The clock is ticking for Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (NASDAQ:FFIE). The upscale electric vehicle manufacturer faces several important deadlines in the weeks ahead.  It has to get all of its Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) filings submitted by July 31 to come into compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. And then it has to boost its

A string of subpar second-quarter earnings reports is hurting the stock market. The technology-laden Nasdaq index fell 3% (more than 500 points) after the initial financial results from mega-cap tech companies disappointed. However, the poor results are by no means limited to technology concerns. Restaurants, airlines, healthcare companies and some financial institutions have delivered earnings

When most people think of index funds, they gravitate toward the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite. It’s no surprise that these benchmarks receive the most attention. They have delivered solid historical returns and are filled with recognizable corporations like the Magnificent Seven. Those two indices also attract many investors because many of the alternatives

Most companies have some debt, often accumulated during the low-interest rate environment from 2009 to 2021. Firms that are profitable may view debt positively, as a way to fund acquisitions, dividends and buybacks, making it easier for them to manage with relatively low carrying costs. However, for less profitable companies with high debt loads and

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump recently unveiled his pick for vice president. At 39 years old, Ohio Senator JD Vance is a fresh face in Washington D.C. Despite being one of the most prominent millennial generation politicians out there, however, Vance holds surprisingly anti-electric vehicle sentiments. In fact, Vance has suggested the EV proponents are

Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock has witnessed some wild moves since listing in September 2018. It was during the meme euphoria of 2021 that the stock touched highs of $62. There has been a sustained correction from those levels and Nio stock trades at $4.30 after a drop of 60% in the last 12 months. I believe

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) is riding a wave of anticipation that it may have finally turned the corner. After a second-quarter deliveries update, Lucid stock hit a level not seen since last December. Two weeks ahead of the luxury electric vehicle manufacturer’s second-quarter earnings report, investors are hoping Lucid found the right combination of production, price

Rising global geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East and Eastern Europe and rising tensions in Southeast Asia create the perfect conditions for defense stocks to soar. The companies behind these stocks often see an uptick in orders for equipment and services.  Despite the perfect conditions for defense stocks to thrive in 2024, the S&P Aerospace

The creation of social media has completely changed the way people live. People can text, call, and even Facetime friends and families from the other side of the world within a second. The power of social media apps is growing by the day. As a result, social media stocks are now some of the best

Thematic investing, such as allocating gaming stocks, is an excellent way to tap into concentrated systematic returns, allowing for excess return potential. Moreover, the gaming industry is forecasted to grow by 10.17% until 2029, consolidating its excess return prospects. Considering the above, I decided to look for three stellar gaming stocks that might double in

Everyone’s definition of “consumer stocks” is different.  Strictly speaking, I would say that companies operating in the consumer discretionary sector are the best examples of consumer stocks. However, others in the industry might suggest that consumer staples companies are also to be included in the larger group of constituents that are consumer stocks. When selecting

This has been a bad year for clean energy stocks. It has destroyed many investors’ hopes of a shift to green energy worldwide. Interest rates remain high, pushing investors to look for better returns in other segments. As a result, clean energy is having a difficult time finding relevance to investors.  While clean energy still

There’s a rotation going on the stock market. The magnificent seven tech stocks and various AI names have started to dip in recent weeks. Meanwhile, long-forgotten smaller-capitalization and value stocks have begun to rally. This shift in the market forces has reinvigorated a great number of meme stocks, with many names posting sharp rallies in

As the market hits new peaks, it’s easy to get swept up in the euphoria that surrounds blue-chip stocks. These bastions of the financial world are often seen as safe havens, reliable performers with a proven track record. However, not all blue-chips are created equal, and some are facing headwinds that could lead to a

The U.S. equities rally seems to be fizzling out. Over the past five days, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has tumbled 4.3%, while the S&P500 has fallen by a smaller 2.4%. Anyone familiar with historical market movements would understand that, towards the end of July and into August, U.S. equities typically post a string of losses.

The recent rotation out of tech stocks has only made the decline in some names worse. Already battered and bruised, many of the most disliked tech stocks have fallen sharply since the beginning of July as investors shift capital into value stocks and small-cap securities. This has worsened an already bad situation. Even before the

Tesla‘s (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares suffered severe losses in the first quarter and much of the second before rallying in recent weeks. Investors became more bullish about Tesla stock in hopes that the company would be able to pull off a Q2 earnings beat and show improved profitability. But the earnings report on July 23 contained more

Many investors flock to high-yield dividend stocks because they offer a simple premise. You can put your money into a stock and generate high cash flow that gets treated more favorably when it’s time to file taxes. Some high-yield stocks have higher rates than high-yield savings accounts, but high-yield doesn’t mean that a stock presents

While we’re eagerly waiting for an interest rate cut, one must remember that there is no certainty when it comes to government decisions. Several factors come into play, and the policymakers will not announce a rate cut until they are certain about the inflation level. If a rate cut happens, the economy will improve and we

With the odds of former President Donald Trump winning November’s election rather high, I’m much more upbeat on the outlook of Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) and Palantir stock than I have been in recent years. However, given the huge valuation of the shares and the Street’s mixed views on the name, I remain cautious nonetheless. Trump’s
