Listed below are two which have fallen greater than 40% inside a 12 months. For traders keen to take a longer-term view, I feel each are price contemplating shopping for right now.
All at sea
Sea Restricted‘s (NYSE:SE) inventory has crashed 45% since September, and is now buying and selling beneath $110. That is disappointing as a result of I purchased its shares at $128 simply earlier than Christmas.
This doesn’t fear me nevertheless, as a result of I intention to take a position for no less than 5 years. And over this kind of timeframe, I stay bullish on the corporate’s prospects.

Within the third quarter, the corporate’s income jumped 38% to $6bn, together with 60% progress within the fintech enterprise. Internet revenue soared 145% to $375m.
What’s thrilling right here is that Monee is rising strongly exterior the Shopee platform.

An enormous low cost within the FTSE 100
Turning to the FTSE 100 now’s RELX (LSE:REL), the proprietor of information and analysis platform LexisNexis. The group’s share worth has collapsed 25% 12 months up to now, the worst Footsie faller in 2026, and a stunning 45% since Might.
The worry right here is that regulation companies will begin utilizing AI instruments for authorized duties as an alternative of paying for a LexisNexis subscription.

In the meantime, RELX has launched its AI-powered analysis instruments, that are experiencing sturdy adoption amongst prospects. So the sell-off seems to be fully overdone.
The inventory’s at present going for 15.5 instances ahead earnings, which is an enormous low cost to the previous decade. RELX additionally now sports activities a forecast 3.3% dividend yield.
