Last year, hackers stayed busy, launching 2,365 cyberattacks and resulting in more than 343 million victims. This wake-up call has made cybersecurity stocks more important than ever, turning them into a hotbed for investors. Despite all the technological breakthroughs and global increase in cybersecurity spending, many institutions still need to catch up. Cyber threats evolve

Defense stocks have been on a tear in recent months, with many names hitting new all-time highs. The ongoing highly volatile geopolitical environment is primarily driving this surge. This includes the ongoing war in Ukraine and the increasingly unstable situation in the Middle East, particularly the conflict between Israel and Hamas, along with the involvement

Virtual reality (VR) stocks ride on the coattails of trends seen in the market, such as the metaverse, cloud gaming and immersive entertainment experiences. Virtual reality draws them together, and I think we have only just started to witness its full potential. The VR market, already valued at $22.81 billion in 2024, is projected to
Initially a graphics card company, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has become a leader in AI chips under CEO Jensen Huang. Despite recent declines, Nvidia stock surged 116% in 2024 and 130% over the past 12 months. With a 629% increase in earnings per share but correspondingly high valuation multiples, there are questions about where this stock is
Markets have yet to recover from the sudden dip they experienced at the start of the month, revealing how poor economic data can spook investors and impact stocks. The drop and rather slow recovery suggest investors remain cautious and may consider which stocks to sell now ahead of a potential trend resumption. The substantial rise
Outside of artificial intelligence chipmaker Nvidia, the best AI trade over the past 12 months has also been a lesser-known company by the name of Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) stock.

The U.S. economy is likely expanding significantly, as the Federal Reserve is now predicting that the economy will grow by a strong, seasonally adjusted, annualized rate of 2.9% above inflation during the current quarter.

The anticipated interest rate cuts at the Federal Reserve’s September meeting have put several stocks to buy in the limelight. With interest rates above 5% for over a year and an economic slowdown, investors anticipate a potential rate cut at September’s meeting.

It’s good to have friends in high places. That is certainly what Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) thinks. The Saudi Arabian government’s sovereign wealth fund Public Investment Fund (PIF) just injected the luxury electric vehicle maker with another $1.5 billion in cash, which gives it enough money to survive through the fourth quarter of 2025. Yet, it’s
The tech sector has offered many opportunities to multiply money.

Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) might be the least loved Magnificent Seven member. Oddly enough, Tesla is either a pioneer or a pariah, depending on whom you ask about it.

Is there an artificial intelligence (AI) stock bubble that’s only starting to burst, or is the latest sell-off nothing more than a healthy, much-needed correction? That’s the big question on investors’ minds as they contemplate buying the dip in previously heated growth plays that are starting to show signs of bottoming out. Of course, only
Companies have life cycles just like people do. Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) fall in July told some investors this is a mature company past the peak of growth, one that will evolve into a value stock. It’s up an astounding 2,654% over the last five years. NVDA stock can’t possibly keep rising, can it? After hitting over
Broadcom’s (NASDAQ:AVGO) stock may hit new highs as the semiconductor sector will integrate a sharp recovery in the fourth quarter of 2024.

How many times did we warn investors about Intel (NASDAQ:INTC)? Sometimes, buying dips can sink ships. Today, we’ll be generous and give Intel stock a “D” grade instead of an outright “F,” since Intel’s chip-foundry business could be highly valuable someday.
