Stocks to sell

Blue-chip stocks are household names that have been around for many years. While most blue-chip stocks have been around for decades, some of them have been in business for more than 100 years. Seniority usually results in more market share and makes it more difficult for competitors to enter the industry, especially when monopolies and

It’s been a very challenging month for cybersecurity stocks, to say the least. Despite projections that the cybersecurity market will grow to $562.72 billion by 2032, the industry is currently experiencing some turbulent times. On July 19, 2024, CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD), one of the major cybersecurity players in the industry, rolled out a faulty update

In general, I’m quite bullish on the healthcare sector. Many of the names in the space have extremely low valuations because a high percentage of investors irrationally believed that healthcare companies could never perform well when interest rates were high. What’s more, a multitude of firms within the sector should be helped by lower interest

As tech stocks find support after the sector’s recent slump, the latest Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) tumble has ended. Tesla stock is now holding steady at around $230 per share. So, is it time to “buy the dip?” Not so fast. Who’s to say that the dust has finally started to settle? Yes, “Robotaxi Day” and other

Index funds that follow popular benchmarks like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite have delivered impressive returns for long-term investors. However, the Russell 2000 is a different story. To be fair, this index hasn’t exactly lost money. It’s up by 12% year-to-date due to a July rally bringing it up from breakeven. However, the

Investors are getting excited about the changing monetary policy outlook. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell recently signaled that interest rate cuts are likely coming as soon as September. In theory, this could be great news for industrial companies. But we shouldn’t lose sight of why the Fed is starting to pivot on its monetary policy. Now

Things are getting difficult for technology stocks. The rotation of investor capital out of the mega-cap tech names that led the market rally in the year’s first half is accelerating. Now, disappointing earnings reports from several high-profile technology concerns are exacerbating the selloff, highlighting tech stocks to sell. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) just released its second-quarter print

Recent movie news bodes well for AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock as it reports earnings on Aug. 2. Although it released preliminary results last week, this could be a case of “buy the rumor, sell the news.” Disney (NYSE:DIS) has three certified movie hits on its hands. Inside Out 2, Despicable Me 4 and now Deadpool

Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) made a relatively successful stock trade in 2024. Toward the middle of June, Qualcomm’s shares rose as much as 58.5% for the year. A sustained technology sector rally, as well as the inroads the semiconductor firm has made in artificial intelligence, were just a couple of the reasons QCOM has enjoyed a healthy

Nasdaq is one of the world’s most active stock exchanges. The exchange takes pride in only allowing companies that meet its stringent requirements, including an aggregate earning of $11 million over the last three years and no net loss. Further, companies pay less to get listed on the Nasdaq than on the NYSE, making it

S&P 500, the U.S. stock market benchmark index, has been undergoing a correction phase recently, accompanied by several stock downgrades. According to Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), the stock market is expected to face an additional 2% downside risk based on the current technical levels and market conditions. The S&P 500 is hovering around its 50-day moving

Artificial intelligence is all the rage these days, there’s no arguing that point. As research cited by Bloomberg pointed out, the field of generative AI could become a $1.3 trillion market by 2032. I don’t generally use Wikipedia as a source. Roughly speaking, though, a valuation of over $1 trillion would put you into the

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the hottest stocks of the past year, riding high on the artificial intelligence hype cycle. However, the chipmaker’s shares lost their luster in recent weeks, plunging 15% from its peak in June. This pullback occurred even without Nvidia posting any concerning financial results. As a semiconductor company, Nvidia stock is

On July 24, the stock market showed its first signs of instability this year. The Nasdaq composite dipped 3.6% in one day due to a broad selloff of the tech industry. This type of investor behavior was likely due to some form of institutional, advanced knowledge or realization that the broader stock market and tech

Analysts typically issue price ratings in response to a company’s earnings reports. So, what’s significant about stocks with lowered price targets? Sometimes a little and sometimes a lot. As is the case with many things, the reason for the downgrade is significant. Earnings season gives investors a progress report, of sorts, on publicly traded companies.

According to Goldman Sachs, investors are bullish on artificial intelligence in the long term, with over $1 trillion in spending projected by tech and utility firms. BlackRock researchers compared AI’s impact to the Industrial Revolution. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), leading the AI revolution, saw a 175% stock increase in 12 months. Tech and communication companies investing heavily

Sometimes, the best thing an investor can do to protect their portfolio is to sell an overpriced stock. Knowing which dividend stocks to sell is just as important as knowing which ones to buy. Holding onto overpriced or risky investments can drag down your overall returns in the long run. It’s important to be proactive

After the mass IT outage caused by a CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) update earlier this month, the cybersecurity company is facing major risks on multiple fronts. Moreover, the valuation of CrowdStrike stock remains very high. Also importantly, the firm does have multiple, strong competitors. While CrowdStrike stock could very well recover in the long term, I believe

Over the past month, Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) shares have experienced roller coaster price action. In mid-July, Plug Power stock briefly entered rebound mode. At the time, renewed hopes for a possible “Fed pivot” on interest rates later this year sent PLUG and other renewable energy stocks higher. However, not too long after this short-lived rally,

GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock is up 64% in the past six months. But just try finding timely information about the company. GameStop stock has just two analysts covering it. Yet it has an average daily volume of over 14 million shares. That’s seven million shares per analyst. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has an average daily volume of 261
