While air taxi companies have always been attractive for investing in next-generation transportation, a confluence of factors now favors acquisitions by major tech firms. The first is that air taxi company stocks are trading much below their highs compared to tech stocks. Leading area taxi firms Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) and Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) are both down for

Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock is up notably this year thanks to commercial income, which has increased significantly, therefore offsetting its strong dependence on government contracts.

One main driver of this expansion is Palantir’s

Many investors don’t like short-sellers because they are looking for a stock to fail. Yet, it’s a normal part of the market. Stocks rise and fall, and profiting from a stock’s decline

When your reputation is in tatters, being able to pull your company up out of the ashes takes a Herculean effort. Certainlyit is not easy. As Warren Buffett once said, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) held its annual Prime Day sales extravaganza on July 16 and 17. Shoppers spent an estimated $14.2 billion this year over the two-day event, an 11% increase from last year.

There’s a good-news, bad-news situation happening now with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). It’s getting a lot of coverage in the financial press, but it’s not positive coverage. Still, long-term shareholders should adopt a “This, too, shall pass” perspective and not panic-sell Microsoft stock. Microsoft isn’t to blame for the negative news, unless you fault them for relying

When Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock rolled out its AI-generative search feature named Search Generative Experience (SGE), it was perhaps the biggest change to its Google product ever. On top of being perhaps the biggest change, it is certainly the most controversial. One might wonder what extra usefulness is being added to the user experience (aside

Leading contract chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) has undeniably been a market darling so far in 2024. The stock’s ascent to an all-time high of $193.47 on July 11 shows its dominant position in the global chipmaking landscape. TSM stock has surged over 50% year-to-date (YTD). It has significantly outperformed the Philadelphia Stock Exchange

The extended bull market we are in has not been one where a rising tide lifts all boats. The S&P 500 is up 15% year-to-date and is 52% higher since October 2022 when the latest run-up began. While a lot of the gains for the benchmark index can be tied to how well the Magnificent

Before investing in Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) stock, it is essential to analyze varying viewpoints in order to soundly decide.

Walmart (NYSE:WMT) reported strong financial results for the first quarter, and the giant retailer is extremely profitable and has several highly promising initiatives at this point. Moreover, the firm has clearly become adept at attracting a large percentage of American consumers while generating high profits in the process. Given these points, I believe that Walmart

Disney (NYSE:DIS) is in a place it is not very familiar with. While its theme parks have long been the mortar that held the Magic Kingdom together, its linear television business is in a difficult spot and until only very recently, its movies and streaming shows were a disaster. There is no telling if the House

Electric vehicle manufacturer Polestar Automotive (NASDAQ:PSNY) produces cars that are stylish and powerful. Yet, this doesn’t ensure that Polestar’s shareholders will succeed in the long run. Sure, there’s some positive news to report, but there’s also a major issue that should make anyone think twice about buying Polestar stock. Don’t get the wrong idea. I’ve expressed optimism

SoundHound AI stock (NASDAQ:SOUN) has courted controversy since the company went public in the year 2022.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock is finally in the grip of the AI fever. The iPhone maker traded at 52-week lows of $164 mid-April. In three months, Apple stock surged by 35% and trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 30.3. I believe that valuations are stretched, considering the company’s revenue and earnings growth trajectory. A correction

Congress has an uncanny knack for making remarkably well-timed stock trades. They pinky swear they are not buying and selling stock based on insider information culled from their regulation of the companies. Yet the politicians tend to dramatically outperform the S&P 500. One of the best at this is former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Her

For a while now, AI has been taking the world by storm. It’s become the hottest sector on Wall Street, consumed most media headlines and dominated as the topic of conversation.  And after reporting the results of its quarterly executive survey on artificial intelligence, Bain & Company – one of the world’s largest consulting firms

Software-as-a-service (SaaS) stocks are gaining traction as the cloud computing revolution reshapes the way businesses operate.

CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ:CRWD) stock was cratering after being discovered responsible for a disastrous technology outage that grounded flights and disrupted financial systems around the world.

With many expecting Trump to win the election in November, his economic policies could significantly impact stock prices. For one, Trump’s proposed corporate tax rate cut from 21% to 15% would immediately increase Amazon’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) earnings. There are, however, a few negatives including tariffs, immigration policies and the already weakened consumer demand that bode poorly
