Knowing which ASX stocks to buy and which to avoid is important for investors.
To help you identify the latter, let's take a look at three stocks that analysts are tipping as sells this week, courtesy of The Bull.
Here's what they are saying about them:

Boss Energy Ltd (ASX: BOE)
The team at Baker Young thinks that this uranium producer is an ASX stock to sell.
Despite its shares falling heavily over the last three months, the broker believes there are better opportunities out there for investors. It said:
This uranium producer owns 100 per cent of the Honeymoon project in South Australia and 30 per cent of the Alta Mesa project in the US. The company generated total revenue of $75.596 million in fiscal year 2025, its first full financial year of production. It reported a net loss after tax of $34.168 million, primarily driven by non-cash impacts. A review on the Honeymoon project's resource base and development costs may weigh on the share price until results are released later this year. The shares have fallen from $4.48 on July 1 to trade at $2.06 on September 25. We see more attractive risk/reward opportunities elsewhere in the sector.
Magellan Financial Group Ltd (ASX: MFG)
Over at Seneca Financial Solutions, its analysts think that fund manager Magellan is one to avoid right now. This week, they labelled its shares as a sell.
This sell recommendation is largely on valuation grounds, with Seneca Financial Solutions suggesting that investors take profit after recent gains. It said:
This fund manager invests in global equities. Operating profit of $159.7 million in fiscal year 2025 was up 5 per cent on the prior corresponding period. However, statutory net profit after tax of $165 million was down 31 per cent. We see downside risks to consensus in response to lower associate profits, higher sub-advisory fees and lower distribution income. We also see risks to upside in regard to potential outflows. The shares have risen from $6.45 on April 7 to trade at $9.62 on September 25. Investors may want to consider cashing in some gains.
Santos Ltd (ASX: STO)
Finally, Peak Asset Management doesn't believe investors should be buying the dip after this ASX energy stock sank last week following the collapse of its takeover approach.
It believes that investor sentiment could remain weak until management can demonstrate how it will deliver shareholder value. The asset manager said:
Shares in this energy giant were heavily sold off after the $US30 billion takeover bid from the XRG Consortium was withdrawn just days before the expected decision date, sending the stock down more than 11 per cent in a single session on September 18, 2025. This outcome removes a key near-term re-rating catalyst and puts Santos management under pressure to demonstrate how it will deliver shareholder value. We believe investor sentiment may remain weak as the market digests the failed transaction and re-focuses on execution risk at the Barossa LNG project and Pikka Phase 1 development.
