Get ready for an unpopular opinion. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a darling of the market, which is fine to a certain extent. Yet, perhaps it’s too much of a darling now. Because so many of Wall Street’s experts are ultra-bullish and have outsized expectations for Nvidia, this would be the right time to reduce your exposure to

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) CEO Lisa Su has achieved almost heroic status. Moreover, AMD stock has rallied sharply in 2023 so far. Yet, not every expert on Wall Street is bullish about Advanced Micro Devices (commonly abbreviated as AMD). Ultimately, it’s smart for investors to get both sides of the story and maintain a reasonable

Nio (NYSE:NIO), a prominent player in the electric vehicle industry, has been a rollercoaster of a stock. The company’s shares have seen a considerable drop since their 2021 peak. Is now the time to start betting on a reversal in trend? First, let’s talk company dynamics. NIO stock has been affected by China’s slow economic

Artificial intelligence is the talk of the town right now. Naturally, many stocks in the AI space have seen valuations grow, as productivity benefits flow downstream. The higher demand that corresponds to these benefits creates greater demand, and an upward spiral for investors. Indeed, the rally we’ve seen in many AI stocks is not unjustified. However,

In 2023 Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock has gone from being the cheapest of the Cloud Czars, on a price to earnings basis, to the second most valuable. Its PE of 38.38 on July 18 was narrowly ahead of Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), which was at 38.18, and well ahead of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), at 32.78. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL)

Prior to 2023, many financial traders had never heard of enterprise artificial intelligence company C3.ai (NYSE:AI). Then, the machine-learning boom got underway and AI stock rallied quickly. That’s exciting, but it’s important to weigh the bullish and bearish sides of the argument if you’re considering investing in C3.ai. C3.ai was deeply immersed in the machine learning industry before

The bear case for SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) has long been based upon valuation-related concerns. Using traditional valuation metrics, SOFI stock appears pricey to more value-conscious investors. In their view, SoFi seems more like its “old school” banking rivals than it does to other more tech-driven companies in the fintech space. Earlier this month, a sell-side

Those who track me on Twitter (@leadlagreport) know I often use colorful language in describing Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), a leading player in the graphics processing unit (GPU) market. NVDA stock has skyrocketed, with its market capitalization surpassing the $1 trillion milestone. Nvidia’s success is primarily attributed to the rapid growth and adoption of AI technologies, where

Up well over threefold since January, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has not only become one of the top-performing, most talked-about stocks. NVDA stock has also become a name that is difficult to figure out. Excitement about, and initial strong results from, booming demand for generative artificial intelligence chips are the main reason behind this semiconductor stock’s jaw-dropping

If there’s one thing that the market dislikes, it’s uncertainty. And, there’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) in 2023. Sure, GME stock could surge in the year’s second half, but it could also crash. In the final analysis, the best policy to to just watch and wait from the sidelines. Could

The current bull market is ablaze with money to be made right now. After a brutal decline in 2022, stocks have come roaring back in the last eight months, led by a resurgence in technology stocks. In 2023, the Nasdaq is already up an incredible 40%, while the benchmark S&P 500 has gained 20%. The

Investors have been piling back into growth stocks — perhaps somewhat begrudgingly — as the group continues to gravitate higher. These promising growth stocks have become top stocks to buy as they continue to rise higher. Fear of missing out — or “FOMO” — may be driving some of these gains, although the stocks do

In most, if not all, of my prior articles on QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock, I’ve taken a bearish view. However, ahead of the electric vehicle battery company’s upcoming earnings release, I’m taking a second look at the situation. Don’t get me wrong. QS remains very speculative and at risk of a sharp price decline if the

Since its inception, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been defying norms and pushing boundaries. Its ambitious mission to “accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy” has propelled it to the forefront of the global EV industry. However, the TSLA stock narrative extends beyond its prowess in EV manufacturing. Its foray into areas such as autonomous driving technology,

Investors remain confident in Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock’s strong position in the generative AI race, despite US-China tensions. NVDA stock has risen 3% in July, outperforming the Nasdaq Index, and has surged 200% this year, reaching a market cap over $1 trillion. While investors are bullish on Nvidia’s potential, there are several key points they should watch

A handful of large-scale financial traders reduced or eliminated their positions in SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock. Should this be a deal-breaker for prospective investors? Not necessarily, as a high-court ruling could have a major, positive impact on SoFi Technologies and its stakeholders. It’s been fascinating to watch the market dislike SoFi Technologies for a while, and

Why would the experts on Wall Street be so bullish on Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock now? Probably, a major consideration is the company’s ambitious development of hardware to support artificial intelligence applications. But before you take a share position in AMD, consider whether you’re getting in at the best possible time. After all, the

Spurred in part by analysts (like me) “discovering” it, Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock is one of China’s hottest 2023 plays. Since the start of this year, shares in Li are up 75%, five times more than the S&P 500. Investors now pay over six times revenue for a company that has yet to make a

July thus far has been a great month for electric vehicle stocks, and Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock is no exception. Already trending higher at the start of the month, NIO stock has kept climbing, making its way back to double-digit prices for the first time in months. Some of the latest rally for the China-based EV

The stock market has seen a strong rally in 2023, with the Nasdaq Composite up nearly 30% year-to-date. This has led to overvaluation in many growth stocks. It’s important for investors, even long-term ones, to periodically review their portfolios and identify overvalued stocks. Despite corporate America’s efforts to spin the narrative, here are three stocks

Over the past month, there’s been growing awareness about Quaclomm’s (NASDAQ:QCOM) potential to benefit from the growing integration of artificial intelligence applications. However, has this had an impact on the price of QCOM stock? Not really. Since chatter about this possible catalyst emerged, shares in the mobile chip maker have traded sideways. While up by

According to delivery data, China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) isn’t firing on all cylinders. Yet, there’s a reason to watch NIO stock, even if you’re not prepared to go all-in on the shares. As a famous automaker opts to “play ball” with China’s government, Nio can now be more competitive and successful. I’ll admit, I’ve

Artificial intelligence predicts that Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) stock will move higher. Plus, a well-known fund manager likes Palantir Technologies’ future prospects. However, you have to make your own financial decisions If you’re a value-focused investor, then you’ll probably want to wait before taking a share position in Palantir Technologies. Headquartered in Colorado, Palantir Technologies is provides

Many people view hydrogen as the power source of the future because it emits no greenhouse gases when burned. The only waste produced is water vapor, making it among the cleanest energy sources available. So, it’s much cleaner than fossil fuels such as crude oil, natural gas, and coal. Companies around the world are working

As discussed in my last article on QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock, electric vehicle stocks began to rally at the start of July, on the heels of Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) latest delivery numbers. The TSLA rally has stalled, but interestingly enough, more speculative EV plays keep climbing. QS stock is no exception. Other early-stage EV names, like Lucid

It’s certainly not difficult to find folks who are super-bullish on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) as a purveyor of hardware for artificial intelligence (AI) applications. However, at least one well-known investor is signaling caution on NVDA stock, which appears to be over-hyped and overpriced. As we’ll see, the investor I’m referring to is concerned about Nvidia and about

After a swift rally in SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock, a pullback ensued but caution is still advised. Recent developments pertaining to student loan repayments, and the benefits that SoFi Technologies will gain, were already anticipated and factored into the SoFi Technologies share price. So, don’t be surprised if the shares decline to $6 in the coming
