Sometimes, the best policy is for a company to stick to its core, bread-and-butter market. Ford Motor (NYSE:F) tried to expand into a difficult automotive market outside of the U.S., but without much success. Ford stock investors should insist that the automaker focus on doing what it does best, where it does it best. This

It’s certainly a notable that the CEO of Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG;NASDAQ:GOOGL) lightened his share position. Yet, this shouldn’t be a deal breaker for Alphabet’s investors, and we’re assigning Google stock a fairly confident “B” grade today. Alphabet is not a perfect company. Indeed, Google’s missteps in generative artificial intelligence have been cringe-inducing,

The financial technology (FinTech) industry is forecasted to grow at an annualized rate of 16.5% until 2032, illustrating its potential. However, information about the bulk of financial technology stocks is widely dispensed. As such, most FinTech stocks are either priced in or overvalued. Considering the above, I decided to embark on a journey to find

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) has rapidly enhanced its offerings with artificial intelligence. Since AI stocks are red-hot on Wall Street, perhaps traders pushed Palantir stock up a little too far and too fast. Still, we’re assigning the stock a “B” grade as Palantir is a financially solid and innovative AI-tech developer. You just never know where and how

Trends come and go, but one in fashion again is stock splits. Two years ago, there was a frenzy of splits in the tech space. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and even Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) all split their stock. But then the phenomenon died down last year. Now, it seems to be rebounding —

Social media site Reddit (NASDAQ:RDDT) has one glaring problem that holds it back from getting ahead. Most of its users don’t log into the platform but simply skim the comments. While that means they can’t create posts or comment on them, most people prefer to just read what others have to say. That’s bad for

Dear investors, utilities stocks are gearing up for a rebound. You better be paying attention. For the last three weeks, the utilities sector has cratered relative to the S&P 500. On one hand, you might think that’s to be expected. Utility stocks are often seen as defensive, boring plays, and many investors are not passionately

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock is considered an also-ran, with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and AMD’s (NASDAQ:AMD) chips drawing the eye. But now, there’s an $11 billion equity infusion offered by Apollo that could transform its chip manufacturing process. Plus the $8.5 billion in upgrade funding from the Biden administration. Under the leadership of reinstated CEO Pat Gelsinger, Intel

Given PayPal’s (NASDAQ:PYPL) continued, strong growth and its large user base, along with the low valuation of PayPal stock, I continue to believe that the shares will deliver strong returns over the long term. What’s more, the macroec0omic picture, although far from perfect for the company, should enable it to keep posting fairly strong financial

Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) current 10-for-1 stock split has gained investor’s attention because it makes the Nvidia stock more accessible to small investors. Overall, Nvidia’s performance has been awe-inspiring, with an 181.46% upside year-to-date. The company dominates the competition with an 80% market share for AI chips. Still, its stock price is at an all-time high again,

Meme stock madness has returned to Wall Street after a three-year hiatus, with Roaring Kitty (a.k.a. Keith Gill) drawing in massive crowds online with his big bets on GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock. Though Roaring Kitty has since (reportedly) dumped his GME options, he’s still long on the stock big-time, with a huge stake worth anywhere from

Every time a company splits its stock, one of the reasons it gives is that it makes its stock more accessible to smaller investors. Never mind that the advent of fractional shares enables these smaller investors to own a specific amount as low as a dollar for stock split candidates.    Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) announced May 22

High-yield stocks probably won’t yield nearly as much after the Federal Reserve has had the chance to cut interest rates a few times. Undoubtedly, we haven’t had the first rate cut yet, but investors seem optimistic as the Fed finally looks to make a move, perhaps as soon as September. In any case, the high-yield

The space sector saw a tough 2022 due to low investor interest in high-risk sectors and high interest rates affecting borrowing costs. 2023 has already seen a recovery, and 2024 has been hot for the sector, with $6.5 billion in investments in Q1 2024, up 33% from Q4 2023. Now is the time to pay attention to

You could almost feel retail investors celebrating in late May after shares of electric vehicle maker Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (NASDAQ:FFIE) surged from 4 cents to $1.80. The stock briefly became the most researched stock on InvestorPlace.com, and social media sites made it sound as if the only direction FFIE could go was up. Of

The so-called “Magnificent 7” represent a diverse group of U.S.-based technology companies that receive the lion’s share of attention from most investors right now. Whether you’re a growth investor, or a passive investor using index funds, these are the stocks that matter when considering which stocks to buy and sell. Indeed, the majority of the

Artificial intelligence stock SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) is up 117% in 2024. That’s a remarkable performance after the voice recognition specialist grew nearly 20% the year before. Yet most of the gains have nothing to do with SoundHound’s business, but only news that Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) owned a stake in the company. And it was old news

Thanks in part to yesterday’s soft May inflation report, we think the U.S. Federal Reserve is set to cut interest rates by September. In fact, we think the central bank will deliver multiple rate cuts into the end of the year. And if so, tech stocks are likely on the cusp of a massive ‘melt-up’

The Peter Thiel cofounded data analytics firm, Palantir (NYSE:PLTR), has come a long way since its founding in 2003. In the early days, it received crucial funding from the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency’s venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel. Palantir stock has benefitted ever since. With the “war on terrorism” going on, the firm had aimed to

You probably know Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) as a social-media platform. Furthermore, in the wake of a recently established partnership, Reddit has a notable artificial intelligence angle. However, after looking at the company’s bottom-line financial facts, investors shouldn’t load up on Reddit stock until they see some improvement. Remember, Reddit just went public in March of this
