If you love the company, assess financial health and forecast good outlook, it doesn’t matter what the short term price is. As a matter of fact it’s an advantage. You are getting the stock then at a discounted rate. Not even considering the discount from an employer perspective. It’s recommended to put as much as you can in ESPP.

Like others mentioned, I sell right away and dump it into an index fund. If you truly like the stock I don’t see any harm in keeping a small portion of your portfolio in it.
