The extraordinary rise of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) was driven by the emergence of generative AI. This technology hinges on the use of powerful computer chips in which the stock is a market leader.  Last year, the S&P 500 climbed an impressive 24%. However, the outlook for 2024 is a little calmer. Goldman Sachs forecasts a rise

Is hydrogen the energy source of the future? Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) certainly thinks so. The 27-year-old company provides green hydrogen, fuel cell systems, and other related products for its customers. It has also signed deals with two of the most recognized companies in the world: Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Walmart (NYSE:WMT). At the same time, Plug

Everyone might be talking about the stock performance of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) last year but Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) stock blew away the chipmaker. SMCI stock is up 1,200% compared to the measly tripling in value by Nvidia.  The manufacturer of servers, networks, storage solutions, workstations and more optimized for artificial intelligence (AI) has gotten an

It’s been a rough ride for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock lately. It has become the worst year-to-date performer in the S&P 500 index. These developments may discourage some, others may see a buying opportunity. Don’t assume it’s the right time to invest. The factors driving its poor performance are likely to persist in the months ahead.

Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW), which specializes in software for cloud-based data warehousing, was recently overvalued. I tried to warn investors about Snowflake’s trailing price-to-earnings ratio and suggested that SNOW stock was vulnerable to a pullback. That pullback came to pass, but it’s still not the right time to take a share position. Sure, Snowflake as an artificial intelligence

Few stock sectors offer soar-or-sink possibilities like biotechnology stocks do. If you’re in the market for an intriguing biotech pick and can manage high risk, take a look at Actinium Pharmaceuticals (NYSEAMERICAN:ATNM)stock. Actinium Pharmaceuticals develops targeted radiotherapies for refractory cancer cases. By “refractory,” I mean that Actinium Pharmaceuticals focuses on helping patients meaningfully improve their

Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) is a Magnificent Seven or “Mag-7″ member, but GOOG stock hasn’t been the most magnificent performer lately. We’re still assigning the stock a “B” grade, however, as Alphabet can still offer good value to its shareholders. Alphabet’s Google is, of course, a dominator in the U.S. search-engine market. Plus, the

The travel industry has been in a post-pandemic boom, but the wind may be going out of its sails. Online travel agent (OTA) Expedia (NASDAQ:EXPE) surprised the market by announcing it was firing 1,500 employees, or 9% of its workforce, because of sagging demand. The cuts will hit its bottom line by $80 million to

You would think ride-share leader Uber Technologies (NYSE:UBER) was some kind of artificial intelligence stock. Shares are up 26% in 2024, are 61% higher in the last six months and are running 140% above the level they traded at last year. Who needs to gamble on some sketchy AI-adjacent company when you can hitch a

Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock has fallen more than 40% this year and could easily slide further. It has made only about 100,000 electric vehicles so far. Though the company is based in Irvine, California, it has plans to build a $5 billion production facility east of Atlanta. The Atlanta plant aims to produce the R3, a

The cryptocurrency market has taken the world by storm, with the industry bellwether Bitcoin (BTC-USD) soaring by over 157% last year alone. This bullish trend has seamlessly spread to crypto stocks, encompassing businesses dealing in crypto exchanges, mining, and other related areas. These stocks are ticking in the green, mirroring the positive sentiment in the

The market has shown extreme volatility for months due to inflation and recession concerns. Thus, it’s only prudent for investors to look into resilient stocks during any economic situation. One of the stocks to buy and hold that show resilience is Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock. Although AAPL stock saw some volatility to kick off 2024 due

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezon just became the world’s richest person, and people who bought AMZN stock a year ago are also doing quite well now. However, this doesn’t mean Amazon’s shareholders are guaranteed a continued rally. Furthermore, cautious investors should think about Amazon’s valuation. Besides, Amazon’s new artificial intelligence chatbot isn’t perfect, and the company’s

The AI Boom already arrived. That was made abundantly clear last month when the world’s leading maker of AI chips – Nvidia (NVDA) – reported that its revenues grew more than 260% in the last quarter of 2023 and management said that revenues are set to rise another 230% during this quarter.  But, while the

Year-to-date, Nivida (NASDAQ:NVDA) has risen almost 80%. It has helped the Nasdaq and S&P 500 reach new highs, and data shows that NVDA stock has dethroned Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) as the most popular stock traded by retail investors. With AI being the new buzzword thrown around and Nvidia stock price launching like a rocket, many are

The Magnificent 7 stocks have captivated investors over the past few months with their meteoric rise. These heavyweight tech names have propelled much of the market’s gains in recent years. But not all of the Magnificent 7 have delivered equally magnificent returns. While titans like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) continue charging ahead, stocks like

AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) stock is likely to continue to climb over the short-to-medium term as investors become more excited about the chip maker’s considerable opportunities in the artificial intelligence space. Over the longer term, however, threats to the firm’s other businesses, along with the high valuation of AMD stock, are likely to drag down the shares

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) initially focused on serving the defense and intelligence sectors but has since expanded its customer base to include various industries such as healthcare, energy, and finance. PLTR stock provides AI and ML-based data analytics tool for a number of businesses. While Peter Thiel’s company has certainly made impressive strides to improve profitability and

You’re not alone in thinking you missed the Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) rally. The stock just seems to keep going higher with no end in sight. And as shares attain new heights, it is only reasonable to think at some point NVDA stock has to return to earth. And yet every day the never-ending rally never ends.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has emerged as a dominant force in AI chip technology. With a myriad of new technologies requiring ever-more computing power, Nvidia’s high-performance chips stand ready to meet this demand.
