To say the market for initial public offerings (IPOs) is in a funk would be a major understatement. In 2022, the worldwide IPO market went from record-breaking levels during the Covid-19 pandemic into a full-on depression, according to an analysis by EY. In 2022, there were 1,333 IPOs held, down 45% from 2021. Proceeds from

Some people don’t take meme stocks seriously. However, video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) is worth watching and possibly even investing in. However, even if you respect GameStop as a business, don’t just buy GME stock at any price. GameStop is in the midst of a transformative period. Last year, the company focused on e-commerce sales and

Analysts love SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI). I love it too, and even own some. SoFi can do everything from banking and brokerage to loans and crypto. A new unit of the company can service your mortgage. Software acquisitions means it offers these services retail and wholesale. SoFi can even run other banks’ computing systems. This is

Shares of Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) spiked 25% on Friday morning after the firm filed an SEC form announcing a new battery partnership. The “HUGE” battery advancement news was previously reported in a company press release. Short sellers would immediately sense an opportunity. According to data from Fintel.io, the number of shares available to sell short dropped

Interestingly, Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) is generally favored by Wall Street’s experts even while PLUG stock can’t seem to get off the ground. Are investors missing out on a great opportunity? I’d say so, as Plug Power’s gigantic green hydrogen production facility could prove to be a major revenue generator. To be honest, it requires faith and

Bed, Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) stock spiked 40% on Wednesday morning after Bloomberg Law reported the retailer was laying the groundwork for a bankruptcy filing. The company could enter receivership within several weeks, if not by this weekend. At first glance, the price action seems almost incomprehensible. A bankruptcy should ordinarily wipe out shareholders, and

There’s good news if you’re betting your investment capital on video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME). The company’s financials are improving, and insider buying suggests strong confidence in GME stock. Be prepared for volatility along the way, but a share position in GameStop is likely to yield excellent returns by 2025. The meme-stock traders might target

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has led the electric vehicle pack for over half a decade. This justifies TSLA stock’s huge valuation, over seven times revenue and 51 times earnings as trading opens on April 17. Earnings for the first quarter are due April 18. But even assuming it earns 86 cents/share, that’s down 20% from last year on deliveries

China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) is looking to broaden its scope. However, prospective NIO stock investors should view Nio’s expansion plans with a critical eye. The company’s venture into battery-swapping technology and other fields will require time and capital (both financial and human). In the end, the results might disappoint overeager shareholders. Nio is already

In many ways, C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock has been a tale of two valuations over the last year. Before artificial intelligence became the latest fad due to the public’s fascination with ChatGPT, the valuation of AI stock was quite attractive. For example, on Dec. 1, 2022, the shares were changing hands for roughly 3.9 times analysts’ current average

Shares in chip maker Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) were hammered throughout 2022, with INTC stock staying on a downward trajectory during the first two months of this year. As I have discussed previously, this was due to two factors. First, the company’s poor financial performance. Second, related to some extent to the first factor, was rising concerns about softening semiconductor

Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) has multiple positive catalysts, including the expected rapid growth of the Chinese EV sector and its sedans, which are quickly becoming quite popular in the huge Asian country. Moreover, the valuation of NIO stock is very low, and two reviews of its P7 luxury sedan that I found online are quite

Troika Media Group (NASDAQ:TRKA) has been a popular meme stock so far in 2023. Even after tanking following a short squeeze in early March, TRKA stock remains up by more than 135% year-to-date. What makes shares in this marketing company stand out among meme stocks goes beyond just the fact it has been a strong performer.

Much as I anticipated, QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock has lost charge over the past two months. Surging ahead of earnings, then sinking following the earnings release, QS stock has since drifted back to the high single-digits. While finding support at present price levels, don’t assume that the coast is clear to begin building a position in

After rallying last month, Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, GOOGL) has continued to hold up thus far in April. Other tech stocks have delivered a similar performance, but it may be a few company-related developments that are keeping GOOG stock on an upwards trajectory. In the past week, the tech giant has made two announcements related to how it plans to

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock sold for $2 when CEO Lisa Su joined the company in 2012 were worth $158 at the height of the tech boom in 2021. But business is about what you have done for me lately, and what you’re about to do. The tech wreck in 2022 cut AMD by 60%.

After recently reporting strong clinical data, Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) has tremendous opportunities in front of it. More specifically, the company’s coronavirus booster and its coronavirus-flu combination vaccine can become huge revenue generators. Given these points, I believe that NVAX stock can soar almost 12 times within the next year. The company’s new CEO also makes me very upbeat

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock was one of the laggards in 2022 as broader market trends forced shares into a retreat. The stock experienced a steep decline of 76% in 2022, reaching its highest point during the first week of trading and gradually decreasing during a turbulent year. However, the year thus far has been brilliant for

If there’s an arms race in generative artificial intelligence, Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) definitely isn’t in the lead position. It’s going to be very difficult for Alphabet to catch up to Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) in that area, and value-conscious investors should be cautious about GOOG stock in 2023. Microsoft is integrating generative AI technology quickly and effectively

AI stocks have dominated the financial headlines in 2023. By now, you’re familiar with how artificial intelligence could change every aspect of our lives. You’ve likely seen the oft-cited Grand View Research stat that the global AI market could hit $1.81 trillion by 2030. And you’ve probably heard Bank of America analysts say AI is
