It’s been a volatile start to the second quarter for many sectors. However, investors continue to seek out undervalued biotech stocks for robust returns over the long term. Plenty of options exist in various niches within the biotech sector. That said, investor focus remains on key sectors, including weight-loss drugs, Parkinson’s treatments and drugs aimed

If you’re investing under the assumption that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is infallible and invincible, think again. As the company shows cracks in the armor, AAPL stock gets a “D” grade and we’re not giving it a confident recommendation today. We’ve already pointed out some problems with the seemingly almighty Apple. For example, iPhone shipments fell by approximately 33% year over year
Lucid stock (NASDAQ:LCID) burst into the scene with its sleek, high performance luxury electric vehicles (EVs). The company’s initial promise and bold claims after its IPO in 2021 garnered significant investor attention. However, 2024 could be the year that the music stops for Lucid stock. Plagued by questionable leadership decisions, dwindling cash reserves, and an
The path to recovery for global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic hasn’t been easy. We could hope for AMC stock to return to its meme-stock-craze heights, but the facts and circumstances surrounding AMC Entertainment shouldn’t inspire investors’ confidence in 2024. AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron is an enthusiastic cheerleader for his
Cocoa prices are still pushing aggressively higher, and may still have room to run. Recently passing $10,000, cocoa is up about 120% this year. All thanks to harsh weather conditions, black pod disease, swollen shoot virus, underinvestment and supply shortages. These factors have led investors to look at some of the top cocoa stocks to
Nio (NYSE:NIO), which at one time traded for as much as $62.84 per share, now trades for under $5 per share, putting NIO stock firmly in penny stock territory. However, investors have rightfully bailed this China-based EV manufacturer. I’m referring to more than just fair weather fans of the stock. As InvestorPlace’s Eddie Pan reported
The market’s “show me” stance on Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is likely to change down the road but not in the immediate future. In light of a recent development, though, our optimism for Palantir stock has received a boost. Last week, the company entered a fortuitous partnership. The market’s reaction to this news was pretty muted,
It is not a bad idea to hunt for biotech stocks to sell. Such stocks have earned a bad reputation among investors, and for good reason. Most biotech companies fail, as their success often hinges on receiving regulatory approval for their products. It is an extremely high-risk sector to invest in. For every promising biotech
There are crowded trades, and then there are really crowded trades. The sentiment surrounding Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has been ultra-bullish for a year and a half now. This story could have a very unhappy ending, so now’s not the time to be greedy with AMD stock. Note that I didn’t say AMD is a bad
Choosing agriculture stocks to buy will be challenging in the coming decades. The global population is expected to increase to 10 billion by 2050. To feed the swelling population, bigger investments are needed in the agricultural sector. However, growth is impacted by factors like water shortage and uncertain weather conditions. Notably, 258 million people faced
Solar stocks are gaining ground again in 2024 after hawkish federal and domestic supply chain issues led to a decline in share prices. This is thanks to policy issues focusing on this market segment regardless of Republican and Democratic platforms. And solar stocks will remain center stage as we near the next U.S. presidential election.
Lithium stocks are possibly among the most ignored stories from being the hottest commodities in the markets. That’s the nature of the markets, as reactions tend to be on the extremes. Of course, the plunge in lithium price had to be discounted, but most lithium stocks seem to be trading at a valuation gap. For
In December 2021, the World Economic Forum reported on an investigation regarding the reasons for the decline in long-term investing. Some key reasons included the emergence of high-frequency machine trading, low fees & commissions, focus on short-term results and shorter company lifespans. It seems to be an era of stock trades rather than value investing.
Dividend investors look for promising investment opportunities that provide steady cash flow. Some corporations offer quarterly dividend distributions for their investors and raise them yearly. Reinvesting dividends can help you compound your dividend income even more. Buying enough dividends can lead to monthly cash distributions. If one stock distributes dividends in January, another offers them
“Let your winners run.” That’s the advice I gave two months ago in arguing for investors to not take profits on winning investments even if they seem like overvalued stocks. Doing so undercuts your portfolio’s returns. I stand by that advice. But as they also say, never say never. By and large I am a
Many highly successful stock pickers, including Warren Buffett, often buy stocks on weakness. That’s largely because companies that are great or are on their way to greatness often sink for reasons that are not at all justified. For example, on Feb. 21, Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) dropped to as low as $817.08 per share. Many
Semiconductors are being called the “oil of the 21st century.” Much like energy reserves, the U.S. government is securing reliable sources of semiconductors to fuel economic and technological growth. By 2030, the U.S. could produce 20% of the world’s most advanced semiconductors, according to American Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. The U.S. currently produces between 10%
The stock market seems to win even when it loses. Even as a strong jobs market report Friday hints that interest rate cuts are not coming in the next few months, both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 gained several hundred points or about 1%. After last year’s big comeback, many expected
The Russell 2000, an index tracking the performance of small-to-mid-cap companies, continues to struggle against its peer indices, largely repeating the events of last year. In 2023, The Russell 2000 increased 16.8%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices appreciated 24.2% and 43.4%, respectively. The index had been trailing the S&P 500 and Nasdaq since then. In 2024, the Russell
The Magnificent 7 stocks were in a league just over a year ago. Nowadays, the group has fallen through, with many folks narrowing down the exclusive basket to six, now five or four. At this pace, we may be left with just one Magnificent stock standing as Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) continues its epic rally on
