Stocks to buy

While the technology sector has produced astounding winners this year – particularly in the field of artificial intelligence – it’s also true that not everybody won, which segues into tech stocks to buy on the dip. Yes, certain circumstances warrant a correction in once-hot entities. However, for some ideas, the red ink may have gone

If you’re a value investor looking for great businesses with cheap valuations, look no further than the banking sector in the United States. In early spring, the sector had been hit hard by a wave of awe-inducing bank failures. In particular, the sequential collapses of Signature Bank, Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank triggered

Growth investing can lead to considerable gains in the stock market. Indeed, research has shown that revenue growth best predicts a stock’s long-term returns. There are many growth stocks to buy today that have secular growth trends underpinning their growth trajectory. However, finding profitable growth stocks is always a challenge. Most growth stocks exhibit solid top-line growth

China’s economy has been struggling recently. After a tumultuous period battling the Covid-19 pandemic, the government abruptly abandoned its zero-Covid policy in December 2022 and reoriented the economy towards reopening. Unfortunately, China’s rebound has largely underperformed expectations. There’s been a pullback in consumer spending and bank lending. Chinese exports have also sputtered, but this is

In recent years, the Metaverse has rapidly emerged as a transformative digital frontier reshaping human interaction, work and entertainment. To grasp the Metaverse concept, one must comprehend it as a 3D virtual space that fuses augmented reality, virtual reality and the internet. This blending of physical and digital elements facilitates seamless immersion and interaction, establishing

Despite the looming threat of a recession over the past year, the recession hasn’t taken effect. Some experts are predicting that it will never arrive, including the Federal Reserve. On July 26th, the Federal Reserve stated that they are “no longer forecasting a recession,” which spells good news for stocks. Many predict a ‘soft landing’

There’s a reasonable argument to be made that investors should load up on blue-chip stocks regularly. After all, large and well-established firms with long track records of success are likely to continue to be successful. Growth in blue-chip companies may be lower than it is in the tech sector but safety and lower volatility arguably

If you’re an investor constantly on the hunt for promising opportunities, you may see clear bargains emerging in robotics stocks. With valuations depressed, I believe savvy investors can position themselves for big gains when this high-growth sector bounces back. In the current environment, robotics stocks have remained depressed for a couple reasons. First, the broader

With economies rebounding post-pandemic, renewed consumer spending has taken flight. People are again heeding their wanderlust, given the relaxation of travel restrictions. Unsurprisingly, this burgeoning desire to explore has been an incredible tailwind for travel and airline stocks, with investors searching for the top undervalued airline stocks. Amid the vast sky of opportunities, pinpointing undervalued

Penny stocks are often defined as stocks trading under $5 per share, those with a very low price per share or market capitalization, and are generally higher-risk. Now, despite many such stocks certainly carrying a relatively high risk profile, this often is somewhat offset by higher potential returns. While many penny stocks lack fundamentals or

As always, there have been hits and misses in the last earnings season. Irrespective of long-term fundamentals, markets tend to react to quarterly results. For medium-term investors, the results provide an opportunity for quick gains by trading in stocks that have delivered positive surprises. There are also cases where the rally is on the back

Some of the most attractive opportunities are the top dividend kings, all of which have raised their payout for 50+ years. Even in times of economic disarray, inflation, booms, busts, rising interest rates, recessions, and crashes, they’ve still raised their dividends. If they can survive all of that, and still raise their payouts, these top

When pinpointing undervalued auto stocks, many investors’ minds race straight to the iconic giants of the industry. Yet, as electric vehicle (EV) makers charge into the arena, we’re reminded that every automaker, whether a legacy brand or an upstart, can offer genuine investment merits. Moreover, with a staggering 79.4 million units in global auto sales

Earlier this year, I called out three stocks as potential short-squeeze opportunities. Among these picks, Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) and Upstart (NASDAQ:UPST) have delivered multi-bagger gains since. The third stock, Luminar Technologies (NASDAQ:LAZR), hasn’t been as impressive. However, it’s still up 7% since that piece. Will I be able to repeat these gains? It’s getting increasingly difficult to

With the boom in AI stocks cooling off, investors looking for other breakout sectors have their work cut out for them. I would argue that such investors should look into specific robotics stocks poised for their own breakout. Some may put AI and robotics in the same category, but they are very different. Most popular

I saw an article from Seeking Alpha at the beginning of August that ranked all the Dividend Aristocrats by total return potential. In addition to the top Dividend Aristocrats, it also ranked Dividend Champions and Dividend Kings. Dividend investors certainly would have been attracted to such an article. In total, 133 stocks were ranked by

Fed Governor Michelle Bowman, a senior Federal Reserve official, recently warned of multiple additional rate hikes needed to address inflation. Bowman noted in Atlanta that inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target due to a job market with more openings than available workers. Analysts predict at least one more interest rate hike in 2023 or

Maryland-headquartered IonQ (NYSE:IONQ) is one of those companies that’s under the radar today but could be famous very soon. Folks who understand what the future of computing will look like and would like to profit from this should definitely take a closer look at IONQ stock. You’ve already heard about the revolution in artificial intelligence. But

Any investor wanting outsized returns should look at growth stocks. While value stocks are perfectly fine for a long-term portfolio, growth stocks are the ticket for investors with a shorter time horizon and looking for dynamic returns. Growth stocks are best described as stocks in a company that’s demonstrated the ability to achieve above-average revenue

Second quarter earnings were a lot better than the first quarter. Inflation is beginning to show signs of cooling. And with the economy showing signs of improvement, companies are reporting stronger financials. Also, while there are a few growth stocks worth adding to your portfolio, which we’ll take a look at. Others should be tossed, some
