QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock was one of the laggards in 2022 as broader market trends forced shares into a retreat. The stock experienced a steep decline of 76% in 2022, reaching its highest point during the first week of trading and gradually decreasing during a turbulent year. However, the year thus far has been brilliant for

After recently reporting strong clinical data, Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) has tremendous opportunities in front of it. More specifically, the company’s coronavirus booster and its coronavirus-flu combination vaccine can become huge revenue generators. Given these points, I believe that NVAX stock can soar almost 12 times within the next year. The company’s new CEO also makes me very upbeat

If there’s an arms race in generative artificial intelligence, Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) definitely isn’t in the lead position. It’s going to be very difficult for Alphabet to catch up to Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) in that area, and value-conscious investors should be cautious about GOOG stock in 2023. Microsoft is integrating generative AI technology quickly and effectively

AI stocks have dominated the financial headlines in 2023. By now, you’re familiar with how artificial intelligence could change every aspect of our lives. You’ve likely seen the oft-cited Grand View Research stat that the global AI market could hit $1.81 trillion by 2030. And you’ve probably heard Bank of America analysts say AI is

I have owned Amazon.Com (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock for a decade, and I have never been more worried about it. It’s not just that shares are down 40% over the last year. It’s not just that growth slowed to 9% last year or that it lost money. It’s certainly not the layoffs. It’s that the company appears

Shares in GameStop (NYSE:GME) zoomed higher during March, and interestingly enough, for reasons more substantive than usual. That this, last month’s GME stock spike was based on more than merely “hope and hype” from the meme stock community. Instead, the video game retailer’s quarterly results were behind the rally. Coming in well ahead of expectations with earnings,

Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Polestar Automotive (NASDAQ:PSNY) is known for catering to luxury car buyers. There are benefits and drawbacks to this approach. PSNY stock will probably move higher over the next couple of years but don’t expect quick gains if you’re planning to invest in Polestar. As we’ll see, Polestar has ambitions to make a

As JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon recently stated, the banking crisis is “not yet over.” What investors may want to know, however, is how this crisis impacts this particular bank itself. And, most importantly, what the situation looks like for JPM stock going forward. Last month, when the failure of SVB Financial’s (OTCMKT:SIVBQ) Silicon Valley Bank subsidiary set the

Silicon Valley Bank may have failed, but you can still buy shares in SVB Financial Group (OTCMKTS:SIVBQ), its parent company. Trading in SVB Financial stock on the Nasdaq Exchange was suspended on March 10 following SVB’s collapse. However, on March 28, this stock, formerly trading under the ticker symbol SIVB, resumed trading in the over-the-counter (or OTC) market under the ticker

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) is well-known for introducing new, vastly improved, high-end desktop chips. Accordingly, as hardware and data center trends improve, many analysts are expecting INTC stock to rise. My own personal INTC stock price prediction stands at a whopping $85 per share. There are many reasons for this, over and above the aforementioned thesis. Intel

C3.ai (NYSE:AI), a pure-play enterprise AI software provider, has been one of the high flyers of the market in 2023. Since the start of the year, AI stock has gone from strength to strength. As of the time of writing, shares are up more than 90% since the start of the year. However, recent developments,

The 2022 tech wreck wiped out 40% of Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) equity value. However, 2023 has brought GOOG stock within 3% of where it was two years ago. The company behind Google is now worth $1.33 trillion, making it the third most-valuable of the “Cloud Czars” behind Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) at $2.6 trillion and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) at $2.1 trillion. But neither of the

You know how the saying goes. The best time to plant a tree, or build generational wealth, was 30 years ago. The second-best time is right now. For those looking to pass something down to their grandkids, there’s always the question of what the best sort of investment is. Sure, bonds now carry yields we

In recent weeks, Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has started to make a steady move to higher prices. After hitting a new all-time low during mid-March, during the last few trading days of the month, investors warmed back up to Rivian stock. This was due to speculation that the electric vehicle (or EV maker) would beat estimates

After pulling back during February and early March, Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) shares have been on the rise over the past few weeks. With its move back to around $9.50 per share, CVNA stock is again one of this year’s top performers. This year, the stock has more than doubled. That’s some strong performance. That said, I think speculators are

