Cocoa prices have surged to record highs, with bad weather impacting crops. This would imply margin compression for chocolate companies and it’s not surprising that chocolate stocks are relatively depressed. This near-term headwind is a good opportunity to accumulate some undervalued stocks. An important point to note is that the top chocolate stocks also offer
There are some ripe bargains in the stock market this month, which has led to this list of under-$10 stocks to buy. It’s fair to say these companies trade at attractive valuations, and many have low market caps too, increasing their attractiveness. I think now is an ideal time for investors to scoop up shares
Beware of falling for value traps! In today’s challenging market environment, some stocks may look enticingly cheap on the surface. But if you peer a little deeper, you’ll realize many of these companies are just barely staying afloat, waiting out their last days or hoping for a miracle turnaround. While many startups stand little chance
I recently authored a few penny stock articles for InvestorPlace after discovering numerous overlooked investment opportunities. However, my past research was deep value-oriented, leading me to author another piece on growth penny stocks. This article focuses on growth-orientated penny stocks, with a particular emphasis on disruptive companies. I ensured my picks possess portfolio diversification benefits
I often note that the ongoing downturn in the EV market could present a strong buying opportunity for aggressive investors. However, that sentiment doesn’t apply to all EV stocks. Not all EV companies are created equal, and some huge discrepancies make certain EV stocks worth steering clear of. The only position you’d want in these
Dig deep enough and find a story hot enough, and you can uncover potential stock winners up 1,000%. Look at Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), for example. When I first found AMD, it was trading around $10 a share, severely beaten-down and undervalued. Today, thanks to the artificial intelligence boom, it’s one of the most talked about tech
What can you do when a “Magnificent Seven” company briefly falls out of favor? In the case of Google and YouTube parent company, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), the right response may be to buy and/or hold some GOOG stock shares. After all, a misstep doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road for Google and Alphabet. As we’ll
In the stock markets, fortunes rise and fall on the tide of hype and advancements, with the tech sector impacted the most. As the world is in the middle of a decade, the stage is set for the listed tech titans to emerge as veritable champions. They are reshaping entire industries and verticals and leading
When looking for tattered stocks to buy for gains, I often cover under-the-radar stocks. However, sometimes the best deals are hiding in plain sight – you just have to be willing to take a contrarian view when others are fearful. We saw this scenario play out in mid-2022. Many investors clung onto expensive defensive stocks,
Analysts are optimistic about the U.S. economy, expecting a 2% GDP expansion this year due to strong growth in late 2023 and a resilient labor market in January. The positive outlook, driven by robust consumer spending and minimal signs of a private sector slowdown, suggests a delay in Federal Reserve interest rate cuts until later
Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) has become the first electric vehicle (EV) maker in China to turn a profit, sending its stock price higher in recent weeks. This will undoubtedly have LI stock investors feeling bullish. LI stock is up nearly 10% year to date, outpacing nearly every other EV maker in China or the rest of
In the world of China-based EV producers, Nio (NYSE:NIO) remains a top option many growth investors continue to pay close attention to. Unfortunately, NIO stock has continued to trade in a rather bearish fashion, now hovering just above its 52-week lows. Of course, the overall EV sector has been hit by growth concerns, as competitive
Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) has pulled back slightly since January, but at around $45.29 per share today, INTC stock remains at price levels well above its 52-week low ($25.97 per share). It’s not surprising that the chip maker’s shares have held onto the lion’s share of these recent gains. The market remains somewhat bullish about Intel’s AI
Lithium-ion batteries are better than lead-acid batteries because they are more efficient and offer greater capacity. Solid-state batteries go one better, offering even more capacity which allows for longer distances traveled on a single charge. They are also lighter, safer and offer faster charge times. However, making them at scale to power a vehicle is
When it comes to figuring out what are the stocks to sell now, bearish analyst ratings are an important factor to consider. The sell-side typically doesn’t issue many “sell” ratings. In fact, a majority of ratings are “buy” or equivalent, with around 5%-10% being “sell” or equivalent and the rest “hold” or equivalent. As I
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about retail do-it-yourself investors, they love to hear about Wall Street whispers. These are upgrades or new coverage of stocks by analysts with a buy rating. Nothing moves the markets quite like the prognostications of sell-side analysts. The challenge in tracking analysts’ moves is that they are human, which
There are some stocks to buy for a recession that should be on every investors’ radar. It doesn’t matter whether you are bearish or bullish on the economy in general. Owning shares in these stocks can significantly improve the stability and safety of your portfolio, acting as a reliable anchor that can weather the strongest
In late February, Wendy’s management team surprised both customers and investors with a clarification. The fast-food chain announced wrote to CNN that “Wendy’s will not implement surge pricing, which is the practice of raising prices when demand is highest. […] It was never our plan to raise prices when customers are visiting us the most.”
Successful investor Mario Gabelli attained billionaire status primarily by investing his and his client’s money. He became well-known in the 1980s for making successful picks in media and telecom sectors, and was named Morningstar’s “Portfolio Manager of the Year” in 1997 and received the “Money Manager of the Year” award from Institutional Investor in 2011.
In 2024, investors are wondering if artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are the latest bubble that is doomed to burst. But right now, FOMO reigns supreme. And as investors shift money into AI stocks, they’re pulling money out of other sectors such as electric vehicles. Whether you like EV stocks or not, now is not the time
