If 2020 was the year of the novel coronavirus, 2021 could be considered the year of excess. From cryptocurrencies to meme trades to initial public offerings (including the much-publicized special purpose acquisition companies), the market has moved quickly — perhaps too quickly. However, Dutch Bros (NYSE:BROS) stock demonstrates that hype doesn’t always portend disaster. Source:

Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) bulls are finally rejoicing. Shares shot up after Indonesia, one of the top five most populous countries globally, greenlighted its vaccine recently. That came on the heels of the biotech filing emergency use authorization (EUA) packages with several authorities, including the world health organization (WHO) and the European Union (E.U.). All of this

GameStop (NYSE:GME) looks like it could be turning the corner financially. In its fiscal second-quarter results released on Sept. 8, sales rose to $1.183 billion from $942 million last year.

Still stuck trading between $20 and $30 per share, it may seem like Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is never bouncing back.

Founded by somewhat eccentric billionaire Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) is on a mission to make astronauts out of regular folks — who happen to have an extra several hundred thousand dollars lying around.

I have written several articles about AT&T (NYSE:T) and its proposed dividend cut. Suffice it to say that once the company spins off its Warner Media division and combines it with Discovery Inc (NASDAQ:DISCA), the dividend will be cut. That should occur sometime in 2022. For now, though, we can estimate where T stock will

Bionano Genomics (NASDAQ:BNGO) continues to take steps that will, in the long-term, tremendously boost its results and the share price. Consequently, I remain very bullish on BNGO stock.

The semiconductor shortage has underscored just how important the little devices are. They’re in just about everything these days and the companies that make them are raking in the cash because of it. One such company is Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD). AMD stock has been a strong performer over the past few years as its

Paypal (NASDAQ:PYPL) is a screaming buy after its recent earnings fiasco. PYPL stock fell 12% on Nov. 9 immediately after it announced third-quarter results and forward guidance that left Wall Street cringing.

Amid multiple new signs that BlackBerry’s (NYSE:BB) IVY initiative will be extremely lucrative, I remain very bullish on BB stock.

Facebook — now known as Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) — is trying to change the narrative to a positive tone with its new name and upcoming MVRS ticker change on Dec. 1. That will help investors get excited about FB stock again. This includes its new focus on the metaverse and its desire to move into

In an age where polarization is king, Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:DWAC) stock makes a lot of sense.  Source: iQoncept/ShutterStock.com The special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) has agreed to merge with former President Donald Trump’s social media venture, Truth Social.  Truth Social is extremely interesting in and of itself.

Phunware (NASDAQ:PHUN) is a mobile phone SaaS (Software as a Service) company that just raised a pile of cash. In a recent presentation that the company gave at a Benzinga conference, Phunware said that it now has $66 million in cash on its balance sheet. That’s probably enough to justify its inflated $365 million market

Roku’s (NASDAQ:ROKU) streak of bad luck, driven largely by macro trends out of its control, is continuing. Nonetheless, I believe that periodically buying ROKU stock on its pullbacks will prove to be a winning strategy for investors.

The renewable energy industry is booming. While it only supplies less than a quarter of the power generated today, this will change drastically by 2040. Its share is expected to grow in excess of 40% by 2040, as new technologies are developed for wind and solar energy production. Therefore, in line with the fast-changing energy

After an incredible run-up in the days after its initial public offering, volatility in Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) is mostly absent. That did not stop the bearish selling on HOOD stock from accelerating after the company posted quarterly results on Oct. 26.

It has been an excellent third-quarter earnings season so far. Of the S&P 500 stocks that have reported earnings, a majority have beaten analyst estimates.  According to Factset Insight, 56% of the index companies have reported earnings so far in Q3 2021. Of those, 82% beat the consensus earnings per share (EPS). That’s higher than

Shares in Houston-based Tellurian (NYSEAMERICAN:TELL) have been riding the natural gas wave. Since mid-August, TELL stock has posted a 65% gain. It’s more than tripled its share price since the start of the year. However, despite rallying for the better part of three months, it remains well off its high close of $5.32 in June.
