The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is down 0.2% in early afternoon trade on Thursday, with these three ASX 200 shares not helping matters as they sink to new one-year plus lows.
Now, if you’re on the hunt for bargain priced ASX stocks, take note.
While new multi-year lows can represent a potentially strategic long-term entry point, there’s no guarantee that these stocks won’t continue to slide.
So, before you hit that buy button, do some thorough research â or reach out for professional advice â to minimise the odds you’re trying to catch the proverbial falling knife.
With that saidâ¦
ASX 200 shares slumping to one-year plus lows
The first large-cap company hitting new one-year plus lows today is WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC).
Shares in the global logistics software solutions company are down 0.9% at time of writing, trading for $50.80 each. That’s the lowest levels for this ASX 200 share since January 2023.
WiseTech shares have plunged 13.9% over the past five days. With no fresh news out from the company that’s likely to spook investors, the selling pressure looks to be related to the broader AI fuelled sell-off in global software stocks.
With AI capabilities continuing to advance at breakneck, investors fear that the technology could soon disrupt the business models of most software focused stocks.
Moving on to the second ASX 200 share pluming new one-year plus lows today, real estate investment trust (REIT) Dexus (ASX: DXS).
Dexus shares have recovered from steeper losses posted earlier today but remain down 0.1% at time of writing, trading for $6.58 each.
That’s the lowest share price since June 2024.
There’s also no recent fresh news out from Dexus. But investors could be eyeing the ongoing, and growing, weakness in Australia’s office vacancies. Dexus has a large holding of quality office properties.
The prospect of ongoing elevated interest rates also isn’t going to offer any help to rate sensitive stocks like REITs.
Which brings us toâ¦
Also plumbing one-year plus lows today
The third ASX 200 share sliding to one-year plus lows today is Guzman Y Gomez (ASX: GYG).
Shares in the Mexican fast food restaurant chain are down 2.0% in early afternoon trade on Thursday, changing hands for $20.27 apiece.
That’s the lowest level ever for Guzman Y Gomez shares, which first began trading on the ASX on 20 June 2024.
Guzman Y Gomez shares have plunged 48.5% over the past 12 months.
While painful for faithful stockholders, the ongoing slide will be welcomed by the raft of short sellers betting against the stock.
The ASX 200 share kicked off this week with a short interest of 13.7%.