General Motors (NYSE:GM) is firing on all cylinders. Plus, the American auto sector is again accelerating. Moreover, GM’s longer-term prognosis is quite good, as the automaker’s electric-vehicle business looks poised to thrive. Better, GM appears well-positioned to launch a lucrative robotaxi business.  Given these points, I’m very bullish on GM stock, and I recommend that

The speculative fervor around Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has something in common with a short squeeze. At some point, it ends in tears for someone. There’s also no doubt that NVDA stock is a bubble stock. We’re talking about 118 times earnings and 25 times sales. This is happening just two years after the last tech

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) faced an unusual setback when the stock dropped by over $100 billion following a mishap with its generative AI earlier in the year. Specifically, its Bard chatbot ad provided inaccurate information. Furthermore, analysts criticized the company’s AI search event for lacking details on responding to Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) ChatGPT challenge in Feb. Alphabet is in a favorable

In recent weeks, investors have started to become charged up again about China-based electric vehicle company Nio (NYSE:NIO). Sentiment for NIO stock has shifted back to positive, resulting in a rapid move for shares back to double-digit prices. Several recent developments have played a role in getting the stock back on an upward trajectory, but

Machine learning software specialist C3.ai (NYSE:AI), has received a lot of press coverage this year, but is AI stock worth your attention now? Some analysts are skeptical. Yet, the bullish argument might prevail in 2023 and beyond as C3.ai is a strong contender in the high-conviction artificial intelligence market. Without warning, machine learning became a top-trending

If you’ve been looking for IPOs to watch out for in 2023, you’ve likely come up empty-handed. According to Renaissance Capital, just 29 companies have gone public in the United States so far this year, raising $2.3 billion in proceeds. That’s 61% and 10.5% higher than in 2022, respectively. But it still pales in comparison

“Cathie Wood Stocks” is a phrase that many investors have come to recognize. As a tech hawk and the founder of Ark Investment Trust (NYSEARCA:ARKK), Cathie Wood is known for her aggressive plays in the stock market — but that doesn’t mean she’s without mistake.  In this article, we’ll examine three of the stocks that

Analysts have a lot to say about electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN). Some of what they’re saying is positive, but there are some cautionary notes as well. By and large, however, the experts on Wall Street generally expect RIVN stock to move higher. So, consider taking a share position in Rivian for the

As you likely know, First Republic (NYSE:FRC) has been making headlines lately, and not in a good way. Over the past month, FRC stock has fallen by more than 88%. The fears driving these declines have been well-founded. Following the collapse of SVB Financial’s (OTCMKTS:SIVB) Silicon Valley Bank (or SVB) subsidiary, the San Francisco-based bank,

Many Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock investors are underwater now, but they shouldn’t lose hope. A share-price recovery is likely, as the market has already punished Lucid for its lackluster 2022 performance. Besides, Lucid Group’s market presence is expanding abroad, and the automaker could establish a strong foothold in Saudi Arabia. The bears and short-sellers will undoubtedly

After plunging during February, shares in Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) rallied during March. Trading for just under $91 per share at the start of the month, as of this writing, GOOG stock changes hands at around $103 per share. The stock is near price levels last seen just prior to the tech giant’s poorly

Last week, I noted that short sellers were playing with fire by betting against GameStop (NYSE:GME). High call volumes and low short float meant the meme stock could quickly become a massive short squeeze. On Tuesday, GameStop shareholders scored another win: The company announced its first profit in two years. Shares in the videogame retailer

Since mid-March, the dust has settled on the Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) sell-off. RIVN stock has found support, at between $13 and $14 per share. For investors bullish on the electric vehicle megatrend, this may seem like an ideal entry point to build a position. After all, with so much negativity priced into the EV maker’s

Is Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock on the cusp of a breakout, or just a fake out? It’s been rough going for Amazon’s loyal investors during the past year. However, the story of 2023 is still unfolding, and there are valid reasons to stay in the trade with Amazon. Not long ago, InvestorPlace contributor Bret Kenwell suggested that

It’s no surprise that SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock has performed poorly as of late. This month’s banking crisis has considerably pressured financial stocks. Add in the surface-level similarity between SoFi, and SVB Financial (NASDAQ:SIVB), and it makes even more sense why the market has gone from bullish to bearish on shares in this fintech firm/neobank.
