After Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock soared 166% so far in 2023 as of Nov. 9, I don’t expect the shares to come close to duplicating that performance over the next 12 months. That’s because the valuation is no longer very cheap, while the current ad rebound is, to a large extent, baked into the shares.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a colossus and a member of the much-touted “Magnificent Seven” group of technology companies. So, AAPL stock deserves at least a “B” grade and most investors should feel fine holding some shares. Apple can’t execute perfectly in all areas and the company has to face challenges just like every other business does. Apple has a
Growth stocks have been fairly resilient, considering challenges such as high interest rates and the prospect of a recession within the next twelve months. This resilience notwithstanding, however, make no mistake. There are plenty of growth stocks at risk. In fact, many of the high-profile growth names that have either performed strongly or held steady
Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL,NASDAQ:GOOG) stock may be bouncing back, after the Google parent’s recent earnings letdown, but a continued recovery in the near-term may not be in the cards. Multiple factors may impact share performance, including one that is often overlooked but remains a risk (the antitrust lawsuit filed against Alphabet by the U.S. Department of Justice).
EV maker Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) sustained robust growth in October with 40,400 deliveries. This showed a 10% monthly increase and a 300% surge from October 2022. Despite a 20% rebound from their Oct. 19 low, shares hover around 20% below all-time highs seen this August, when shares hit $46.65. The suppressed valuation may stem from
Chinese EV manufacturer Xpeng (NYSE:XPEV) has been performing well this year, sustained by what appears to be strong bullish sentiment. Monthly deliveries have improved notably for XPEV stock, with September deliveries coming at 15,310, up 81% year-over-year. In Q3, the company delivered 40,008 units, a 72% increase from Q2.

The good news if you own NIO (NYSE:NIO) stock is that it’s only down a little more than 22% year-to-date. You’ve undoubtedly lost money if you bought it at the beginning of the year. However, think of the poor sap who bought it for nearly $16 in early August. They’ve lost half their money in

The current year has been rewarding as compared to 2022 when growth stocks were decimated. As we inch closer to the new year, it’s time to relook at the portfolio and build a strategy to boost returns.

The debate around Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock has been heating up lately as the e-commerce stock nears a potential inflection point. When the pandemic first struck, Amazon was one of the highest-flying stocks, seeing its growth bolstered by tailwinds from global lockdowns, as consumers were forced to buy their wares online.

Crisis will again lead to opportunity for lithium stocks. Sure, crumbling demand for electric vehicles, fears of oversupply, and stalling lithium demand in China have put a recent dent in lithium prices, but don’t let that chase you away.

When most investors think about investing in EV stocks, one name comes to mind – Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). The company that started it all, Tesla remains the gold standard.

Blue-chip stocks offer investors the opportunity to generate stable returns. Most of these stocks are household names that can weather economic uncertainty better than high-growth stocks. However, some stocks hold the designation of “blue-chip” for a bit too long. Just because a company is well-known doesn’t guarantee its stock will go up over the years.
Editor’s note: “The ‘iPhone For AI’: Betting Big On Artificial Intelligence” was previously published in October 2023. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available. Despite all the hype surrounding the internet throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, the internet didn’t really take off until Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone in
When it comes to biotech stocks, I usually like to take a “Goldilocks” approach. This involves investing in biotech companies that have one or more promising drugs in mid-to-late stage clinical trials, as companies with early stage drugs are too risky for me. Unfortunately, a high percentage of drugs that have not yet undergone clinical
