![Macy's on Herald Square in Manhattan, New York, January 7, 2016.](https://img.money.com/2017/07/170707-high-profile-stocks-down-twenty-percent-macys.jpg?crop=0px%2C57px%2C2100px%2C1182px&quality=85)
*Macy's on Herald Square in Manhattan, New York, January 7, 2016.*

By most measures, the eight-year-old bull market is alive and kicking.

In fact, most of the major U.S. stock market indexes just recently hit new all-time highs, including the Dow Jones industrial average, the S&P 500 index of blue chip stocks, the Russell 2000 index of small-company shares, the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index, and most recently, [the Dow Transportation index,](https://money.com/wall-street-stocks-bull-market-indicator/) which history says is a great sign for Wall Street.

Still, not all stocks are participating in this year's rally — and that has some investors [worried about how much longer](https://money.com/stock-market-predictions-investors/) this party could last.

Just last week, the high-tech automaker Tesla slipped into its [own personal bear market](https://money.com/heres-how-much-money-elon-musk-and-tesla-lost-in-the-past-two-weeks/) when the stock fell roughly 20% from its late June highs. Yet while few are crying for Tesla founder Elon Musk — who remains a billionaire 16 times over — it's not just Tesla shares that are starting to slide.

Dozens of widely held shares of brand-name companies — most of them concentrated in the tech, energy, and retail sectors — have quietly fallen by 20% or more in 2017.

Here are 25 of those stocks that you're most likely to own — or have heard of — in descending order of their year-to-date declines:

* * *

## Transocean

**Ticker: RIG**

Industry: Offshore drilling  
Year-to-date decline: -46.5%  
Decline from peak: -94.8%

**Why it's down:** [Crude oil prices](http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/24/gartman-the-oil-bear-market-has-turned-crude-into-a-worthless-commodity.html) have slipped into their own bear market, which is hurting a number of players in the energy sector. "There is almost nowhere to find shelter in oil and gas during the current downturn, but no sub-sector faces more challenging fundamentals than offshore drilling," says Morningstar analyst Preston Caldwell.

* * *

## Advance Auto Parts

**Ticker: AAP**

Industry: Specialty retail  
Year-to-date decline: -39.7%  
Decline from peak: -48.9%

**Why it's down:** Consider it a double whammy: The [auto market is struggling](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/04/business/automaker-jobs-trump.html?_r=0), as is the retail sector, putting auto parts retailers in a bind.

* * *

## O'Reilly Automotive

**Ticker: ORLY**

## Macy's

**Ticker: M**

Industry: Department stores  
Year-to-date decline: -34.6%  
Decline from peak: -68.9%

**Why it's down:** After buying up many of its competitors, Macy's is now one of the country's biggest brick-and-mortar retailers — at a time when being a brick-and-mortar retailer isn't a winning proposition. The company is now looking for ways to reverse [same-store sales declines,](http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/11/macys-reports-first-quarter-earnings.html) cut costs, and find new avenues for growth.

* * *

## Signet Jeweler

**Ticker: SIG**

Industry: **Specialty retail**  
Year-to-date decline: -33.6%  
Decline from peak: -58.8%

**Why it's down:** Increasing online sales threaten the revenues of this predominantly mall-based jewelry chain.

* * *

## Marathon Oil

**Ticker: MRO**

Industry: Oil production  
Year-to-date decline: -33.2%

Year-to-date decline: -32.2%  
Decline from peak: -45.3%

**Why it's down:** The largest traditional supermarket chain in the country is being threatened by giant discounters such as Walmart, as well as Amazon.com, which just announced its acquisition of Whole Foods.

* * *

## Hess

**Ticker: HES**

Industry: Oil production  
Year-to-date decline: -32.1%  
Decline from peak: -58.3%

**Why it's down:** Like Marathon, Hess is making a big push into shale development, but getting hurt by falling oil prices.

* * *

## Tractor Supply

**Ticker: TSCO**

Industry: Specialty retail  
Year-to-date decline: -32.0%  
Decline from peak: -47.2%

Decline from peak: -53.1%

Year-to-date decline: -26.3%  
Decline from peak: -63.0%

**Why it's down:** Despite a strong housing market, this home and lifestyle retailer has struggled to boost sales growth. Bed Bath & Beyond "has struggled to stay abreast of evolving consumer demand in a retailing industry that has become increasingly competitive, leading the company to experience persistent coupon redemptions, a behavior that could be difficult to break," says [Morningstar analyst Jaime Katz](http://analysisreport.morningstar.com/stock/research?t=XNAS:BBBY&region=usa&culture=en-US&cur=).

* * *

## Akamai Technologies

**Ticker: AKAM**

Industry: Technology  
Year-to-date decline: -26.2%  
Decline from peak: -34.3%

**Why it's down:** This tech company is a leading supplier to online content delivery networks. But as giant streaming services and e-commerce players gain strength, "bargaining power is shifting from Akamai to Facebook, Apple, Netflix, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, which account for the majority of total web traffic," [says Morningstar analyst Alex Zhao.](http://analysisreport.morningstar.com/stock/research?t=XNAS:AKAM&region=usa&culture=en-US&cur=)

* * *

**Ticker: UA**

Industry: Specialty retail  
Year-to-date decline: -23.6%

* * *

**Ticker: GWW**

Industry: Industrial supply and service  
Year-to-date decline: -21.7%  
Decline from peak: -33.6%

Year-to-date decline: -21.5%
