice of stocks is not only related to the knowledge of companies that deserve support; It is also related to the knowledge of any avoiding. With the latter in mind, I was looking at three shares in the UK, where I, where I am, are some of the most popular among the short sellers-the traders who bet their prices decrease.

Sales

To some extent, hate Domino pizza (LSE: dom) concept. Investors lost their appetite for FTSE 250 The member recently, as the cost crisis has changed the behavior of the consumer, and thus affected the profits. Only this month, the administration warned that the whole year profit will come in less than what was expected previously, and the high employment costs are not helped.

If there is a silver lining for this cloud, this is that competitors like Pizza Hut also feel pain and the closing sites forever. This can work for Domino if/when good times return.

The stocks change from the price ratio to the profits (P/E), which is also 11-it can be said that they are cheap given the highly published operating margins of year after year. The revenue of the profit distribution by 5.6 % is similarly attractive, and although it is never guaranteed, the expected profit must be covered.

It is unlikely that the weather in the UK in the UK is useful for sales. But the inevitable access to the cold days may mean that the brave contradictions will want to consider this.

The price of drowning arrow

Also in the list of most of the UK brief shares is listed on the goal list Ashtead Technoly Holdings (LSE: In.). Again, that’s not all of this. The value of the company – which provides sea technology solutions to the world abroad – decreased by a slightly more than 40 % in 2025 alone.

Ashtead has faced a number of issues, including geopolitical pressures and “”Great disturbance in the American market“In July, I stated that the modified profits for the whole year will come now.”Permanently below“Its previous appreciation. It seems that some merchants believe that the actual result may be worse than fear.

Despite the last terrible model, this company has continued to double the value since 2021. The AP/E of only eight indicates that FY25 indicates that many bad news have been taken into account.

The numbers of the half -year are due on August 26. A little good news can see that stocks jump. Any worst can easily leave even new underwater bearers. This is a little risky for me, as things stand.

But the “winner” is …

The forefront is Sainsbury (LSE: SBRY). Initially, I found this somewhat surprising. After all, the company’s share price, while it is backward FTSE 100 The index is a little, the height of 10 % year remains so far. This is somewhat impressive given that the consumer economy hardly shoots all cylinders. The return of 6.1 % is also attractive.

Drilling a little deeper, and I can see why some short sellers prepare saliva.

Sainsbury has already indicated that this year’s profits will be flat at best due to price wars. The margins can be further reduced if the costs continue to rise. Elsewhere, sales in Argos were declining.

The most disturbing to me though was important sale by many managers, including CEO Simon Roberts. It is clear that executives have the right to protect their wealth. But the fact that this happened EN Collective In April and May makes this foolish hesitant to think about taking a position today.
