Stocks to buy

This past week brought more good news for the Democratic Party. Suburban voters in New York state’s 3rd District successfully flipped the Congressional seat previously occupied by expelled former Republican Representative George Santos. Democratic candidate Tom Suozzi enjoyed an impressive almost 8-point victory, defeating GOP challenger Mazi Pilip, receiving just under 54% of the vote.

Cathie Wood stocks make headlines for their potential to be at the leading edge of disruptive technologies and generate high returns. Yet, Wood’s flagship ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA:ARKK) has declined 8% year-to-date (YTD). On the other hand, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 have gained 3.9% and 4.6%, respectively. Now, several of her portfolio companies present

Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) had a rough start when it entered into the artificial intelligence chatbot wars with Bard. Today, however, the GOOG stock outlook looks great, as Alphabet has a new AI chatbot with a subscription plan. Plus, Alphabet’s deal with a well-known social-media business could prove to be a win-win for

Technology companies are one of the stock market segments with the most significant growth and investor attention. The benchmark ETF for the tech sector is the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA:XLK). It has $62 billion in assets under management, and the top three companies within the ETF are Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), and Nvidia

It’s funny to think that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) was once best known for Windows 95. Today, the company isn’t just a legacy tech business; it’s a top-tier contender in cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Truly, the MSFT stock outlook is bright and there are few better picks for 2024, tech-sector or elsewhere. Granted, it may feel like the

Stocks continue to rise and fall based on the earnings reports of the companies behind the securities. It makes for a dramatic time in the market with lots of overreactions occurring both good and bad. For many companies, their earnings report for the final quarter of last year is proving to be a redemption story.

We’ve entered another election year, with President Biden likely to face off once more against former President Trump. The polls currently show a tight race, though Biden’s approval ratings have slipped since his victory in 2020. There’s ample time for that to change before November 2024 – if the economy stays strong under Democratic policies,

It’s always rough to deal with layoffs but if you’re looking at tech stocks to buy from a pure profit standpoint, reduced spending on either non-core units or businesses that just don’t pass muster may be beneficial in the long run. Again, it’s a terrible situation for workers and it’s something that could be increasingly

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

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,

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

Investors could find themselves chasing a caffeine high going into year’s end as the tech sector’s strength looks to spread to other parts of the market. Undoubtedly, some coffee stocks seem overdue for a jolt as consumers look to get through the macro pressures that have hurt their purchasing power. Inflation appears to be on

As we eagerly await rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, there is high optimism in the air. Strong quarterly earnings, low inflation and better expectations for the coming quarter are pushing the economy in the right direction. Several e-commerce stocks beat Wall Street expectations and are highly confident about business this year. Consumers have maintained

Reuters recently reported that UBS (NYSE:UBS) intends to resume share repurchases in 2024, doing as much as $1 billion in buybacks over the next year.  The move is part of the reallocation of cost savings it intends to find from the purchase of Credit Suisse. The integration plan for Credit Suisse includes finding up to

Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) might not stay in the prestigious “Magnificent Seven” or “Mag-7” club much longer. Tesla is out of favor for the moment, and you may be tempted to get rid of your shares. Don’t let temporary sentiment shifts cloud your TSLA stock outlook, though. Indeed, I’d say now is the time to buy what

Even after the breathtaking rally last year, our Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock outlook calls for higher prices in 2024. How is this possible? We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again until it sinks in. You don’t need to sit on the sidelines because you think you “missed out.” As long as there’s an intense demand

With the U.S. economy and jobs market running on all cylinders, the concept of targeting stocks to buy under $15 specifically to overcome the February blues might appear unnecessary. Again, most of the key fundamental metrics point toward the northward direction. Let’s not also forget that we avoided a recession last year. Still, like an

Finding good, bargain-priced stocks is difficult in a market regularly hitting new all-time highs. Although you can buy many cheap stocks, they are cheap for a reason. Broken business models and failed leadership often send stocks into the gutter. The trick is to find businesses where the business only suffers from a temporary setback but

The risk-on sentiment is returning, with the market closing at new record highs daily. That means many investors are steering clear of dividend stocks. This is particularly true of dividend stocks that are trading at or near their 52-week lows. This isn’t intended to be a contrarian article. In fact, it’s the opposite. When looking at

My Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock forecast considers the company’s recently strong second-quarter results. They show the conglomerate is benefiting from both the AI revolution and the rising demand for PCs. These trends will likely continue to boost MSFT stock. Azure and the PC software business will benefit from AI tools, while rebounding PC sales are also
