Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) seems like it should be doing better than it is. Sales are growing, it’s developing new, specialized chips for its cars and it has an innovative battery-swap business that it might just spin off into a stand-alone company. In China’s fast-growing EV market, that should spell success —

The trillion-dollar market cap club is currently dominated by the tech sector. But will two traditional retail giants eventually find themselves among this rarefied crowd? Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Costco (NASDAQ:COST) still have a ways to go before they approach a trillion dollars. And they remain dwarfed by e-commerce leader Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which has a $1.6

It’s been an interesting year for enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) company C3.ai (NYSE:AI), to say the least. Even though the market was obsessed with machine learning in 2023, AI stock made big moves in both directions. This is likely to persist in 2024, but if you can handle the ups and downs, then feel free to take

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock has been on a tear thus far in December. After making a relatively big move during November it continues its assent. As a result, this AI chip contender has hit a new 52-week high. To many, it may seem as if shares could keep rallying, with the stock re-hitting its

On Dec. 1, I argued that SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock was a buy. Mainly, because the market’s near-term concerns about SOFI stock had resulted in shares falling to a price that was more-than-reasonable compared to this neobank’s long-term prospects. Soon after laying out the bull case, sentiment for SOFI shifted rapidly. Within weeks, shares surged

The past 12 months were a rocket ride for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock. Shares doubled in value as the Magnificent 7 component helped set the pace for the gains realized by the entire S&P 500 index.  Unfortunately, next year isn’t shaping up to be quite as magnificent. Instead, it’s going to be more like 2022 for

To borrow an old but pertinent Benjamin Graham/Warren Buffett concept, investors should be fearful when others are greedy. That’s a tough principle to apply with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock because it’s a good, solid company. Yet, even this stock can’t just keep going up without a downward retracement, so caution is advised. This will have important implications

It’s clear to anyone who follows the market which stocks outperformed in 2023. Artificial intelligence and weight loss drug companies led the way. But what about the year ahead? Which securities will ascend to new heights in 2024 and pull the market up with them? Analysts and market commentators are busy with their predictions and

There’s no doubt about it. It’s been a great year to invest in Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), the most magnificent of the “Magnificent Seven” companies. However, Nvidia isn’t the only artificial intelligence (AI) processor arms race competitor. Indeed, a comeback contender in the AI chip industry should make eager NVDA stock buyers think twice.           

There are some indications that Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) Cybertruck could become a huge hit that will also cause the demand for the other vehicles to soar for TSLA stock. However, the EV’s specifications are also less impressive than what CEO Elon Musk originally promised, while the Cybertruck is facing serious competition from Rivian’s (NASDAQ:RIVN) R1T and

Buy low, sell high. It’s an investing mantra drummed into our heads from the moment we start buying stocks. But it’s not easy to do. When our stocks start falling, the first inclination for many investors is to sell. We no longer see them as turnaround stock picks. These are the biggest stock losers that

The surge in electric vehicle (EV) stocks, particularly undervalued EV stocks, is as palpable as ever. This booming sector, bolstered by countries offering incentives to boost EV adoption, is not just about environmental stewardship, but represents a nexus of innovation and advanced technology. With automakers committing an impressive $1.2 trillion to EVs and batteries by

Since Halloween, the stock market has been on a torrid rally. While most investors have been focused on AI stocks during this frenetic rally, I’m here to tell you that AI stocks have not been the market’s biggest winners in this recent run-up — that title belongs to digital advertising stocks. To be clear, AI

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG; NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock climbed on the AI hype train Dec. 6 by launching Gemini, a Large Language Model it claims is better than OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Excitement over what AI can do, and what database computing is doing, has started a new computing arms race. Companies are demanding Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) chips and software. They see

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock was one of the best-performing names in the S&P 500, tripling in value and having an outsized impact on the index’s overall performance for the year. NVDA stock is predicted to see strong gains. The median target price on the stock is about $600, or around a 25% improvement over where it currently

Want to get direct exposure to the artificial intelligence (AI) market? One simple way is to invest in enterprise AI software company C3.ai (NYSE:AI). However, there are both green flags and red flags with C3.ai, so consider your time horizon and risk tolerance if you plan to own AI stock. Furthermore, don’t buy C3.ai stock

If you’re seeking exposure to the cybersecurity and artificial intelligence market, you may be tempted to load up on Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) stock. After all, a famous tech-market investor recently bought millions of shares of Palantir. Don’t hit the “buy” button, though, until you’ve considered a potential issue with one of Palantir’s government contracts. Also, remember

It’s fair to say the market is warming up to the potential lithium metal battery startup QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock holds. The stock is up 23% year-to-date and that’s after it lost 60% of its value in late summer. There’s a tectonic shift underway in battery technology as the EV market expands and it seems likely
