While the latest news from SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) has largely been positive, you wouldn’t think that if all you did was view a SoFi Technologies stock chart. Despite beating quarterly earnings, shares in the fintech firm and neobank continue to slump. Clearly, market sentiment for SoFi remains on the bearish side. With 17.6% of its

Video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME), along with global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) and a handful of other companies, are the talk of Wall Street again.

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) may capitalize on the generative AI trend, but Intel stock has moved the other way so far this year.

With Bitcoin (BTC-USD) prices gaining again, growth-focused investors may wish to turn their attention to the blockchain stocks, many of which may be trading at enticing valuations now that blockchain technology’s applications outside of cryptocurrencies are starting to lose a bit of luster.

The latest CPI report indicated that inflation is once again cooling. CPI only increased by 3.4% year-over-year and was up by 0.3% in April.

The IEA’s Renewables 2023 report highlights the rapid expansion of renewable power capacity worldwide, which grew by 50% in 2023, led by China, Europe, the United States, and Brazil.

While their stocks may have cooled off somewhat since the end of this year’s first quarter, the mega-cap technology stocks collectively known as the Magnificent 7 remain great investments.

Furthermore, they are teeming with potential to reward patient investors. These three battery stocks have some of the best positions within the battery sector. They are
As inflation remains increasingly sticky, finding undervalued stocks to buy has become increasingly difficult. Meme stocks like GameStop (NYSE:GME) continue climbing despite rapidly approaching market saturation, which could leave retail traders holding the bag when the music stops.
