Everyone’s definition of “consumer stocks” is different. Strictly speaking, I would say that companies operating in the consumer discretionary sector are the best examples of consumer stocks. However, others in the industry might suggest that consumer staples companies are also to be included in the larger group of constituents that are consumer stocks. When selecting
Investors have been on a roller coaster ride for the past four years. One of the longest bull markets in history was brought to a screeching halt by the global pandemic. The S&P 500 lost over one-third of its value in a matter of a few weeks. Yet immediately afterward, the popular benchmark index rocketed
As the market hits new peaks, it’s easy to get swept up in the euphoria that surrounds blue-chip stocks. These bastions of the financial world are often seen as safe havens, reliable performers with a proven track record. However, not all blue-chips are created equal, and some are facing headwinds that could lead to a
The world came to a standstill on July 14th after Donald Trump was nearly killed in a failed assassination attempt. A bullet grazed his ear but he rose triumphantly in front of his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The following day, shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ:DJT) rose by 49.56% to hit an intraday
Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) is well-known as a leader in 5G semiconductors, but it’s also a chip stock that lags behind many of the top names in this sector — most notably Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). The company powers the sort of data throughput and connectivity we all rely on with its advanced chips and RF solutions. In 2023,
With the odds of former President Donald Trump winning November’s election rather high, I’m much more upbeat on the outlook of Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) and Palantir stock than I have been in recent years. However, given the huge valuation of the shares and the Street’s mixed views on the name, I remain cautious nonetheless. Trump’s
Gold stocks are the ultimate hedge against inflation. While the recent rally has put the top names in the spotlight, plenty of stocks flying under the radar show massive potential. Before diving into the gold stocks to invest in, let’s understand why gold serves as a good hedge against inflation. As one of the oldest
While we’re eagerly waiting for an interest rate cut, one must remember that there is no certainty when it comes to government decisions. Several factors come into play, and the policymakers will not announce a rate cut until they are certain about the inflation level. If a rate cut happens, the economy will improve and we
Investors have had a healthy dose of skepticism about energy stocks over the past year. A sluggish recovery in China has muddled the demand picture. However, Brent crude has stabilized between $75 and $90, a profitable price for energy stocks. At the same time, demand for natural gas, particularly liquefied natural gas, is rising due
This has been a bad year for clean energy stocks. It has destroyed many investors’ hopes of a shift to green energy worldwide. Interest rates remain high, pushing investors to look for better returns in other segments. As a result, clean energy is having a difficult time finding relevance to investors. While clean energy still
It could be quite beneficial to invest in personalized nutrition stocks for this month in July. Some applications in the personalized nutrition market are now using artificial intelligence and machine learning, or ML, to provide consumers with more targeted and therefore better advice on their diet. New algorithms and AI are being designed and individual
Many investors flock to high-yield dividend stocks because they offer a simple premise. You can put your money into a stock and generate high cash flow that gets treated more favorably when it’s time to file taxes. Some high-yield stocks have higher rates than high-yield savings accounts, but high-yield doesn’t mean that a stock presents
Investors eyeing growth should consider top uranium stocks. As AI and tech demand high energy, the U.S. power grid may struggle. Despite the efficiency of advanced technologies, substantial energy consumption (and incredible growth on this front) is unavoidable. Uranium’s energy density makes it a crucial power source for humanity’s future needs. Notably, Kazakhstan’s plan to
There’s a rotation going on the stock market. The magnificent seven tech stocks and various AI names have started to dip in recent weeks. Meanwhile, long-forgotten smaller-capitalization and value stocks have begun to rally. This shift in the market forces has reinvigorated a great number of meme stocks, with many names posting sharp rallies in
Tesla‘s (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares suffered severe losses in the first quarter and much of the second before rallying in recent weeks. Investors became more bullish about Tesla stock in hopes that the company would be able to pull off a Q2 earnings beat and show improved profitability. But the earnings report on July 23 contained more
An exciting segment within the equities space, augmented reality stocks center on a mainline catalyst: the prospect for tremendous growth. According to Grand View Research, the global AR market reached a valuation of $57.26 billion last year. By 2030, experts project that the segment could expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39.8%.
The recent rotation out of tech stocks has only made the decline in some names worse. Already battered and bruised, many of the most disliked tech stocks have fallen sharply since the beginning of July as investors shift capital into value stocks and small-cap securities. This has worsened an already bad situation. Even before the
In my previous Rivian article, I emphasized my bearish stance on Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) because of a number of factors, such as diminishing EV demand and skepticism of this stock’s long-term value. Down 90% from its IPO, RIVN stock recently surged as a result of some key catalyst forming. Now, the question is whether these
The Russell 2000 index tracks the performance of small-to-mid capitalization stocks. If anyone has been watching this captivating index, they would have seen a stark divergence between small-to-mid-cap and large-cap returns. As an example, the Russell 2000 rose 5.2% in the first quarter, yet the S&P500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite had rallied 10.2% and
The U.S. equities rally seems to be fizzling out. Over the past five days, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has tumbled 4.3%, while the S&P500 has fallen by a smaller 2.4%. Anyone familiar with historical market movements would understand that, towards the end of July and into August, U.S. equities typically post a string of losses.
