SoFi’s (NASDAQ:SOFI) fourth-quarter results, announced on Jan. 31, were quite impressive, as they showed that the fintech firm is growing quite rapidly and has managed to effectively monetize its popularity among millenials and Generation Z. The fintech’s profitability, however, remains low, while the valuation of SOFI stock is still quite elevated. This is a key
Investors know that the world of biotech stocks is home to a great percentage of opportunities that can triple and quadruple their capital. It’s also fairly easy to identify such stocks using screener tools that can tease out such opportunities. Investors willing to pursue these opportunities are clearly those who have a penchant for risk
Earnings season is still underway, and companies like Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) may not be getting the attention they deserve. Indeed, following the incredible results put forward by tech giants such as Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), the bar has clearly been raised across the board. In the EV sector, investors want to see outsized growth, with each earnings report
Some direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands have been under pressure from rising costs, supply chain disruptions, and increased competition. In the United States and globally, for that matter, interest rates are currently elevated. The effective federal funds rate is around 5.33%, and with inflation accelerating more than analysts predicted in January, the U.S. Federal Reserve does not seem
QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) may be on the way to breakthroughs in 2024, but it’s a long climb before reaching profits and significant revenues. Investors need to tiptoe towards QS, especially those who are risk-tolerant speculators. This is a key part of this QS stock analysis. Grey clouds are overhead because of the company’s financial situation, even with
Some people like to copy the portfolio of legendary investor and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A) (NYSE:BRK-B). However, I encourage everyone to think for themselves. Buffett’s portfolio may include shares of Mastercard (NYSE:MA). Nevertheless, a thorough MA stock analysis will reveal that the shares aren’t necessarily a great value right now. And by the way, Mastercard isn’t ideal
The electric vehicle market is a jungle. Several EV stocks have been competing for the top spot as 2023 ended with a slow grind due to decreasing demands. The Biden administration is also easing up on its EV transition goals, further dampening prospects. Still, the massive government support remains in place, and continued, albeit slower,
Robots have many advantages for companies and for society. Companies are benefitting tremendously from their ability to perform many tasks at a fraction of the cost of humans. Moreover, unlike humans, firms don’t have to worry if robots are working too many hours, if they are satisfied with their positions, or if they will leave
Short squeeze rallies can be massive at the blink of an eye and provides investors with attractive trading opportunities. Currently, there are several deeply oversold stocks that have a high short interest as a percentage of free-float. However, not all names are short squeeze stocks that can skyrocket in quick time. There will be names
Always take advantage of excessive fear in the markets. Look at lithium stocks, for example. Many of the top lithium names were trampled by oversupply issues, and concerns about electric vehicle demand. But you want to use that fear to your advantage, just as Warren Buffet, Sir John Templeton and Baron Rothschild would tell you.
While people tend to avoid price hikes, certain stocks up 100% this year just might provide an exception to the rule. Basically, not even two months have passed by. If these securities are already up by a blistering magnitude, there could be more rewards in store. Put another way, robust strength may beget even more
As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, robotics stands at the forefront of innovation. It can revolutionize industries from manufacturing to healthcare. There’s currently a low concentration rate for robotics in the surgical market. Therefore, a few companies stand out with the potential to turn into multi-baggers. Further, they hold attractive market positions,
In almost every situation, investors should stay away from penny stocks. They’re extremely speculative and they tend to facilitate delusions of grandeur. To be sure, there’s nothing wrong with hope. But hope shouldn’t be a substitute for sound research and due diligence. Still, it’s also possible – in some limited sense – that you miss
Investors have been waiting for renewable energy stocks to live up to their potential. After being beaten down in 2023, many investors are hopeful that 2024 will be a better year. No matter where you stand on the viability of renewable energy sources, they will be part of the mix going forward. And with the
This earnings season has been explosive. Several stocks hit all-time highs. And major indices, like the S&P 500 are at an all-time high. At this pace, I strongly believe the index could see higher highs moving forward. That being said, here are just a few of the hottest S&P 500 stocks you may want to
While targeting the therapeutic side of the healthcare sector can be quite lucrative, nothing matches the excitement of biotech penny stocks. Of course, the excitement goes toward both extremes of the emotional spectrum. This is a good time to remind you of all the reasons you shouldn’t buy biotech penny stocks. The first reason centers
While the toy-manufacturing industry obvious targets young kids, they also enjoy a robust market for kids at heart, thus highlighting the opportunities in toy stocks. Easily, what’s most compelling about this particular topic is the suddenly expanded addressable market. Primarily, an investor would ordinarily consider demographic data to identify upside prospects in toy stocks. After
It’s a wild ride without a doubt but if you want the possibility of robust upswings, space stocks may be the way to go. Fundamentally, it seems that everyone’s attention is turned toward the stars. While the desire for space exploration is rooted in scientific directives, it’d be disingenuous not to acknowledge the geopolitical gamesmanship
Unless a significant portion of today’s factories and industrialist giants are still operating under technology from the Industrial Revolution, today’s global manufacturing and industrial value chain relies on technology to operate and meet the demands of their businesses and customers. That simple fact of reality is inviting you into a massive opportunity ahead. Of course,
Warren Buffett has expressed multiple times that investing in small-cap stocks, or penny stocks, and holding them for years directly leads has been one of the keys to his success. These companies can typically deliver massive percentage returns — if you know how to pick them. Small caps have the potential to outperform the rest
