Investors are aware that the same pressures facing the automotive industry also affect the aviation industry. The environmental impact of burning fossil fuels to power transport has come under scrutiny for both. Therefore, electric aviation startups are beginning to garner the attention that electric vehicle (EV) firms have, and investors have grown acutely interested in

Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock hit a peak early this month after announcing earnings, at over $46 per share. Since then, shares of Li are down 14%. Li stock bulls may be asking why. I offered some glib answers last week. China’s recovery is unstable. Many American investors fear its government. But there’s more going on under

Let’s be perfectly honest. Many traders had never even heard of American Superconductor (NASDAQ:AMSC) stock until Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk brought up the topic of electricity shortages. Suddenly, AMSC stock was headed for the moon – but don’t buy any shares until you’ve conducted your due diligence on American Superconductor. Headquartered in Massachusetts, American Superconductor

Yiren Digital (NYSE:YRD) is up by nearly 75% year-to-date. Over the past twelve months, YRD stock has gained by more than 134%. With such a strong performance, many questions emerge. For starters, what’s the story with this China-based fintech firm? While not an obscure stock per se, admittedly it is not one of the most

Buying dividend stocks can be tricky. Oftentimes, stocks that pay exorbitantly high dividends have underlying financial problems, and their share price is languishing. The dividend is used as a carrot to keep shareholders hanging on in what is known as a “dividend trap.” This is a situation best avoided. That said, there are a number

From early to mid-August, shares in Facebook and Instagram parent Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) experienced a slight pullback in price. However, in more recent trading days, META stock has started to bounce back. As of this writing, the tech giant’s shares are back to the $300 price level. With this, if you so far haven’t added

August has been a volatile month for the stock market. Corporate earnings, a rise in bond yields, and a deepening economic correction in China have conspired to send all three major U.S. indices down about 3% over the past month. Amid the downturn, there are still some clear winners among the top growth stocks to

Since offering a downbeat forecast early this month Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock is down. AMD has a market cap of $174 billion, about 7.3 times revenue. Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) dominance in the cloud, it seems, leaves AMD with only leftovers. Despite this, analysts like AMD stock almost as much as they do Nvidia, where sales

Overhyped stock picks can be tough to spot because people can get caught up in the possibilities. Let’s face it, Wall Street analysts can get a bit exuberant with their forecasts. They love drawing straight lines that rise ever higher. Just look at the estimates assigned for any new, trendy industry.  The same goes with

Archer Aviation Inc (NYSE:ACHR) holds a $1.78 billion market cap as of August 21, 2023, ranking in the 70th percentile of Aerospace & Defense industry. Archer lacks a significant price-earnings ratio due to negative earnings over the past 12 months, with zero revenue and no profit margin. Analysts project an adjusted earnings of -$1.236 per

Are you willing to give a chip champ a chance? At least one hedge-fund luminary bought a big chunk of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock not long ago, so perhaps there’s more upside in store. On the other hand, value-focused financial traders might be reluctant to take a share position in AMD now. Advanced Micro Devices,

Finding quality long-term tech stocks is a proven way for investors to grow their portfolios over time. However, it’s not easy being a buy-and-hold investor these days. After a market that was overwhelmingly bullish for 15 years, some long-term investors are experiencing true market volatility for the first time.   Sure, there was that time

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) has been around for quite a while. Yet, the company continues to test out new concepts in technology products. Consequently, Meta Platforms has a mix of opportunities and challenges in 2023. However, when all is said and done, it’s still smart to own META stock. Some people are distracted by the idea of

C3.AI (NYSE:AI) stock had revenue of $72.4 million for the quarter ending in April. A year earlier, before the AI hullaballoo began, sales were $72.3 million. Losses have been averaging $60 million per quarter. Almost as much money gets lost as comes in. It’s a poor man’s Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR). Investors are now paying $33 per

Insider stock purchases are notable because they signal confidence in the company. So, investors should pay attention if an executive at Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) made a large-scale share purchase. This, along with Intel’s ambitious sales outlook, are reasons to consider INTC stock now. As we’ll see, Intel’s most recently released quarterly results weren’t perfect. There are notable

If Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock suffers from geography. If it were an American car company, it would be worth $150 billion. Imagine. Sales tripled year-on-year in the second quarter. Profits grew even faster. The company delivered 32,575 vehicles in June alone. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) China had 74,212.  But Li Auto is a Chinese company. Thus, its

With the 2023 NFL season set for kick-off, keep an eye on sports gambling stocks. As DraftKings’ CEO Jason Robins recently noted, “It’s about to be the most important time of year seasonally for us. We have fall coming up with the NFL, the college football calendar and the NBA. This is when we acquire

Peruse the cesspool of the Internet long enough and you’ll come across admonitions to ignore Wall Street upgrades or more simply, stocks that analysts love. These fools and charlatans don’t know what they’re talking about, keyboard commandos proclaim. While analysts are humans and are subject to errors, they can be incredibly valuable, too. First, they

Despite their potentially high growth potential, there are also a handful of quality lithium stocks that pay dividends. Buying these companies may be an effective way for some investors to maximize their total return, via share price appreciation as well as annual dividends. It’s clear that the clean energy transformation has just gotten started. Governments

The narrative around the strength of the consumer economy is, simply put, nonsense. The reality painted by retail stocks, particularly the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSEARCA:XRT), is quite different. Does this look like a chart that is in a “new bull market?” Man – that new bull market in retailers is really something. $XRT pic.twitter.com/c9baCY2Prc
