sell-offs
Rapid asset disposals
Sell-offs is the plural of sell-off, a rapid selling of assets—typically stocks, bonds, or other securities—often triggered by panic, bad news, or market uncertainty.
A sell-off drives prices down as sellers outnumber buyers: The earnings report sparked a massive sell-off.
The term also applies to deliberate divestment: The company announced sell-offs of its underperforming divisions.
