For those hoping to retire young and wealthy, the dividend kings are an excellent class of assets to consider. They are a prestigious group of publicly traded stocks with a record of increasing their dividend payouts every year for the past 50 consecutive years or more. The list of dividend kings is exclusive. The most
Technology equities have largely had a good year in 2024. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has rallied nearly 20% on a year-to-date basis, and secular trends such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing technologies could send technology shares higher in the near term. Even the historical August slump probably will not be enough to stop the
Elections are tricky business and it’s important not to put too much emphasis on polls, especially polls before September. That said, it seems clear that Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump has a less-complicated path to the White House. Basically, conservatives voted decisively for the man. Therefore, investors should at least consider stocks for
Before investing in Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) stock, it is essential to analyze varying viewpoints in order to soundly decide. Oracle is one of the major companies in the cloud computing and software for enterprise markets. The financial performance of Oracle has been good with strong revenues and earnings. It has also paid great attention to the
In April 2024, Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock touched 52-week lows of $8.30. With macroeconomic headwinds, intense competition and significant cash burn, the pessimism seemed to be justified. However, Rivian stock has doubled from these lows and currently trades at ~$16.30. It seems that the EV company is back from the dead and there are fundamental reasons
Well, that was a stunner (though perhaps not entirely unexpected). Over the weekend, President Joe Biden made the tough, but likely necessary decision to step down from his reelection bid. It’s why I’m looking at some of the stocks to sell on that news. There’s still plenty of time for the Democrats to mount an
When your reputation is in tatters, being able to pull your company up out of the ashes takes a Herculean effort. Certainlyit is not easy. As Warren Buffett once said, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you will do things differently.” Some companies apparently never thought about
“The person that turns over the most rocks wins the game,” prominent investor Peter Lynch famously said regarding investing. This basically means that investors need to do a lot of digging and research in order to find quality stocks in which to invest their capital. Clearly, it’s not enough to follow the herd on Wall
Big changes may be over the horizon this November. With the wild election cycle shifting up another gear, it’s never been more important to consider adjusting one’s portfolio. That doesn’t mean investors should make wholesale changes: you never know what may happen next. Still, it makes sense to consider so-called recession-resistant stocks if you haven’t
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is set to report second-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings on July 30th. I expect the chipmaker to post strong results. Wall Street has rewarded the stock due to the explosive growth in artificial intelligence applications and a recovery in the PC market. However, while AMD’s long-term prospects remain bright, I’m taking a
Emerging as one of the best growth and restaurant stocks, Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) continues to gain traction due to its unique menu and in-house operations. In Q1 2024, the company brought in a $2.7 billion revenue. Additionally, the company’s 50-for-1 split also was a key driver of a 21% year-to-date surge in CMG stock
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
On July 11, private equity firm Platinum Equity Advisors announced that it would acquire Héroux-Devtek (OTCMKTS:HERXF), a Quebec-based aerospace firm. The $1.35 billion deal is one of the many Canadian acquisition targets that are or should be on American firms’ buy lists. Why are American firms attracted to Canadian businesses? The reasons include close geometric
After Wednesday’s painful market sell-off, investors seeking value and bountiful dividend stocks may have more of a chance to pounce. Indeed, the broader market indices are fresh off their worst day since 2022. At this juncture, it’s okay to be slightly rattled as you look to reposition ahead of a choppy move into mid- and
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
While the most common current examples of artificial intelligence (AI) are the large language models (LLM) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Copilot, the future of the technology is likely far more multi-faceted than question-and-answer chatbots. Moreover, the current involvement of various tech companies in the development of AI means that some future AI stocks
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
Sometimes, the success of a company can take the stock so high that it pushes investors away. It is due to this reason that the management announces a stock split. While a stock split does not change anything in terms of the fundamentals of the company, it makes it easier for investors to own the stock. 2024 has been the
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published an article in July discussing the “skyrocketing” growth of Atlanta. That’s got me thinking about Atlanta stocks. According to AJC, nearly 63,000 people moved into the 11 counties that make up Atlanta between April 2023 and April 2024. According to Axios reporting, Atlanta had the largest change in population between 2022 and 2023 among U.S. cities with at least 250,000 people.
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
