Undervalued semiconductor stocks are excellent additions to any portfolio because chip sales are expected to rise 13.1% in 2024 after falling about 8% in 2023. Global semiconductor sales climbed 15.8% to $46.4 billion in April, rising monthly for the first time this year. This serves as an encouraging indication for cheap semiconductor stocks. Among the

In my view, it’s important for every individual to invest in equities. By just holding cash in a back account, there is bound to be loss of purchasing power when adjusted for inflation. To maintain or increase purchasing power, investors need exposure to risky asset classes. However, not all investors have the appetite for high-risk

In a stock market that’s somewhat lacking in volatility, value investors are sure to find other things to be anxious about. Indeed, momentum is growing behind a wide range of names, especially those in tech with artificial intelligence (AI) plans and products under development. For some value-conscious folks, the magnitude of momentum driven by an

Bet on penny stocks under $5 with interest rate cuts looming. However, it’s important to note that penny stocks are notoriously volatile, especially those trading for under $5. These stocks usually belong to businesses in their nascence or grapple with significant hurdles. Hence, most investment experts advise caution when dealing with the speculative nature of

It is not hyperbole to say we are closer to World War III than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. With the U.S. and its western allies provoking Russia over its invasion of Ukraine by saying they will admit the country into NATO, hostilities could escalate. Similarly, war in the Middle

Most investors are primarily concerned with building long-term wealth as opposed to capturing quick gains. Of course, those same investors would gladly reap short-term gains if they were reliable, but they aren’t. It remains incredibly difficult to identify stocks that will perform well over the short term. Yet, identifying stocks with the potential to create

Everyone’s definition of cash-cow stocks is different. I consider cash-cow stocks to be companies whose free cash flow (FCF) is considerably higher than the capital expenditures required to keep the business running efficiently. FCF generators with high FCF yields, defined as free cash flow divided by enterprise value, are even better.  I look for those

As the second half of 2024 unfolds, main Wall Street indices are reaching new highs. The Nasdaq 100 index soared more than 20% year-to-date, and the S&P 500 saw an all-time high with a 16% surge. Meanwhile, the hunt for undervalued breakout stocks intensified among savvy investors. Think of it as a Wall Street plot

There was a great deal of uncertainty surrounding Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and its AI strategy (or lack of one) entering this year. With the first half now over, investors now have more understanding of where Apple is headed in the AI age. Indeed, the Cupertino-based innovator is shooting for intelligence (note the lack of “artificial”) that’s

After a tumultuous 2023, the stock market is back on its feet this year, putting high-potential stocks in the spotlight. Stocks are climbing steadily, the S&P 500 has been up 17% in the last six months, and inflation rates have cooled. Now, as we reach the midpoint, several companies hope to keep the momentum and

Are you interested in AI but don’t know where to start? I can’t blame you. Researching artificial intelligence stocks can be overwhelming. To cut through the noise, I prefer to look to the analysts who share their insight on certain assets through ratings. This gives us an easier way to identify quality stocks, with an

Navigating the stock market can often feel like sailing through unpredictable waters, especially in times of economic uncertainty. This makes the case for the best safe stocks to buy in July. There are a myriad of factors that can contribute to an increasingly uncertain market. This can include market volatility, geopolitical tensions and federal reserve

The search for millionaire-maker growth stocks is a never-ending one. But finding companies that are poised to make significant moves higher isn’t an easy task. Finding the “next big thing” may be more difficult than locating companies that have previously provided outsized returns. The three companies on this list can certainly be put in such

Recent insights from the Altagamma Consumer and Retail Insight event in Milan make a compelling bull case for betting on luxury retail stocks. A qualitative analysis presented during the event showed how the luxury space relies on few affluent clients. Despite the broader economic headwinds, these high-end customers continue driving robust revenue for luxury brands.

The search for top flying car stocks is on. Growth investors initially piled into this industry last year, with many top players in this potential trillion-dollar industry (by 2040) seeing sharp gains. Unfortunately, many top electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) companies have seen stark declines this year as growth investors eye other high-growth sectors

Predicting which stocks will prove successful over the long term has always been somewhat difficult. A lot can change over the long term and a winner that looks well-positioned today can see its strengths erode over a period of years or months, if not overnight. At the same time, investors have made fortunes by simply holding on to companies for 10 years or more that exhibit strong competitive advantages. Of course,

After a period of aggressive interest rate hikes aimed at taming inflation, the Federal Reserve is poised to shift gears in the coming months. With inflation moderating and approaching the Fed’s 2% target, economists and investors anticipate rate cuts as early as September 2024. Lower interest rates typically benefit certain sectors through lower borrowing costs
