Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) initially focused on serving the defense and intelligence sectors but has since expanded its customer base to include various industries such as healthcare, energy, and finance. PLTR stock provides AI and ML-based data analytics tool for a number of businesses. While Peter Thiel’s company has certainly made impressive strides to improve profitability and

If QuantumScape (NYSE:QS), a solid-state battery producer, successfully brings these batteries to the market, investors might be in for some significant profits. Indeed, solid-state batteries have been touted as the future. These alternatives to traditional lithium-ion batteries are safer, can charge faster, and hold more charge (leading to more range).

Nio (NYSE:NIO) recently delivered solid 2023 delivery numbers and January performance. However, the market appears to remain relatively cold for this high-potential, high-risk Chinese EV maker. Geopolitical risks remain, and the fact that NIO stock is a U.S.-listed ADR provides its own set of headwinds. That said, the company is growing, and growing fast. And

Once space was no longer the sole province of government but was opened to private enterprise the possibility for real entrepreneurship was born. It is impossible to not be awed by watching a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket returning to the launch pad for reuse.  The possibility of real space travel and space tourism has never

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m an Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) fan. My wife and I own at least 10 Apple products, with more to come, I’m sure. However, regarding AAPL stock, I’m afraid the company’s car debacle is a sign it might be too scared to fail.  This reluctance is not the hallmark of

The fourth quarter (Q4) shined bright for hedge funds, marking it a standout period in the investment realm.

The robotaxi industry looks like it has more legs than the electric vehicle (EV) market at this point. Where EV sales are falling and the companies producing them are in decline or failing, the electric vertical take and landing (eVTOL) industry is ramping up. Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) looks every bit the industry leader it is.

Battery stocks fuel the green tech revolution, heralding an investment gold rush.

Don’t look now, but Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang is the 20th wealthiest person in the world with a net worth of $69.7 billion, up $25.7 billion in 2024 due to the 64% year-to-date return of NVDA stock. Except for Mark Zuckerberg, Huang’s increase in 2024 is the second highest, $4.5 billion ahead

My stance on Chinese EV maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock has changed, and I now see more relative upside for the company’s competitors, looking at this space more broadly. However, there are reasons investors may consider this stock an excellent long-term play in this market. I was once bullish on Nio, and I can understand the

Earnings season for the fourth quarter of calendar 2023 is coming to a close. Clear winners and losers are emerging from the reports. The stocks behind them react dramatically to the results and investor portfolios get violently jostled by the prints. While Wall Street and Main Street were surprised by many of the reports, overall

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock has demonstrated far greater resilience that I suggested in my last article. Earlier this month, I argued Tesla was set to stay on a downward trajectory following the company’s post-earnings plunge. Rather than sinking even lower, shares have found support and experienced a modest bounce-back in price. That said, I wouldn’t necessarily

There are lots of overextended stocks out there falling short thanks to dividend payments that are too good to be true. The internationally known pharmaceutical company Bayer (OTCMKTS:BAYRY) is a great example of this as the company recently announced a 95% dividend cut on Feb. 20.
