Today's Featured Content Is It Time to Take Profits on These 2025 Winners?Author: Dan Schmidt. First Published: 12/22/2025. 
In Brief - The S&P 500 is closing in on a third straight 20% annual gain, led by another year of impressive AI spending and growth.
- However, as the year draws to a close, some of 2025's biggest winners are flashing warning signs to investors.
- It might be time to take profits in these three stocks that scored huge gains in 2025.
What's your New Year's resolution for 2026? The most common answers tend to be health- and family-related: eating better, exercising more, and making a greater effort to see your loved ones. A Historic Gold Announcement Is About to Rock Wall Street?
For months, sharp-eyed analysts have watched the quiet buildup behind the scenes. Now, in just days, the floodgates are set to open. The greatest investor of all time could validate what Garrett Goggin has been saying for months: Gold is entering a once-in-a-generation mania. Front-running Buffett has never been more urgent — and four tiny miners could be your ticket to 100X gains. Click here to get Garrett's Top Four picks now. Investors can make resolutions, too — for example, contributing more to retirement accounts, using risk management techniques more effectively, or simply spending less time staring at account screens. Or maybe you let too many winners slip away by holding on even though warning bells were ringing. Knowing when to buy, hold, or sell is tricky and requires both experience and intuition. If your 2026 investment resolution is to hit the cash register more often, consider starting with these three 2025 winners. Three Stocks to Lock in Year-End Profits Know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em. It wasn't just poker that Kenny Rogers was singing about — walking away from a winning investment takes as much skill as finding winners in the first place. Many investors built and lost paper fortunes during the 2021 meme-stock craze because they didn't set ground rules or use any risk management. Don't repeat that mistake in 2026. Each of the three stocks below outperformed the S&P this year, but red flags are emerging. As always, buy-and-sell decisions depend on your personal goals, and taxes are an important consideration when selling at year-end. Consult a financial advisor or tax professional before making significant changes to your portfolio. Robinhood: Retail Enthusiasm Running Out of Steam Consumer sentiment has been floundering for much of 2025, but that didn't stop the active traders on Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD). HOOD shares are up more than 200% year-to-date (YTD), driven by strong revenue growth and soaring trading volume. The more people trade, the more money Robinhood makes. A post-tariff rally in stocks and cryptocurrencies helped the company report its first $1 billion quarter in Q3 2025. The premium Robinhood Gold tier reached 3.5 million members, creating another steady income stream. Prediction markets also remain extremely active — over 2.3 billion contracts were traded on the platform in Q3 alone.  Despite those impressive numbers, signs are mounting that Robinhood may be approaching a slowdown. In the company's November operating data, crypto trading volume fell 12% from October and 19% year-over-year (YOY). Options and equity volume were higher YOY but dropped 28% and 37%, respectively, from October. Technical traders may already be sensing the shift. The share price has slipped below the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), an area previously defended by buyers. A bearish MACD crossover and a series of lower highs since late September suggest momentum is fading. Given this, consider lightening up on a stock that was one of 2025's biggest winners. Constellation Energy: Nuclear Revolution Runs into Reality The energy sector benefited from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which included incentives for nuclear and geothermal power. That helped nuclear names like Constellation Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: CEG), and the company has positioned itself in the AI ecosystem through a deal with Microsoft to restart Three Mile Island. CEG shares are up more than 55% YTD, but trading at a tech-like valuation (roughly 40x earnings and 4.7x sales) raises expectations for sustained high growth. Many of Constellation's nuclear projects aren't expected to be online until 2027 at the earliest, and restarting a plant like Three Mile Island is likely to face regulatory and operational delays.  A lofty valuation and signs of slowing growth are difficult to reconcile. CEG shares have pulled back since hitting an all-time high in October. The 50-day SMA that once acted as support now appears to be resistance, and a bearish MACD crossover adds to the evidence of a tired rally. Investors have likely been taking profits in recent weeks. Vertiv Holdings: Valuation Concerns Amid Peak AI Hype Vertiv Holdings Co. (NYSE: VRT) is another AI-adjacent name that may have had its best run. Vertiv supplies cooling and infrastructure solutions for AI data centers, and its stock is up more than 40% YTD. Revenue growth has been strong — nearly 30% YOY through Q3 2025 — and the company's backlog tops $9.5 billion. Still, the stock trades at more than 60x earnings and about 7x sales. Management warned that Section 232 tariff headwinds could shave roughly 100 basis points off Q4 margins.  VRT has solid long-term tailwinds, but in the short term taking profits might be the prudent move. The stock recently broke the key 50-day SMA support level and shows a bearish MACD pattern similar to the other names discussed here. Technical indicators suggest caution, and a rotation out of tech and into sectors such as healthcare and banking has been gaining momentum.
