For years, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was a darling on Wall Street. However, investors soured on technology stocks last year — and today, not every analyst favors AAPL stock. At the end of the day, investors must weigh the positives and negatives before considering a share position in Apple. Analysts’ ratings aren’t the be-all and end-all of

Experts’ opinions shouldn’t be treated as gospel, but they can help investors make sense of the data that’s available. In the case of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), analysts on Wall Street are generally bullish and envision higher prices for AMZN stock.

When GameStop (NYSE:GME) reports earnings on March 21 after markets close, Wall Street expects a damp squib. Analysts anticipate revenues of only $2.18 billion, 3.2% less than last year’s figures. And net income should clock in at a -$48.5 million loss. Fewer new console games… a reduced store count… bad news from suppliers… we’re probably seeing

Amongst investors, sentiment for Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) has clearly swung back to bearish. However, among the Wall Street analyst community, opinions on LCID stock differ.

To most investors, the term “funding secured” should be music to their ears. In 2018, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares jumped 11% when CEO Elon Musk tweeted that he would take his firm private for a… high… $420 per share. And many businesses today owe their existence to their fundraising skills. According to Thomson Reuters, 31% of

After getting knocked significantly lower during 2022, shares in Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) have made a stunning comeback so far in 2023.

After starting off the year with a big move higher, the latest wave of fear and uncertainty has knocked Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) lower in recent weeks. With this, like with other FAANG stocks, growth and value investors alike are once again calling a bottom with AMZN stock. On the surface, the argument some are making about

Last month, it appeared as though the market was warming back up to Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock since it was trending higher. Largely, because of growing speculation that the electric vehicle maker would report strong production guidance in its then-upcoming quarterly earnings release on Feb. 28. But just ahead of earnings, shares moved lower. After

What are well-heeled investors buying nowadays? As we’ll discover, some of them are taking share positions in machine-learning software specialist C3.ai (NYSE:AI).

Stocks are trying to stage a rally on Thursday, even as worries persist over Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS), regional banks, interest rates and more.

If you had $200 billion lying around, why wouldn’t you want to have your own bank? That’s probably what Twitter CEO Elon Musk thought when he floated the idea of buying SVB Financial’s (NASDAQ:SIVB) subsidiary Silicon Valley Bank on March 11. Other tech and crypto moguls have since offered up plans of their own. If you

If you wanted to build a profitable bank, how would you do it? The founders of SoFi (NASDAQ:SOFI) certainly had the right idea. Instead of lending to businesses (which tend to chase after the lowest-possible interest rates), why not loan cash to rich kids instead? Or at least the kids you think will become rich
