Investors seeking reliable AI-powered returns should consider robotics stocks. Many companies are leveraging artificial intelligence to create human-like robots. As discomforting as that truth may be to some, the economic potential therein is massive. The numbers behind the opportunity are staggering. Between 2023 and 2030 the artificial intelligence robots market could grow at a compound annual
One of the biggest mistakes an investor can make during earnings season is assuming that just because a stock went down, the company reported bad quarterly numbers. That isn’t always the case. Just consider: Arm Holdings (ARM). The AI chip designer reported quarterly earnings last night. And ARM stock dropped in response. Obviously, that’s because
The materials sector, which encompasses companies producing raw materials and basic resources, has recently been on a rollercoaster ride. While the sector benefited from the post-pandemic economic recovery and increased demand for commodities, the tides have started to turn for these materials stocks to sell.

In the late 1970s, Louis Navellier – then a college student, now a senior analyst at InvestorPlace – accidentally beat the market. By running financial data through a Wells Fargo mainframe computer (an enormous privilege at the time!), he came across a model that beat the S&P 500 by a considerable margin. Since then, he’s
It may seem counterintuitive to invest in undervalued airline stocks now. The recent economic reports have stoked fears the U.S. may be heading toward a crippling stagflation scenario. Inflation remains sticky, while the recent GDP data indicates a substantial economic slowdown. However, Mr. Market’s biggest nemesis in Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell feels we’re probably getting ahead of ourselves
Since the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 have gained 6% and 10% year-to-date, now is the time to buy undervalued stocks under $20. Investors are anticipating three rate cuts from a now dovish Federal Reserve, and even though GDP growth slowed down in Q1, corporate profits are strong, which is often a good sign of how healthy the market is. Investors are happy
The Russell 2000 Index tracks the performance of small-to-mid cap stocks across a variety of industries. Those seeking to capitalize on the growth of smaller companies typically can find many capable businesses in the index. Unfortunately for them, the Russell 2000 has continued to underperform all other major indices, including the S&P500 and Nasdaq. In
Bankruptcy is a risk for any individual or corporation that has a relationship with a bank. That is to say, no one is safe from the crushing weight of accumulating debt. However, in the case of publicly traded companies, the effects of corporate bankruptcy trickle down directly to investors. That’s because by investing, you take
On May 4, value investing disciples trooped to Omaha, Nebraska, for Berkshire Hathaway’s (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B) annual general meeting. Everyone was eager to hear what Warren Buffett had to say about the economy and Berkshire’s operations. The company’s vaunted equity portfolio is a north star for many value investors seeking the best Warren Buffett stocks to
I recently discussed the best $20 stocks to buy in April. Now I’m hunting for the best $50 stocks to buy this spring. Rather than select stocks under $50, I will look at all S&P 500 stocks trading within $5 of $50 as I write this. According to Finviz.com, there are 435 stocks over $40. From
Large-cap stocks tend to offer less volatility. Many of these corporations are leaders in their industries with vast moats. It’s difficult for any competitor to disrupt these businesses. These undervalued large-cap stocks share several characteristics. Each of them has rising revenue, but net income is growing at a faster pace for each of these companies.
Spinoffs are an interesting investment opportunity. These are corporate transactions meant to separate at least two businesses from one another. Many times investors wake to find a new stock added to their portfolios. They don’t know where it came from or even what it does. Recently I found I was the proud owner of Solventum
The semiconductor market has reached a tipping point, which is why savvy investors should be looking for semiconductor stocks to sell at the moment. Semiconductor stocks have been on a stellar run over the past 2 years, thanks to the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), 5G and data centers. However, the outlook of the
Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) began the century as a small company mailing CDs. Today Netflix stock represents the most valuable pure entertainment company in the world. Netflix also earns cloud-like margins. Some $2.3 billion of nearly $9.4 billion in revenue became net income in the first quarter of 2024. This is not a coincidence. Cloud technology powers
S&P 500 companies have reported strong earnings this season, with 79% surpassing profit expectations, according to Bloomberg’s data. However, these results have not significantly bolstered stock performance, with the median stock outperforming the index by less than 0.1% on the day earnings were announced, despite some sectors facing analyst downgrades. This marginal gain marks the
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is positioned as the premier artificial intelligence play, particularly after last year’s dramatic tripling in value. Yet investors wonder how much higher Nvidia stock can go. Yet they are also concerned about its valuation. When Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) underwhelmed the market with its earnings report, Nvidia stock tumbled in sympathy. That suggests
Contrarian investors should be wary of high optimism, not embrace it. That’s easier said than done, especially after Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) delivered decent quarterly results and published strong-looking guidance. The problem is that the market’s enthusiasm has, most likely, already been priced into Qualcomm stock. Furthermore, as we’ll see, there’s been ultra-positive chatter in the financial media about Qualcomm’s
After dropping to a low of $59,117.50, Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is back above $63,000, creating big opportunity for some of the best crypto mining stocks to buy. Even better, the digital currency could race even with two nearing catalysts. For one, according to CoinDesk.com, “May 15 marks the deadline for institutional investment managers to file form 13-F
To quote an old song, we see a bad moon rising. Electric vehicle demand is slowing, but Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) still has a high valuation and that’s a recipe for trouble. Tesla CEO Elon Musk is evidently firing an important team at the company. Given these circumstances, the best grade we can assign to Tesla stock right now
