Between macro uncertainty and this year’s banking crisis, it’s no surprise that fintech stocks like Block (NYSE:SQ), after performing poorly in 2022, have continued to underperform thus far in 2023. Despite this, some may be confident that a boost for SQ stock is just around the corner. That is, the company, which owns digital financial

Investors who’ve held bank stocks have been on a roller coaster since last month, especially with certain banks such as the Silicon Valley Bank (OTCMKTS:SIVBQ) and Silvergate Capital (NYSE:SI). However, big banks and their stocks haven’t been spared the pain either. Many top-tier banks having nearly a fifth of their market capitalization wiped out within
GameStop (NYSE:GME) decided to give up on the potentially lucrative consumer electronics/technology e-commerce market prematurely, while the sales of its brick-and-mortar stores will probably drop going forward. Moreover, after the interactions that GameStop Chairman Ryan Cohen had with Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) over the last year, I’m not very optimistic about his management skills or
As investors prepare for a sustained bull run in 2022, following a rocky 2022, it’s imperative to keep an eye on the market and reevaluate one’s portfolio. This involves the identification of the worst stocks to buy now and steering clear of those with red flags and warning signs. A lot has changed in the
The fall of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is inevitable. At its April 25 opening price of about $161 per share, Tesla had a market cap of about $515 billion. That’s more than all of China’s electric car industry put together, three times more than the rest of the U.S. auto industry. It’s about 2.5 times the value of Toyota
Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has plenty of skeptics. It’s been difficult to defend RIVN stock as it has lost ground in 2023 so far. Unfortunately, the outlook isn’t bright, as Rivian Automotive’s expenditures are disproportionately high. This isn’t to suggest that Rivian Automotive is doing everything wrong. For example, it’s notable that
In recent weeks, the Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock slide has continued, following a poorly-received monthly deliveries report Bullish bottom-fishers and dip-buyers may still believe this is prime time to accumulate a position. Mostly, because of their view that the China-based electric vehicle (or EV) maker will experience a strong growth resurgence later this year. As you
With the broader equity indices struggling for traction, rising recession fears brings the glaring spotlight back on so-called real estate bubble stocks. Due to the unique circumstance underlying the Covid-19 crisis and subsequent governmental response, housing prices skyrocketed. In turn, several companies plying their trade in the arena benefitted. But as the saying goes, all
Almost all artificial intelligence (AI) stocks have been hot in 2023 as speculation about the technology continues to drive hype around the businesses involved in AI development. New AI technology such as ChatGPT is indeed revolutionary, and people are still wondering what the implications are going forward since it can cut down on a lot
There’s a lot of news to consider when it comes to China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO). Possibly, it’s good news that Nio is preparing to launch new EV models. On the other hand, the automaker doesn’t seem to be willing to lower its vehicle prices. This should concern any prospective NIO stock buyer. Don’t
Earlier this month, I discussed how negative sentiment about Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) shares continues to increase. As the hydrogen fuel cell company continues to execute poorly, sell-side analysts continue to grow bearish on PLUG stock. Investors have kept on abandoning it in droves, resulting in PLUG falling back to sub-$10 per share price levels. Shares
It might be fine for short-term speculators to trade Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) stock. However, it’s too risky to consider holding shares of Bed Bath & Beyond for the long term. The company has too many problems, and has even filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Bed Bath & Beyond never really recovered from the
There’s a lot going on with app-based bank SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock lately. The company acquired Wyndham Capital Mortgage, a digital-focused mortgage lender. This might or might not prove to be a successful strategy. Also, SoFi Technologies is susceptible to changes in public policy regarding student loan repayments. All of this adds up to a less-than-stellar
With the market still absorbing the key takeaways from its latest financial results, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) continues to trend lower. Granted, these more recent moves with TSLA stock have been relatively mild. At least, compared to the stock’s double-digit drop immediately after the electric vehicle maker’s quarterly earnings release on April 19. Still, while perhaps not
The other shoe has officially dropped for Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) stock. As you’ve likely heard, the struggling retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 23. With the market expecting such a development over the past few months, the official news has had less of an impact on the price of BBBY stock
Loyal investors of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) have already been through the wringer. Yet, it’s probably only going to get worse for LCID stock. As we’ll see, May 8 will be an important, and possibly terrible, day for Lucid Group and its stakeholders. Moreover, competition from the likes of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) will only
In certain circumstances, high-yield dividend stocks can be great opportunities. However, often, they are well within the “stocks to avoid” category. Mainly, because of their high risk of being so-called “dividend traps.” A stock that is falling because of either a dividend cut, or the growing likelihood of a dividend cut. This creates a double-whammy
In this environment, buying any EV stock can be difficult. However, with Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) having trouble selling its high-end electric vehicles, and LCID stock continuing to trade at a ridiculously high valuation, all investors should sell the automaker’s shares. Other developments that are likely to make the automaker’s life more difficult are Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) price cuts and ever-increasing competition.
The shares of electric-vehicle maker Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) have tumbled to less than 10 cents. This clearly indicates that institutional investors seem to have lost confidence in Mullen and MULN stock. In another indication of large investors’ lack of confidence in the automaker, several such investors have been given the right to sell large shares in exchange
Although Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is likely to be significantly hurt by the probable collapse of the crypto market, the company’s upcoming positive catalysts should more than outweigh the crypto implosion. Therefore, I expect NVDA stock to outperform the market over the next year. Still, there are reasons to be cautious when it comes to Nvidia. A high exposure
