Manufacturing companies are vital for investors to keep within their portfolios and for the economy to subsist and expand. Industrials should be a major portion of any investment portfolio due to the fact that it’s typically a robust industry that can provide substantial growth and profound resiliency.

Because dividend investing has such an impressive track record of beating non-dividend-paying stocks, many investors buy Dividend Aristocrats for their portfolios. It’s not a bad strategy to begin with. Dividend Aristocrats are stocks on the S&P 500 that have consistently raised their payouts for 25 years or more. Studies show stocks that initiate a dividend
Not all stocks have succeeded in the bull market that began about 18 months ago. In the current market, a rising tide has not lifted all boats. In fact, there are some very notable names that are currently on the decline. Who would have predicted a year ago that names such as electric vehicle maker
Big money tends to flow from one sector to the other. During the pandemic, sectors like pharmaceutical and e-commerce were hot. This was followed by major buying interest in electric vehicles and other energy transition themes. When money flows out from one sector, it generally translates into undervaluation. This seems to be the case with
We’re still not prepared for cyberattacks. That includes the U.S. government, hospitals, corporations and millions of people all over the world. Most recently, telecom Frontier Communications (NASDAQ:FYBR) was forced to shut down certain systems following an attack on when a third party “gained unauthorized access to portions of its information technology environment,” as noted by Seeking
The economy is recovering after the rate hike’s turbulent effects. Sharp investors are looking for opportunities to profit from this turnaround. In a dynamic macroeconomic environment, several industries and businesses are efficient in adapting and strategically positioning themselves to capitalize on the resurgence of demand.

Investing in retirement is a little different. While people may focus on growth and gains when they are accumulating wealth and trying to enlarge their nest egg, once retired, the focus tends to switch to preserving existing capital and adding new money through regular dividend payments. For these reasons, investors in retirement should seek out
Amazon stock (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock remains one of the top tech stocks to buy in 2024. The company remains a leader in the technology and retail landscape, and has a number of tailwinds to drive growth in the 2024 fiscal year. Apart from their strong positioning in the AI race, Amazon’s e-commerce business continues to hold
The artificial intelligence (AI) hype is fueling the market to new highs. As per a report from PwC, AI could contribute $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. And the greatest economic gains will be in China and North America. Nasdaq and S&P 500 hit new highs driven by the soaring “Magnificent Seven”. If you are not investing in the multibagger
Volatility is rising in the stock market. Between the recent hot inflation data and mounting geopolitical tensions, investors are starting to reassess the broader economic environment. It seems that the Federal Reserve might not come through with previously anticipated interest rate cuts. This, in turn, has the potential to greatly reduce the speculative juices in
The EV sector continues to undergo a period of extreme difficulty. EV sales growth is slowing, adoption rates are not as high as they once were, and global demand has weakened severely. All of those factors suggest that investors should purge their portfolios of these EV stocks to sell. It’s still too far too early to
It’s been a month since Boeing (NYSE:BA) CEO Dave Calhoun announced that he would step down at the end of 2024. While his departure wasn’t termed a “firing,” there is no question Calhoun’s name would have been on a list, if there were one, of CEOs that need to be fired. The embattled company was
The robotics industry is expected to reach $95.93 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 15.91%.

Finding possibilities with high growth potential is crucial in the fast-paced world of investments. Three stocks to buy, in particular, stand out as possible game-changers in the tech sector. These companies have proven their strategic insight and perseverance in facing difficulties and market swings, making them appealing investments. The first has sharpened its emphasis on
I’d argue that investing in the Dow in April is a particularly smart move. Dow Jones stocks represent 30 of the most prominent U.S. firms. Stocks listed in the Dow tend to be more defensive than the Nasdaq and other indices. The reason that matters is that investors are currently seeking safety. Rate cut expectations
The electric vehicle (EV) has been continuously growing as we transition into sustainable energy and resources. Due to increased environmental awareness and consideration, consumers and governments are favoring EVs over traditional gas-fueled cars. As a result, this represents a high-growth potential market for EV producers. In 2023, the global sales for EVs surpassed 13.6 million,
I have been down on Palantir stock (NASDAQ:PLTR) for some time. It is, at its heart, a government contractor. Calling it an AI stock doesn’t change that. Military contracting is a profitable but slow-growth business. Palantir brought almost 10% of last year’s $2.25 billion in revenue to the bottom line. The question is always whether
Finding stocks to buy in today’s relatively overvalued and volatile market isn’t as easy as it was when initial rate cuts dropped top stocks to bottom-barrel pricing. While many quickly point to tech stocks as the main wealth drivers in today’s economy, forward-thinking investors know to seek diversification across industries, geographic locations, size, scale, and
The rubber hit the road on April 15 as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) announced it was cutting more than 10% of its global headcount to reduce costs and increase productivity. “As we prepare the company for our next phase of growth, it is extremely important to look at every aspect of the company for cost reductions and
Trade wars are always destructive. The current escalation in the chip wars will be no different. The Biden administration banned the use of equipment from China’s Huawei and ZTE over alleged national security concerns. Semiconductor stocks like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) were prohibited from selling their high-end chips to China. Now Beijing is retaliating. It is barring
