Stocks to buy

Tough times require tough cost-cutting decisions, including job layoffs. However, to get a company back on the right track, reach profitability, and increase margins, they’re often required. Below are just a few of the top post-layoffs stocks that should flourish, as they get back on the right track. We also have to consider that job

You don’t have to stay on top of the stock market every day to grow your money. Instead, if you just focus on some of the top growth stocks, you can just let your money do all the work for you. Even better, many of these very growth stocks have delivered long-term rewards for shareholders

Oversold stocks are the equivalent of Wall Street’s clearance sale. Many times, stores have too much inventory of certain products that are holding up valuable real estate. They gotta go – and you just might benefit. Of course, you don’t want to buy everything that’s offered simply because it’s on discount. If the clothes on

Under-$5 stocks for new investors are a tricky proposition. On one hand, today’s under-$5 stocks could be some of tomorrow’s stock market giants. As recently as 2013, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) traded in under-$5 territory, and we all know how that turned out. At the same time, plenty of under-$5 stocks are in the stock market’s dustbin.

In the dynamic world of the stock market, the true gems often lie beyond the limelight, where companies quietly shape industries and deliver consistent returns. This narrative showcases these three entities. The first one is on the cusp of innovation, operating in three critical sectors: engineering, specialty health care and information technology services.

Utility stocks are trusted for the long haul for a reason. Commanding permanent relevance, they’re practically impossible to displace. Stated differently, utility stocks benefit from what’s known as a natural monopoly. While would-be rivals are free to compete with these established entities, they also face considerable hurdles. From high startup costs to onerous regulations, it

Penny stocks are Wall Street’s version of the discount dollar store. Most of the stuff you find is absolute junk, let’s be brutally honest here. However, that’s not 100% of the case. Allow me a small personal example. I used to buy can openers from major retailers but they would typically break apart quickly. So,

In the stock market, identifying potential millionaire-making stocks can lead to a situation like finding needles in a haystack. However, under ongoing volatility, three companies have emerged as prime contenders for high returns. Beyond names, these companies hold a strategic edge, rapid growth capabilities, and solid market strategies. The first one stands at the edge

While it’s tempting to jump on a company like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), at some point, it won’t match expectations, which brings us to a discussion about underappreciated tech stocks. They’re nowhere near as enticing as NVDA. However, they could offer superior returns. That might sound like an arrogant if not irrational proposition. But the thing is,

While stock splits don’t necessarily change the valuation of a company’s stock. They do offer some benefits. Namely, they can make a stock more affordable for retail investors. In that way, companies can draw in new shareholders and capital when they split their stock. For existing shareholders, stock splits increase their share count without them

The metaverse has been a costly disaster so far. But don’t write the market or the top metaverse stocks off just yet.  For one, despite a $46.5 billion loss on the metaverse, Meta Platforms’ (NASDAQ:META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg isn’t throwing in the towel. Earlier this year, he told The Verge, “I don’t know how to more unequivocally state

The world of consumer discretionary stocks can be tricky. It is full of highly cyclical businesses that can take a sudden turn in either direction. Often when you least expect it. This is why it is of utmost importance to pick companies that expose you to both the cyclical nature of a discretionary name, and

Steel demand is set to spike, and these top steel stocks are among those best positioned to capitalize on the opportunity—analysts at FitchRatings project steel demand to grow by as much as 30 million global tons. The same analysts expect improved margins across most major steelmaking countries (except China, in this case) and North American

Some fintech disruptors in the stock market are looking to disrupt the future of finance. These companies are leveraging cutting-edge technology to revolutionize how individuals invest, trade, and manage their finances. By harnessing artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms, and more, they should also be at the front of investors’ minds. Investing in these companies not

Thestart of February saw a bit of a deja vu for regional bank stocks, with New York Community Bank (NYSE:NYCB) shares crashing. Capital One (NYSE:COF) also announced plans to merge with Discover Financials (NYSE:DFS), underscoring the continued industry consolidation. However, periods of volatility often create opportunities. Following the acquisition, speculation of further deals involving other

The allure of risk-averse stocks remains as pronounced as ever, given the current headwinds facing the stock market. This volatile environment and economic indicators clouded by uncertainty pave the way for an investment strategy rooted in caution yet poised for growth. Drawing insights from the GuruFocus Screener, I have handpicked a collection of stocks with

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) blew through the trillion-dollar valuation threshold after reporting its best-ever quarterly results. Yet it’s not the first time the social media influencer has attained a $1 trillion market capitalization. This will have big implications for META stock holders. Meta joined the elite club back in 2021 but that was as good as

It seems like forever ago, but it’s only been a year or two since Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) was widely ridiculed on social media for losing market share to its chipmaker rivals. The future looks more promising for Intel today, however. While we’re not currently prepared to give INTC stock an outright “A” grade, we’ll give it a

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) clearly capitalized on the generative AI growth trend during 2023. However, make no mistake, this was anything but a “one and done” event that boosted MSFT stock. Based on the latest headlines, the “Magnificent Seven” component remains poised to level up on last year’s success. This points to Microsoft continuing to deliver top

U.S. inflation rose unexpectedly in January, fueled by surging rental housing costs, putting a damper on imminent interest rate cuts. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) saw a 0.3% increase, with shelter expenses contributing significantly to the jump.
