After two major meme-stock-driven gains in May and June, GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock has mostly been on the down and out. Having gained 48% year-to-date, it’s hard to call the 2024 performance of GameStop stock a disaster. This time last year, it traded slightly lower than today.  Keith Gill, the man behind the “Roaring Kitty” persona,

Excuse me while I ask a crazy question: Are AI glasses the future of AI? I think they could be. Earlier this week, smart glasses maker Solos announced a partnership with OpenAI to integrate the new ChatGPT-4o AI model into a pair of “AI glasses” set to launch later this year. Sounds crazy. I know.

Stock spinoffs typically don’t do well initially. Unloved by shareholders of the former parent company, often misunderstood by the market and sometimes laden with debt or other baggage the parent no longer wanted to carry, spinoff stocks can take time to find their footing. Yet such strategic investments represent an opportunity for savvy investors. If

Following analyst upgrades, downgrades or initiating coverage reports can be exhausting. Wall Street is constantly raising, lowering or reiterating their position on a stock, sometimes changing a price target by just a few cents or dollars.  Yet knowing where analysts think a stock is headed can still be useful. After all, they do have access

At first glance, it seems reasonable to expect Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock to rally this year since it manufactures AI chips like the ARC A770, A750, and A580 lineups priced at an attractive range. However, the stock is down 38% year-to-date in a year that tech stocks are rallying. Intel’s valuation is still high despite U.S.

You may be wondering whether it’s time to “buy the dip” with Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD). Put simply, we believe that there’s little reason to rush into an Advanced Micro Devices stock position. Although shares in the chip designer are currently finding support, another big reversal may be just around the corner. It all has

Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI), a provider of artificial intelligence server infrastructure, became the market’s new shiny metal object in 2024. There are reasons to like Super Micro Computer, including an agreement to manufacture hardware for a well-known billionaire. However, it’s problematic that Super Micro Computer stock is expensive and susceptible to a sustained pullback. It’s

A recent article appeared in Adweek highlighting the success both Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) are having with their ad-supported streaming products. That got me thinking about the consumer stocks that have supported the two companies and revenue growth from increased advertising.  “Broadly speaking, we are going to see some more pronounced lift given

The electric vehicle industry is in turmoil. On the one hand, EV sales are booming with volumes expected to rise 21% this year. Still, the rate of growth is declining. Fewer new car buyers are electing to choose EVs when purchasing a vehicle.  Pricing is certainly still an issue facing EV stocks but it is

Stock splits are popular once again. In June, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) split its stock on a 10-for-1 basis and Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) executed a 50-for-1 split, the first in the restaurant chain’s history. Even Walmart (NYSE:WMT) split its stock on a 3-for-1 basis earlier this year. Other companies that have announced upcoming stock splits include

Currently, ByteDance’s TikTok divestment fiasco is still in limbo. After President Joe Biden signed legislation to force TikTok to either divest or face a ban in the United States, ByteDance filed a lawsuit alleging violation of the freedom of speech.  Originally, the deadline for the sale was put around January 2025, however, the presence of

Finding hot stocks for a market rally is essential to increasing investment profits. Knowing which stocks to buy may greatly influence investor confidence and portfolio success. These three exceptional businesses have the potential to expand their market share in the IT industry significantly.

Social media is a fast growing market that Goldman Sachs expects to double to $480 billion by 2027. To take advantage of this trend, many invest in the obvious social media stocks like Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) or Meta (NASDAQ:META). However, these companies are trading at all-time highs and there is no way to know if

If you’re reluctant to invest in PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL), that’s understandable. It’s difficult for PayPal to protect its market share in the crowded and highly competitive fintech space. However, a moderately sized portfolio position in PayPal stock could still offer excellent returns over the long term. My previous analysis of PayPal suggested the share price will easily reach $90.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has become the face of artificial intelligence and its stock has responded in kind. Shares are up 200% over the past year and over 800% since the release of ChatGPT, which sparked an AI tsunami. Yet there is a world of stocks that are outperforming Nvidia. While the technology sector provides opportunity with

Known for her appetite for relatively risky tech-based stocks, Cathie Wood has become an icon on Wall Street. The founder of ARK Investment Management, Wood has accumulated a net worth of $220 million and built a reputation owing to her knack for identifying high-potential innovation-focused stocks.  Wood was recognized as Wall Street’s best stock picker

Prospects for interest rate cuts are fueling speculations about which small-cap stocks will be winners when they hit. Because smaller companies don’t have the same financial access as larger stocks, they are forced to borrow money at higher cost, which impacts their ability to grow. More often than not, they will hunker down instead of

CNBC’s Jim Cramer was asked about SoFi Technologies (NYSE:SOFI) in a mid-June episode of Mad Money. The veteran investor said he’d have to wait on SOFI stock.  “Right now, that last quarter was not great. I just didn’t like it. And I’m going to have to wait,” Benzinga reported Cramer’s comments on June 17.  I

Following last night’s presidential debate, President Joe Biden has just a 19% chance of reelection. Betting odds show that former President Donald Trump has pulled far ahead. Here’s where things get interesting. It appears that no sector has been more sensitive to which party has presidential power than technology. If, over the next few months,

Data analytics firm Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) is on a long slide lower. Although it impressively beat analyst expectations by a wide margin, guidance indicated a coming slowdown and profits are still nowhere in sight. As a result, the market is selling off Snowflake stock. Shares are down 35% year-to-date but 46% below its February high. A
