Teladoc. Two times sales, a lot of negative sentiment on the stock (which I like to see so long as the business is sustaining).

Bet on the long-term for the segment and their position. Their operating condition is sound and they have plenty of cash. Future returns were pulled forward during the pandemic era for things like remoting xyz (eg Zoom is suffering from that beating now as well). Let the bearishness rip these stocks up (a hard swing back from the insane bullishness previously, which is typical of speculators), take advantage of the stupidity that will abound in the selling down (exactly as it did on the way up).

This is when you start looking at buying opportunities, to generate the returns later (even if it takes years). You take advantage of the big runs to sell to the fools chasing stocks like Teladoc at 6x-7x the present valuation. Buy sound companies with good growth horizons, bet longer-term in your calculating, buy cheaply enough to have a great moat / margin of safety. Rinse and repeat over time. It's all about taking advantage of the rampant irrationality, either direction.

Just don't make the mistake of significantly overpaying and the odds are tilted that much more in your favor.
