Wallflower
(redirected from Wall flower)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Wallflower
Stock that has fallen out of favor with investors; stock that tends to have a low P/E (price-to-earnings ratio).

Orphan Stock
A stock that is not often tracked by analysts. This may be because it is not very well known or because it belongs to an industry that is generally performing poorly. As a result these stocks have low demand and often a low price. Some value investors recommend buying orphan stocks because they could be undervalued. However, because demand is low, orphan stocks have low trading volume and a small change in demand may result in volatility in price. An orphan stock is also called a wallflower.

wallflower
An out-of-favor security, company, or industry.

If you haven't heard it, you'll think you have and even the staunchest wall flowers will be shuffling along with a smile on their faces.
Without a doubt this isn't a choice for wall flowers, as colours are bold and bright - or neon if you really want to wow.
