Market Performance Snapshot: 2025

The S&P 500 increased by over 16% in 2025 despite mixed performances among individual stocks. Notably, three stocks significantly underperformed: Deckers Outdoor (NYSE: DECK) fell 49%, The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD) plummeted 68%, and Fiserv (NASDAQ: FISV) decreased by 67% over the year.

Stock Performance Details

Deckers reported net sales of $1.4 billion for Q3 2025, a modest 9% increase from the previous year, impacted by tariffs and slowing growth. Trade Desk generated $739 million in revenue for the same quarter, reflecting an 18% growth that was lower than the prior year’s 27%. Fiserv’s financial challenges included stagnant revenue growth and leadership changes, severely affecting investor confidence.

Valuation Perspective

Deckers trades at a P/E ratio of 16, while Trade Desk’s is notably high at 43, despite its substantial decline. Fiserv’s P/E is at 10, suggesting it may be undervalued but lacks compelling growth prospects. Investors are advised to approach these stocks cautiously based on current market conditions.
