Stocks to buy

Oil and gas stocks can be some of the most undervalued stocks an investor can stumble upon. One of the reasons why is because of the stigma that surrounds investing into non-renewable energy assets, and this sentiment is prevalent whether we’re talking about an everyday market-watcher or a professional investor at a Wall Street firm.

Despite continued macro uncertainties in the global economy, growth stocks have continued to be on a tear. While it may be tempting to take profit with some of these winners, among them are stocks best considered to be growth stocks to hold.

As network connectivity improves worldwide, so does the ability to integrate wireless technologies like cloud computing. With these advancements, what were previously niche tech sectors have come to the forefront of the stock market. As the need for off-device computing increases with the push to bring artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) to

Wall Street history shows that long-term stock investing is one of the key ingredients for lasting financial success. The S&P 500 index, regarded as the benchmark for U.S. stocks, has shown a historical average annualized return of around 10% since its inception in 1928 through the end of 2023. Similarly, from 1996 to mid-June 2022,

In April’s report, McKinsey & Company projected that the global space ecosystem will rise to a $1.79 trillion inflation-adjusted value by 2035 from $630 billion in 2023. This encompasses the entire infrastructure that leverages the space economy, including undervalued space stocks, from software and telecommunications to manufacturing and terrestrial equipment. While SpaceX is pushing the technological envelope and

High-risk penny stocks are known for their volatility. They often feature low trading volumes, minimal prices and unstable financial and fundamental standings. This makes them more volatile than larger-cap stocks. However, for savvy investors, high-risk penny stocks can provide a pathway to substantial returns on a relatively small initial investment. When building a high-risk penny

Bet on penny stocks under $5 with interest rate cuts looming. However, it’s important to note that penny stocks are notoriously volatile, especially those trading for under $5. These stocks usually belong to businesses in their nascence or grapple with significant hurdles. Hence, most investment experts advise caution when dealing with the speculative nature of

In a stock market that’s somewhat lacking in volatility, value investors are sure to find other things to be anxious about. Indeed, momentum is growing behind a wide range of names, especially those in tech with artificial intelligence (AI) plans and products under development. For some value-conscious folks, the magnitude of momentum driven by an

Finding undervalued growth stocks in the middle of a bull market is no easy task. By definition, they are investments rising in value over time. With the S&P 500 trading up about 25% so far this year, locating these discounted hidden gems remains a challenge but doable. Just because a growth stock has gained in

Everyone’s definition of cash-cow stocks is different. I consider cash-cow stocks to be companies whose free cash flow (FCF) is considerably higher than the capital expenditures required to keep the business running efficiently. FCF generators with high FCF yields, defined as free cash flow divided by enterprise value, are even better.  I look for those

As the second half of 2024 unfolds, main Wall Street indices are reaching new highs. The Nasdaq 100 index soared more than 20% year-to-date, and the S&P 500 saw an all-time high with a 16% surge. Meanwhile, the hunt for undervalued breakout stocks intensified among savvy investors. Think of it as a Wall Street plot

After a tumultuous 2023, the stock market is back on its feet this year, putting high-potential stocks in the spotlight. Stocks are climbing steadily, the S&P 500 has been up 17% in the last six months, and inflation rates have cooled. Now, as we reach the midpoint, several companies hope to keep the momentum and

There was a great deal of uncertainty surrounding Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and its AI strategy (or lack of one) entering this year. With the first half now over, investors now have more understanding of where Apple is headed in the AI age. Indeed, the Cupertino-based innovator is shooting for intelligence (note the lack of “artificial”) that’s

The search for top flying car stocks is on. Growth investors initially piled into this industry last year, with many top players in this potential trillion-dollar industry (by 2040) seeing sharp gains. Unfortunately, many top electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) companies have seen stark declines this year as growth investors eye other high-growth sectors

After a period of aggressive interest rate hikes aimed at taming inflation, the Federal Reserve is poised to shift gears in the coming months. With inflation moderating and approaching the Fed’s 2% target, economists and investors anticipate rate cuts as early as September 2024. Lower interest rates typically benefit certain sectors through lower borrowing costs

The S&P 500 index is trading near all-time highs. Dozens of blue-chip and quality growth stocks have surged higher and trade at rich valuations. With the possibility of rate cuts, it’s likely that the markets will remain in an uptrend and I expect euphoria to strike meme and penny stocks. However, it’s time to be

There’s a lot of significance behind the timely return of investing influencer Keith Gill, who is best known by his YouTube and X persona, “Roaring Kitty.” Gill was a driving force behind the 2021 meme stock frenzy that saw GameStop’s stock briefly soar 4,000% in a now infamous short squeeze. Now, there are several meme stocks

If you had to point to any one attribute that makes very large capitalization firms attractive as an investment vehicle, it would be predictability. Big, established businesses are predictable in terms of earnings and revenue growth. At the same time, they lack maximum upside potential. So, the next best thing in that regard may be

Why consider video game stocks? If I had to boil it down into one word, it would be “culture.” Allow me to explain. For the longest time since the inception of digital entertainment, video games represented the near-exclusive domain of friendless nerds. If you wanted to have a partner in life, you kept that stuff

With the AI boom, it’s no surprise that many sectors will experience heightened growth. One such sector for investors to take advantage of is cybersecurity. The cybersecurity sector has more than ample room to grow, with the demand for stronger encryption resulting from more prevalent and sophisticated cyberattacks. However, despite industry growth, there are still
