Wind and solar will continue to get the lion’s share of the headlines as it relates to the world’s clean energy transition. However, it may also be time for investors to consider investing in clean water stocks as part of a balanced clean energy portfolio.   Concerns about water quality will drive the growth in

Over the past few years, Amazon’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) performance has been a roller-coaster ride. AMZN stock plummeted by 50% from January to December 2022 as market concerns grew about the impact of inflation and potential interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. However, in 2023, the stock has been on fire, substantially undoing a big chunk

Among electric vehicle stocks, Nio (NYSE:NIO) is one that makes big moves, on news both directly and indirectly tied to the China-based EV maker’s potential prospects. A prime example of this is with the reason behind the latest spike in price for NIO stock. Already trending since the start of the month, NIO stock made

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), a tech giant globally known for its robust portfolio of services and products, has had a remarkable surge in its performance. We’ve all heard about the “Magnificent 7,” and it’s clear that MSFT stock owners have meaningfully outperformed relative to the S&P 500. Microsoft’s financial health has been consistently robust, with the company

In the modern age, people are ready to get excited about flying car industry stocks.  Excitement continues to build around flying car stocks following recent positive news in the sector. California startup Alef Auto got FAA certification to test its Model A vehicle. That vehicle could become the first vehicle that can both fly and

Get ready for an unpopular opinion. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a darling of the market, which is fine to a certain extent. Yet, perhaps it’s too much of a darling now. Because so many of Wall Street’s experts are ultra-bullish and have outsized expectations for Nvidia, this would be the right time to reduce your exposure to

Shares of AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) rose as much as 67% on Friday after Delaware courts denied a settlement for a planned merger of AMC’s Preferred Stock (NYSE:APE) with its common issue. At first glance, this seems like excellent news to common AMC shareholders. A merger between the two share classes would have torpedoed AMC’s stock

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) CEO Lisa Su has achieved almost heroic status. Moreover, AMD stock has rallied sharply in 2023 so far. Yet, not every expert on Wall Street is bullish about Advanced Micro Devices (commonly abbreviated as AMD). Ultimately, it’s smart for investors to get both sides of the story and maintain a reasonable

Artificial intelligence is the talk of the town right now. Naturally, many stocks in the AI space have seen valuations grow, as productivity benefits flow downstream. The higher demand that corresponds to these benefits creates greater demand, and an upward spiral for investors. Indeed, the rally we’ve seen in many AI stocks is not unjustified. However,

In 2023 Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock has gone from being the cheapest of the Cloud Czars, on a price to earnings basis, to the second most valuable. Its PE of 38.38 on July 18 was narrowly ahead of Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), which was at 38.18, and well ahead of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), at 32.78. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL)

Prior to 2023, many financial traders had never heard of enterprise artificial intelligence company C3.ai (NYSE:AI). Then, the machine-learning boom got underway and AI stock rallied quickly. That’s exciting, but it’s important to weigh the bullish and bearish sides of the argument if you’re considering investing in C3.ai. C3.ai was deeply immersed in the machine learning industry before

The bear case for SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) has long been based upon valuation-related concerns. Using traditional valuation metrics, SOFI stock appears pricey to more value-conscious investors. In their view, SoFi seems more like its “old school” banking rivals than it does to other more tech-driven companies in the fintech space. Earlier this month, a sell-side

Up well over threefold since January, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has not only become one of the top-performing, most talked-about stocks. NVDA stock has also become a name that is difficult to figure out. Excitement about, and initial strong results from, booming demand for generative artificial intelligence chips are the main reason behind this semiconductor stock’s jaw-dropping

Those who track me on Twitter (@leadlagreport) know I often use colorful language in describing Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), a leading player in the graphics processing unit (GPU) market. NVDA stock has skyrocketed, with its market capitalization surpassing the $1 trillion milestone. Nvidia’s success is primarily attributed to the rapid growth and adoption of AI technologies, where

If there’s one thing that the market dislikes, it’s uncertainty. And, there’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) in 2023. Sure, GME stock could surge in the year’s second half, but it could also crash. In the final analysis, the best policy to to just watch and wait from the sidelines. Could

The current bull market is ablaze with money to be made right now. After a brutal decline in 2022, stocks have come roaring back in the last eight months, led by a resurgence in technology stocks. In 2023, the Nasdaq is already up an incredible 40%, while the benchmark S&P 500 has gained 20%. The

In most, if not all, of my prior articles on QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock, I’ve taken a bearish view. However, ahead of the electric vehicle battery company’s upcoming earnings release, I’m taking a second look at the situation. Don’t get me wrong. QS remains very speculative and at risk of a sharp price decline if the

Investors have been piling back into growth stocks — perhaps somewhat begrudgingly — as the group continues to gravitate higher. These promising growth stocks have become top stocks to buy as they continue to rise higher. Fear of missing out — or “FOMO” — may be driving some of these gains, although the stocks do

Investors remain confident in Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock’s strong position in the generative AI race, despite US-China tensions. NVDA stock has risen 3% in July, outperforming the Nasdaq Index, and has surged 200% this year, reaching a market cap over $1 trillion. While investors are bullish on Nvidia’s potential, there are several key points they should watch

Since its inception, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been defying norms and pushing boundaries. Its ambitious mission to “accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy” has propelled it to the forefront of the global EV industry. However, the TSLA stock narrative extends beyond its prowess in EV manufacturing. Its foray into areas such as autonomous driving technology,
