The electric vehicle market has seen strong momentum these past few years, with industry experts expecting it to grow to $951.9 billion by 2030 with a 13.7% CAGR. Strong support from the government for the adoption of EVs has opened up opportunities for investors to look at related sectors. Lithium, one of the components for
In a fiercely competitive arena, Nio (NYSE:NIO) has actually been a pick of mine in the past. The company’s growth potential, in the highly coveted Chinese EV market, remains compelling for long-term investors. There are various demographic and secular tailwinds supporting the company, though Chinese growth concerns have eaten into much of that argument. Additionally,
In an era where luxury transcends mere possessions to reflect a lifestyle, the allure of luxury brand stocks goes beyond aesthetics. The same applies to investments in high-brand companies.

Investors can expose themselves to the 47% annual growth expected from the generative AI market by 2030 through three stocks. The names probably won’t surprise many investors. Simplicity is king, and the AI leaders of today are highly likely to be in control throughout the 2020s. This article advocates for a long-term perspective that is
In the past few years, there’s no doubt that the technology industry has been booming. In 2022, the IT services market size was estimated to be $1.22 trillion and expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2023 to 2030. This tremendous growth can largely be attributed to the demand for generative artificial intelligence and
Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock jumped 25% last Tuesday after the data analytics firm announced a surge in AI-related demand. U.S. commercial revenues rose 70% year over year, driven by a 55% increase in customer count and rising contract values. “AI has radically recalibrated customer expectations for software,” said chief technology officer Shyam Sankar during the company’s
This is the perfect time to consider the Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock outlook. The electric vehicle maker will release earnings on Feb. 21 and follow that up on Mar. 7 by unveiling its newest EV, the R2S. Rivian hinted the quarterly report will be better than expected as it pre-announced it topped production guidance of
Augmented reality is admittedly in its infancy, but we can expect the sector to accelerate as recent innovations bring products to market and (ultimately) drive costs downward. Market value forecasts are a tricky metric to establish, but conservative estimates point to augmented reality being worth as much as $58 billion by 2028 while driving $38
A wave of consolidation is sweeping through the energy sector right now. Since last autumn, a number of billion-dollar takeover deals have been announced that are focused on the Permian Basin situated across parts of Texas and New Mexico. The consolidation comes as oil prices continue to slump and large energy companies struggle with declining
I’ve been sending loud-and-clear signals on China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) this year, and I’m only getting more bullish now. I predict higher prices for LI stock, especially with an upcoming data release. Bullish catalysts for Li Auto include stimulus programs in China and the company’s autonomous driving chip deal with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). Plus, Li Auto is preparing to
Some wide-eyed stock traders might hope that China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) will be the “comeback kid” of 2024. However, after conducting thorough due diligence, our NIO stock outlook doesn’t call for any miracles this year. Indeed, the stock only gets a “D” grade because Nio’s EV-delivery stats show contraction, not growth. In China and elsewhere, a favorable economic
Several positive signs point to potential prosperity as I look at the current financial landscape. The stock market is surging to new highs, with the S&P 500 reaching record territory and the Nasdaq index not far behind. Speculative investments like Bitcoin (BTC-USD) have also been rallying. This shows investors are feeling optimistic about the future. More importantly, key economic
The electric vehicle (EV) market is likely headed toward a slump in 2024. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has warned the EV maker could experience slower growth in 2024. Interest rates remain elevated, and the Federal Reserve does not want to be hasty about cutting them either. Moreover, despite the economy performing better than many had predicted,
Most major tech firms reporting in 2024 have registered upbeat results compared to the prior quarter, recording a staggering 86% EPS beat versus estimates. With quarterly earnings of 2023 nearly out of the way, it might be a good time to consider which overextended stocks to sell. The S&P 500 has soared around 20% in
The U.S. economy is on a positive trajectory under the Biden administration’s high-pressure approach. The country is seeing robust job growth and a historically strong labor market. January brought an unexpected surge of 353,000 new jobs, with 1.4 job opportunities available for every unemployed person, signaling a remarkable revival with manageable inflation levels and flourishing
2024 might be the year space stocks break through years of shakiness and pre-revenue indecision. Already, we’re seeing major companies like SpaceX, Rocket Lab USA (NASDAQ:RKLB), and AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:ASTS) rack up win after win. We’re even seeing companies like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) enter the space race through its Kuiper Systems initiative. But, though space stocks
By now, it’s obvious to everyone that we are in the midst of a rather strong bull market. Powered by the strength of tech, stocks have been climbing nearly continuously since October 2022. As a result, it should not be long before many high net worth investors put more money to work. What’s more, tens
The rally we’ve seen in AI stocks has been incredible to watch. Accordingly, investors who have missed this rally may be eager to get in. Fear of missing out is picking up, as investors pile into high-flying names which continue to surge even higher. However, this has led to stocks at risk of a selloff.
With several analysts beginning to question the sustainability of the current stock market trend, investors should look to blue-chip stocks for stability in case of potential corrections. Investors seeking to increase their portfolio value significantly should focus on companies with proven track records of innovation. Even if a company’s stock suffers during a market downturn,
