Investors load up on growth stocks in hopes of outperforming popular stock market benchmarks like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100. It’s possible to outshine these indices, but some growth stocks lose their charm. A corporation that previously reported superb financial growth can see its growth rates wither.

The Nasdaq is one of the most closely watched indexes for every investor to follow.

Identifying opportunities and risks within the ever-evolving stock market landscape is crucial for investors aiming to make informed decisions. This research examines three well-known tech stocks and finds strong arguments for selling them before the next market correction. Let’s start with the first one.

Certain stocks look ready for a comeback. Trading at or near a 52-week low and with several catalysts forming around them, the worst looks to be over for certain stocks that trade in the benchmark S&P 500 index. While their internal operations and earnings might be improving, these stocks are also likely to rise if
Palantir Technologies stock (NYSE:PLTR) started out serving the defense and intelligence sectors by providing comprehensive data analytics products. Back then, Peter Thiel was at the helm of the firm. Nowadays, Palantir has broadened its horizons to servicing customers in healthcare, energy, and finance industries with both on-premises and cloud software solutions. At the end of 2023,
There again appears to be a sizable gap between the way small caps are performing versus their larger cap peers. The Russell 2000, an index tracking the performance of small- to mid-cap companies, has not had a good first quarter in 2024. So far, the Russell is trading up 4.81% year-to-date, while the S&P500 and Nasdaq Composite have appreciated
SoundHound AI stock (NASDAQ:SOUN) has a rapidly growing business, promising technology, an impressive list of customers, and an investment from Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). Moreover, SOUN’s partnership with Nvidia could eventually generate a great deal of revenue for the smaller firm, tremendously lifting Soundhound AI stock in the process. On the other hand, however, SoundHound’s valuation remains
As investors, we all aim to outperform the market. But beating the S&P 500 is a difficult task for most of us. Outperforming the Nasdaq Index has proven to be an even greater challenge in recent years. That’s because this tech-heavy index has been on a tear over the past two decades, buoyed by high-growth
Back when interest rates were low and speculative fervor ran high, video-game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) was a darling among meme-stock traders. Those days are gone, however, and the hope of a full recovery for GameStop stock is fading fast. Frankly, it’s “game over” for GameStop’s investors in 2024. GameStop is a relic from the era of physical console
Certain stocks are hidden gems in investing because they can provide considerable returns and expand a portfolio to hit the million-dollar mark. Here, seven companies offer appealing returns based on solid fundamentals. To be specific, the first one has a growing client base. The company’s impressive increase in client accounts indicates a rising user base
The Nasdaq is absolutely on fire. The broad macroeconomic picture has been about as good as it could get for growth stocks. The economy is not too hot and it’s not too cold. Inflation is coming down, and the Federal Reserve may be set for interest rate cuts later this year, even as asset prices
Investors looking at stocks with the highest short interest in April tend to target two possible plays: ride the short-selling wave in hopes the stock is further suppressed or hang onto the hope of a short squeeze sending shares soaring. While short squeezes happen, they’re uncommon and rarely gather the momentum to hit absurd highs
Restaurant stocks have endured some pretty mixed performance through the first quarter 2024. Eating out, even at a local fast-food chain, is getting expensive amid scorching food price inflation and rampant price hikes. With some cheap eats-seeking consumers subtly protesting higher prices by opting to eat at home (grocery prices aren’t cheap these days), it’s
If you’re wondering which communication stocks short sellers are targeting, look no further. The communications sector is a tough place to make money these days. Technological upheaval, shifting consumer tastes, and a difficult financing environment have made the industry volatile and a favorite of short sellers who capitalize when a stock declines. Well-known stocks of
For bold investors, there are few opportunities as exciting as chasing 10x returns in the stock market. Make no mistake about it, the stock market offers up multiple opportunities to turn $1 into $10 quickly. Investors should dedicate a relatively small amount of their portfolio toward chasing such gains. Even then, aggressive stocks to 10X returns
The “meme hangover” continues with AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC). Not only has AMC Entertainment stock coughed back all of its 2021 gains. Shares in the movie theater chain trade at a fraction of their pre-meme prices. While the collapse of the “meme stock” investing trend played an initial role in AMC’s steep price decline, the larger
From the depths of despair, the most epic rallies can emerge. Or at least, that’s the going theory for Plug Power’s (NASDAQ:PLUG) brave, steadfast investors in 2024. There are no guarantees whatsoever, but Plug Power stock could stage a comeback in the coming months, as the company has already been through the wringer and is still standing.
While the hydrocarbon space might seem increasingly irrelevant amid a broader push for green and renewable infrastructure, these ideas for the most undervalued energy stocks to buy in April could change your mind. For one thing, the electric vehicle market is faltering. Basically, we wouldn’t have a sector-wide price war if demand was robust. No,
3D printing stocks haven’t seen the surge in popularity they once did — investors recognized that the sector is capital-intensive and, while the industry matures, low margin. But that’s beginning to change as the top 3D printing stocks pivot away from focusing on hardware and begin focusing on niche, targeted software to maximize existing hardware’s
The big money might be feeling a bit queasy about overexposure to risk-on assets, presenting a framework to follow regarding the best stocks to buy in April. As I’ve mentioned many times before, technology-related securities saw an outflow recently of $4.4 billion. That was the largest ever outflow over a one-week period.
