Tech stocks comprise many of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite. This sector features many high-growth companies that can scale their revenue and profits over time.

The current market choppiness highlights the need for diversifying portfolios to include robust shares that may get analyst upgrades.

Are investors getting worried? After hitting a new all-time high 10 days ago, the S&P 500 has lost 5% of its value. The tech-laden Nasdaq 100 is worse, down over 7%. Having come so far so fast, investors are hedging their bets. There could be a valid reason to do this. A favorite indicator of

High-yield dividend stocks allow investors to generate steady cash flow while holding onto their shares. However, most of these same stocks tend to underperform the stock market. While a 5% yield may look good, it won’t be nearly as attractive if the stock drops by 50% in five years. Many telecom companies offer high yields,

Just as the ancient Roman Empire was powered by human labor deployed in agriculture, the modern era relies on semiconductors to power the digital age.

Wall Street has rewarded certain growth stocks handsomely this year. I believe now may be an opportune time to buy some of these high-flyers, even after the recent tech selloff.

The financial technology or fintech sector looks promising this year. Fintech companies use technology to offer money management solutions. They try to make banking, investing, and borrowing easier, and their relevance has grown with technological advances. Several dividend-paying fintech stocks have emerged as strong industry players with solid upside momentum. The industry’s future looks bright, and a rate cut

The pairing of artificial intelligence and growth-oriented companies has resulted in a new wave of high-potential AI growth stocks for investors to consider.
