In the bustling world of investing, there’s a hidden gem often overlooked by many: under-the-radar dividend stocks. These offbeat opportunities, tucked away from the common market, provide an amazing mix of stable income and room for growth. These income stocks are not as flashy or attention-grabbing as popular tech companies or rapidly growing startups, but

This year was certainly one for the books for Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock. The graphics processing unit maker seized upon artificial intelligence like no one’s business and didn’t let go. NVDA stock soared 237% in 2023 and was the best-performing stock amongst the so-called Magnificent 7 stocks. Yet 2024 might be more of a challenge. Investors

Electric vehicle battery startup QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock is heading into the new year in fine style, up 25% for the year. QuantumScape is shipping prototype batteries to customers, with one customer surpassing design targets. Yet there are clouds around all those silver livings. QuantumScape has sufficient funds for the next few years but will require

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is a well-known player in the U.S. cyber-defense industry. The company won’t easily dominate the global cybersecurity market. Despite the high price, we still rate PLTR stock a “B” for its potential rally in 2024. Palantir Technologies is a favorite among momentum-focused technology stock investors. For instance, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest purchased over 1.5 million shares of Palantir

For now, Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) chips, which other companies use to create AI, are considered vastly superior to those of NVDA’s competitors. As a result, Nvidia can charge exorbitant amounts for those chips. But the AI chips of one of Nvidia’s major competitors, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), appears to be starting to gain great respect in the marketplace,

The biggest story in AI right now is one that hardly anyone is talking about. Yet, it involves the world’s richest men, the world’s most powerful companies, and the world’s fastest computers. It is the highest stakes story in AI yet. It will determine the winners and losers of the AI Boom in 2024. And

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock has been on a tear thus far in December. After making a relatively big move during November it continues its assent. As a result, this AI chip contender has hit a new 52-week high. To many, it may seem as if shares could keep rallying, with the stock re-hitting its

The outsized returns of the S&P 500 this year were driven by the returns of just a handful of stocks. Remove the so-called Magnificent 7 from the equation and the benchmark index’s performance was relatively flat. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, on the other hand, enjoyed a much more broad-based movement higher. This is what

It’s been an interesting year for enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) company C3.ai (NYSE:AI), to say the least. Even though the market was obsessed with machine learning in 2023, AI stock made big moves in both directions. This is likely to persist in 2024, but if you can handle the ups and downs, then feel free to take

The trillion-dollar market cap club is currently dominated by the tech sector. But will two traditional retail giants eventually find themselves among this rarefied crowd? Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Costco (NASDAQ:COST) still have a ways to go before they approach a trillion dollars. And they remain dwarfed by e-commerce leader Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which has a $1.6

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) seems like it should be doing better than it is. Sales are growing, it’s developing new, specialized chips for its cars and it has an innovative battery-swap business that it might just spin off into a stand-alone company. In China’s fast-growing EV market, that should spell success —

Among AI stocks, both high-profile and more under-the-radar, Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) continues to be one of the top choices. Those bearish on PLTR stock chalk up its strong 2023 performance to “AI hype.” Yet while it’s easy to see why they jump to this conclusion, a substantive bull case can still be made. The use

How can SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock go from hated in 2022 to loved in 2023? It’s all about central bank policy and the market’s expectations. In the end, SoFi Technologies will likely benefit from more accommodative monetary policy. However, the ultra-efficient market already knows this, and many of SoFi Technologies’ investors may have jumped the gun. It’s

For Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock, 2023 has been a year of inflating expectations. Shares are up 241% this year. The company’s market cap is now $1.23 trillion. That of the “Magnificent 7″ have replaced the reign of the “Cloud Czars”,” with Nvidia and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) added to the mix. But every technology, and every tech hype

Everybody and his uncle wants to invest in artificial intelligence (AI) nowadays. Yet, many stock traders are unaware of the huge opportunity with an AI-adjacent technology, quantum computing. IonQ (NYSE:IONQ) IONQ stock offers pure-play exposure to quantum computing, but this stock isn’t appropriate for every investor. IonQ is headquartered in Maryland, and the company develops

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

There’s no doubt about it. It’s been a great year to invest in Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), the most magnificent of the “Magnificent Seven” companies. However, Nvidia isn’t the only artificial intelligence (AI) processor arms race competitor. Indeed, a comeback contender in the AI chip industry should make eager NVDA stock buyers think twice.           

Buy low, sell high. It’s an investing mantra drummed into our heads from the moment we start buying stocks. But it’s not easy to do. When our stocks start falling, the first inclination for many investors is to sell. We no longer see them as turnaround stock picks. These are the biggest stock losers that

Yahoo Finance recently named Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) its 2023 Company of the Year. Thanks to its duo of weight-loss drugs, Ozempic and Wegovy, it is now the most valuable company in Europe by market capitalization. Given the demand for these drugs, it could repeat as one of the top stocks for 2024.  As Yahoo Finance

There are some indications that Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) Cybertruck could become a huge hit that will also cause the demand for the other vehicles to soar for TSLA stock. However, the EV’s specifications are also less impressive than what CEO Elon Musk originally promised, while the Cybertruck is facing serious competition from Rivian’s (NASDAQ:RIVN) R1T and
