Following analyst upgrades, downgrades or initiating coverage reports can be exhausting. Wall Street is constantly raising, lowering or reiterating their position on a stock, sometimes changing a price target by just a few cents or dollars.  Yet knowing where analysts think a stock is headed can still be useful. After all, they do have access

Excuse me while I ask a crazy question: Are AI glasses the future of AI? I think they could be. Earlier this week, smart glasses maker Solos announced a partnership with OpenAI to integrate the new ChatGPT-4o AI model into a pair of “AI glasses” set to launch later this year. Sounds crazy. I know.

Stock spinoffs typically don’t do well initially. Unloved by shareholders of the former parent company, often misunderstood by the market and sometimes laden with debt or other baggage the parent no longer wanted to carry, spinoff stocks can take time to find their footing. Yet such strategic investments represent an opportunity for savvy investors. If

At first glance, it seems reasonable to expect Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock to rally this year since it manufactures AI chips like the ARC A770, A750, and A580 lineups priced at an attractive range. However, the stock is down 38% year-to-date in a year that tech stocks are rallying. Intel’s valuation is still high despite U.S.

The electric vehicle industry is in turmoil. On the one hand, EV sales are booming with volumes expected to rise 21% this year. Still, the rate of growth is declining. Fewer new car buyers are electing to choose EVs when purchasing a vehicle.  Pricing is certainly still an issue facing EV stocks but it is

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) plans to incorporate many artificial intelligence features into some of its products this fall. Specifically, the tech giant will provide AI-powered “writing assistance, image creation and editing” assistance, along with increased capabilities for Siri.  The updates will be limited to the “iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, as well as iPads and Macs with M1

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) is trading above $185 per share and breaking all-time highs. On one hand, the solid business fundamentals justify the rapid rise Alphabet stock has enjoyed. However, I’m also avoiding Alphabet stock because it’s unclear how it will do in the artificial intelligence race and the soon-to-be decisions from Federal Trade Commission trials,

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is trading near all-time highs because of the company’s financial blowout year. It breached the $190 barrier after being unable to do so at its peak in 2021 and multiple times this year. With Amazon stock above this resistance, the momentum can keep the stock soaring. However, many are skeptical about Amazon’s valuation.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer was asked about SoFi Technologies (NYSE:SOFI) in a mid-June episode of Mad Money. The veteran investor said he’d have to wait on SOFI stock.  “Right now, that last quarter was not great. I just didn’t like it. And I’m going to have to wait,” Benzinga reported Cramer’s comments on June 17.  I

Following last night’s presidential debate, President Joe Biden has just a 19% chance of reelection. Betting odds show that former President Donald Trump has pulled far ahead. Here’s where things get interesting. It appears that no sector has been more sensitive to which party has presidential power than technology. If, over the next few months,

Known for her appetite for relatively risky tech-based stocks, Cathie Wood has become an icon on Wall Street. The founder of ARK Investment Management, Wood has accumulated a net worth of $220 million and built a reputation owing to her knack for identifying high-potential innovation-focused stocks.  Wood was recognized as Wall Street’s best stock picker

Prospects for interest rate cuts are fueling speculations about which small-cap stocks will be winners when they hit. Because smaller companies don’t have the same financial access as larger stocks, they are forced to borrow money at higher cost, which impacts their ability to grow. More often than not, they will hunker down instead of

Social media is a fast growing market that Goldman Sachs expects to double to $480 billion by 2027. To take advantage of this trend, many invest in the obvious social media stocks like Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) or Meta (NASDAQ:META). However, these companies are trading at all-time highs and there is no way to know if

If you’re reluctant to invest in PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL), that’s understandable. It’s difficult for PayPal to protect its market share in the crowded and highly competitive fintech space. However, a moderately sized portfolio position in PayPal stock could still offer excellent returns over the long term. My previous analysis of PayPal suggested the share price will easily reach $90.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has become the face of artificial intelligence and its stock has responded in kind. Shares are up 200% over the past year and over 800% since the release of ChatGPT, which sparked an AI tsunami. Yet there is a world of stocks that are outperforming Nvidia. While the technology sector provides opportunity with

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) has been an incredible stock to own since its initial public offering in 2002. A $10,000 investment at its split-adjusted $1.16 per share offer price would be worth over $5.3 million today. There have been periods where investors went against the tide. You don’t need to go back far. Netflix stock dropped 73%

It remains a tale of two markets. Some stocks have wind in their sails and are soaring to all-time highs. But others are paddling along and stuck at 52-week lows. In this market, a rising tide is not lifting all boats. Fundamentals and financial results continue to drive performance in the current market. Companies that

When a U.S.-based company gets big and successful, it attracts regulatory scrutiny. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is winning the artificial intelligence tech war but has attracted government watchdogs. It may be the target of a regulatory probe for a while, but Microsoft stock still earns a “B” grade. Don’t sell it if you’re in it for the long haul.

With the world fighting to go green, we need as much lithium as possible. All of which will create substantial opportunities for some of the best lithium stocks to buy. For one, according to Statista, global demand could reach 3.8 million tons by 2035. Two, the International Energy Agency says that based on current electric vehicles and battery storage needs,

You probably know Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) as a social-media platform. Furthermore, in the wake of a recently established partnership, Reddit has a notable artificial intelligence angle. However, after looking at the company’s bottom-line financial facts, investors shouldn’t load up on Reddit stock until they see some improvement. Remember, Reddit just went public in March of this
