There are lots of overextended stocks out there falling short thanks to dividend payments that are too good to be true. The internationally known pharmaceutical company Bayer (OTCMKTS:BAYRY) is a great example of this as the company recently announced a 95% dividend cut on Feb. 20. It plans to pay the legal minimum of 0.11

New investors looking to break into the market have more options to choose from than ever before. However, due to current socioeconomic factors, like continued inflation, stocks fluctuate more than ever now, too. For the savvy investor, there are some buy-and-hold stocks you should add to your portfolio. Having said that, these three companies have proven

BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) stocks stand as a towering testament to market influence and financial prowess. Leading the financial stage as the largest asset manager on a global scale, BlackRock boasts a whopping $10 trillion in assets under management at the end of the fourth quarter (Q4) last year. The financial behemoth serves various clients, from institutional

Most small-cap stocks are still in a bear market. When a rising tide does not lift all boats, everybody drowns. We have never seen anything like this “new bull market” before in history, where the top names in the S&P 500 are so disproportionately driving total returns, while most stocks are nowhere near their 2021

Some people like to copy the portfolio of legendary investor and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A) (NYSE:BRK-B). However, I encourage everyone to think for themselves. Buffett’s portfolio may include shares of Mastercard (NYSE:MA). Nevertheless, a thorough MA stock analysis will reveal that the shares aren’t necessarily a great value right now. And by the way, Mastercard isn’t ideal

Investors have been waiting for renewable energy stocks to live up to their potential. After being beaten down in 2023, many investors are hopeful that 2024 will be a better year. No matter where you stand on the viability of renewable energy sources, they will be part of the mix going forward. And with the

Unless a significant portion of today’s factories and industrialist giants are still operating under technology from the Industrial Revolution, today’s global manufacturing and industrial value chain relies on technology to operate and meet the demands of their businesses and customers. That simple fact of reality is inviting you into a massive opportunity ahead. Of course,

You don’t need a deep Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock analysis to tell you it’s the worst-performing stock of the Magnificent Seven in 2024 so far. The EV maker has different issues than those confronting rival Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN), which just reported terrible earnings that sent its stock careening lower. But the general EV market malaise is heavy

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock is right where it was 30 years ago, swimming in the eye of a growth hurricane. Today’s hurricane, of course, is Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), whose blowout earnings February 21 turned the whole market around. The previous hurricane was Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), which doubled multiple times in the 1990s as half of the

Romantic comedies seem to be a dying breed of film. Last year, rom-coms, as the movies are known, grossed a total of $86 million at the global box office. That was down from $310 million in 2018 and $835 million in 1999. Studios appear to making fewer rom-coms these days, opting instead for low-budget horror

Since the late 1970s, when the former options trader and arbitrageur moved into activist investing (then called “corporate raiding”), Carl Icahn has built a multi-billion dollar fortune investing in (and pushing for profitable changes at) undervalued companies. With this track record, it’s no surprise that Wall Street and Main Street investors alike are always curious

Stanley Druckenmiller is a former hedge fund manager and famed investor whose moves are carefully watched on Wall Street. From 1981 to 2010, he ran Duquesne Capital, a hedge fund that had more than $12 billion in assets at the time it was closed. Druckenmiller also managed money for George Soros as the lead portfolio

Earnings season for the fourth and final quarter of 2023 is drawing to a close, with many big names having already reported. Earnings season has been strong so far. In fact Q4 has proven to be the strongest quarter of 2023. With 79% of companies in the S&P 500 index having reported their financial results,

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) initially focused on serving the defense and intelligence sectors but has since expanded its customer base to include various industries such as healthcare, energy, and finance. The company has made impressive strides to improve profitability, and the new AI platform rolled out last year is accelerating top-line growth. As a result, there are

The latest news to hit Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is that Ford (NYSE:F) is cutting prices on its 2023 Mustang Mach E crossover by anywhere from $3,100 to $8,100, depending on the version. With all the price cuts on EVs, it’s a great time to buy one, but the TSLA stock analysis suggests it’s not so

The stock market rally that has been ongoing for nearly a year suddenly looks fragile. Hotter-than-expected inflation reports and strong economic data have pushed out expectations for the timing of interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Futures traders now expect the first rate cut in June rather than March, and many see only

Warren Buffett stocks always spark immense curiosity in the investing world. The Oracle of Omaha’s investment moves are closely watched, with his quarterly filings offering valuable insights. In the latest update, Berkshire Hathaway’s (NYSE:BRK.A,NYSE:BRK.B) 13F filing reveals a quiet fourth quarter marked by more selling than buying. Berkshire Hathaway, known for its wide-moat investment approach, reported

Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) specializes in software for cloud-based data warehousing. Sure, there’s an artificial intelligence connection with Snowflake, but it’s not really an AI company like OpenAI and C3.ai (NYSE:AI) are. My SNOW stock analysis indicates that the shares may be overvalued because of AI-market hype. There’s a critical event coming up for Snowflake which investors need

Retail stocks are poised for transformation as artificial intelligence (AI) redefines shopping. AI is at the forefront of innovation in the retail sphere, elevating the consumer experience by personalizing marketing. For investors, this spells opportunity. Integrating AI in retail, from optimizing prices to automating inventory management, is a seismic shift that will likely reshape the
