Stock Market

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock was one of the laggards in 2022 as broader market trends forced shares into a retreat. The stock experienced a steep decline of 76% in 2022, reaching its highest point during the first week of trading and gradually decreasing during a turbulent year. However, the year thus far has been brilliant for

If there’s an arms race in generative artificial intelligence, Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) definitely isn’t in the lead position. It’s going to be very difficult for Alphabet to catch up to Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) in that area, and value-conscious investors should be cautious about GOOG stock in 2023. Microsoft is integrating generative AI technology quickly and effectively

AI stocks have dominated the financial headlines in 2023. By now, you’re familiar with how artificial intelligence could change every aspect of our lives. You’ve likely seen the oft-cited Grand View Research stat that the global AI market could hit $1.81 trillion by 2030. And you’ve probably heard Bank of America analysts say AI is

I have owned Amazon.Com (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock for a decade, and I have never been more worried about it. It’s not just that shares are down 40% over the last year. It’s not just that growth slowed to 9% last year or that it lost money. It’s certainly not the layoffs. It’s that the company appears

Silicon Valley Bank may have failed, but you can still buy shares in SVB Financial Group (OTCMKTS:SIVBQ), its parent company. Trading in SVB Financial stock on the Nasdaq Exchange was suspended on March 10 following SVB’s collapse. However, on March 28, this stock, formerly trading under the ticker symbol SIVB, resumed trading in the over-the-counter (or OTC) market under the ticker

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) is well-known for introducing new, vastly improved, high-end desktop chips. Accordingly, as hardware and data center trends improve, many analysts are expecting INTC stock to rise. My own personal INTC stock price prediction stands at a whopping $85 per share. There are many reasons for this, over and above the aforementioned thesis. Intel

As JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon recently stated, the banking crisis is “not yet over.” What investors may want to know, however, is how this crisis impacts this particular bank itself. And, most importantly, what the situation looks like for JPM stock going forward. Last month, when the failure of SVB Financial’s (OTCMKT:SIVBQ) Silicon Valley Bank subsidiary set the

C3.ai (NYSE:AI), a pure-play enterprise AI software provider, has been one of the high flyers of the market in 2023. Since the start of the year, AI stock has gone from strength to strength. As of the time of writing, shares are up more than 90% since the start of the year. However, recent developments,

The 2022 tech wreck wiped out 40% of Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) equity value. However, 2023 has brought GOOG stock within 3% of where it was two years ago. The company behind Google is now worth $1.33 trillion, making it the third most-valuable of the “Cloud Czars” behind Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) at $2.6 trillion and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) at $2.1 trillion. But neither of the

Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Polestar Automotive (NASDAQ:PSNY) is known for catering to luxury car buyers. There are benefits and drawbacks to this approach. PSNY stock will probably move higher over the next couple of years but don’t expect quick gains if you’re planning to invest in Polestar. As we’ll see, Polestar has ambitions to make a

You know how the saying goes. The best time to plant a tree, or build generational wealth, was 30 years ago. The second-best time is right now. For those looking to pass something down to their grandkids, there’s always the question of what the best sort of investment is. Sure, bonds now carry yields we

In recent weeks, Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has started to make a steady move to higher prices. After hitting a new all-time low during mid-March, during the last few trading days of the month, investors warmed back up to Rivian stock. This was due to speculation that the electric vehicle (or EV maker) would beat estimates

After pulling back during February and early March, Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) shares have been on the rise over the past few weeks. With its move back to around $9.50 per share, CVNA stock is again one of this year’s top performers. This year, the stock has more than doubled. That’s some strong performance. That said, I think speculators are

Shares in GameStop (NYSE:GME) zoomed higher during March, and interestingly enough, for reasons more substantive than usual. That this, last month’s GME stock spike was based on more than merely “hope and hype” from the meme stock community. Instead, the video game retailer’s quarterly results were behind the rally. Coming in well ahead of expectations with earnings,

Some financial traders may have great expectations for China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) in 2023. Yet, it’s wise to be cautious with NIO stock. The automaker may be overly optimistic, and building a network of battery swapping stations might or might not be a successful venture for Nio. Last year, Nio had to deal with

General Motors (NYSE:GM) is firing on all cylinders. Plus, the American auto sector is again accelerating. Moreover, GM’s longer-term prognosis is quite good, as the automaker’s electric-vehicle business looks poised to thrive. Better, GM appears well-positioned to launch a lucrative robotaxi business.  Given these points, I’m very bullish on GM stock, and I recommend that

Could cannabis and related products producer Canopy Growth (NASDAQ:CGC) actually get booted from the Nasadq exchange? This probably won’t happen next week or next month, but the five-year outlook isn’t great. As Canopy Growth engages in what some critics might call acts of desperation, CGC stock investors have a tough decision to make. It’s stunning to consider

The speculative fervor around Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has something in common with a short squeeze. At some point, it ends in tears for someone. There’s also no doubt that NVDA stock is a bubble stock. We’re talking about 118 times earnings and 25 times sales. This is happening just two years after the last tech

During March, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock moved higher. That’s not surprising. Other tech stocks, including this tech giant’s main peers, performed well during the month. In fact, some of them performed even more strongly, making the gains with AMZN stock over the past few weeks (around 10.5%) seem modest by comparison. There are manifold reasons for

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) faced an unusual setback when the stock dropped by over $100 billion following a mishap with its generative AI earlier in the year. Specifically, its Bard chatbot ad provided inaccurate information. Furthermore, analysts criticized the company’s AI search event for lacking details on responding to Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) ChatGPT challenge in Feb. Alphabet is in a favorable
