Intel’s (NASDAQ:INTC) early July rally is starting to peter out. However, Intel stock may not be gearing up to cough back any of these latest gains. Shares in the chipmaker, which a few weeks ago hit a new 52-week low of $29.73 per share, are currently holding steady at price levels in the mid-$30s per

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has been central to the AI revolution, with shares surging nearly 200% over the past year. The recent 10-for-one split enhanced accessibility for retail investors, who rushed into Nvidia stock after missing the earlier rally.  However, Nvidia faces competition from homegrown GPUs by companies like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), as well

The Magnificent 7 stocks have been the talk of Wall Street, and for good reason. These tech titans — Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) — have delivered stellar returns, driving the stock market to new heights. In fact, these seven stocks now account

U.S. equities markets continue on their jaw-dropping rally. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has risen 22.6% since the start of the year, while the S&P 500 has hit a record, rising 18.1% on a year-to-date basis.  The rally is largely a continuation of what we had observed in 2023, a clear extension of the so-called “AI

These days, it seems everyone is worried about an inflationary bust. Many expect that over the next few months, inflation will reheat and push an already-fragile U.S. economy into recession.  But I think the opposite will happen. Instead, I’m calling for a disinflationary boom wherein stocks soar throughout the summer.   And it’s all thanks to

As we enter the back half of 2024, I believe it’s time for a reality check. While the software rally has been fun, not all of these high-flying software stocks can justify their nosebleed valuations. Some appear bound to come back down to Earth. It’s worth digging deeper into Palantir (NYSE:PLTR), Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), and Snowflake

If you don’t own at least one of the Magnificent Seven technology titans, odds are you’re probably trailing the S&P 500 by a wide margin. Indeed, beating the market is tough without some help from the technology sector’s biggest, brightest stars. After explosive rallies enjoyed in recent months, though, some may view the Magnificent Seven

There’s a great deal to like about Soundhound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) stock at this point. Its exposure to the AI megatrend, alliance with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and strong, overall growth are all in its favor. However, given the stock’s recent, overdone rally, along with the name’s extremely high valuation and significant competition, I recommend that investors hold

Buying a stock is very easy but picking the right stock is tough. As we embark on the second half of the year, it is time to reevaluate your stock investment portfolio. The first half has been incredible for several stocks as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 steadily hit new highs and now is the

The S&P 500 has continued to receive bullish forecasts from market analysts, including recent analyst upgrades. Some suggest the index could reach a target of 6,100 by the end of the year. The optimism is grounded in the index’s foundation of earnings growth, with additional support from favorable inflation news and expectations of a Federal

Are you willing to give an ambitious electric vehicle startup a chance? Can you tolerate risk, volatility and drama? If so, then you might consider investing in Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (NASDAQ:FFIE). While there’s no guarantee of safety with Faraday Future stock, we’re giving it a “B” grade and it may be right for a small

In case you haven’t noticed, a whole lot of pain and pessimism has already been priced into Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock. I’ve warned investors about Plug Power stock before. However, it’s been beaten down so badly that the risk-reward balance actually seems to favor the buyers now. This isn’t just a “nowhere left to go but up”

Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) is constantly in the financial news lately because of an upcoming event. This can cause investors to become distracted and try to “game the system” by getting ahead of other stock traders. Stay focused on what’s important. Broadcom stock is a “B” grade stock for a right-sized position. Just to recap, Broadcom provides networking

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is a famous semiconductor developer, and its chief executive, Lisa Su, is a Wall Street celebrity. However, the market may be too optimistic about Advanced Micro Devices stock. It’s a tough call, but we’re assigning it a “B” grade for the time being. The recent price pullback from $200 may tempt you

Electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) might produce sleek and powerful automobiles, but there are problems underneath the hood of this company. Instead of waiting for a miracle to happen, investors should cut their losses or, better yet, just avoid Lucid stock altogether. I have to respect Lucid Group’s loyal investors. They’ve suffered harsh losses this year. I wish

Medical device stocks are effectively redefining the healthcare industry through innovative technology. The digitization trend in healthcare continues gaining steam, with advanced medical devices enhancing healthcare outcomes while becoming critical drivers in driving financial markets. These tools offer accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and personalized care, improving healthcare outcomes substantially. Hence, given their potential to revolutionize

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has been on a tear lately. Apple stock has bounced back to not only the $200 per share mark, but onward to new all-time highs. As you likely already know, this latest wave of bullishness for the tech giant’s shares has all to do with its plans to capitalize on the generative artificial

It’s been a crazy ride for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shareholders in 2024. Tesla stock opened 2024 trading at $250.08. It fell 44% in less than four months to a low of $138.80. In the 74 days since, TSLA is up 78%, less than $60 from $300, a level the stock hasn’t seen since September 2022.  Looking

A recent article appeared in Adweek highlighting the success both Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) are having with their ad-supported streaming products. That got me thinking about the consumer stocks that have supported the two companies and revenue growth from increased advertising.  “Broadly speaking, we are going to see some more pronounced lift given

Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI), a provider of artificial intelligence server infrastructure, became the market’s new shiny metal object in 2024. There are reasons to like Super Micro Computer, including an agreement to manufacture hardware for a well-known billionaire. However, it’s problematic that Super Micro Computer stock is expensive and susceptible to a sustained pullback. It’s
