CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
Zacks.com releases details on a group of stocks that are currently
members of the exclusive Zacks #5 Rank List - Stocks to Sell Now.
These stocks are currently rated as a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell):
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (NYSE: LEH) and Sunoco Inc. (NYSE: SUN).
Further, Zacks announced #4 Rankings (Sell) on two other widely held
stocks: JB Hunt Transport Services Inc. (NASDAQ: JBHT) and Advanced
Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD). To see the full Zacks #5 Rank List - Stocks

Since inception in 1988, the S&P 500 has outperformed the Zacks #5
Rank List -- Stocks to Sell Now by 129% annually (+5.3% vs. +12.1%).
While the rest of Wall Street continued to tout stocks during the
market declines of the last few years, Zacks told investors which
stocks to sell or avoid.

Here is a synopsis of why LEH and SUN have a Zacks Rank of #5
(Strong Sell) and should most likely be sold or avoided for the next
one to three months. Note that a #5 Strong Sell rating is applied to
5% of all the stocks in the Zacks Rank universe:

Lehman Bros. Holdings Inc. (NYSE: LEH) is the latest victim of the
big squeeze in financials, as the company has been forced to raise
capital to pad its balance sheet after suffering a $2.8 billion loss
in its most recent quarter. In turn, the company's share price has
taken a beating, dropping from over $66 in late January to its current
price just a pinch above $21. Estimates have plummeted with the stock
price, with the current-year estimate dropping to a loss of $1.25 from
$4.45 just 30 days ago.

Sunoco Inc. (NYSE: SUN) has struggled to maintain its
profitability as refiners continue to suffer the adverse effects of
the "crack spread," the difference in cost between purchasing a barrel
of oil and producing consumable gasoline. This market dynamic was the
driving force behind the company's first quarter loss, reported on Apr
30, of $59 million, compared to earnings in the same period last year
of $175 million.

Here is a synopsis of why AMD and JBHT have a Zacks Rank of 4
(Sell) and should also most likely be sold or avoided for the next one
to three months. Note that a #4 Sell rating is applied to 15% of all
the stocks ranked by Zacks;

Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) share price has been in a
steady decline for most of the past year, dropping from over $16 to
its current price of less than $8. Much of the loss has been
predicated on the company's struggle to move into profitable
territory, as AMD has reported losses in each of the last four
quarters. Estimates continue to decline, with the current-year
estimate dropping from a loss of $1.04 90 days ago to its current
projection of a loss of $1.44.

JB Hunt Transport Services Inc. (NASDAQ: JBHT) is in a precarious
position because of the company's significant exposure to fuel and
gasoline prices. The company's share price has been resilient in spite
of the company's weak first-quarter results, reported on Apr 15.
Income was down 18%, falling short of analyst expectations. The
company noted that sales in its trucking segment were down 20%.
