Back in December 2023, when the market was pricing in six or so rate cuts, Apollo Asset Management’s co-president Scott Kleinman had a more contrarian view: He said he’d be betting against any rate cuts in 2024. That call so far has paid off. But higher-for-longer rates haven’t necessarily been a tailwind for the private-equity industry as
In May, Barron’s published an article titled Week’s Best: Dow 50,000 or Bust? At the time, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit 40,000, a record for 30 of America’s oldest companies. That got me thinking about Dow stocks to buy. Of the three major indexes, the Dow is the worst performer in 2024, up less
As the latest round of “meme stock mania” enters the rearview mirror, the focus with AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is shifting back to the movie theater chain’s fundamentals. That does not bode well for the company, for its management, and for AMC stock investors. For the company and for management, and end to “meme mania” means
There’s no doubt Wall Street analysts provide investors with valuable information. Their reports offer a detailed overview of a company, a financial model for its future performance, and a price target based on an informed estimate of a company’s fair value.

Perhaps the most dominant narrative in stock market circles is the Federal Reserve’s potential moves to slash interest rates. However, recent comments from Fed officials suggest that we may have higher-for-longer interest rates, ruling out multiple cuts this year. Additionally, investors are digesting the Commerce Department’s revised, weaker-than-expected Q1 U.S. economic growth figures. With these
Artificial intelligence requires a shocking amount of energy, creating substantial opportunities for energy stocks to buy fueled by the unstoppable AI boom and the Nvidia-driven surge. For an idea of how much power we’re talking about, consider this. According to The Verge, by 2027, the AI market alone could consume between 85 and 135 terawatt
I have historically been very bearish on GameStop (NYSE:GME), mainly due to key fundamental factors. The company continues to see revenue deterioration and the ultimate impact of online competition should render its business model obsolete over the very long term. That is why there is so much short interest in this name. However, GME stock
From 1930 to 2023, 70% of dividend stocks in the top two quintiles outperformed the S&P 500 during recessions. Dividends have contributed 40% of the stock market gain since 1930, increasing with rising inflation. In 1981, 2001, and 2007, dividend-paying companies beat the market owing to steady profit flow; given the November election and three
The advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI) took the world by storm in 2023. Semiconductor companies have been ever busy since then.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is arguably the largest beneficiary of
Three summer stocks have considerable development prospects centered upon their distinct technical breakthroughs and strategic initiatives. The first one started operating a foundry, and the business took a major stride toward becoming the first systems foundry built for the AI age. This endeavor has garnered significant support from prominent IT behemoths and a top U.S.
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has certainly underperformed its sector. With TSLA stock down over 30% this year, the company that’s invested heavily in China with its Shanghai gigafactory could be poised for more downside. Indeed, Model Y production there faces cuts due to economic uncertainties. Tight competition for more affordable alternatives are rising. In 2024, Tesla aims
While it may be comfortable betting alongside the consensus opinion, investors seeking enhanced returns should consider undervalued long-term stocks. If you have the time to spare, these ideas should be relevant for the entire marathon, not just a sprint or two. One of the advantages of targeting enterprises that could expand over an extended period
The Biden administration announced in May 2024 that it would not only leave the existing tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum in place but is proposing to triple them. The implications for the United States steel industry is a simple matter of supply and demand. Which is why it’s time for investors to look for
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) finally did it. It surpassed Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) in market cap to become the world’s second-largest company. Indeed, few people would have thought the maker of popular GeForce gaming GPUs would have eclipsed the iPhone maker in value just three years ago. With three members in the $3 trillion market cap club, the race
With temperatures on the rise, investors are looking into the next beverage stocks to buy before they bubble up.

A stock market rally is still underway, with the S&P 500 index rebounding in May. Now, this rally has mostly been led by high-growth tech stocks. However, some names with unique value are certainly garnering more attention. You know, the high cash flow producing companies with solid balance sheets that return capital to shareholders. Investors
Growth stocks remain the best way to ensure superior investment returns — and some are killing it right now. Smart management, savvy decision making and long-term catalysts is causing certain stocks to vault higher and outperform the broader market.

The last few weeks have been quite eventful for meme stocks.

Pharma stocks have two unique characteristics that can make them great investments for many individuals. First, unlike the vast majority of equities, undervalued pharma stocks can rally even when the economy is performing miserably. And secondly, a few data points can rather quickly transform a pharma company that’s been a loser for many years on
The downgraded stocks continue to trade near record highs despite the recent pressure from rising bond yields. Investors were digesting the U.S. Commerce Department’s report last week, which indicated that the U.S. economy’s first-quarter growth was slower than initially estimated.
