Blue-chip stocks are always profitable or on the verge of entering the black, and the Street is currently in love with profitable companies.

While the stock market has been rallying lately, not every equity is marching higher. Many stocks are continuing to slide deeper into red on the year.

At the start of November, price action with ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT) stock may have given investors a ray of hope. But since this brief 32% move higher, CHPT has dwindled in price once again.
