Stocks To Buy

Investors have a love/hate relationship with turnaround stocks. When a company falls on hard times and can turn things around, investors who bought while things are dark can make considerable returns. But if the company fails to turn around, further losses mount. A company that’s looking to turn around needs to be honest about their prospects, first and foremost. It’s easy to say things will turn around, whether they will or not. Currently, chipmaker Intel (INTC) has an uphill battle, with the ...

Investors have started to shift out of some consumer stocks recently, noting that a slowing economy could bode poorly for some subsectors such as travel. For now, this shift lower is being felt to a lesser extent in other parts of the economy. Some fast food CEOs have warned that the price hikes of the past few years is leading to fewer visits from customers. However, that hasn’t been the case across the board.

They’ve had to compete with global competitors, who often benefit from lower wages or more government support. But great American companies, like Carrier (CARR), are able to ...

Several individual growth stocks have had moves of 300-500% in the past year. However, with sentiment shifting, it may be time to take a more defensive approach to the market.

Markets have pushed higher in recent sessions, but are off their highs for the year. Markets may yet re-test their recent lows and trend lower, or look to eventually move back up to all-time highs. No matter the short-term direction, buying great companies during a market pullback can often prove a solid winner over time. Focusing on industry leaders and getting a reasonable price for a great company ensures that short-term market opportunities are converted into long-term winners. For instance, seasoning and ...

While the stock market correction has rattled investors, and while tariff fears remain, most companies are still executing on long-term plans. That includes the rollout of AI, which includes not just new software and AI models, but the hardware and infrastructure necessary to make it all work. One key element of that plan is power. Many big-tech companies have shifted to nuclear power for its high base-load generating capacity, and low operating cost. Today, while old nuclear plants are looking to be ...

Stocks don’t just move up or down. Sometimes, they’ll have a sideways pattern. And that may entail bouncing up and down in a narrow range. Oftentimes, once the range-bound trading ends, the stock will make a big move. The next move isn’t always known in advance. It can depend on market conditions, as well as a company’s operations and how they’re faring. But it’s more likely that a stock will move higher if earnings are strong. That could be the case with ...
