Stock Market

C3.ai (NYSE:AI), a pure-play enterprise AI software provider, has been one of the high flyers of the market in 2023. Since the start of the year, AI stock has gone from strength to strength. As of the time of writing, shares are up more than 90% since the start of the year. However, recent developments,

The 2022 tech wreck wiped out 40% of Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) equity value. However, 2023 has brought GOOG stock within 3% of where it was two years ago. The company behind Google is now worth $1.33 trillion, making it the third most-valuable of the “Cloud Czars” behind Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) at $2.6 trillion and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) at $2.1 trillion. But neither of the

Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Polestar Automotive (NASDAQ:PSNY) is known for catering to luxury car buyers. There are benefits and drawbacks to this approach. PSNY stock will probably move higher over the next couple of years but don’t expect quick gains if you’re planning to invest in Polestar. As we’ll see, Polestar has ambitions to make a

You know how the saying goes. The best time to plant a tree, or build generational wealth, was 30 years ago. The second-best time is right now. For those looking to pass something down to their grandkids, there’s always the question of what the best sort of investment is. Sure, bonds now carry yields we

In recent weeks, Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has started to make a steady move to higher prices. After hitting a new all-time low during mid-March, during the last few trading days of the month, investors warmed back up to Rivian stock. This was due to speculation that the electric vehicle (or EV maker) would beat estimates

After pulling back during February and early March, Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) shares have been on the rise over the past few weeks. With its move back to around $9.50 per share, CVNA stock is again one of this year’s top performers. This year, the stock has more than doubled. That’s some strong performance. That said, I think speculators are

Shares in GameStop (NYSE:GME) zoomed higher during March, and interestingly enough, for reasons more substantive than usual. That this, last month’s GME stock spike was based on more than merely “hope and hype” from the meme stock community. Instead, the video game retailer’s quarterly results were behind the rally. Coming in well ahead of expectations with earnings,

Some financial traders may have great expectations for China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) in 2023. Yet, it’s wise to be cautious with NIO stock. The automaker may be overly optimistic, and building a network of battery swapping stations might or might not be a successful venture for Nio. Last year, Nio had to deal with

General Motors (NYSE:GM) is firing on all cylinders. Plus, the American auto sector is again accelerating. Moreover, GM’s longer-term prognosis is quite good, as the automaker’s electric-vehicle business looks poised to thrive. Better, GM appears well-positioned to launch a lucrative robotaxi business.  Given these points, I’m very bullish on GM stock, and I recommend that

Could cannabis and related products producer Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC) actually get booted from the Nasadq exchange? This probably won’t happen next week or next month, but the five-year outlook isn’t great. As Canopy Growth engages in what some critics might call acts of desperation, CGC stock investors have a tough decision to make. It’s stunning to consider

During March, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock moved higher. That’s not surprising. Other tech stocks, including this tech giant’s main peers, performed well during the month. In fact, some of them performed even more strongly, making the gains with AMZN stock over the past few weeks (around 10.5%) seem modest by comparison. There are manifold reasons for

The speculative fervor around Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has something in common with a short squeeze. At some point, it ends in tears for someone. There’s also no doubt that NVDA stock is a bubble stock. We’re talking about 118 times earnings and 25 times sales. This is happening just two years after the last tech

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) faced an unusual setback when the stock dropped by over $100 billion following a mishap with its generative AI earlier in the year. Specifically, its Bard chatbot ad provided inaccurate information. Furthermore, analysts criticized the company’s AI search event for lacking details on responding to Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) ChatGPT challenge in Feb. Alphabet is in a favorable

Will app-based bank SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) go down the tubes during the financial sector meltdown of 2023? Or, will SOFI stock stage a jaw-dropping recovery amid the chaos? Investing in SoFi Technologies certainly isn’t risk-free, but the potential payoff could be astounding. It may be tempting to lump SoFi Technologies in with some failing regional banks.

In recent weeks, investors have started to become charged up again about China-based electric vehicle company Nio (NYSE:NIO). Sentiment for NIO stock has shifted back to positive, resulting in a rapid move for shares back to double-digit prices. Several recent developments have played a role in getting the stock back on an upward trajectory, but

Machine learning software specialist C3.ai (NYSE:AI), has received a lot of press coverage this year, but is AI stock worth your attention now? Some analysts are skeptical. Yet, the bullish argument might prevail in 2023 and beyond as C3.ai is a strong contender in the high-conviction artificial intelligence market. Without warning, machine learning became a top-trending

If you’ve been looking for IPOs to watch out for in 2023, you’ve likely come up empty-handed. According to Renaissance Capital, just 29 companies have gone public in the United States so far this year, raising $2.3 billion in proceeds. That’s 61% and 10.5% higher than in 2022, respectively. But it still pales in comparison

Analysts have a lot to say about electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN). Some of what they’re saying is positive, but there are some cautionary notes as well. By and large, however, the experts on Wall Street generally expect RIVN stock to move higher. So, consider taking a share position in Rivian for the

As you likely know, First Republic (NYSE:FRC) has been making headlines lately, and not in a good way. Over the past month, FRC stock has fallen by more than 88%. The fears driving these declines have been well-founded. Following the collapse of SVB Financial’s (OTCMKTS:SIVB) Silicon Valley Bank (or SVB) subsidiary, the San Francisco-based bank,

Many Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock investors are underwater now, but they shouldn’t lose hope. A share-price recovery is likely, as the market has already punished Lucid for its lackluster 2022 performance. Besides, Lucid Group’s market presence is expanding abroad, and the automaker could establish a strong foothold in Saudi Arabia. The bears and short-sellers will undoubtedly
