In 2014, Massachusetts-based T2 Biosystems (NASDAQ:TTOO) went public at $11 per share. Expectations were high for the young startup. Its sepsis-detecting products targeted a $20.3 billion industry, and T2’s Magnetic Resonance Platform (T2MR) was potentially game-changing. Shares would quickly rise to a pre-split $23. The product, however, would prove a dud. In 2020, most of
As we soar into the year’s second half, the seemingly sunny skies for airline stocks appear cloudier. The hot streak in the first half will likely tempt investors to buckle in for a profitable journey. However, as we look closer, the proverbial airline stocks to avoid signs may be urgently flashing. Travel may have jetted
While expecting the latest QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) rally to prove fleeting, I didn’t think it would reverse course so far, so fast. That is, within days of publication of my latest bearish take on QS stock, it has given back the gains from its post-earnings surge, and then some. Between July 31 and today, shares in
While Upstart (NASDAQ:UPST) focuses on artificial intelligence in 2023, the company isn’t just jumping on the AI bandwagon. UPST stock earns a solid “B” grade because Upstart is deploying its technology in a useful and interesting way. Financial traders should weigh their tolerance for risk before considering an investment in Upstart. What Upstart seeks to achieve
The push to save the world from harmful pollutants is only going to grow in the coming years. Programs by governments across the world are causing industries to make the most of this opportunity. However, this is not something that can be achieved overnight. It will take a lot of time and effort for the
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock has been crushing it this year. After a big run higher on the heels of the tech giant’s massive leap into artificial intelligence, the market is starting to take a breather with MSFT stock. While this comes despite releasing a strong earnings report late last month, it makes some sense that investors
The month of August begins and with it I bring you three energy stocks with growth potential that are developing innovative projects and incredible energy processing methods. You will notice something peculiar. Some of them are working together on the same energy project. It is incredible that large companies will collaborate with each other for
Investors should expect a steep selloff among artificial intelligence stocks, as Wall Street cashes in on the high valuations many companies in this sector provide. On the other hand, some high-potential AI names remain overlooked, and the recent AI craze has done little to uplift their valuation. Thus, as the rally cools, smart investors will
The biotech industry proved itself resilient in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. With research from Mckinsey, venture capitalist (VC) companies increased investments from 2,200 in 2016 to 3,100 in 2021 in biotechnology (biotech) startups. These startups have advanced medicine overall, improving cell therapy, tissue regeneration, genetic medicine, and more. With increasing innovation, we see
It’s worth noting that blue-chip stocks go through their own bull and bear phase. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) was under-performing until October 2022. The massive rally in the last three quarters has more than compensated for the bear phase. With strong fundamentals, several other undervalued blue-chip stocks are worth considering for the long-term even as the markets
The retail space can be unpredictable even at the best of times, so these retail stocks are definitely ones to avoid in the current environment. Debt levels have grown to uncomfortable levels for many of the sector’s players, and with rates rising and consumers tightening their purse strings, many retailers are between a rock and
Whether he’s rebranding social media company Twitter as X, launching the Cybertruck at electric vehicle maker Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), or sending supplies to the international space station via rockets made by commercial space concern SpaceX, Elon Musk is a busy man and technology visionary. He’s also a controversial figure who is known for promoting cryptocurrencies and
Want a safe way to participate in this year’s market rally? Consider taking a position in a growth exchange-traded fund (ETF). These are passive rather than actively managed investments that typically track the performance of a particular stock index or basket of equities. Benefits of putting money into ETFs include diversification and broad exposure, both
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares took many investors by surprise in 2023. Shares have more than tripled year to date and currently carry a 232 P/E ratio. The forward P/E ratio of 59 makes shares look more palatable, but most of the upside potential came and went for investors. Shares may continue to go higher and reward long-term

The ongoing electric vehicle revolution provides plenty of opportunities for investors. Whether it’s electric car producers, battery manufacturers, software providers, EV charging stocks, or lithium mining companies, there are myriad ways to play growth in this space. However, it’s increasingly my view that many EV charging companies may be better valued and better positioned for
By now, you’ve likely heard about ongoing strikes affecting entertainment stocks. After actors joined the writer picket lines, most entertainment stocks fell sharply. The fallout was broad, affecting legacy media franchises and streaming platforms alike. But continuing strikes aren’t all that’s suppressing entertainment stocks, and the future is bleak for legacy companies reliant on cable
Last week, meme investors “discovered” Rite Aid (NYSE:RAD), sending its shares up 70%. The Wall Street Journal would quickly give the company a meme stock crown. For most traditional investors, Rite Aid looks like a terrible bet. The struggling drug retailer hasn’t been profitable since 2017, and a deal five years ago to sell 1,932
I have long believed that consumers, who have skimped on buying goods and splurged on travel for over a year, would start to reverse those trends in the second half of 2023. Recently there were two signs that my prediction is coming true. Specifically, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) reported that the sales of PCs were starting to
Until the trend fails, chip stocks should remain in focus. Throughout 2023, the best AI stock stocks have been a dominating theme, as these stocks — big and small — have enjoyed powerful upside surges. In some cases, it has even helped power the overall markets higher. That seems like an extreme statement, but given
