Stock Market

Social media is a fast growing market that Goldman Sachs expects to double to $480 billion by 2027. To take advantage of this trend, many invest in the obvious social media stocks like Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) or Meta (NASDAQ:META). However, these companies are trading at all-time highs and there is no way to know if

If you’re reluctant to invest in PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL), that’s understandable. It’s difficult for PayPal to protect its market share in the crowded and highly competitive fintech space. However, a moderately sized portfolio position in PayPal stock could still offer excellent returns over the long term. My previous analysis of PayPal suggested the share price will easily reach $90.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has become the face of artificial intelligence and its stock has responded in kind. Shares are up 200% over the past year and over 800% since the release of ChatGPT, which sparked an AI tsunami. Yet there is a world of stocks that are outperforming Nvidia. While the technology sector provides opportunity with

Known for her appetite for relatively risky tech-based stocks, Cathie Wood has become an icon on Wall Street. The founder of ARK Investment Management, Wood has accumulated a net worth of $220 million and built a reputation owing to her knack for identifying high-potential innovation-focused stocks.  Wood was recognized as Wall Street’s best stock picker

Prospects for interest rate cuts are fueling speculations about which small-cap stocks will be winners when they hit. Because smaller companies don’t have the same financial access as larger stocks, they are forced to borrow money at higher cost, which impacts their ability to grow. More often than not, they will hunker down instead of

CNBC’s Jim Cramer was asked about SoFi Technologies (NYSE:SOFI) in a mid-June episode of Mad Money. The veteran investor said he’d have to wait on SOFI stock.  “Right now, that last quarter was not great. I just didn’t like it. And I’m going to have to wait,” Benzinga reported Cramer’s comments on June 17.  I

Following last night’s presidential debate, President Joe Biden has just a 19% chance of reelection. Betting odds show that former President Donald Trump has pulled far ahead. Here’s where things get interesting. It appears that no sector has been more sensitive to which party has presidential power than technology. If, over the next few months,

You probably won’t be too impressed with Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (NASDAQ:FFIE) if you’re looking to invest in an electric vehicle manufacturer with rock-solid financials. Faraday Future stock is worth watching, so we’re assigning it a “B” grade as it may be appropriate for a small, speculative portfolio position. After all, you can literally buy a

If you think you’ve already discovered every artificial intelligence stock, think again. Many investors haven’t even heard of Nauticus Robotics (NASDAQ:KITT), but they’re missing out on an interesting opportunity. After conducting your full due diligence, you just might decide to add a few Nauticus Robotics stock shares to your portfolio. As you can probably surmise,

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) plans to incorporate many artificial intelligence features into some of its products this fall. Specifically, the tech giant will provide AI-powered “writing assistance, image creation and editing” assistance, along with increased capabilities for Siri.  The updates will be limited to the “iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, as well as iPads and Macs with M1

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) is trading above $185 per share and breaking all-time highs. On one hand, the solid business fundamentals justify the rapid rise Alphabet stock has enjoyed. However, I’m also avoiding Alphabet stock because it’s unclear how it will do in the artificial intelligence race and the soon-to-be decisions from Federal Trade Commission trials,

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is trading near all-time highs because of the company’s financial blowout year. It breached the $190 barrier after being unable to do so at its peak in 2021 and multiple times this year. With Amazon stock above this resistance, the momentum can keep the stock soaring. However, many are skeptical about Amazon’s valuation.

Data analytics firm Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) is on a long slide lower. Although it impressively beat analyst expectations by a wide margin, guidance indicated a coming slowdown and profits are still nowhere in sight. As a result, the market is selling off Snowflake stock. Shares are down 35% year-to-date but 46% below its February high. A

With the progression of modern medicine, and the continuous discoveries in the realm of gene editing, investing early in the technology could be a game changer for long-term returns if selecting the best gene editing stocks to buy. That’s because unlike more standard therapeutics such as antibiotics, antivirals and vaccines gene editing is a permanent

It’s certainly a notable that the CEO of Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG;NASDAQ:GOOGL) lightened his share position. Yet, this shouldn’t be a deal breaker for Alphabet’s investors, and we’re assigning Google stock a fairly confident “B” grade today. Alphabet is not a perfect company. Indeed, Google’s missteps in generative artificial intelligence have been cringe-inducing,

Sometimes, the best policy is for a company to stick to its core, bread-and-butter market. Ford Motor (NYSE:F) tried to expand into a difficult automotive market outside of the U.S., but without much success. Ford stock investors should insist that the automaker focus on doing what it does best, where it does it best. This

The financial technology (FinTech) industry is forecasted to grow at an annualized rate of 16.5% until 2032, illustrating its potential. However, information about the bulk of financial technology stocks is widely dispensed. As such, most FinTech stocks are either priced in or overvalued. Considering the above, I decided to embark on a journey to find

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) has rapidly enhanced its offerings with artificial intelligence. Since AI stocks are red-hot on Wall Street, perhaps traders pushed Palantir stock up a little too far and too fast. Still, we’re assigning the stock a “B” grade as Palantir is a financially solid and innovative AI-tech developer. You just never know where and how

Trends come and go, but one in fashion again is stock splits. Two years ago, there was a frenzy of splits in the tech space. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and even Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) all split their stock. But then the phenomenon died down last year. Now, it seems to be rebounding —

Dear investors, utilities stocks are gearing up for a rebound. You better be paying attention. For the last three weeks, the utilities sector has cratered relative to the S&P 500. On one hand, you might think that’s to be expected. Utility stocks are often seen as defensive, boring plays, and many investors are not passionately
