Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) got the wind knocked out of its sails last week when KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Brandon Nispel downgraded AAPL stock from Overweight to Sector Weight, the equivalent of Buy to Hold. It wasn’t a big deal as Apple finished the week up nearly 4%. However, since hitting a 52-week high of $198.23 at

If you’re a long-term investor – as in, you like to keep stocks for five years or longer – then you’ll probably do just fine holding Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock. However, right now it’s not a risk-free investment. Even if Apple has been “magnificent” in the past, the company’s near-term future success isn’t assured. As we’ll discuss,

The Nasdaq index continues to be the big winner this year, having risen 27% since Januar7. It also trounced the performance of both the Standards and Practices (S&P) 500 index and the Dow Jones industrial Average. The outperformance shouldn’t come as a surprise given that the Nasdaq is weighted heavily towards technology stocks. All of

With so many prospective EV contenders, it can be difficult to gauge which companies will emerge successful over the next decade. For example, Lordstown Motors (OTCMKTS:RIDEQ) forecast production of 98,800 vehicles between 2021 and 2023 in its 2020 investor presentation. In reality, Lordstown produced only 31 vehicles for sale as of January and filed for

Blink Charging (NASDAQ:BLNK) stock manages one of the largest U.S. EV charging networks, with over 66,478 stations, including 50,167 in the Blink Network. However, there are red flags. The company is unprofitable, and burning through a significant amount of cash. In its latest quarterly report, Blink reported a $41.5 million net loss on $32.8 million

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock is a prominent player in the artificial intelligence sector, specializing in enabling the creation and deployment of enterprise AI applications, a critical component for the AI industry’s expansion. The company experienced strong demand reflected in Q1 revenue of $72.4 million, showing year-over-year growth but falling short of last year’s 25% increase. The

While not making a full return to pre-pandemic prices, one can say that United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) stock was flying high until recently. Like other airline stocks, shares in this legacy carrier bounced back sharply in late 2020 and early 2021. At first it seemed as if investors were prematurely pricing-in a recovery. But as the

This year has been all about breakthroughs in tech. We learned to embrace artificial intelligence (AI) and are now embracing 5G, augmented and virtual reality, quantum computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). The sooner you adapt to the latest developments in tech, the better it is. There was a time when the internet was

As dividend stocks are a great choice for investors looking for portfolio income and steady returns, you may be interested in the top dividend stocks to watch. But beyond factors like yield and dividend growth, you may want to consider names in this category that are also in the “Green Zone.” TradeSmith offers investors valuable

Archer Aviation (NASDAQ:ACHR) stock has been getting a lot of attention. Companies like this that are selling the future can’t tell investors exactly when the future will arrive. Archer is a leader, along with Joby Aviation (NASDAQ:JOBY), in developing electric vertical takeoff and landing craft. These can operate like a helicopter but use quieter, non-polluting

In the AI arms race that has been building in financial markets, investors have honed in on a few specific names to ride this wave higher. The stock that has gotten an increasing amount of interest of late is Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock. This surge in interest has led PLTR stock to more than double on

Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) is headquartered in Canada, but TLRY stock would certainly benefit from federal-level cannabis decriminalization in the U.S. This type of legislative reform won’t happen overnight, however. It’s still fine to hold a small stake in TLRY stock, but be realistic with your expectations and consider extending your investment timeline. Few stock sectors are as

I’ll admit, I like Airbnb’s (NASDAQ:ABNB) business model of facilitating short-term room rentals. It’s a brilliant concept, but cautious investors should still wonder whether ABNB stock has gotten ahead of itself in 2023. A share-price pullback is likely. Prospective Airbnb shareholders should watch, wait and be patient. As we’ll see, Airbnb’s rapid growth as a business

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock is providing lots of entertainment, but not necessarily in its theaters. If you can’t beat ’em, is now the time to join ’em? Indeed, considering short sellers’ profit margins in recent years relative to those with long positions on AMC stock, it’s clear who’s ultimately winning this war. An impressive meme stock

The surge in long-term treasury yields above 4.75% at the start of the quarter signals optimism about the economy. It also has positive implications for microcap stocks. When treasury yields rise, it often reflects investor confidence in economic growth. Furthermore, this prompts a shift of capital from safer assets like bonds to riskier investments such

A handful of growth stocks have led the market gains achieved so far in 2023. The rally that characterized the first half of 2023 was uneven and highly concentrated in fewer than 10 technology stocks. Each of these has some exposure to artificial intelligence (AI). While the hype surrounding AI died down throughotu the summer,

Outside of a bullish sell-side rating issued for QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock on Sept. 18, things have been pretty quiet with the EV battery developer over the past two months. However, a few weeks from now, the company is expected to release its latest quarterly results. Chances are there will not be any big surprises with

It’s the biggest news for video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock in months. As you may have heard, GameStop has a new chief executive. Is this good or bad for GME stock? The answer is: It’s complicated, as the new CEO is controversial and GameStop’s journey to financial health is far from over. GameStop became the

Taylor Swift is a phenomenon that has captured the attention of millions around the world. But importantly, Swift has captured the wallets of these people as well. In fact, she’s been so successful that many have started referring to her business acumen as “Swiftonomics.” The Eras Tour grossed some $2.2 billion — just in America.
