Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) stock is in for more than just a banner year. Reporters and analysts like to say that Artificial Intelligence will replace us all. No company shows that’s a lie like Adobe. Adobe has been helping non-artists turn out stuff that looks artistic since the 1970s. During the last decade it brought its tools
Among the things investors should like about TJX Companies (NYSE:TJX) is its popularity among working-class and middle-class consumers who are looking to save money.

Artifical Intelligence (AI) stocks continue to dominate the discussion for investors. Given the rapid speed these technologies are moving, and the potential that they pack, it’s no surprise that is the case. OpenAI’s ChatGPT platform exploded onto the scene a few months ago. It quickly garnered millions of users in record-breaking fashion. Next thing you

In fact, in this environment of elevated interest rates, stocks with unrealistically high valuations are likely to come back to earth sooner rather than later.

High-yield dividend stocks may be appealing, but when it comes to a long-term, income-based investing strategy, focusing on growth rather than the highest current yields may be the best way to go. After all, plenty of high-yielders can turn into dividend traps. In these situations, a dividend cut/suspension, and/or a worsening of fundamentals sends the
If you’re the type that runs toward danger, these stocks to buy may be right for you. To facilitate mobility, the enterprises on this list feature a market capitalization between $500 million to $2 billion.

Although the concept of gambling on short-squeeze stocks present risks, certain market ideas drive hedge funds crazy. By this statement, I’m referring to companies that speculators believe in their hearts should tumble for various reasons. Nevertheless, they keep attracting speculators on the other side of the trade, hoping for quick profits of their own. On
Many investors have heard the phrase “cash is king” relative to the current banking crisis. But it also has significance for dividend investors. A company’s cash flow, and particularly its free cash flow, is an important indicator for investors trying to determine how safe a dividend payout is. This article highlights seven dividend stocks with
Throughout the pandemic, EV stocks soared on the belief that a paradigm shift was underway in the automotive space. Though that continues to hold true, it’s apt at this time to contemplate which EV stocks might be ripe for selling. A myriad of headwinds, including the economic slowdown, supply-chain constraints, and the dwindling geo-political situation, was
While some investors love putting money down on aspirational (but unproven) enterprises in the hope of eventual growth and profitability, other market participants prefer to focus on value stocks to buy. Typically, these companies already own working enterprises. However, they just happen to be undervalued based on key performance metrics (usually trailing-12-month earnings). For this
In general, biotech stocks are not ideal for conservative investors. The companies in search of the next medical breakthrough are inherently risky. If they fail, their stocks can languish at very low prices… or worse. But if they succeed, shareholders can see outstanding returns. It’s not quite a zero-sum game, but it’s close. That said,
When discussing top green energy stocks, there is one clear leader: NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE). The company operates under two distinct businesses, including an electric utility, FPL, and the world’s largest wind and solar business, NEER.

In many ways, C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock has been a tale of two valuations over the last year. Before artificial intelligence became the latest fad due to the public’s fascination with ChatGPT, the valuation of AI stock was quite attractive.

Generally, investment in quality growth stocks translates into returns that beat the index by a big margin. It’s a bonus to find growth stocks with dividends. Also, for blue-chip stocks, dividend growth is steady and can be around 3% to 5% annually. For growth stocks that offer dividends, growth is likely to be aggressive. It would not be
Shares in chip maker Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) were hammered throughout 2022, with INTC stock staying on a downward trajectory during the first two months of this year. As I have discussed previously, this was due to two factors. First, the company’s poor financial performance.
