Industrials Stocks to Avoid: Bel Fuse, ArcBest, and Stratasys Fall Short

Three industrials stocks that fall short of expectations are Bel Fuse (BELFA), ArcBest (ARCB), and Stratasys (SSYS). BELFA's revenue declined 1.5% annually over the last two years, and falling earnings per share raise concerns. ARCB's flat unit sales and decreasing earnings per share indicate soft demand and profitability issues. SSYS's sales tumbled 5.6% annually and suboptimal cost structure and increasing capital intensity are also concerns. These stocks are trading at high valuations, with BELFA at 18.6x forward P/E and ARCB at 15.8x.
