The stock market is a dynamic place to invest, and selecting the correct equities to add to a portfolio may be likened to unearthing treasures within an enormous mine. When pursuing financial expansion, dividend stocks stand out as stability and income production pillars. Seven stocks stand out as true stars since they promise significant gains
The Nasdaq recently slid below 16,000 points again after reaching a fresh high. This pullback was largely due to the hotter-than-expected inflation report, which points to the Federal Reserve maintaining high interest rates for a few more months, possibly even beyond Q2 if inflation persists. Elevated rates and bearish sentiment spell trouble for growth stocks
With major stock markets reaching new highs in Q1, some investors are looking for stocks to buy to exploit the lack of “breadth”. A small number of large-cap stocks with significant weightings have propelled upward movement, while many stocks have underperformed despite a rising market. For recent gains to prove sustainable, breadth must broaden to
These are three St. Patrick’s Day stocks for investors to add to their portfolios. I believe these companies will see a boost in sales and consumer interest around the March 17th holiday celebrating Irish culture. However, I don’t expect them to be simply short-term performers. While the festive St. Patrick’s Day period provides an annual
Nvidia (NVDA) kicked off its GPU Technology Conference (GTC) last night with a keynote speech from CEO Jensen Huang. It’s not hyperbole to say that Huang’s speech was arguably the most anticipated speech in the history of AI. And he didn’t let us down. Now, rest assured that we’ll get into those details in a
There are multiple reasons dividend stocks are the first choice for many investors. First, these stocks provide regular cash flows that serve as a passive income source. Further, dividend stocks, in general, are low-beta and provide stability to the portfolio. It’s a bonus for investors if there are undervalued dividend stocks to buy. Once the
With 38 states now legalizing the use of medical cannabis, the market for cannabis stocks is better than ever. It is expected to grow tremendously in the years to come. Retailers, property owners, technology, and medicinal providers all exist within this market. They create a high demand for these hot stocks this year. These three
Three companies have emerged as true titans in the rapidly changing financial and technological industries, ready to spearhead the next global boom. These companies have succeeded financially in a sea of uncertainty by going above and beyond the norm. Their tales, replete with tenacity, inventiveness, and tactical forethought, read like contemporary epics. With its rapid
EV charging stocks have been having it rough lately due to the slowdown in the EV market. However, it’s tough to write them off so quickly, especially considering the massive long-term growth potential in the EV sphere. On top of that, once the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates, interest in riskier bets, such as
If you’re wondering about which AI stocks to sell, look no further. With AI chatbots first going viral in 2023 many analysts have started questioning the hype cycle around AI. While generative AI has proven to shorten workflows around coding and stock imagery, price corrections could be on the way. There are certainly some negative
Augmented reality is a powerful technology that doesn’t get nearly enough attention these days, as it’s the other “A” term — artificial intelligence — that gets more attention from investors. As the mixed-reality headset wars play out in the background, primarily between Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) — two firms that also happen to
The market hasn’t been kind to small-cap stocks. Over the last three years, the Russell 2000 index lost over 11% of its value compared to 30% gains by its larger brethren in the S&P 500. Rampant inflation and rising interest rates hit small-cap stocks far harder than the largest stocks on the market. Yet, beginning
In January 2024, Walmart (NYSE:WMT) announced it was conducting a 3-for-1 stock split which was executed in February. This was the tenth stock split in the company’s history. That is leading some investors to wonder if there are other stocks to watch for stock splits in 2024. When a company splits its stock, it
Some overlooked stocks remain obscure and wait for astute investors to spot them. This happens even in the middle of Wall Street’s busy trading floors and the digital chaos of online investing platforms. Within the rapidly evolving banking industry, where the newest market darlings often make headlines, three unsung heroes are discreetly laying the groundwork
On the surface, electric-vehicle battery manufacturer QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) offers a seemingly bulletproof upside narrative. Since the get-go, range anxiety has impeded widescale adoption of EVs. Should QuantumScape be successful in developing its solid-state battery, it could alleviate concerns due to enhanced range, quicker charging times and safer profile. Thus, QS stock is a buy or
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) proved recently that there indeed may be a ceiling for semiconductor stock prices. This is a warning sign for Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock holders. A sudden drop of $50/share, of which just 20% had been recouped by week’s end, hints at this eternal truth. The AI stock market boom is vulnerable to
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock is still a worthy investment in 2024 despite the company’s rich valuation. While they face competition in e-commerce and artificial intelligence, Amazon’s soaring earnings and long term growth prospects are second to none. Their recent cost-cutting measures have fueled impressive growth in the last year and it’s expected to continue. Analysts are
A spate of bad news (namely, a poorly received quarterly earnings release) knocked Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock lower last month. This month the market reacted positively to two early March announcements. The news is temporarily boosting the stock, maintaining it at $10 to $12 per share. So, this means investors now can slowly buy in
Is Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) in perfect financial condition right now? The answer is: definitely not. On the other hand, Archer Aviation can be forgiven for being a “work in progress.” When you see the progress that this flying-taxi specialist has made, you’ll surely want to hold ACHR stock this year. Just to recap, Archer Aviation manufactures electric vertical takeoff
Why do you want to consider biotech stocks? Simply, the narrative comes down to numbers and a possible rotation. First, the hard data supports bullishness in biotech stocks. According to Grand View Research, the underlying global industry reached a valuation of $1.55 trillion last year. Moving forward, experts project that the sector will expand at
