After losing its mojo during the last several years, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock really wants to get back in the groove. That’s easier said than done, though. As Intel seeks to establish multiple chip-fabrication factories, INTC stock should wonder how much this will cost and whether Intel can really succeed in a competitive field. Intel devolved from

Pharmaceutical stocks are trailing the market this year. So far in 2023, the Dow Jones U.S. Select Pharmaceuticals Index is down 5.4% while all three major indices are positive on the year.

Amidst the tumultuous financial markets, one can’t help but cast a wary eye on troubled businesses. These firms are making headlines for all the wrong reasons, keeping investors up at night and questioning their investment decisions.

Without a doubt, life is difficult for EV start-ups. Creating automobiles is a complex and challenging process, even under the most favorable conditions. Indeed, the design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of electric vehicles is a process fraught with potential pitfalls for a given company and its investors. Many EV start-ups face unique challenges due to
Investing legend Peter Lynch once noted, “Insiders might sell their shares for any number of reasons, but they buy them for only one: they think the price will rise.” He said that to suggest investors should ignore the noise that surrounds insider selling.

QuantumScape (NASDAQ:QS) is a battery start-up which has seen extreme volatility in recent years. A play on solid-state battery technology, QuantumScape provides investors with a much more speculative potential earnings curve than its EV peers.

Since the pandemic onset, student loan payments have paused, with interest rates at 0%. However, these payments will restart in late August, affecting consumer spending. This has led to the rise of stocks to avoid when loan payments resume. Student loan borrowers will face increased monthly expenses. Some may need to reduce spending, impacting certain
There’s nothing inherently wrong with rival automotive manufacturers making deals. Thus, it’s perfectly fine that electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has a charging-network agreement with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Still, RIVN stock traders need to be careful. The deal with Tesla doesn’t solve Rivian’s other problems, especially in the area of revenue versus expenditures. There’s also a
This year has been a boon for the tech-laden Nasdaq index and tech stocks as a whole. However, most of the growth in tech stocks was concentrated in a few key industries. Cloud names were soaring early this year, but the artificial intelligence (AI) companies ballooned in record-breaking fashion. Most top AI tech stocks trade
If you want to own a stock that will give you direct exposure to the growth of artificial intelligence, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) stock probably shouldn’t be your first choice. Frankly, Qualcomm hasn’t impressed investors lately even if the company’s stock looks like a “good value.” Qualcomm isn’t a terrible company, by any means. Yet, we want to
In the investing world, large investors such as hedge funds and private equity firms carry tremendous power to make or break a company. When a small or micro-cap stock gets backing from some large investment entity, it typically causes a massive shift in the company outlook. It gets eyes on it from prominent retail investors
The stock market has been surging lately. And, in conjunction, stocks at risk of short selling are also rising as traders look to take advantage of overpriced securities.

Given the riskier and more speculative nature of small-cap stocks, if you own a stock in this category, it’s important to keep an eye out for signs that said name has become one of the small-cap stocks to sell. A key warning sign to look out for is insider selling. That is the selling of
The meme stock craze was an exciting and crazy time for investors. Fortunes were seemingly won and lost as retail traders pushed the shares of struggling companies to unsustainable levels through coordinated short squeezes. Professional short sellers on Wall Street lost billions of dollars and some were pushed to the brink of collapse by the
Companies within the tech sector have been a real draw for investors for a long time. Stocks like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), which are all in the tech sector, are some of the most popular companies trading in the U.S. The upside for the tech sector keeps improving with the application of generative AI.
China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) is finally waking up to the idea that vehicle price cuts could be a winning strategy. Nio’s management doesn’t seem to think that battery swapping should be a free service. Nio’s pricing policy changes shouldn’t inspire confidence in NIO stock traders. I don’t always agree with analysts. However, I agree
With oil prices hovering around $70 and some analysts believing they could go as high as $100. Therefore, it may seem like a waste of time to think about high-risk oil stocks. However, there will come a day – perhaps later than 2050 – when the only place you’ll find an internal combustion engine vehicle is
To paraphrase a passage from Ecclesiastes, there’s a time to bump and a time to dump and that brings us to overvalued value stocks to sell. Listen, nobody likes talking about this subject because, psychologically, it’s akin to hurting puppies. And if there’s one thing you don’t do in America, it’s hurting puppies. There will
I’m on the record as being a big fan of dividend stocks. But not every dividend stock is a good one. In general, dividends are great because they provide an easy way to grow your portfolio, especially if you reinvest your payouts into the market. Other investors use dividends as a reliable source of passive
Based on the latest news with Nio (NYSE:NIO), apparently it’s not just retail speculators that are bullish on NIO stock. As announced this week, CYVN Holdings, an investment vehicle majority-owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi, is becoming a major investor in the China-based electric vehicle company.
