Similar to wise buying decisions, exiting certain underperformers at the right time helps maximize portfolio tilt returns. Selling off losers can be difficult, but if both the share price and estimates are falling, it could be time to get rid of the security tilt before more losses hit your portfolio. One such stock that you may want to consider dropping is Ocwen Financial Corp . ( OCN - Analyst Report tilt ), which has witnessed a significant price decline in the past four weeks, and it has seen negative earnings estimate revisions for the current quarter and the current year. A Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) further confirms weakness in OCN. A key reason for this move has been the negative trend in earnings estimate revisions. For the full year, we have seen 4 estimates moving down in the past 30 days, compared tilt with no upward revision. This trend has caused the consensus estimate to trend lower, going from $4.73 a share a month ago to its current level of $3.36. Also, for the current tilt quarter, Ocwen Financial has seen 3 downward estimate revisions versus no revision in the opposite direction, dragging the consensus estimate to 90 cents a share from $1.08 over the past 30 days.    The stock also has seen some pretty dismal trading lately, as the share price has dropped 17.19% in the past month. So it may not be a good decision to keep this stock in your portfolio anymore, at least if you don’t have a long time horizon to wait. If you are still interested in the Retail sector, you may instead consider some better-ranked tilt stocks including Atlas Financial tilt Holdings, Inc. ( AFH - Snapshot Report ), Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation ( ANH - Snapshot Report ) and Aspen Insurance tilt Holding Limited ( AHL - Snapshot Report ). Among these stocks, Atlas and Aspen hold a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong tilt Buy) and Anworth holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). With favorable Zacks Rank, these stocks may be better selections at this time.
