If GameStop (NYSE:GME) were an ordinary company, its second-quarter results released on Thursday should have been a triumph. Net sales of $1.16 billion represented a 2.5% increase from the previous year, and net losses were cut to a mere $2.8 million — a rounding error for a company that lost $50.5 million the quarter before.

Several growth stocks have rebounded this year on improved investor sentiment, even as macro uncertainty continues to impact businesses.

In 2023, Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) stock surged over 250%, drawing the attention of short sellers, with 24.58 million shares shorted as of Aug. 15, up from 14.1% on July 31.  With ACHR stock’s average daily trading volume, it would take 3.2 days to cover the short positions, considered moderately high.

Some consider market patterns akin to astrology, but seasonality can play a substantial role.  Research shows that the S&P 500 typically struggles throughout the summer months (July and August). The index limps into September before closing strong in November and December. To that end, investors should read the tea leaves of the past few months

With the warmer weather season coming to an end, I wanted to take a look back at some of the hottest summer stock winners of the last few months. While some stocks didn’t have the best quarter (thanks to earrings and a host of other blistering issues), many soared. In fact, let’s take a look

In a previous article, I discussed Tilray’s acquisition of Truss Beverage a company that makes cannabis infused beverages. Cannabis producers like Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) often raise investor caution due to their historical volatility.

AI Stocks with big money have transitioned from niche chatters to mainstream investing circles. The results are palpable with organizations harnessing this transformative power to revamp operations and boost productivity. Moreover, the metrics are compelling.

It wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to know that the best-performing Nasdaq stock in 2023 is Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), up 244%. It’s definitely one of the must-own Nasdaq stocks. According to Finviz.com, there are just three Nasdaq-listed Standards & Practices (S&P) 500 stocks that are up more than 100% in 2023; Nvidia is one of them.

Recently released macro economic data is indicating that the United States economy is heading for a “soft landing.” Specifically, according to the Department of Labor’s  Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) for July, “2.3%  of nonfarm payroll workers quit their jobs” last month, versus the high of 35 during the “Great Resignation.”   The “soft-landing”

Following its recent earnings report, SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock initially surged, but has since retreated. Despite the pullback, the overall story on this formerly speculative stock remains positive. After its earnings, SOFI stock fell 18%, falling from around $10 per share to $8.17 at the time of writing. While such a move may certainly be

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock is a complex play for long-term investors to consider. As one might guess given the company’s ticker, C3.ai is a key player many investors look at in the artificial intelligence space. The company uses an AI-based software platform which allows users to develop and design enterprise AI solutions. Sounds like a massive

It’s tough to argue that American Superconductor’s (NASDAQ:AMSC) recent supercharged rally was anything but the product of a meme-like wave of speculative frenzy. AMSC stock didn’t rally on game-changing news. Rather, as InvestorPlace’s David Moadel pointed out recently, chances are that it was statements from Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk regarding the U.S.’s future electric

Propelled by strong earnings and upbeat guidance, the shares of several leading companies are now at their highest level in a year. And while some investors might be weary of stocks trading at 52-week highs, assuming they are destined to fall, many of the securities involved are from best-of-breed companies and household names. In fact,

Recession talks are scary, but it’s important to remember that a recession isn’t the only outcome. Indeed, plenty of stocks for long-term investors are available to buy now, ones that might provide great returns regardless of whether we get a recession or not.  And so, let’s look at three stocks that are excellent deals if

Plenty of “hot stocks” from the 2020/2021 runaway bull market have bounced back in a big way so far in 2023, but few have done it to the extent Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) has year-to-date. As you may recall, at one point CVNA stock was changing hands for as little as $3.55 per share last December. Since

Warren Buffett likes to say that you only need to be right about one or two stocks to succeed as an investor. This helps to explain why the Oracle of Omaha’s portfolio is concentrated in only a handful of stocks. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Buffett’s biggest position, accounts for nearly half (46%) of his $354 billion investment

During the 2010s, Block (NASDAQ:SQ) stock benefitted as the company innovated itself to the top among America’s transaction processors. Instead of looking for customers through banks or re-sellers, and building a complex system of special deals, Block went directly to merchants. It offered simple pricing, and a dongle that worked on a mobile phone. It

Certainly, there are pros and cons to holding Mastercard (NYSE:MA) stock. The company’s dividend payments are minuscule. On the other hand, Mastercard is a recognized giant in the payments-processing space. There’s nothing wrong with investing in Mastercard as long as your expectations are realistic. As we’ll discuss in a moment, Mastercard appears to be rejecting
