Stocks to buy

If Warren Buffett was your financial advisor, he might steer you toward reliable blue-chip investments, not wildly speculative stocks to buy now. Put another way, you’re probably not going to find these enterprises listed among the holdings of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-B). However, BRK-B lacks the upside potential that these less-recognized enterprises deliver. To be sure,

In the last decade, few companies have touched the magic trillion-dollar valuation. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ: GOOGL) are the names worth mentioning. While these businesses will continue to create value, I am more interested in finding the next trillion-dollar companies. An interesting point to note is that most of the trillion-dollar

Electric vehicle stocks have emerged as one of the most sought-after investments. Furthermore, in the coming years, industry-leading EV companies are poised to dominate the auto market. In fact, the sector is expected to grow by a staggering $917 billion globally by 2028, boasting a compound annual growth rate of 20.6%. Therefore, the growth potential for

Ranking among the most speculative practices in the equities arena, deliberately bidding up short-interest stocks may generate wildly robust gains. At the same time, higher risks for the intrepid market participant also signifies substantial risks. Fundamentally, triggering emotions of panic undergird short-squeeze stocks. When bearish traders “attack” a security, they aim to profit from their

Streaming stocks have not had a very good run lately. For a while, many of these stocks were screaming higher as the companies continued to add tens of millions of new subs. Now though, this group has fallen on hard times. It’s got many investors looking at this group as high-reward stocks. Here’s the problem.

There are still bargains to be found in the stock market. While the major indices are up on the year, the current rally has been uneven and largely driven by technology stocks. Many other sectors, from banks to retailers, are lagging behind. Quality companies with strong brands are seeing their share prices languish at or

While the traditional approach to market success calls for patiently investing in reliable blue chips, those that want to see more immediate gains may consider small-cap stocks to buy. Here, the point is about accepting massive risk to hopefully realize massive rewards. At the same time, these lower-volume enterprises can be volatile, making this category

One of the key advantages of dividend stocks is their potential to enhance total returns. While stock prices can be volatile, dividends provide a consistent income stream that can help offset market fluctuations. According to Hartford Funds research, dividends have historically contributed a significant portion of total returns for long-term investors.   So, what should you

Snap (NYSE:SNAP) stock is down and out. Shares have sunk 12% over the past month and many on Wall Street have largely given up on the name. But I believe that SNAP has what it takes to make a fantastic, huge comeback. Here are four reasons why I believe that buying SNAP on weakness now

Did you ever consider Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock as way to gain exposure to the red-hot field of artificial intelligence (AI)? If not, then now’s the time to take a closer look at Meta Platforms. The company is shoring up its tech team with machine-learning experts, so don’t be too shocked if Meta suddenly emerges as

Suffice it to say, electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) hasn’t received a lot of love on Wall Street. Yet, after a prolonged drawdown, MULN stock’s comeback could be right around the corner. Mullen Automotive is making progress operationally and is at least showing some improvement on the financial front. It’s no secret that

Lithium demand – and related lithium stocks could go into overdrive, especially with electric vehicle sales set to accelerate.  According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), “Global sales of electric cars are set to surge to yet another record this year, expanding their share of the overall car market to close to one-fifth.” In addition,

Green hydrogen is arguably one of the cleanest energy sources and has sparked interest in buying hydrogen stocks. As the world pushes towards net zero, wagering on hydrogen could be one of the most lucrative opportunities for long-term investors. Currently, hydrogen represents a meager 0.1% of the global energy mix. However, to achieve net zero within

Retail stocks haven’t been lighting the world on fire lately. The SPDR S&P Retail Exchange-Traded Fund (NYSEARCA:XRT) that tracks the sector is flat on the year (down 0.30% since January). Investors and traders seem to be taking a “wait-and-see” approach to retail stocks as the U.S. economy and consumer spending slow in the wake of

Growth stocks were hot earlier this year, and some growth names are still relatively hot, as they have delivered much better Q1 year-over-year earnings growth metrics compared to 2022. However, I’d argue that most growth names are currently trading near a fair valuation right now, with some growth names like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) trading at very

Investing is a tug-of-war between bullish and bearish sentiment. Near-term price swings provide long-term investors with great entry points to pick up unfairly beaten-down stocks. Accordingly, astute investors will spend more time focusing on stocks that have traded at undervalued levels for longer than they should. Investors shopping for sold-off stocks overdue for a relief

Semiconductor stocks are gaining importance as the technology is increasingly significant in everyday life. They’re in almost all advanced electronics, from your car to your smart refrigerator. But semiconductors also play an essential role in the growth of artificial intelligence technology. If you’re convinced, as I am, that the development of AI will change the

Everyone seems to be talking about semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI) and mega-cap tech. However, no one seems to be talking about healthcare stocks to buy. That said, I get it. Semiconductor stocks and AI stocks are the exciting plays in the market, while mega-cap tech is powering the S&P 500 higher. In fact, just a

Although recent headwinds like stubbornly high inflation and the banking sector crisis knocked the wind out of several publicly traded enterprises, a select number of hardened survivors potentially represent growth stocks to buy now. Using Gurufocus, all the companies below feature (on a per-share basis) five-year and ten-year growth rates of 20% and 15%, respectively.
