Battery stocks are becoming more prominent as electric vehicles become a mainstay. The industry is set to achieve a compounded annual growth rate of 10.07% from now until 2028. According to the International Energy Agency, demand for electric cars is booming. The agency predicts EV sales will jump by 35% this year. When most investors
Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) is a speculative aviation stock that holds a $1.78 billion market cap, ranking 70th in the Aerospace & Defense sector. That’s relatively impressive, considering the company provides investors with negative earnings, zero revenue, and no profit margin. Of course, with plenty of speculative upside, the question is whether Archer Aviation has what
For more than a year, a planned merger deal has been a big factor driving price action for shares in VMware (NYSE:VMW). As you may recall, back in May 2022, Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) announced plans to acquire all outstanding shares of VMW stock. Required regulatory reviews have delayed the merger, as the transaction could give Broadcom
Plenty of “hot stocks” from the 2020/2021 runaway bull market have bounced back in a big way so far in 2023, but few have done it to the extent Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) has year-to-date. As you may recall, at one point CVNA stock was changing hands for as little as $3.55 per share last December. Since
Short squeeze stocks can provide particular opportunities no matter what the market is doing. The market has declined in August as traders have taken some profits after a strong first half to the year.

After all, using multiple criteria — including analyzing fundamentals, checking charts, and identifying macro trends — should increase one’s chances of success. One method that I will often use
Initial public offering (IPO) is the stock issuance process onto the public market. There are a few different methods by which a company will first become listed on a stock exchange.

Under the ongoing uncertainties in the global market, a trio of Chinese tech giants have lost significant value. This article lists the three stocks that, once titans of innovation and market dominance, face adversity. Yet, amidst the chaos, these giants have quietly laid the groundwork for a phoenix-like resurgence. The first one, a commerce behemoth,
There’s increasing talk about a potential market crash. Several commentators have drawn parallels between 2023 and 1987 in that both years began with a massive run-up in stocks even while underlying fundamentals were fairly flimsy. The run in 1987 culminated in a historic market crash on October 19th of that year. Will history repeat? Maybe
Warren Buffett likes to say that you only need to be right about one or two stocks to succeed as an investor. This helps to explain why the Oracle of Omaha’s portfolio is concentrated in only a handful of stocks. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Buffett’s biggest position, accounts for nearly half (46%) of his $354 billion investment
Weakness will often lead to opportunity. In fact, weakness is how some of the most well-known investors made their fortunes. For example, Warren Buffett still tells folks “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” Sir John Templeton taught us to buy excessive pessimism. Even Baron Rothschild once told investors, “The time to
As the wheels of the electric vehicle (EV) industry continue to spin at breakneck speed, many analysts and investors have been caught up in the electrifying whirlwind of optimism. But is the industry truly driving towards a sustainable future, or is it merely coasting on the momentum of passing hype? Beneath the surface-level excitement, underlying
I’m not sure these three battery stocks are the only ones to consider this month, but I do believe they are strong choices for investors. The growth of the electric vehicle (EV) industry has galvanized capital inflows into the space as EV sales have reached a critical mass. That truth is polarizing, but it means

Eight months into 2023, and we’re finally seeing the technology sector booming! The industry has surprised investors with the hype around Artificial Intelligence (AI). With inflation cooling and the economy improving, we are finally moving in the right direction. The industry suffered miserably in 2022, but with AI, several tech stocks have rallied. If you’re
Blue-chip dividend stocks are a must-have for the core portfolio. These stocks represent companies with stable cash flows and have a low beta. Of course, even the best dividend aristocrats don’t have a yield over 10%. To be realistic, a yield of 4% to 5% is robust for a blue chip. However, for dividend investors,
Diving into the world of stocks, one might overlook steady performers in favor of flashier sectors. However, for those with a keen eye, promising utility stocks shimmer with potential in the vast landscape of equity investments. Utilities consistently serve homes and businesses, ensuring a flow of electricity, natural gas and water. These mammoth entities are
Sometimes, it’s fine to take risks with small amounts of investable capital. Yet, I don’t recommend betting your hard-earned money on electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID). Despite Lucid Group’s best efforts to compete with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other EV-industry rivals, LCID stock is destined to lose value in the long run. As we’ll discover in
Time and again, the skeptics and short-sellers have been wrong about Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock. After proving itself as the American king of artificial intelligence (AI) chips, Nvidia demonstrated its ability to outdo Wall Street’s expectations with the company’s stellar second-quarter fiscal 2024 results. I’ll admit that I chose not to recommend investing in Nvidia prior to
