Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) has cemented its status as a leading force in the technology sector with its IT hardware, software, and services. However, the past year has proven to be a rollercoaster ride for Dell’s stock price. After hitting a low of $52.05 in early August 2023, DELL surged to a high of $179.70 by

The United States’ switch from fossil fuels to green energy has been a hot-button issue for years. However, how fast those changes are implemented will depend on the government’s policies. In the U.S., the future of energy policy has proven to be quite divisive. As such, the upcoming election could see a major shift in

There are 58 analysts covering Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock. Of those, 24 still rate it a Buy. Amazingly, the average price target of the analysts is $213.45, 4% below where it is currently trading.  How is it possible 24 of 55 Wall Street analysts have a Buy on the stock and yet, their target prices are

After a weak July jobs report released Friday morning, in which unemployment unexpectedly spiked to 4.3%, Wall Street worries that the U.S. economy may plunge into a recession. On the face of it, those fears seem legit: The S&P 500 dropped 1.84%. The Nasdaq Composite lost 2.43%, knocking the tech-heavy index down more than 10%

The stock market is taking a breather after a 20% run higher this year. According to Fidelity, that was mostly driven by tech stocks, which are up 25% year-to-date. Dig a little deep, though, and we see the S&P 500 is once again mostly driven up by the same forces that allowed the index to

It’s been a while since we’ve heard of the cohort known as FAANG. Since OpenAI kicked off ChatGPT and the generative artificial intelligence boom, it’s been mostly about the Magnificent Seven. Over the past few quarters, though, some members of the Magnificent Seven have been markedly more magnificent than others. And with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stumbling

Amazon’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) share price has tumbled by almost 10% from its peak of $200 set in early July. Investors have taken profits and are rotating into small-cap stocks that will benefit most from lower interest rates. Its earnings report is expected to be released on August 1, 2024, and it feels like a coin toss

For many who rely on the utility of pickup trucks, an all-electric one might not seem the most practical. After all, these trucks are intended as rough and readily affordable utility vehicles with exceptional range due to their large gas tanks and high carrying capacity both in volume and weight. So when Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN)

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a laggard in 2024. While other indices roared higher over the first half of the year, the venerable Dow gained only about half of its peers.  Even though Magnificent Seven components Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) are part of the index because it is price-weighted and not market cap-weighted

Dividend stocks are a must-own component for any investor looking to establish serious wealth. We all know the statistic that the S&P 500 has returned 10.5% annually on average since its creation in 1957. It is one of the reasons the index is considered the benchmark against which we should compare our portfolios. What’s not

Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock is up notably this year thanks to commercial income, which has increased significantly, therefore offsetting its strong dependence on government contracts. Palantir, often under the scanner for its relations with the defense establishment, is now quietly creating quite a reputation within the commercial sphere. One main driver of this expansion is Palantir’s

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is set to report second-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings on July 30th. I expect the chipmaker to post strong results. Wall Street has rewarded the stock due to the explosive growth in artificial intelligence applications and a recovery in the PC market. However, while AMD’s long-term prospects remain bright, I’m taking a

There’s a good-news, bad-news situation happening now with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). It’s getting a lot of coverage in the financial press, but it’s not positive coverage. Still, long-term shareholders should adopt a “This, too, shall pass” perspective and not panic-sell Microsoft stock. Microsoft isn’t to blame for the negative news, unless you fault them for relying

When Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock rolled out its AI-generative search feature named Search Generative Experience (SGE), it was perhaps the biggest change to its Google product ever. On top of being perhaps the biggest change, it is certainly the most controversial. One might wonder what extra usefulness is being added to the user experience (aside

The extended bull market we are in has not been one where a rising tide lifts all boats. The S&P 500 is up 15% year-to-date and is 52% higher since October 2022 when the latest run-up began. While a lot of the gains for the benchmark index can be tied to how well the Magnificent

Leading contract chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) has undeniably been a market darling so far in 2024. The stock’s ascent to an all-time high of $193.47 on July 11 shows its dominant position in the global chipmaking landscape. TSM stock has surged over 50% year-to-date (YTD). It has significantly outperformed the Philadelphia Stock Exchange
