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.

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.

Whispers and rumors of widespread cannabis legalization are growing louder. Although the last major surge in top cannabis stocks during the late 2010s significantly eclipses today’s market and per-share pricing, top cannabis stocks are gradually ticking upward.

Most investors are well aware that the S&P 500 was down 1.6% at the end of April. However, the ongoing earnings season and the promise of at least one rate cut later in the year have helped stocks keep momentum.
