The recent plunge investors have seen in Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) has been truly remarkable. Shares of the server and storage giant surged more than 1,200% during the recent AI boom but have since dropped more than 50% from their peak.

Wall Street loves artificial intelligence no matter what flavor it comes in. After intelligent voice leader SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) reported second-quarter earnings on August 8, analysts engaged in a round of raising their price targets on SOUN stock.  They now have a $7.08 per share consensus view for the stock, which implies a 42% upside

Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) might be the least loved Magnificent Seven member. Oddly enough, Tesla is either a pioneer or a pariah, depending on whom you ask about it.

A lot of analysts have been discussing the potential of Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock from the lens of the company’s slowly declining innovative edge.

Former president Donald Trump’s running partner for the 2024 presidential contest is JD Vance. Declared in mid-July 2024, this choice positions Vance as the Republican vice-presidential candidate alongside Trump himself.

SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) has emerged as a significant player in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. Shares of the frontrunner in voice AI have surged more than 100% year-to-date (YTD).

The tech sector selloff that began in July gave investors the jitters. The best tech stocks were in freefall after carrying the Nasdaq 100 to new heights. In fact, the index is still in correction territory as it is down more than 10% from its all-time high. Some of the leading names in the tech

For any other company, the CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) debacle might have spelled doom. But, as always, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock has risen like a Phoenix from the so-called ashes. It demonstrates impressive resilience no matter how challenging the market conditions are. Or the fallouts from various unpleasant events. Three key drivers – a dominant subscription business model,

Since I’m severely lactose, I eat many plant-based foods and drink many plant-based beverages. The data suggests that many other Americans, whether because of lactose intolerance or for other reasons, eat plant-based foods and drink plant-based beverages. Indeed, “The (United States) plant-based food market surged from $3.9 billion in 2017 to $8.1 billion in 2023,”

Apple is a fascinating investment because of its constant innovation, great financial success, and measured market growth. Apple’s market share, technical innovation, and

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) certainly faced its fair share of headwinds in recent years. The company’s share price dropped 60% year-to-date as investors are looking past Intel stock to other semiconductor names with much better long-term growth forecasts. There’s plenty of precedent for such a decision. AI is real, and Intel isn’t participating in this rally as

Despite the AI-dominated tech rally over the past year, Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) has been a laggard in the industry. The stock is down by more than 11% year-to-date and 3.0% over the past twelve months. The sell-off in Adobe’s stock stems from its high valuation as concerns about its ability to sustain growth remain a huge

Stock splits, once rare, are roaring back into focus for traders and investors alike. In January, Walmart (NYSE:WMT) became the latest company to announce a three-for-one stock split followed by Williams-Sonoma’s (NYSE:WSM) two-for-one split. This trend has continued, with plenty of other stock split opportunities worth paying attention to. Compared to other tech cycles, like

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock, known for its social media giants Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp has come under the spotlight recently.
