Cautionary Approach to Russell 2000 Stocks: TreeHouse Foods, Edgewell Personal Care, and PAR Technology

Three Russell 2000 stocks to avoid are TreeHouse Foods (THS), Edgewell Personal Care (EPC), and PAR Technology (PAR). THS has struggled with declining unit sales and commoditized products, while EPC lacks organic revenue growth and has shrinking free cash flow margin. PAR Technology has negative free cash flow and returns on capital, with a short cash runway and potential for dilutive capital raises.
