Global sales of fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) rose as much as 31% in 2023, although this growth rate marked a slowdown compared to the robust 60% surge witnessed in 2022, according to Reuters, citing the data from Rho Motion. Hence, many investors still consider EV stocks as a compelling investment opportunity, especially
Steel demand is set to spike, and these top steel stocks are among those best positioned to capitalize on the opportunity—analysts at FitchRatings project steel demand to grow by as much as 30 million global tons.

Earnings season for the fourth quarter of calendar 2023 is coming to a close. Clear winners and losers are emerging from the reports.

Thestart of February saw a bit of a deja vu for regional bank stocks, with New York Community Bank (NYSE:NYCB) shares crashing. Capital One (NYSE:COF) also announced plans to merge with Discover Financials (NYSE:DFS), underscoring the continued industry consolidation. However, periods of volatility often create opportunities. Following the acquisition, speculation of further deals involving other
The allure of risk-averse stocks remains as pronounced as ever, given the current headwinds facing the stock market. This volatile environment and economic indicators clouded by uncertainty pave the way for an investment strategy rooted in caution yet poised for growth. Drawing insights from the GuruFocus Screener, I have handpicked a collection of stocks with
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) blew through the trillion-dollar valuation threshold after reporting its best-ever quarterly results. Yet it’s not the first time the social media influencer has attained a $1 trillion market capitalization. This will have big implications for META stock holders. Meta joined the elite club back in 2021 but that was as good as
U.S. inflation rose unexpectedly in January, fueled by surging rental housing costs, putting a damper on imminent interest rate cuts. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) saw a 0.3% increase, with shelter expenses contributing significantly to the jump. Hence, this situation underscores the importance of inflation stocks, offering investors a strategic hedge against rising prices and
The Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock outlook has become even more bleak after the company revealed its latest earnings. Despite its stronger position compared to Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) and Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN), the company has challenges. The roughly 15% post-earnings slump suggests declining prospects. The question is whether this trend will reverse. Rivian announced layoffs. The company
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock has demonstrated far greater resilience that I suggested in my last article. Earlier this month, I argued Tesla was set to stay on a downward trajectory following the company’s post-earnings plunge. Rather than sinking even lower, shares have found support and experienced a modest bounce-back in price. That said, I wouldn’t necessarily
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) clearly capitalized on the generative AI growth trend during 2023. However, make no mistake, this was anything but a “one and done” event that boosted MSFT stock. Based on the latest headlines, the “Magnificent Seven” component remains poised to level up on last year’s success. This points to Microsoft continuing to deliver top
In the middle of a market rally, QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock took a tumble of late, with QS stock now down significantly from its January peak. Considering the move other Nasdaq stocks have made, this is a stock that’s clearly lacking momentum. The stock has faced downward pressure as investors evaluate the company’s early-stage technology.

It seems like forever ago, but it’s only been a year or two since Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) was widely ridiculed on social media for losing market share to its chipmaker rivals. The future looks more promising for Intel today, however. While we’re not currently prepared to give INTC stock an outright “A” grade, we’ll give it a
The U.S. economy is showing promise for a positive future with a potential productivity boom. Recent data suggests increased productivity due to technological advancements, lower inflation, a surge in innovative entrepreneurship and hybrid work models. This trend could lead to sustained economic growth, higher wages and other positive outcomes. Although confidence may take time to
Fundamentally, the bullish case for acquiring stalwart stocks is a simple one. It’s effectively Wall Street’s version of befriending the biggest, meanest schoolyard bully. We’ve all been in this situation before. As kids, we typically grow at a similar rate to our classmates. However, some kids are built differently, like they’re destined to play middle
While analyst sentiment isn’t the “be all, end all” of due diligence, retail traders should pay attention when consensus picks out a promising stock. Contrarian trades, or going against analyst forecasts, are sometimes lucrative when given enough conviction and research. Still, riding momentum driven by strong ratings of promising stocks is one of the best
A good screener for picking undervalued stocks is the forward price-earnings ratio. Of course, when it comes to growth stocks, it makes sense to look at the price-earnings-to-growth ratio (PEG ratio). I am, however, focused on blue-chip names in this column trading at a valuation gap and could witness a strong reversal. The broad market
