On Dec. 1, I argued that SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock was a buy. Mainly, because the market’s near-term concerns about SOFI stock had resulted in shares falling to a price that was more-than-reasonable compared to this neobank’s long-term prospects. Soon after laying out the bull case, sentiment for SOFI shifted rapidly. Within weeks, shares surged

The past 12 months were a rocket ride for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock. Shares doubled in value as the Magnificent 7 component helped set the pace for the gains realized by the entire S&P 500 index.  Unfortunately, next year isn’t shaping up to be quite as magnificent. Instead, it’s going to be more like 2022 for

To borrow an old but pertinent Benjamin Graham/Warren Buffett concept, investors should be fearful when others are greedy. That’s a tough principle to apply with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock because it’s a good, solid company. Yet, even this stock can’t just keep going up without a downward retracement, so caution is advised. This will have important implications

There’s no doubt about it. It’s been a great year to invest in Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), the most magnificent of the “Magnificent Seven” companies. However, Nvidia isn’t the only artificial intelligence (AI) processor arms race competitor. Indeed, a comeback contender in the AI chip industry should make eager NVDA stock buyers think twice.           

As 2024 unfolds, the investment world turns its eyes to the next potential trillion-dollar stocks. This prestigious club, currently home to six corporate titans, is a testament to market dominance. Moreover, these businesses are the beacons of economic success. Clearly, they are setting a high bar for entry into this exclusive group. The backdrop for

It’s clear to anyone who follows the market which stocks outperformed in 2023. Artificial intelligence and weight loss drug companies led the way. But what about the year ahead? Which securities will ascend to new heights in 2024 and pull the market up with them? Analysts and market commentators are busy with their predictions and

Yahoo Finance recently named Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) its 2023 Company of the Year. Thanks to its duo of weight-loss drugs, Ozempic and Wegovy, it is now the most valuable company in Europe by market capitalization. Given the demand for these drugs, it could repeat as one of the top stocks for 2024.  As Yahoo Finance

There are some indications that Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) Cybertruck could become a huge hit that will also cause the demand for the other vehicles to soar for TSLA stock. However, the EV’s specifications are also less impressive than what CEO Elon Musk originally promised, while the Cybertruck is facing serious competition from Rivian’s (NASDAQ:RIVN) R1T and

Buy low, sell high. It’s an investing mantra drummed into our heads from the moment we start buying stocks. But it’s not easy to do. When our stocks start falling, the first inclination for many investors is to sell. We no longer see them as turnaround stock picks. These are the biggest stock losers that

The surge in electric vehicle (EV) stocks, particularly undervalued EV stocks, is as palpable as ever. This booming sector, bolstered by countries offering incentives to boost EV adoption, is not just about environmental stewardship, but represents a nexus of innovation and advanced technology. With automakers committing an impressive $1.2 trillion to EVs and batteries by

Since Halloween, the stock market has been on a torrid rally. While most investors have been focused on AI stocks during this frenetic rally, I’m here to tell you that AI stocks have not been the market’s biggest winners in this recent run-up — that title belongs to digital advertising stocks. To be clear, AI

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG; NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock climbed on the AI hype train Dec. 6 by launching Gemini, a Large Language Model it claims is better than OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Excitement over what AI can do, and what database computing is doing, has started a new computing arms race. Companies are demanding Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) chips and software. They see

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock was one of the best-performing names in the S&P 500, tripling in value and having an outsized impact on the index’s overall performance for the year. NVDA stock is predicted to see strong gains. The median target price on the stock is about $600, or around a 25% improvement over where it currently

Want to get direct exposure to the artificial intelligence (AI) market? One simple way is to invest in enterprise AI software company C3.ai (NYSE:AI). However, there are both green flags and red flags with C3.ai, so consider your time horizon and risk tolerance if you plan to own AI stock. Furthermore, don’t buy C3.ai stock

It’s fair to say the market is warming up to the potential lithium metal battery startup QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock holds. The stock is up 23% year-to-date and that’s after it lost 60% of its value in late summer. There’s a tectonic shift underway in battery technology as the EV market expands and it seems likely

If you’re seeking exposure to the cybersecurity and artificial intelligence market, you may be tempted to load up on Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) stock. After all, a famous tech-market investor recently bought millions of shares of Palantir. Don’t hit the “buy” button, though, until you’ve considered a potential issue with one of Palantir’s government contracts. Also, remember

Founded in 2009, C3.ai (NYSE:AI) aims to empower businesses with artificial intelligence. CEO Thomas Siebel, who offers over 40 customizable AI applications across various industries, sees the AI opportunity as transformative as the internet or smartphones. Recent fiscal 2024 Q2 results reveal notable growth in customer engagements and revenue, prompting investor consideration. This has considerable

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) has been among the most clear-cut winners of the surge in AI stocks. Indeed, the run PLTR stock has seen over the past year has put many top AI plays to shame. This is a company that’s still well off its meme-cycle highs. However, strong momentum is backing this company, and retail

In a fiercely competitive electric vehicle manufacturing industry, Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) faces hurdles in selling vehicles and achieving profitability. Consequently, RIVN stock may be exposed in 2024, potentially relinquishing recent gains.  Though Rivian has seen its stock price rally roughly 50% off of this year’s lows, it’s still trading well below its previous meme-cycle peak.

The popularity of value stocks relative to growth has waned in recent years, but many investors still like to focus on value investing, or investing in stocks considered undervalued based on traditional valuation metrics like price-to-earnings (or P/E) and price-to-book. Yet while there are scores of value and deep value opportunities out there, you may
