Everybody likes Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock now – well, maybe not literally everybody. Nvidia’s position as a premier manufacturer of chips for artificial intelligence applications is notable. However, if the market is truly efficient, then the Nvidia share price should already reflect the company’s niche-market dominance. Besides, just consider the terrible resolution of the tech-stock bubble of the
The recent rally in the stock market has pleased investors with outstanding returns. With the earnings season going on in full swing, investors have high expectations from companies, especially the top tech companies.

Retail investors have jumped strategically on various cinema stocks over the past two years. The trend has capitalized on the surge seen in pandemic rebound plays, as well as the meme stock mania.

On May 2, the Writers Guild of America went on strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) due to labor disputes primarily regarding streaming service residuals and uses of artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, to replace writers.

Healthcare stocks can include a wide range of industries and companies. While there’s real money to be made here, the sector is also full of quicksand just waiting to pull you and your wallet into the ground.

For brief periods of time, stock traders will get excited about electric vehicle battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). Don’t get caught in a trap, though. As QuantumScape’s battery-market rivals relentlessly move forward, QS stock remains vulnerable to a pullback even if it catches a bid from time to time. Here’s an example. Previously, QuantumScape stock rallied
In my last article on QuantumScape (NYSE:QS), I discussed the recent rally with QS stock, and whether this rally was due to the possible unveiling of game-changing news in the EV technology company’s then-upcoming earnings release. Flash forward to now. QuantumScape’s latest results/updates have just hit the street. As of this writing, the earnings release
Lone gone are the high times when EV stocks flew to the moon irrespective of the companies’ fundamentals. In 2023, the market’s landscape is quite different and Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock can’t thrive on hype alone anymore. Unfortunately, as the data will show, Lucid Group just hasn’t lived up to its potential lately. Lucid Group has
Google the words “telecom layoffs,” and you get plenty of stories about industry job losses in the U.S. and Canada. That makes it very tough to decide the top telecom stock to buy and the top telecom stocks to sell. The iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF (BATS:IYZ) tracks the performance of the Russell 1000 Telecommunications RIC
If you spend enough time in the stock market, you’ll inevitably run into consumer stocks. I like consumer stocks because they can be good buys during a robust economy. It’s also possible to find some undervalued consumer stocks when the market takes a turn lower because some consumer segments are less resistant to recessions –
Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock faces significant challenges as its CEO plans to take on Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), raising concerns for investors. Despite a recent partnership announcement with another automaker, Lucid Group’s stock remains risky and not a high-confidence pick. The company’s public offering and move into China’s EV market raise concerns for long-term investors. That said,
There’s always something going on with Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock it seems. The China-based electric vehicle manufacturer likes to test the waters with new and unusual revenue-generating ideas. Yet, more isn’t necessarily better for unproven business ventures. Ultimately, NIO stock only earns a “D” grade as Nio refuses to stay in its lane and stick to its
It’s no secret that a few names have reached excessive valuations during the recent growth stocks rally. And so, they are overdue for a correction. Even if you think that AI will generate hundreds of billions in revenue within this decade, these stocks of AI-related businesses are trading far too ahead of the curve. Therefore,
The market for artificial intelligence chips is heating, and there are clear winners in 2023 so far. Unfortunately, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock isn’t one of those winners. Moreover, don’t assume that Intel’s capital position will improve quickly this year or even next year. The bull case just isn’t strong enough to recommend INTC stock right now. Sure,
With the AI boom, investors are searching for the next Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). While there are some that could rival the tech giant, many chip stocks are unfortunately falling into the category of top chip stocks to sell. There’s a reason why this secular growth trend has boosted NVDA more than threefold since the start of
The market outlook seems positive with the S&P 500 index closing in on a 20% rise year-to-date (YTD). While I expect the momentum to remain positive, I would be cautious with stocks that have witnessed a significant rally. Particularly, when those tempting stocks which saw rallies have become overvalued stocks to sell. The fear of
Traders have made artificial intelligence (AI) 2023’s hottest investing theme and with good reason. It’s truly remarkable how quickly generative AI solutions have developed in chatbot and image generation fields. However, this technology has created a lot of overvalued AI stocks. Reportedly, there were approximately 2,000 companies involved in the U.S. car industry in its
While the stock market has performed well this year, the gains have not been spread broadly. Many well-known companies and underperforming blue-chip stocks have trailed the market’s performance and disappointed investors. Poor-performing blue chips reached their current predicaments due to several factors, such as declining sales, weak earnings, sour sentiment, and rising competition. Whatever the
Analyst ratings are a key factor that can influence an investor’s decision to take a position in a stock. Analysts work for financial firms or investment banks. They analyze companies and offer a rating that helps investors differentiate between stocks that are likely to outperform and overhyped stocks. Because of their relationships with company insiders,
