Despite analyst optimism, American investors don’t believe Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) can keep up its growth and profit pace. Having said that, what does this mean for LI stock? By conventional measures it seems undervalued. The company expects sales of $10.3 billion this year. The market cap is $34 billion. That’s less than half the price-to-sales

Transportation sure has come a long way since our grandfathers were on the roads. Now, instead of those traditional, gas-powered cars, we’re nearing the potential for flying cars, autonomous vehicles and even further adoption of millions of battery-powered cars. Better, the opportunities in transportation stocks could be worth billions, even trillions in some cases. In
This year has certainly proved itself as a breakthrough year for artificial intelligence. The release of consumer-facing products, such as ChatGPT, have changed the game.

In 1999, General Motors (NYSE:GM) finally pulled the plug on its first mass-produced electric vehicle (EV) of the modern era, the EV1. Battery technologies at the time limited the standard EV1 to a 55-mile range — not enough to cross Los Angeles County on a traffic-free day. An extended 105-mile-range version had its own problems,
Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY), a leader in eVTOL technology, aims to commence commercial passenger operations by 2025. The company’s FAA certification and collaboration with NASA for acoustic impact analysis demonstrate its space exploration connection. Joby Aviation is not just about flying cars; it’s also a space stock with significant potential. Joby Aviation’s partnership with Delta Air
Last year, total military expenditure increased 3.7% on a year-on-year basis to $2.24 trillion. Further, military spending in Europe saw the steepest increase on a year-on-year basis in the last 30 years. This does not come as a surprise as geopolitical tensions escalate. Given several points of friction globally, buying and holding some of the
ChargePoint Holdings (NYSE:CHPT) is growing rapidly, and its growth is likely to accelerate significantly over the medium term and long term. Moreover, I expect its price-sales ratio to increase as the Street becomes less worried about interest rates and focuses more on ChargePoint’s strong growth and future profits. Given all of these points, I expect
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) isn’t just a household name or a metaverse-equipment purveyor. The company is a juggernaut in the fields of social media advertising and generative artificial intelligence (AI).

Don’t look now, but Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) shares are nearing 52-week highs. That’s good news for owners of GOOG stock and technology stocks in general. Tech stocks could be back in the saddle. GOOG’s shares are trading within 3% of their 52-week high of $142.38. In the past year, its shares are up nearly 40% and
Innovation is a key component of most huge stock gains. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) all produced successful innovations that enabled their stocks to soar. Amazon developed its user-friendly online store, Apple created its iPhone, and Alphabet produced its wildly successful search engine. Innovative companies have been great long-term bets, but Wall
September kept up with its tradition of being a tricky month for investors. The choppiness in the market continues to spook investors, compelling them to optimize their portfolios effectively. Furthermore, market experts are making optimistic predictions. So, it’s even more critical for investors to discern the gems from the duds and pinpoint the stocks to

When you’re concerned about an economic downturn, a relatively safe solution is to stick with famous names like Merck (NYSE:MRK). I recommend holding MRK stock, reinvesting the dividend payments and sleeping soundly at night. Believe me, I fully understand the importance of low-volatility investments in 2023’s fourth quarter. Interest rates could stay higher for longer,
Amid an increasingly uncertain macro environment with heightened geopolitical tensions and a sell-off in the broad indices like the S&P 500, it may be reassuring that there are still some safe havens we can fall back on for solid returns. In this case, it’s the emergence of Warren Buffett stocks that may give growth and
Virtual reality stocks flamed out beginning in late 2021, some very dramatically. 2022 was exceptionally tough on all things tech. Rate hikes prompted by rampant inflation caused a swift and about-face for a sector that had been red hot. The hype fell off a cliff, the reality of Fed rate hikes set in, and investor

Dividend assets and fixed-income investing generally provide similar functions to a diversified investment portfolio. Although one might argue that fixed-income has the added benefit of diversification, it doesn’t help diversifying for the sake of it. In fact, I would say that the current state of the bond market dictates a shift away from fixed-income and
