Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock is right where it was 30 years ago, swimming in the eye of a growth hurricane. Today’s hurricane, of course, is Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), whose blowout earnings February 21 turned the whole market around. The previous hurricane was Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), which doubled multiple times in the 1990s as half of the

Romantic comedies seem to be a dying breed of film. Last year, rom-coms, as the movies are known, grossed a total of $86 million at the global box office. That was down from $310 million in 2018 and $835 million in 1999. Studios appear to making fewer rom-coms these days, opting instead for low-budget horror

Since the late 1970s, when the former options trader and arbitrageur moved into activist investing (then called “corporate raiding”), Carl Icahn has built a multi-billion dollar fortune investing in (and pushing for profitable changes at) undervalued companies. With this track record, it’s no surprise that Wall Street and Main Street investors alike are always curious

Stanley Druckenmiller is a former hedge fund manager and famed investor whose moves are carefully watched on Wall Street. From 1981 to 2010, he ran Duquesne Capital, a hedge fund that had more than $12 billion in assets at the time it was closed. Druckenmiller also managed money for George Soros as the lead portfolio

Earnings season for the fourth and final quarter of 2023 is drawing to a close, with many big names having already reported. Earnings season has been strong so far. In fact Q4 has proven to be the strongest quarter of 2023. With 79% of companies in the S&P 500 index having reported their financial results,

I like tracking Home Depot (NYSE:HD) stock given just how important housing is to the broader economy (and I like that they sell lumber!). That’s why its fourth-quarter earnings report is particularly interesting. Home Depot reported a decline in same-store sales of 3.5% in the fourth quarter of 2023, with a notable 4% decrease observed

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) initially focused on serving the defense and intelligence sectors but has since expanded its customer base to include various industries such as healthcare, energy, and finance. The company has made impressive strides to improve profitability, and the new AI platform rolled out last year is accelerating top-line growth. As a result, there are

The latest news to hit Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is that Ford (NYSE:F) is cutting prices on its 2023 Mustang Mach E crossover by anywhere from $3,100 to $8,100, depending on the version. With all the price cuts on EVs, it’s a great time to buy one, but the TSLA stock analysis suggests it’s not so

The stock market rally that has been ongoing for nearly a year suddenly looks fragile. Hotter-than-expected inflation reports and strong economic data have pushed out expectations for the timing of interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Futures traders now expect the first rate cut in June rather than March, and many see only

Warren Buffett stocks always spark immense curiosity in the investing world. The Oracle of Omaha’s investment moves are closely watched, with his quarterly filings offering valuable insights. In the latest update, Berkshire Hathaway’s (NYSE:BRK.A,NYSE:BRK.B) 13F filing reveals a quiet fourth quarter marked by more selling than buying. Berkshire Hathaway, known for its wide-moat investment approach, reported

Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) specializes in software for cloud-based data warehousing. Sure, there’s an artificial intelligence connection with Snowflake, but it’s not really an AI company like OpenAI and C3.ai (NYSE:AI) are. My SNOW stock analysis indicates that the shares may be overvalued because of AI-market hype. There’s a critical event coming up for Snowflake which investors need

Retail stocks are poised for transformation as artificial intelligence (AI) redefines shopping. AI is at the forefront of innovation in the retail sphere, elevating the consumer experience by personalizing marketing. For investors, this spells opportunity. Integrating AI in retail, from optimizing prices to automating inventory management, is a seismic shift that will likely reshape the

Michael Burry is an investing legend and one of Wall Street’s biggest bears. The investor is best known for betting against the U.S. housing market during the subprime mortgage meltdown that led to the 2008/09 financial crisis, an event chronicled in the book and film “The Big Short.” However, while Burry continues to issue warning

The electric vehicle (EV) startup space is fraught with risk and uncertainty. The vast majority of U.S. EV startups are burning through cash at an alarming rate while struggling to deliver vehicles to market. Going up against established automakers with decades of manufacturing expertise and vast financial resources is a monumental challenge. However, a few

Though it may not seem so, this year’s stock market trends have yet to materialize fully. Artificial intelligence drove 2023’s stock market trends; in years past, electric vehicles, meme stocks, and even blockchain tech drove market movements. And, of course, macroeconomic cycles and monetary policy shoulder their share of the burden when it comes to

Al Jazeera has called 2023 “the year of the layoffs.” As the news organization pointed out recently, it started badly in 2023, when Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) cut 10% of its global staff. CEO Marc Benioff might be a big believer in stakeholder capitalism, but 2023 proved that even he wouldn’t stand for an excessive work force. 

Battery stocks play a critical role in the burgeoning EV revolution. Moreover, McKinsey’s’ forecast shows the battery market is expected to grow to a whopping $400 billion by 2030. This represents a hefty 30% bump from 2022, outpacing estimates and electrifying investor prospects. Amid a robust U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve’s current hold on rate

Not every touchdown during Super Bowl 58 happened on the field. Advertising slots are very competitive during the big game and cost companies millions of dollars to run. These corporations only have 30 seconds to make a lasting impression on viewers as they wait for the game to resume. Commercials can bring awareness to new

The Chinese government’s intention to crack down on mindless EV expansion by the country’s major manufacturers has a positive and negative effect on the Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock outlook.  Fortune reported in January that Bejing would come down hard on manufacturers undertaking projects to build additional capacity in the country when demand for EVs is simply

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) surprised the stock market recently by announcing it would pay its first-ever quarterly dividend. The owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp said the payout will be 50 cents per share, or $2 per share on an annual basis. That works out to a yield of about 0.4% at current prices. It’s not
