Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) faced an unusual setback when the stock dropped by over $100 billion following a mishap with its generative AI earlier in the year.

By that, I’m referring to enterprises that pay their dividends via a relatively small pool of their earnings. Generally, companies that feature a payout ratio between 20% to 50% offer confidence
Although the fallout from the banking sector appears to have faded, investors still should consider stocks to buy that can weather storms. Understandably, this narrative runs counter to the apparently prevailing wisdom of the moment. For example, even legendary hedge-fund manager Michael Burry stated that he was “wrong to say sell.” Nevertheless, let’s look at
After coughing back most of its “meme stock” gains during 2022, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) has performed well thus far in 2023.
