The Magnificent 7 stocks – Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) – have been the darlings of Wall Street for the past few years. And for good reason – they have dominated their markets and delivered outstanding returns for investors. However, their meteoric rise
In the stock market, a seismic shift is underway—a combination of three stocks may challenge the status quo of the current Magnificent 7. While tech giants have long dominated the market spotlight, the emergence of three solid contenders signals a new era of return-generating opportunity. With shaking milestones, innovative product suites, and strategic acquisitions, these
After witnessing some of the hottest software stocks skyrocket to dizzying valuations over the past few years, many investors wonder if opportunities remain in this high-flying sector. With sales multiples stretching well into the double digits for companies like Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) and Datadog (NASDAQ:DDOG), I believe the easy money has already been made. Many of
Now that the FED is looking to lower interest rates this year, cheaper money and more accessible financing will let investors venture into riskier places in the economy and the stock market. While not that risky of an industry, the biotech space can often be speculative. This is because biotech stocks tend to move according
Cloud AI combines the power of artificial intelligence with the power of cloud computing. That combination offers significant benefits to businesses of all sizes. Those competitive advantages make cloud AI stocks potentially much more valuable. Better, research firms believe that compound annual growth rates over the next 5 years will approach 40% for cloud AI.
With soft demand for electric vehicles, EV charging stocks lost ground. However, don’t write them off just yet. Instead, buy the excessive fear. For one, according to a new study from GBK Collective, half of U.S. households are considering an electric vehicle, or hybrid EV as their next vehicle. “Contrary to the stagnant EV market depicted
The investing landscape can be daunting, and this is where steady growth stocks come in. Investors often find themselves chasing up-and-coming stocks, instead of investing in high quality growth companies. They will often ask “what is the next Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) or Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)?” While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it can lead to both

Some analysts expect that the rally for tech stocks in general will continue, as the decline was primarily chalked up to a decline in the stock prices of companies
Speculative investors are willing to invest in stocks that many investors would steer clear from. That’s been the case with EV charging stocks. The sector has been beaten down alongside electric vehicle stocks. The electric vehicle (EV) transition is underway. But it’s taking longer than some consumers want and many investors expected. However, at least
Hydrogen stocks could get explosive. In fact, with the market valued at $158.8 billion in 2023, it could be worth nearly $260 billion by 2028, according to Markets and Markets. Even Goldman Sachs says at least $5 trillion of investment is still needed in the hydrogen supply chain if we want to hit net zero. “Clean hydrogen is
The lithium sector has lost its charge over the past year. Investors had gravitated to lithium stocks as seemingly inevitable winners in the EV revolution. But as EVs had an off year, demand for lithium plunged. This led to a regrettable turn of events for the lithium sector; the Global X Lithium & Battery Tech
Small-cap value stocks stand out as one of the top ways to anchor a long-term portfolio. We all know that small-caps outperform their large-cap cousins over a sufficiently long horizon. The reasoning is obvious – small-caps have more room to grow than bigger stocks, and given enough time, their growth compounds more than mega-caps. But
Tech stocks have helped some investors become millionaires over the years. However, very few of these stocks generated those returns quickly. Investors can realize the most gains by holding onto reliable companies for several years. Patience rewards savvy investors and it can reward you too. These stocks have already exhibited great runs but still have
Blue-chip stocks are probably the most attractive wagers in this mixed earnings season. The recent earnings announcements from the Magnificent Seven present a varied picture, sparking debates over market overreactions, overblown valuations and long-term outlook. Nevertheless, these stalwarts, buoyed by their investments in the burgeoning AI technology, are unlikely to be weighed down for long.
I suppose that if you have enough time, any solid candidate for space stocks has the opportunity to turn $10,000 into $1 million. Still, if you want that million as quickly as possible, you’re going to have to accept huge risks. I don’t make the rules – that’s just the way that it is. Understanding
Over the last 12 months, the S&P 500 index has trended higher by almost 22%. During this period, there has been significant price action among growth stocks after a big sell-off witnessed in 2022. However, not all growth stocks have surged higher. There seems to be ample opportunities in terms of undervalued growth stocks with
The New York Times published an article in early February about mental health and the failure of New York City to carefully audit its program to treat mentally ill people living on the streets. When I read articles like this, it makes me think about possible related investments. Specifically, in this case, mental health stocks.
Facing some doubts in February, investors should turn to utility stocks. Why? It’s very simple. With this sector, you’re dealing with permanent relevance. In the connected world we live in, going off grid won’t get you very far. Everything we do depends on power and other critical resources. Further, the top utility stocks are effectively
In stock investing, some gems shine brighter than others, yet often they remain hidden. These overlooked growth stocks are obscured from the limelight of Wall Street’s attention. While the market buzzes with discussions about popular stocks, there are quieter contenders with immense growth potential. Fundamentally, they are waiting to be unearthed by savvy investors. The
