As discussed in my last article on QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock, electric vehicle stocks began to rally at the start of July, on the heels of Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) latest delivery numbers. The TSLA rally has stalled, but interestingly enough, more speculative EV plays keep climbing. QS stock is no exception. Other early-stage EV names, like Lucid

Why would the experts on Wall Street be so bullish on Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock now? Probably, a major consideration is the company’s ambitious development of hardware to support artificial intelligence applications. But before you take a share position in AMD, consider whether you’re getting in at the best possible time. After all, the

It’s certainly not difficult to find folks who are super-bullish on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) as a purveyor of hardware for artificial intelligence (AI) applications. However, at least one well-known investor is signaling caution on NVDA stock, which appears to be over-hyped and overpriced. As we’ll see, the investor I’m referring to is concerned about Nvidia and about

After a swift rally in SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock, a pullback ensued but caution is still advised. Recent developments pertaining to student loan repayments, and the benefits that SoFi Technologies will gain, were already anticipated and factored into the SoFi Technologies share price. So, don’t be surprised if the shares decline to $6 in the coming

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock is up 144% so far in 2023, and likely to head higher. The gains in META stock are mostly based on speculation. Revenue for the first quarter was up only 3% from a year ago. Net income was down 24%. Analysts expect earnings to be down 15% for the year. The

If June is any indication, the appetite for initial public offerings (IPOs) appears to be heating up. Cava (NYSE:CAVA) went public on June 15, selling 14.4 million shares and raising nearly $318 million in the process; it had the best IPO opening since July 2022, suggesting the current environment for companies to go public could

It’s tempting to just succumb to the overwhelmingly positive sentiment surrounding Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock and just give it an “A” rating. Yet, we’re assigning the stock a “B” grade for now, because of potential issues concerning Apple’s smartphone sales. Of course, we’re not detracting from Apple’s achievements. The company is among a handful of big-tech names leading

There’s no denying that Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) caught the attention of financial traders in May and June. That’s probably because of the company’s connection to artificial intelligence, a red-hot topic in 2023. This helps to explain why some analysts might be optimistic about PLTR stock. On the other hand, Palantir Technologies’ rich valuation indicates that this might

With economic numbers reaching higher numbers than expected, there is a high chance of several companies seeing much better days ahead. Inflation is slowly coming in control and the Fed has paused the rate hike. The fears of a near-term recession is slowly coming to an end. This means the stock market could pick pace

Some folks might say it was a brilliant move for global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) to create and issue shares of AMC Preferred Equity Units (NYSE:APE) stock. However, others aren’t very pleased with AMC Entertainment’s large-scale printing of APE stock. There’s a great deal of controversy surrounding AMC Entertainment in 2023, so it’s a good idea

Many investors keep talking about a recession and yet, there’s still no recession. Regardless, it’s got some investors looking for recession-proof stocks, while others are looking to buy stocks for an economic boom. Picking stocks for 2023 has not been an easy ride. Not many investors expected the Nasdaq to explode more than 30% in

Quantum computing is one of the hottest fields of technology right now. These supercomputers have the potential to revolutionize life as we know it, making cutting edge advances in areas ranging from medicine to space exploration.

Are you looking for a reasonable amount of income without a ton of risk? If so, high-yield ETFs to buy are a better way to go than individual dividend-paying stocks because they give you diversification, which significantly reduces company risk in the process.   If one investor considers a stock to have a high yield, another

Opinions are definitely mixed on Wall Street when it comes to enterprise artificial intelligence company C3.ai (NYSE:AI). Sure, AI stock will give you direct exposure to the fast-growing machine-learning industry. On the other hand, there are issues with C3.ai that eager traders should consider before over-investing in the company. Earlier this summer, traders were furiously bidding up

Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock is the big Chinese EV success story of 2023. Shares are up over 65%, while those of rival Chinese companies have barely budged. The company is rightly being called the Chinese Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). If this were an American company, its stock would be a bargain.  But there’s a worm in the apple,

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock flourished in the 1990s, when the internet gained acceptance in homes and businesses. In 2023, the toast of the town isn’t the internet, but artificial intelligence and especially generative AI. MSFT stock is flying high because Microsoft is constantly talking about AI, but this isn’t the best time to take a share position.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is now worth over $1 trillion. But in recent days NVDA stock has been backing up. Since hitting a peak on June 20, it is down almost 5%.

Among the most-followed names in the electric vehicle space, admittedly Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) is in a much better place compared to most of its early-stage EV maker peers. This has likely played a role in mitigating price declines for RIVN stock. Although shares have declined in price by around 51% over the past twelve months,

Despite facing challenges over the past six months, Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) is experiencing a potential turnaround. The electric vehicle producer is on the brink of a significant acquisition, which has positively impacted RIVN stock. Although the financial specifics of the deal are undisclosed, this development arrives at an opportune moment. Despite recent setbacks, Rivian’s performance

Meme-stock traders used to obsess over video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME). Those days are in the rearview mirror now, though, and serious investors should pay attention to GameStop’s problems. Furthermore, just because a well-known insider took a large stake in GME stock, this doesn’t mean you have to follow his lead. As you may have heard,
