Once upon a time, everyone was doing share repurchases. Then Covid-19 hit, and businesses of all sizes were looking to conserve cash. As a result, repurchases went out of vogue. But now they’re back, and many investors look to buybacks as an indicator of stocks to buy for long-term profits. In the second quarter of

I’ve been pounding the table in support of Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) for a while, but by and large, my pleas have gone unheard. Lately, the price action of LCID stock has been uninspiring.

Overall, one of the main catalysts for President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory was his stance on the novel coronavirus pandemic. Leading up to the election, former President Donald Trump’s administration made critical errors, primarily flirting with unsubstantiated Covid-19 allegations which undid the good of Operation Warp Speed. In turn, it’s unfortunate because people are
The macro picture looks extraordinarily bright for electric vehicle charging infrastructure company ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT), even if some of the sheen has been taken off CHPT stock this year.

The equity markets are suffering from 1,000 cuts from a number of headlines, although most of these don’t actually change the fundamentals of the companies profit-and-loss statements. Nevertheless, they are inflammatory in nature and raised the levels of worry among traders. For the time being, they are rattling investor confidence on Wall Street. Thus, this
It seemed natural for shares of Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) to correct after surging from $2.11 in March 2020 to a high just below $67 in January — a gain of more than 3,000% in less than 10 months.

They call it FUD: fear, uncertainty and doubt. Based in China, ride-hailing giant Didi Global (NYSE:DIDI) has its fair share of problems, I’ll admit. But there’s also plenty of FUD surrounding DIDI stock. Source: Piotr Swat / Shutterstock.com For example, reports recently circulated claiming that China’s Beijing city government advised state-owned companies to invest in the
Financial stocks could be on the verge of higher returns. Rising inflation levels over the summer months convinced investors that the Federal Reserve would soon pump the brakes on its monetary stimulus program. Now it seems an imminent interest rate hike is looming around the corner. Higher interest rates often lead to increasing profit margins
ViacomCBS (NASDAQ:VIAC) has been a costly disappointment for some investors in 2021.

In reviewing the opportunity in Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) stock, I need to start with an apology. A few years ago, I harshly judged it for its delay in reaching profitability.

Dutch Bros (NYSE:BROS) went public on Sept. 14 at $23.00 per share and immediately spiked to $43.32 as of Sept. 30.
