Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock has had an interesting year. The company has done very well making plug-in hybrid vehicles, battery-powered cars backed by gasoline engines. A PHEV avoids many trade-offs plaguing other electric cars. Lithium ion batteries are heavy. They have less energy density than gasoline, even with the weight of an engine added. Li’s

In the modern age, people are ready to get excited about flying car industry stocks.  Excitement continues to build around flying car stocks following recent positive news in the sector. California startup Alef Auto got FAA certification to test its Model A vehicle. That vehicle could become the first vehicle that can both fly and

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has had a spectacular run, but there is no guarantee that its success will continue. Competitors like Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) are rapidly innovating and introducing more advanced chips that may eventually surpass Nvidia’s offerings. In this article, we will delve into the potential risks that may limit Nvidia’s growth, and evaluate

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) CEO Lisa Su has achieved almost heroic status. Moreover, AMD stock has rallied sharply in 2023 so far. Yet, not every expert on Wall Street is bullish about Advanced Micro Devices (commonly abbreviated as AMD). Ultimately, it’s smart for investors to get both sides of the story and maintain a reasonable

Shares of AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) rose as much as 67% on Friday after Delaware courts denied a settlement for a planned merger of AMC’s Preferred Stock (NYSE:APE) with its common issue. At first glance, this seems like excellent news to common AMC shareholders. A merger between the two share classes would have torpedoed AMC’s stock

Nio (NYSE:NIO), a prominent player in the electric vehicle industry, has been a rollercoaster of a stock. The company’s shares have seen a considerable drop since their 2021 peak. Is now the time to start betting on a reversal in trend? First, let’s talk company dynamics. NIO stock has been affected by China’s slow economic

Artificial intelligence is the talk of the town right now. Naturally, many stocks in the AI space have seen valuations grow, as productivity benefits flow downstream. The higher demand that corresponds to these benefits creates greater demand, and an upward spiral for investors. Indeed, the rally we’ve seen in many AI stocks is not unjustified. However,

Those who track me on Twitter (@leadlagreport) know I often use colorful language in describing Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), a leading player in the graphics processing unit (GPU) market. NVDA stock has skyrocketed, with its market capitalization surpassing the $1 trillion milestone. Nvidia’s success is primarily attributed to the rapid growth and adoption of AI technologies, where

Up well over threefold since January, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has not only become one of the top-performing, most talked-about stocks. NVDA stock has also become a name that is difficult to figure out. Excitement about, and initial strong results from, booming demand for generative artificial intelligence chips are the main reason behind this semiconductor stock’s jaw-dropping

The bear case for SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) has long been based upon valuation-related concerns. Using traditional valuation metrics, SOFI stock appears pricey to more value-conscious investors. In their view, SoFi seems more like its “old school” banking rivals than it does to other more tech-driven companies in the fintech space. Earlier this month, a sell-side

Prior to 2023, many financial traders had never heard of enterprise artificial intelligence company C3.ai (NYSE:AI). Then, the machine-learning boom got underway and AI stock rallied quickly. That’s exciting, but it’s important to weigh the bullish and bearish sides of the argument if you’re considering investing in C3.ai. C3.ai was deeply immersed in the machine learning industry before

The current bull market is ablaze with money to be made right now. After a brutal decline in 2022, stocks have come roaring back in the last eight months, led by a resurgence in technology stocks. In 2023, the Nasdaq is already up an incredible 40%, while the benchmark S&P 500 has gained 20%. The

If there’s one thing that the market dislikes, it’s uncertainty. And, there’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) in 2023. Sure, GME stock could surge in the year’s second half, but it could also crash. In the final analysis, the best policy to to just watch and wait from the sidelines. Could

In 2023 Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock has gone from being the cheapest of the Cloud Czars, on a price to earnings basis, to the second most valuable. Its PE of 38.38 on July 18 was narrowly ahead of Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), which was at 38.18, and well ahead of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), at 32.78. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL)

Investors have been piling back into growth stocks — perhaps somewhat begrudgingly — as the group continues to gravitate higher. These promising growth stocks have become top stocks to buy as they continue to rise higher. Fear of missing out — or “FOMO” — may be driving some of these gains, although the stocks do

In most, if not all, of my prior articles on QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock, I’ve taken a bearish view. However, ahead of the electric vehicle battery company’s upcoming earnings release, I’m taking a second look at the situation. Don’t get me wrong. QS remains very speculative and at risk of a sharp price decline if the

Since its inception, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been defying norms and pushing boundaries. Its ambitious mission to “accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy” has propelled it to the forefront of the global EV industry. However, the TSLA stock narrative extends beyond its prowess in EV manufacturing. Its foray into areas such as autonomous driving technology,

Investors remain confident in Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock’s strong position in the generative AI race, despite US-China tensions. NVDA stock has risen 3% in July, outperforming the Nasdaq Index, and has surged 200% this year, reaching a market cap over $1 trillion. While investors are bullish on Nvidia’s potential, there are several key points they should watch

Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock ran into resistance last week but remains strong. Anyone who bought Li on its IPO in mid-2020 is sitting on a profit of 140%. I’ve looked at Li stock from several angles. These include its business selling plug-in hybrids, the luxury appointments of those vehicles, the life story of founder Li

A handful of large-scale financial traders reduced or eliminated their positions in SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock. Should this be a deal-breaker for prospective investors? Not necessarily, as a high-court ruling could have a major, positive impact on SoFi Technologies and its stakeholders. It’s been fascinating to watch the market dislike SoFi Technologies for a while, and
