It seems like forever ago, but it’s only been a year or two since Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) was widely ridiculed on social media for losing market share to its chipmaker rivals. The future looks more promising for Intel today, however. While we’re not currently prepared to give INTC stock an outright “A” grade, we’ll give it a
The Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock outlook has become even more bleak after the company revealed its latest earnings. Despite its stronger position compared to Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) and Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN), the company has challenges. The roughly 15% post-earnings slump suggests declining prospects. The question is whether this trend will reverse. Rivian announced layoffs. The company
In the middle of a market rally, QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock took a tumble of late, with QS stock now down significantly from its January peak.

The global fight against climate change has fueled a surge in investor interest towards green energy stocks. Companies operating in the renewable energy sector, like wind, solar, hydrogen, electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage continue to attract increased attention.

While crowd wisdom has its place, when it comes to contrarian stocks, going against the grain could be profitable. One example just materialized recently. Over the last several days, investors have been following lunar services provider Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ:LUNR) with interest. Poised to make history with its Nova-C lander touching down on the surface of
Following another shaky day in the market, investors may want to consider cash cow dividend stocks. They’re not sexy and they probably won’t make you rich. However, they get the job done when faced with challenging circumstances. For football fans, cash cow dividend stocks symbolize the jumbo package of Wall Street. Basically, you grab your
As excitement builds, U.S. federal agencies are looking to revise cannabis regulations. Support for cannabis legalization has surged to unprecedented levels, which bodes incredibly well for cannabis stocks. A Gallup survey in November last year revealed that a staggering 70% of Americans advocate for cannabis legalization, marking a historic high in public sentiment. This sentiment

The U.S. economy is showing promise for a positive future with a potential productivity boom. Recent data suggests increased productivity due to technological advancements, lower inflation, a surge in innovative entrepreneurship and hybrid work models. This trend could lead to sustained economic growth, higher wages and other positive outcomes. Although confidence may take time to
Fundamentally, the bullish case for acquiring stalwart stocks is a simple one. It’s effectively Wall Street’s version of befriending the biggest, meanest schoolyard bully. We’ve all been in this situation before. As kids, we typically grow at a similar rate to our classmates. However, some kids are built differently, like they’re destined to play middle
While analyst sentiment isn’t the “be all, end all” of due diligence, retail traders should pay attention when consensus picks out a promising stock. Contrarian trades, or going against analyst forecasts, are sometimes lucrative when given enough conviction and research. Still, riding momentum driven by strong ratings of promising stocks is one of the best
Tech stocks have been some of the best investments of the past decade, to the point that finding “the next Google” has become a well-known phrase among investors. It’s no secret — if you want to chase outsized returns (along with outsized risk), tech stocks are the place to look for those types of gains,

There are lots of overextended stocks out there falling short thanks to dividend payments that are too good to be true. The internationally known pharmaceutical company Bayer (OTCMKTS:BAYRY) is a great example of this as the company recently announced a 95% dividend cut on Feb. 20. It plans to pay the legal minimum of 0.11
A big rally from Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has re-excited many investors. Many stocks are up for the year alongside the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100. This looks like a good year so far after a strong 2023. Even though numerous stocks are up for the year, the rally for some equities is just getting started. Some stocks look poised
After a nearly two-year rally, many well-known big tech stocks have valuations that look stretched, meaning this recent rally could be due for a breather. So, where do savvy investors put their money to work now in search of the next generation of multibagger returns? In my experience, times like these are well-suited for investors
There’s plenty of uncertainty in the market. Despite many forward indicators suggesting the market is doing well—low unemployment and steady wage growth should buffer the market—many aren’t so sure this will be the case a year or longer from now. Accordingly, the search for bulletproof stocks is on. Now, it’s entirely possible the Federal Reserve
