Given QuantumScape’s (NYSE: QS) relatively high valuation and the fact that its batteries, in a best-case scenario, won’t be commercialized for many years, the risk/reward ratio of QS stock is unfavorable at this point. Also worth noting is that investors are rather skeptical about pre-revenue companies such as QuantumScape in the current macro environment, while

The number of zombie companies ebbs and flows with economic cycles and usually increases during recessionary periods. Diebold Nixdorf (DBD): The ATM machines business contributes to top-line growth as customers increasingly shift toward automation and self-service. Mattel (MAT): The toy company plans to produce more than a dozen movies, including the highly anticipated Barbie movie in 2023.

EV upstart Lucid Motors (NASDAQ:LCID) delivered a strong earnings beat with its first-quarter results. Investors were lackadaisical, though, as LCID stock shed close to 12% of its value on its post-earnings sell-off. Analysts were expecting the EV firm to lose 31 cents per share on sales of $55.6 million. However, actual results came in significantly

The S&P 500 has been getting pummeled. That goes for the index, the S&P futures (ES) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY). SPY stock is not the worst performer of the major U.S. indices, though. The Nasdaq is, barely edging out the Russell 2000, with its 26% decline. SPY is down about 15% from

ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT) is a California-based company that provides electric vehicle (EV) charging networks and charging solutions. The company went public via a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) and was initially highly popular with traders. CHPT stock shot up as high as $45 in late 2020 following the launch of its SPAC deal. Since then, however, ChargePoint has

In principle, the latest development out of the Federal Reserve (Fed) bodes well for cryptocurrency miner Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ:MARA). One of the biggest beneficiaries of the digital asset boom of 2021, MARA stock exceeded $76 at its peak during the new normal, a multiyear high. However, risk-off sentiment clouded the broader capital markets this

Matterport (NASDAQ:MTTR) on April 28 announced that it is opening new sales channels and increasing customer service operations in Japan. The expansion is great to see. But until the company is on better financial footing — or the markets are less uncertain — I wouldn’t put my money in MTTR stock just yet. In its news

Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) has been volatile over the last few weeks and so has Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). What’s the common denominator? Elon Musk. After initially hesitating to do so, Twitter eventually agreed to a sale with Musk. A rumor that once sent TWTR stock higher by 38% in two days has actually come to fruition. Despite this,

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is down 15% since it released its first-quarter results on April 28. The online merchant had a massive outflow of free cash flow (FCF) in the last 12 months. This does not bode well for AMZN stock going forward. The reason is its FCF, after including repayments of finance leases and financing obligations, was

Lucid Group (LCID) has pulled back to under $20 per share. While a recent deal has given LCID stock a slight boost, another move lower may be just around the corner. As it remains likely for Lucid to make a trip back to $10 per share before bottoming out, even if you’re bullish, there’s no

Twilio (TWLO) has surface-level appeal from a revenue-growth standpoint On the other hand, the company isn’t profitable, and is only digging a deeper financial hole for itself Investors should consider just avoiding Twilio altogether, even if they feel strongly about the future of cloud-based digital communications Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.com At first glance, cloud-communications

Gevo (NASDAQ:GEVO) announced plans to help Delta Airlines (NYSE:DAL) cut its carbon emissions by supplying Delta with its sustainable aviation fuel. That could be great for the environment, but it probably doesn’t make GEVO stock a buy yet. GEVO produces liquid carbons that are made into gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel fuel, and when these fuels

GameStop (GME) is a hedge fund slayer, but in need of a bit of help. Its financial metrics are at odds with its stock prowess. Trading the ranges tactically may be where the easiest gains lie.

The earnings train steams along. After a week of largely positive quarterly results from leading technology companies, the focus in the coming days turns to leading blue-chip companies, many of which are household names. Over the next week, we will hear from several top tier prescription drug makers, travel companies, technology companies, and food and

Costco (NASDAQ:COST) is an incredible retail machine. COST stock keeps on going up and up; it has nearly doubled since the beginning of 2020 and it’s up more than 200% over the past five years. This has started to attract some naysayers who say that Costco should be selling off like so many other companies that

If the backdrop of electric vehicle (EV) focused shell company Gores Guggenheim (NASDAQ:GGPI) only featured soaring gasoline prices with all other factors being normal (as in pre-pandemic normal), then GGPI stock may very well be a buy. Who wouldn’t want to make the transition to EVs, especially in car crazy California, where the average per-gallon

After the market closed on April 26, Quantumscape (NYSE:QS) reported its results for the March quarter. QS stock has been up since then, but it should be noted that tech stocks overall rallied on April 28. Not only that, on the day of earnings, tech stocks were down big for the day. In short, it’s

WeWork (NYSE:WE) stock is down more than 2.51% today at $7.07 per share. The global co-working leader underperformed the market on the day and dipped 24.27% on the year, despite strong co-working demand. The company’s weak financials and high debt should continue to weigh on the stock in the near term as investors continue to dump

Intel’s (NASDAQ:INTC) revenue forecast fell short of estimates as the company contends with inflationary pressures and supply issues.

If you would have told me two years ago that Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:BABA) stock would be priced at less than $100 without going through a stock split, I would have thought you were crazy. But that’s where we are. BABA stock continues to falter, now below $90 and comfortably below its 200-day and 50-day

Tesla (TSLA) stock dropped by more than two Twitters (TWTR) in a day. Some investors understandably question paying 18 times revenue for a luxury nameplate. For now, the mid-market belongs to Tesla’s rivals.

Amid all the excitement about Elon Musk buying Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) and taking it private, there’s still one nearly overlooked item coming up this week – TWTR stock earnings. The social media platform is expected to report first quarter earnings tomorrow before the opening bell. And all eyes, including those of the would-be owner and chief

T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) is expected to report earnings for the first quarter before the morning bell on Wednesday. Here’s what to be looking for with TMUS stock.

SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFI) is very ebullient about its 2022 expectations. Last quarter, its slide deck forecasted adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) will rise from $30 million in 2021 to $180 million in 2022. The only problem is the Federal Reserve (Fed) is now raising rates. That could put a damper

Monday morning was an interesting moment in the stock market. After trying to rotate over the prior week’s high early on Thursday morning, the S&P 500 rolled over…hard. Everything in its path, including Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) was under pressure. Friday was even worse for the markets, although AMD stock fell less than 2% on

IonQ, Inc. (NYSE:IONQ) works on the cutting edge of technology, focusing on quantum computing. As the company’s website says, “Quantum computing has the potential to change the world, and IonQ is leading the way.” That’s important and fascinating work — but it doesn’t make IONQ stock a buy just yet. Quantum computing gets its name

Few words are scarier for investors than the “d”-word: de-listing. There hasn’t been a de-listing threat for Greek oil transportation company Imperial Petroleum (NASDAQ:IMPP) — or at least, not yet. Could IMPP stock get actually kicked off of the Nasdaq exchange in 2022? This question certainly wasn’t top-of-mind for many investors in early March, when the

Over the last few weeks, Camber Energy’s (NYSEAMERICAN:CEI) stock has shown impressive growth. It dipped below 70 cents per share on April 12.
