With the S&P 500 on track to generate a total return of more than 30%, 2021 has been a strong year for investors.
Historically low interest rates, a continued economic expansion, and record earnings helped drive most S&P 500 stocks into positive territory, with some of the top performing stocks jumping as much as 200%.
But there were still about 70 stocks within the popular index that generated negative returns in 2021, including casino stocks and high-fliers from 2020 that have since consolidated their gains.
These were the top 10 worst-performing S&P 500 stocks in 2021, according to data from Koyfin, and based on December 28 closing prices.
