Stocks to buy

Meta Platforms’ (NASDAQ:META) stock surge continues to be driven by its fundamentals, with robust growth in ad revenue continuing to remain the story with most investors. With over 3 billion daily app users, engagement has soared alongside the company’s stock price. This surge in engagement has allowed META stock to exceed expectations, reporting earnings per

The stock market is a dynamic place to invest, and selecting the correct equities to add to a portfolio may be likened to unearthing treasures within an enormous mine. When pursuing financial expansion, dividend stocks stand out as stability and income production pillars. Seven stocks stand out as true stars since they promise significant gains

The Nasdaq recently slid below 16,000 points again after reaching a fresh high. This pullback was largely due to the hotter-than-expected inflation report, which points to the Federal Reserve maintaining high interest rates for a few more months, possibly even beyond Q2 if inflation persists. Elevated rates and bearish sentiment spell trouble for growth stocks

These are three St. Patrick’s Day stocks for investors to add to their portfolios. I believe these companies will see a boost in sales and consumer interest around the March 17th holiday celebrating Irish culture. However, I don’t expect them to be simply short-term performers. While the festive St. Patrick’s Day period provides an annual

With major stock markets reaching new highs in Q1, some investors are looking for stocks to buy to exploit the lack of “breadth”. A small number of large-cap stocks with significant weightings have propelled upward movement, while many stocks have underperformed despite a rising market. For recent gains to prove sustainable, breadth must broaden to

The Census bureau recently reported U.S. retail sales rose a strong 0.6% in February compared to January, reaching $700 billion. Food services and drinking businesses stood out, up 6.3% YOY. Motor vehicle and parts dealers rebounded by 1.6% since January, and building material and garden equipment saw a 2.2% increase. Meanwhile, electronics and appliance store

Amid the recent AI surge, many investors are scrambling to gain exposure to top AI stocks. Many contenders vie for prominence in this expanding market. While the full extent of AI’s impact on the global economy remains uncertain, forecasts suggest significant GDP contributions from this sector over the coming decade. That underscores the promising prospects

Inflation has been the scourge of American households since the Covid-19 disruption. But investors can attempt to beat rising prices with stocks under $20. While these enterprises may be cheap, they potentially offer plenty of pop. Of course, one of the primary catalysts for low-priced securities is the accessibility factor. After all, not every brokerage

Dividend stocks at the present juncture might seem an overly conservative approach. After all, the market still appears enamored with artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies and other risk-on investment categories. Nevertheless, diversification into passive-income plays could be prudent. Earlier this month, Bank of America reported that investors pulled $4.4 billion from tech stocks in the week ending

Although it’s been red hot over the past year, the trade in artificial intelligence has not burned itself out. In fact, AI continues to be one of if not the biggest catalyst in the stock market. Most securities associated with AI are booming, with some stocks having more than tripled their share price in the last 12 months.  A

Dividend stocks are looking more and more attractive these days. Especially when you consider a given share of some companies can be prohibitively expensive. For example, investors who want to claim ownership over a whole share of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock will have to shell out roughly $900. It isn’t just Nvidia, there are multiple examples

Nvidia (NVDA) kicked off its GPU Technology Conference (GTC) last night with a keynote speech from CEO Jensen Huang. It’s not hyperbole to say that Huang’s speech was arguably the most anticipated speech in the history of AI. And he didn’t let us down. Now, rest assured that we’ll get into those details in a

There are multiple reasons dividend stocks are the first choice for many investors. First, these stocks provide regular cash flows that serve as a passive income source. Further, dividend stocks, in general, are low-beta and provide stability to the portfolio. It’s a bonus for investors if there are undervalued dividend stocks to buy. Once the

Over the last few weeks, Bitcoin (BTC-USD) rallied from about $40,000 to a high of $71,410. All thanks to an upcoming Bitcoin halving on April 20. Better, each previous halving has been followed by a BTC price increase before and after the events in 2012, 2016 and 2020. Plus, we’re seeing far more investors jump into Bitcoin

With 38 states now legalizing the use of medical cannabis, the market for cannabis stocks is better than ever. It is expected to grow tremendously in the years to come. Retailers, property owners, technology, and medicinal providers all exist within this market. They create a high demand for these hot stocks this year. These three

EV charging stocks have been having it rough lately due to the slowdown in the EV market. However, it’s tough to write them off so quickly, especially considering the massive long-term growth potential in the EV sphere. On top of that, once the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates, interest in riskier bets, such as

Augmented reality is a powerful technology that doesn’t get nearly enough attention these days, as it’s the other “A” term — artificial intelligence — that gets more attention from investors. As the mixed-reality headset wars play out in the background, primarily between Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) — two firms that also happen to

The market hasn’t been kind to small-cap stocks. Over the last three years, the Russell 2000 index lost over 11% of its value compared to 30% gains by its larger brethren in the S&P 500. Rampant inflation and rising interest rates hit small-cap stocks far harder than the largest stocks on the market.  Yet, beginning

Some overlooked stocks remain obscure and wait for astute investors to spot them. This happens even in the middle of Wall Street’s busy trading floors and the digital chaos of online investing platforms. Within the rapidly evolving banking industry, where the newest market darlings often make headlines, three unsung heroes are discreetly laying the groundwork

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock is still a worthy investment in 2024 despite the company’s rich valuation. While they face competition in e-commerce and artificial intelligence, Amazon’s soaring earnings and long term growth prospects are second to none.  Their recent cost-cutting measures have fueled impressive growth in the last year and it’s expected to continue. Analysts are
