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.

Some growth stocks have reported exceptional earnings that have investors excited about future earnings reports. While some companies report high revenue and rising net losses, others can grow their top and bottom lines. It’s possible to find companies achieving double-digit year-over-year revenue growth that also have high net profit margins. Pinpointing these investments before they
There’s plenty of uncertainty in the market. Despite many forward indicators suggesting the market is doing well—low unemployment and steady wage growth should buffer the market—many aren’t so sure this will be the case a year or longer from now. Accordingly, the search for bulletproof stocks is on. Now, it’s entirely possible the Federal Reserve
Blue-chip stocks are typically known as high-quality, reliable and well-established companies with strong track records of growth and profitability. However, even these market leaders can sometimes face challenges and setbacks that cause their share prices to drop below their intrinsic values. Yet market fluctuations and such price declines create an opportunity for savvy investors to
Demand for EVs remains robust based on delivery numbers by some of the leading firms in the sector. Further, the expectation of rate cuts later this year promises to boost the sagging industry. Yet that does not imply that investors should throw their hard-earned capital at EV stocks indiscriminately. In fact, there continues to be
In the fast-paced world of digital assets, understanding which cryptos to sell remains imperative as Bitcoin (BTC-USD) blows past the $50,000 mark again. Driven by the launch of new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the excitement surrounding Bitcoin’s ‘halving,’ this increase demonstrates a remarkable 200% recovery from previous lows. It indicates strong investor confidence. However, this
Focusing on stocks that offer quick returns can invite more risk in your buys and make for picky selections. The choice can be even more daunting, especially with the current economic fluctuations affecting stock prices and many businesses’ revenue streams. However, these three real estate investment trusts (REITs) showcase a consistent track record of producing
Many prominent Wall Street analysts and well-regarded economists are predicting a potential market downturn, or even a crash, this year. Observers say this is particularly likely if the economy falls into a recession, as some people continue to expect. While these dire forecasts seem unlikely in the near term, one never knows. Equity markets can
Since the start of the war in Ukraine two years ago, the importance of food security has never been clearer. The interconnected nature of food production worldwide has made agriculture a cornerstone of the global economy. As such, many of the once locally-based agriculture companies have become lucrative stock options in the international markets. Yet, with this
In the stock market, an edge of intrigue exists where hidden gems (stocks) await identification by those with a solid, discerning eye. These jewels, obscured from the mainstream hype, hold the fundamental strength of high returns for savvy investors. Three such stocks had the potential within the strategies, and their trajectories were poised for exponential
Tech stocks in the United States sustained a jaw-breaking rally in 2023, with the Nasdaq beating all other indices, accruing a more than 43% return. While stocks largely did not begin 2024 with a great start, the major indices have risen in the past few weeks. Both major indices, S&P 500 and Nasdaq, have almost risen 7% YTD.
There are some great space stocks up for grabs as we enter into March this year. I believe that some of the best investment opportunities lie in this industry. We’re still in the very early stages of seeing its development. Some companies are already making big moves that give promise for great returns for investors.
Electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) makes nice-looking cars, but the price action of LCID stock isn’t nice-looking at all. Sure, the perma-optimists can cherry-pick a positive data point or two, but overall, the bull case for Lucid Group is falling apart quickly. You may have heard from Louis Navellier and the InvestorPlace research staff that Lucid Group’s CEO
Among dividend stocks, the “dividend aristocrats” are the cream of the crop. Owning these stocks offers the opportunity for solid long-term total returns because of the steady, increasing payouts. However, even among the aristocrats, there are some that are more regal than others. This has nothing to do with the amount of years of dividend
There’s no denying that Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is a massive beneficiary of the artificial intelligence boom. With the potential to accelerate productivity, companies across industries have jumped aboard the AI bandwagon. Still, few seem to appreciate what’s under the sector’s hood. For this, I am getting skeptical and have a bearish outlook on AMD
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) remains the focal point of many investors, given its impressive recent performance. These past few months, investor attention has almost entirely been taken up assessing the growth potential of AI stocks, with Nvidia leading the way. The company’s high-powered H100 AI chips and A100 GPUs remain the market standard, and have allowed Nvidia
Penny stocks often get a bad rap, and that makes sense. There are plenty of scams and examples of less-than-exemplary behavior in many of these names. However, it’s also true that picking winners can be very lucrative. Indeed, finding low-priced stocks with explosive upside potential can provide life-changing returns. I believe now is the perfect
Dividend stocks could offer a higher yield and cushion the sudden rise in the VIX (volatility index) that markets have experienced. Be careful not to fall into what the industry calls a ‘dividend trap,’ meaning companies that inflate their dividend payouts to attract investors when they cannot afford to pay these yields. Like a house
The future of the U.S. economy looks promising, reminiscent of the economic growth experienced in the mid-1990s. Recent data on productivity, boosted by advancements in artificial intelligence and the widespread adoption of hybrid work models, suggests a potential lasting boom. Improved productivity not only allows companies to create more with less but also enables higher
The International Energy Agency predicts that “installed battery capacity worldwide will increase tenfold to sixteenfold by 2030.” McKinsey believes that 120 to 150 new battery plants need to be built between 2023 and 2030 to meet the impending demand. If these estimates hold, battery stocks could see incredible upside. Over the last few quarters, electric
