For example, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock surged 26% after impressive earnings, while Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock plummeted following its
Lithium demand is improving, and prices are rebounding as a result. Accordingly, investors are perking up as various lithium stocks provide unique opportunities to capture explosive growth in this volatile sector.

Analysts want to hit pause on Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock, saying the software as a service company is overbought as an artificial intelligence play.
