With a few exceptions, healthcare stocks have had a rough go of it in 2023. The Standards and Practices (S&P) 500 Healthcare Index is down 5% year to date, versus a 13% increase in the benchmark S&P 500 index. Most healthcare stocks are down across the board. Pharma companies, health insurers and medical device manufacturers

Business is great at Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), but NVDA stock is looking just a bit ragged. For the first time in years, a move up didn’t hit the old high. The August peak of $493/share was followed by an October peak of $469. But even that looks far off from the $429/share it was trading at

Tilray Brands (NASDAQ:TLRY) presents an intriguing opportunity, especially when looking at TLRY stock in the cannabis sector. Tilray has established itself as a pioneer in the global cannabis and consumer goods sector, with a relatively diverse product line. This Canada-based cannabis company has a presence in North America, Europe and Australia, with a focus on

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has seen its stock price surge more than 20% year-to-date. However, this move follows a significant correction last year tied to the company’s cash burn and dilutive stock offerings, reminiscent of a similar history behind industry juggernauts such as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Rivian currently offers three models, its RS1 and RT1 pickup trucks

Upstart (NASDAQ:UPST) provides a platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline and (hopefully) improve the lending process. Some folks might want to buy UPST stock because they envision a robust future for this type of technology. However, investing in Upstart is something that should be done in moderation, if at all, in 2023. To put

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock had a turbulent year, surging initially but dropping recently due to concerns about its performance and profitability. Shares are down 44% since August, due to somewhat disappointing Q1 results and no profit outlook for the new fiscal year. This has raised concerns about the company’s relatively high valuation. Here’s what you need to

On October 16, Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) celebrated its 100th anniversary. It’s too bad the good news will have little effect on DIS stock. It could use a big boost right now. As for its anniversary, Walt and Roy Disney agreed in October 1923 to create the animated film series “Alice Comedies” under Disney Brothers. Three

This makes investing in robotics stocks a lucrative concept. Robots are present in many elements of our lives. Smart speakers can play music, provide weather updates and turn on the

PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) remains the leader of the fintech space while it continues to increase and is still quite profitable. Moreover, PYPL stock trades at bargain-basement levels and has a new, up-and-coming CEO. Additionally, I believe the Street is overly worried about threats to PayPal’s dominance. Given all these points, growth-at-a-reasonable price (GARP) investors should buy

sThe economy has gone through its fair share of ebb and flow throughout the past year. Concerns are mounting that the economic consequences of the Federal Reserve’s tight monetary policies might intensify in 2024. Investors hope for a “soft landing” for the United States economy and hope to avoid a severe recession. Although no longer

In a previous article, I highlighted how AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock declined a whopping 13% on the same day a key catalyst in the form of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour being brought to the big screen. In many respects, this price action may certainly be considered odd, in light of how staunch retail investor support has

Shares of Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) have lagged the performance of other mega-cap technology concerns year to date. However, with several catalysts forming there is reason to be bullish on the company’s stock. Truly, shareholders got a jolt recently when news broke that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has slapped Microsoft with a bill for $29 billion

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has been on an absolute tear lately, driven by tremendous momentum fueled by the AI hype cycle. However, after this parabolic surge, NVDA stock is starting to plateau, at what I believe is a very high valuation. In my opinion, NVDA stock is unlikely to continue marching higher from here. Now, there’s

Despite analyst optimism, American investors don’t believe Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) can keep up its growth and profit pace. Having said that, what does this mean for LI stock? By conventional measures it seems undervalued. The company expects sales of $10.3 billion this year. The market cap is $34 billion. That’s less than half the price-to-sales

Don’t look now, but Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) shares are nearing 52-week highs. That’s good news for owners of GOOG stock and technology stocks in general. Tech stocks could be back in the saddle. GOOG’s shares are trading within 3% of their 52-week high of $142.38. In the past year, its shares are up nearly 40% and

As many growth-oriented names have experienced solid recoveries so far in 2023, you may be on the lookout for growth stocks to watch. But while there are plenty of trending stocks with exposure to high-growth industries like artificial intelligence (AI) and electric vehicles (EVs), which of these names are in the “Green Zone”?

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) remains a dominant force in the world of tech. When investors think of mega-cap tech stocks, MSFT stock is one that simply has to be in the discussion. In that regard, and considering the stock’s weighting in major indices, it’s likely that most passive investors already have significant exposure to this name.  In

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the world’s largest and most diversified companies, with businesses ranging from e-commerce to cloud computing to healthcare. The company has been growing rapidly in recent years, generating over $538 billion in revenue and $13 billion in net income in the last twelve months. However, volatility and a souring macroeconomic outlook

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) is on the cusp of transforming urban transportation, with the industry’s value projected to surge from $220 million in 2022 to an estimated $1.5 trillion over the next two decades.
