On Dec. 1, I argued that SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock was a buy. Mainly, because the market’s near-term concerns about SOFI stock had resulted in shares falling to a price that was more-than-reasonable compared to this neobank’s long-term prospects. Soon after laying out the bull case, sentiment for SOFI shifted rapidly. Within weeks, shares surged

The surge in electric vehicle (EV) stocks, particularly undervalued EV stocks, is as palpable as ever. This booming sector, bolstered by countries offering incentives to boost EV adoption, is not just about environmental stewardship, but represents a nexus of innovation and advanced technology.

In a fiercely competitive electric vehicle manufacturing industry, Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) faces hurdles in selling vehicles and achieving profitability. Consequently, RIVN stock may be exposed in 2024, potentially relinquishing recent gains.  Though Rivian has seen its stock price rally roughly 50% off of this year’s lows, it’s still trading well below its previous meme-cycle peak.

It’s fair to say the market is warming up to the potential lithium metal battery startup QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock holds.

If you’re seeking exposure to the cybersecurity and artificial intelligence market, you may be tempted to load up on Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) stock.

2023 proved to be a wild year, as many investors’ top-performing stocks quickly swirled down the drain amid higher interest rates and tightened economic conditions. But, against all odds, the market outlook improved rapidly in early fall before kicking off an early start to the Santa rally. While it’s too early to say for sure,

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) shares have been holding steady at around $7 per share since the start of the month, but as I recently argued, another near-term selloff for QS stock remains very possible.

Lithium producers and lithium stocks have been badly hit as Chinese lithium prices plunged an incredible total of about 75% between November 2022 and November 2023.
