Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock has long been the gold standard in tech – the most valuable company in the world, with a fanatically loyal customer base and an unmatched track record of innovation. For years, investors flocked to AAPL as a safe haven, a stock you could count on for steady, reliable returns in both good

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has been living in the shadow of its larger rival, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), for quite some time now. In less than a year, AMD has gone from being seen as a peer to Nvidia to more of a “Nvidia-lite” in the eyes of many investors. The stock tends to move in tandem

Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock is a company to watch as it heads into its earnings season for the third quarter. My recommendation for investors to hold this stock. Palantir stock continues to show strong revenue growth. I have concerns about the firm’s valuation and its ability to improve profitability. The third quarter will be an important

Wall Street loves artificial intelligence no matter what flavor it comes in. After intelligent voice leader SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) reported second-quarter earnings on August 8, analysts engaged in a round of raising their price targets on SOUN stock.  They now have a $7.08 per share consensus view for the stock, which implies a 42% upside

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. The best way to sum up Tesla’s current situation is: “It’s complicated.” Therefore, if you intend to buy Tesla stock, only purchase a few shares and have

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

A lot of analysts have been discussing the potential of Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock from the lens of the company’s slowly declining innovative edge. After all, 2023 marked the first year that Apple’s sales for devices like the Mac and iPad dipped substantially from the year prior. Whether it was a lack of innovation or declining

Every investor is well aware of the volatility sweeping the markets over the past few weeks. The same investors are trying to understand whether a market meltdown or massive opportunity is ahead. While no one knows with 100% accuracy there are several stocks investors should watch to get a better grasp of the future market

The recent plunge investors have seen in Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) has been truly remarkable. Shares of the server and storage giant surged more than 1,200% during the recent AI boom but have since dropped more than 50% from their peak. That said, there are reasons why many investors view SMCI stock as a strong

Always pay close attention to new stock price targets from firms, like Needham.  While the firm won’t always get it right, price upgrades are still worth paying attention to.  Perhaps they’re seeing favorable industry trends that are impacting a covered stock. Maybe the financial health of a stock based on earnings or guidance is improving.

Sometimes, the success of a company can take the stock so high that it pushes investors away. It is due to this reason that the management announces a stock split. While a stock split does not change anything in terms of the fundamentals of the company, it makes it easier for investors to own the stock. 2024 has been the

On July 11, private equity firm Platinum Equity Advisors announced that it would acquire Héroux-Devtek (OTCMKTS:HERXF), a Quebec-based aerospace firm. The $1.35 billion deal is one of the many Canadian acquisition targets that are or should be on American firms’ buy lists.  Why are American firms attracted to Canadian businesses? The reasons include close geometric

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is set to report second-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings on July 30th. I expect the chipmaker to post strong results. Wall Street has rewarded the stock due to the explosive growth in artificial intelligence applications and a recovery in the PC market. However, while AMD’s long-term prospects remain bright, I’m taking a

When your reputation is in tatters, being able to pull your company up out of the ashes takes a Herculean effort. Certainlyit is not easy. As Warren Buffett once said, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you will do things differently.” Some companies apparently never thought about

Oracle is one of the major companies in the cloud computing and software for enterprise markets.  The financial performance of Oracle has been good with strong revenues and earnings. It has also paid great attention to the

There’s a good-news, bad-news situation happening now with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). It’s getting a lot of coverage in the financial press, but it’s not positive coverage. Still, long-term shareholders should adopt a “This, too, shall pass” perspective and not panic-sell Microsoft stock. Microsoft isn’t to blame for the negative news, unless you fault them for relying

When Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock rolled out its AI-generative search feature named Search Generative Experience (SGE), it was perhaps the biggest change to its Google product ever. On top of being perhaps the biggest change, it is certainly the most controversial. One might wonder what extra usefulness is being added to the user experience (aside

The extended bull market we are in has not been one where a rising tide lifts all boats. The S&P 500 is up 15% year-to-date and is 52% higher since October 2022 when the latest run-up began. While a lot of the gains for the benchmark index can be tied to how well the Magnificent

Leading contract chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) has undeniably been a market darling so far in 2024. The stock’s ascent to an all-time high of $193.47 on July 11 shows its dominant position in the global chipmaking landscape. TSM stock has surged over 50% year-to-date (YTD). It has significantly outperformed the Philadelphia Stock Exchange

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) held its annual Prime Day sales extravaganza on July 16 and 17. Shoppers spent an estimated $14.2 billion this year over the two-day event, an 11% increase from last year.
