Semiconductor stocks have seen solid returns in 2021. As a result, the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index (SOX) is up around 12.5% in the past 12 months. Meanwhile, numbers from the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics show that global sales in the industry will likely grow close to 9% in 2022. Yet, despite these positive prospects, many

Known as a silicon-wafer fabricator or “fab,” Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM) struggled along with other tech part makers amid 2021’s global supply shortage. Consequently, TSM stock chopped around and made little progress that year. Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com Now however, Wall Street is warming up to Taiwan Semiconductor in 2022. This company is rarely buzz-worthy in

When Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) posted a small profit in the last quarter, it marked a positive turning point. Skittish investors will ignore TLRY stock because of its meme trade last year sending it to a $67 high.

Investors in fantasy sports betting company DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG) have started 2022 on a down note. DKNG stock has already declined more than 20% since the start of January, adding to its substantial losses in 2021. By comparison, the S&P 500 index has only dipped 4.7% in January.

In recent days, multiple analysts on Wall Street have been defending Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock, and I’ve become convinced that the worries about the company’s production shortfall are overblown. Moreover, I’ve recently become more optimistic about the longer-term macro outlook for high-quality growth stocks in general. Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock As a result of these

Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock took a beating last year. PLTR stock is down more than 67% from its 52-week high price, currently sitting at $14.56. The signs of deceleration in the company’s public-sector business have been a key reason for the sluggishness. However, the positive developments in the past few months reiterate my belief in the

AT&T (NYSE:T) had a difficult fiscal year from an investor perspective. In 2021, the company could not live up to its expectations. However, investors need only look forward as they offer a bright future for those who invest in T stock now. AT&T’s 5G ambitions may align with its roots. But it will take time

I am bullish on Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE:NIO). That’s a tough stance to take right now. Beijing is stepping up regulatory pressure on domestic companies. Nio stock is just one among several high-profile casualties of these moves. However, the underlying fundamentals of the company remain solid. Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com In

Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) is continuing to take steps that further extend its first-mover advantage in multiple aspects of the hydrogen ecosystem.

Over the past few years, I’ve been a big fan of Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU). I’ve written positively about ROKU stock during its good times in the second half of 2020 and early 2021, its bad times at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and in the second half of 2021, and its mediocre times in early

Dissimilar to any disruptive event in modern American history, the coronavirus pandemic is the first disaster that has affected everyone: across state borders, class and income spectrums and demographic categories. Even if you weren’t especially negatively impacted, you almost certainly noticed the disruption to your working environment. Many were able to operate remotely while others

Wall Street investors are very fickle these days. They are showing no commitment in either direction for longer than a few hours at a time. This makes it very difficult to commit capital with great conviction. This dynamic is part of what has impacted Teladoc (NYSE:TDOC) stock. TDOC has given up the entire relief rally

Investors in Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) stock have not had much to celebrate since the company went public in July 2021. In fact, shares are down nearly 60% over the past six months.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock has been in a sort of free fall for the past several months. I suspect that it may be at a point where investors can begin accumulating it. One reason is that I foresee that AMZN stock will stage a rebound sometime this quarter or in the spring. Source: BigTunaOnline / Shutterstock.com

Chinese premium electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) hasn’t had a smooth 2021. NIO stock was once trading at the highs of $60 and is down to $30 today. Nothing has gone wrong with the company but the overall investor sentiment has led to the sell-off. There are also several concerns associated with Chinese regulations and

Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX), the Gaithersburg, Maryland-based biotech company, still has not submitted its Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use approval (EUA) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
