PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL) may tempt contrarian investors. Right now, PYPL stock trades for only 10.8 times earnings. A very low valuation, when compared to their competitors’ valuations. Square and Cash App parent Block (NYSE:SQ), for example, trades at a relatively lofty 25.2 times forward earnings. Other popular fintech names, like SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI), have yet

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is one of the most divisive stocks in the market today. On one side, legions of retail investors have passionately bought into the stock, fueling wild price swings and helping it become a poster child of the meme stock phenomenon. Conversely, traditional investors focusing on fundamentals have warned that the company’s deteriorating

Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock is just the largest of four Chinese electric vehicle names traded in New York. The others are Xpeng (NASDAQ:XPEV), Nio (NYSE:NIO), and Polestar (NASDAQ:PSNY). The last is based in Sweden but controlled by Geely (OTCMKTS:GELYF), a Chinese company. There are others. BYD (OTCMKTS:BYDDF) is the largest, by far, but they’re not

With a few exceptions, healthcare stocks have had a rough go of it in 2023. The Standards and Practices (S&P) 500 Healthcare Index is down 5% year to date, versus a 13% increase in the benchmark S&P 500 index. Most healthcare stocks are down across the board. Pharma companies, health insurers and medical device manufacturers

Tilray Brands (NASDAQ:TLRY) presents an intriguing opportunity, especially when looking at TLRY stock in the cannabis sector. Tilray has established itself as a pioneer in the global cannabis and consumer goods sector, with a relatively diverse product line. This Canada-based cannabis company has a presence in North America, Europe and Australia, with a focus on

On October 16, Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) celebrated its 100th anniversary. It’s too bad the good news will have little effect on DIS stock. It could use a big boost right now. As for its anniversary, Walt and Roy Disney agreed in October 1923 to create the animated film series “Alice Comedies” under Disney Brothers. Three

Robotic devices enable automation that help people perform tasks more effectively. Businesses and consumers frequently invest in resources that can expand their productivity and capabilities. This makes investing in robotics stocks a lucrative concept. Robots are present in many elements of our lives. Smart speakers can play music, provide weather updates and turn on the

Upstart (NASDAQ:UPST) provides a platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline and (hopefully) improve the lending process. Some folks might want to buy UPST stock because they envision a robust future for this type of technology. However, investing in Upstart is something that should be done in moderation, if at all, in 2023. To put

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has seen its stock price surge more than 20% year-to-date. However, this move follows a significant correction last year tied to the company’s cash burn and dilutive stock offerings, reminiscent of a similar history behind industry juggernauts such as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Rivian currently offers three models, its RS1 and RT1 pickup trucks

The stock market’s volatility this year is nothing new. Over the past three years investors saw the S&P 500 hit new all-time highs, partially thanks to the “Magnificent 7 stocks,” only to tumble sharply afterwards. Heck, since just the beginning of last year the benchmark index has dipped into bear market territory on three separate

Business is great at Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), but NVDA stock is looking just a bit ragged. For the first time in years, a move up didn’t hit the old high. The August peak of $493/share was followed by an October peak of $469. But even that looks far off from the $429/share it was trading at

The hunt for the next trillion-dollar companies invariably ignites investor excitement. Moreover, the AI-led excitement in equities this year pushed tech stocks to new highs while others reversed the losses from the past year.  Notably, some stocks have even doubled since their 2023 lows, demonstrating strong resilience. This trend has investors actively searching, hoping to find

In a previous article, I highlighted how AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock declined a whopping 13% on the same day a key catalyst in the form of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour being brought to the big screen. In many respects, this price action may certainly be considered odd, in light of how staunch retail investor support has

Shares of Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) have lagged the performance of other mega-cap technology concerns year to date. However, with several catalysts forming there is reason to be bullish on the company’s stock. Truly, shareholders got a jolt recently when news broke that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has slapped Microsoft with a bill for $29 billion

Quantum computing may grow as fast, or potentially even surpass the growth rate of generative AI and other revolutionary technologies. Industry insiders predict a future in which quantum computers mimic human brains. They’ll solve complex problems like optimization, cryptography, machine learning and simulation. Thus, there’s a solid thesis as to why investors should identify the

Without a doubt, Instacart (NASDAQ:CART) is facing challenging competition. Unfortunately, it does not have any major advantages over its many rivals in the grocery-delivery sector. Actually, it’s much less well-known than several of its competitors, including Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT), Kroger (NYSE:KR), Uber’s (NYSE:UBER), Uber Eats, and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). Moreover, although CART is a leader of the
