SoundHound AI stock (NASDAQ:SOUN) has courted controversy since the company went public in the year 2022. SOUN has not been without some troubles, with some short sellers claiming the business has “fake revenue, fake bookings, and fake AI”.  Furthermore, being one of the first companies that offered purely voice AI solutions, SoundHound is now among

Occasionally, hot stocks can get that much hotter in a move that can only be described as a “melt-up.” Such extreme share price action can be like the reverse of a stock meltdown, whereby a stock crashes rapidly, like in late February 2020. Indeed, stock melt-ups and meltdowns tend to catch many off-guard. And while

Artificial intelligence has been the primary force behind the gains made by the Nasdaq exchange in 2024. While the S&P 500 had risen 16% by July 4, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was only 4% higher, the Nasdaq 100 soared 20% for the year. This was before stock traders began cycling away from growth

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock is finally in the grip of the AI fever. The iPhone maker traded at 52-week lows of $164 mid-April. In three months, Apple stock surged by 35% and trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 30.3. I believe that valuations are stretched, considering the company’s revenue and earnings growth trajectory. A correction

Meme stocks, fueled by social media hype, can soar or crash rapidly. While some see potential for explosive gains, others pose a high risk. So, how to navigate this wild ride? Hot companies with strong fundamentals and a clear growth path might be worth a closer look, even if they have meme stock buzz.  On

I love Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM). Based in San Diego, Qualcomm develops and commercializes a range of foundational technologies for the wireless industry. With mobile connectivity becoming an increasingly vital concept, the company’s specialized semiconductor products command tremendous prominence. However, as great as Qualcomm stock is, the market is the ultimate arbiter. Right now, the market is

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) stocks are gaining traction as the cloud computing revolution reshapes the way businesses operate. Leading this transformative wave, SaaS companies offer subscription-based access to essential applications and services. This model provides numerous advantages for businesses, including scalability, cost-efficiency, and automatic updates. As more companies migrate their operations to the cloud, the demand for

CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD) stock was cratering after being discovered responsible for a disastrous technology outage that grounded flights and disrupted financial systems around the world. The extent of the damage from the worldwide information technology outage on July 19 is still being assessed. However, the hit to CrowdStrike’s reputation and stock have been immediate. On

Over the last few trading sessions, SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) fell by more than 12% from $6.20 a share to $5.49. For those who don’t follow SoundHound AI stock, the company makes AI voice assistants that can be used on everything from the phone in your hotel room to the drive-through at a fast-food restaurant. Its

Contrarian investing is hard. It is difficult to go against the crowd. Stocks at 52-week lows are companies the stock market harshly rejects. By diving into the shallow end of the pool, it requires fortitude to believe conventional wisdom is wrong about a company. The market is saying the business is failing and has little

Investors are always on the hunt for the next big thing. Much like the internet revolution and the current AI boom, savvy investors look to get in early on the ground floor of the next world-changing trend. I believe a few under-the-radar companies have the ambition and growth potential to possibly be those next breakout

The S&P 500 has continues to edge higher. A softer-than-expected inflation report for June fueled hopes that the Federal Reserve will start cutting rates in September. Several major investment advisory firms sifted their forecasts for Fed rate cuts and stock downgrades. The CPI report showed only a slight 0.06% increase in core inflation, excluding food

Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is an unassailable juggernaut – or, maybe not. After Tesla stock’s recent rally, it might feel as if the company is invincible and the stock is unstoppable. However, that’s a dangerous mindset and an ill-considered Tesla investment could put your portfolio at risk. Besides, there’s a key event coming up very soon

Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) investors are pretty happy these days. The Peter Thiel-founded data analytics firm has seen its share price rally nearly 68% since the start of the current year. There are multiple catalysts keeping Palantir’s shares surging. However, investors should tread carefully going forward. Not only is PLTR’s valuation way too high, but people may

With many expecting Trump to win the election in November, his economic policies could significantly impact stock prices. For one, Trump’s proposed corporate tax rate cut from 21% to 15% would immediately increase Amazon’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) earnings. There are, however, a few negatives including tariffs, immigration policies and the already weakened consumer demand that bode poorly

Congress has an uncanny knack for making remarkably well-timed stock trades. They pinky swear they are not buying and selling stock based on insider information culled from their regulation of the companies. Yet the politicians tend to dramatically outperform the S&P 500. One of the best at this is former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Her

One of the most well-known Chinese EV makers in the market, Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock is a name I’ve been bullish on in the past. Indeed, we’re all aware that the EV market is going to grow, and China has led the way. One might think that this pure-play BEV maker based out of China should

It’s one of the most divisive social-media companies in the U.S. Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ:DJT), typically shortened to Trump Media, is certainly controversial. However, if you’re willing to keep an open mind and focus on the profit potential, there just might be a worthy buying opportunity with Trump Media stock. That said, it’s important to

While the Magnificent 7 stocks were seemingly all that anyone talked about last year, they have been pretty quiet in 2024. And yet, they still impact the performance of the S&P 500 even more so than they did last year. According to a CNBC analysis, the group of stocks comprising the Magnificent 7 makes up

With the announcement of Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) new approach to artificial intelligence (AI) called Apple Intelligence, three of the biggest cloud computing stocks are about to reach the next level of consumer exposure. That’s because Apple is now moving toward offering on-device, artificial intelligence through a partnership with OpenAI for its ChatGPT platform. While the AI
