Reports indicate that Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) has been on a share-buyback binge. Does this mean that you should buy GOOG stock today? Not necessarily, as a legal case and Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) investment in artificial intelligence (AI) technology will likely pose serious threats to Alphabet in 2023. There’s nothing wrong with monitoring a

Will electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) be able to compete successfully against automotive giants like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)? This is a tough question that prospective LCID stock investors should carefully consider. Granted, Lucid has some well-heeled financial backers, but this doesn’t mean you have to jump into the trade. Let’s face the facts: Inflation isn’t transitory

Long-term investors of electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ:RIDE) have a lot of catching up to do. There’s a chance that RIDE stock will recover, but it will take a while. Think in terms of years, not months. As you’re surely aware, Lordstown Motors has a lot of competition in the EV industry. You may

Quantumscape (NYSE:QS) shares have made some whipsaw moves over the past few trading days. Ahead of its latest quarterly results on Feb. 15, QS stock surged by nearly 32.3%, only to plunge by 17.2% the following trading day. Still, it’s up more than 90% on the year. It’s not a mystery as to why this

Electric vehicle adoption is taking off and is poised to keep climbing tremendously in the coming years. First of all, New York, California, and the EU have all banned the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles starting in 2035, and the governments of those jurisdictions will all take steps to boost the sale of EVs in the coming years.

Electric vehicles have become a rage these days. With the government’s incentives, we will soon see a majority of EVs running on the roads. With a rise in demand for EVs, there will also be a surge in demand for batteries, and smart investors will know where to put their money. It is difficult to

Sometimes, even the biggest technology companies have an off year. Such was the case with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), as AAPL stock didn’t reward its owners with outstanding returns over the past month. However, this doesn’t mean a $1,000 investment in Apple is a lost cause, as there could be a share-price rally just around the corner. It

In January, media firm Buzzfeed (NASDAQ:BZFD) made headlines after its CEO proposed using ChatGPT to help generate “cultural currency” and “inspired prompts” for his site. The following week, meme stock Helbiz (NASDAQ:HLBZ) would join the frenzy… without any detail on how an e-scooter business benefits from using chatbots. Tongues would quickly start wagging. “The AI

Can ChatGPT pick winning stocks? Many have already tried to goad OpenAI’s chatbot into the task. In January, a team at Bloomberg asked ChatGPT to pick a list of stocks for a market-beating ETF. They failed. ChatGPT’s safeguards immediately kicked in, leaving the writers with a generic non-answer about “unpredictable” markets and how they should

Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) has rewarded investors who held its shares over the past decade. What about the past year, though? The results haven’t been stellar, and GOOG stock is likely to fall further as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) asserts its dominance over Alphabet in the red-hot artificial intelligence (AI) market segment. When it comes

Once a seemingly unstoppable business, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is now facing difficulties that could weigh on AMZN stock for a while. This doesn’t mean Amazon won’t survive. The e-commerce giant’s shareholders will probably prevail in the end, but the next few months could be challenging. The Amazon share price has dropped from $185 to around $100, and

There’s no denying that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is currently winning the battle between Big Tech firms to dominate the world of artificial intelligence.

If you’re going to stay the course as an investor in electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturer QuantumScape (NYSE:QS), ask yourself a question: What’s my time horizon?

With new advancements in computer technologies and utility, several tech stocks soared on the implications for the broader artificial intelligence trend. In particular, the ability of AI and machine learning protocols to meet users where they are – that is, to speak their (human) language – sparked intense curiosity.

Heavily shorted meme stocks have become a major draw for speculators in the stock market. These stocks are characterized by their high volatility, popularity, and short interest by investors.

When markets closed last month, it became official: Cathie Wood’s ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA:ARKK) had scored its best-returning month in its 9-year history. The 27.8% return in January was a welcome reversal for the struggling fund. The ETF had lost around 80% of its value since 2021. And it made some of Ms. Wood’s most

It’s safe to say that it has been tough in recent days for Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) investors. Since the unveiling of the Google parent’s Bard artificial intelligence (or AI) platform, GOOG stock has tumbled by around 11.6%, back down to double-digit price levels. The market is not very confident that Bard will enable the tech

In recent articles on SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI), I have been bearish on SOFI stock, for numerous reasons. Most of these reasons are short-term in nature. For example, renewed worries about macroeconomic issues like inflation and interest rates could knock the stock back lower. Also, further headwinds related to the student loan repayment pause may also

From January, up until this week, it may have seemed as if Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) were emerging out of its recent slump. During this timeframe, GOOG stock rallied by more than 20%. Last month’s layoff news may have been a big reason for this, but renewed hopes that the tech giant is not falling

How much risk can you tolerate on a multi-year time frame? It’s time to conduct a gut-check, as electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) is ambitious but not in an ideal capital position. Thus, RIVN stock could provide great wealth over the next five years, but investors should be cautious and maintain small position sizes.

The market’s high pessimism for TSLA stock at the start of the year seems to have shifted into high optimism. Hopes are that this electric vehicle (EV) maker can continue to thrive despite current economic challenges. Even as other growth stocks

Tech and crypto could dominate as the hot stocks for tomorrow. We’re still seeing the Federal Reserve and earnings control the headlines now. That’s as investors continue to fret about rate hikes from the Fed and a potential recession at some point this year. It’s also as the S&P 500 continues to “climb a wall

After years of astounding gains, one might be led to assume that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock can’t possibly disappoint its investors. Yet, every company is vulnerable to macroeconomic issues, including Amazon. The past 12 months were painful for overeager Amazon shareholders, and unfortunately, the next year might not be much better. As the old saying goes,

Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) first-quarter fiscal 2023 results caught investors’ attention but not necessarily in a good way. The results were in the financial headlines because Apple posted an earnings miss, which is rare.

The stock market is looking the best it has in weeks, and yet many investors are still nervous. That anxiety is justified, as we still have to technically finish the bear market we’re in. Earnings have been mixed, as have the economic reports. What should investors be watching as the hot stocks for tomorrow? We’re

Not long ago, InvestorPlace contributor Josh Enomoto put Sitio Royalties (NYSE:STR) on his list of seven short-squeeze stocks to buy before they soar. All seven of them look promising, but STR stock really caught my eye. There’s definitely short-squeeze potential here, and this should pique the interest of short-term traders. However, there are also reasons to

It certainly hasn’t been easy for investors of electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturer QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) to stay in the trade. QS stock has been volatile and will likely stay that way.
