Stocks To Buy

Every day brings several reports about companies embracing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Some may see a genuine long-term opportunity. Others may see an opportunity to turn their share price around as the market loves this current tech trend. While big-name tech stocks have largely moved higher, there’s now some potential pockets of overvaluation with the biggest moves so far. That’s creating an opportunity for smaller plays, particularly for companies already rolling out AI tools. One such player isSalesforce (CRM). The company just ...

The past few weeks has seen an explosion of interest in artificial intelligence (AI) and chipmaker stocks. That’s allowed a few big-cap tech names to lead the overall market higher. And since the stock market is weighted by market cap, it may have even kept stocks from dropping so far this year. With the move higher fizzling out, it’s possible that investors are looking to new leaders to keep the 2023 rally going. One company looks set to take the leadership ...

Most investment analysis tries to put a company into either a growth category, or a value category. Fortunately, some stocks offer both at the same time. With some sectors of the market rallying strongly and value out of reach, being able to buy value while also seeing a move higher is huge.

While stocks have trended higher this year overall, investors have been unpleasantly surprised by a series of bank failures. While it’s been largely quiet in the past few weeks, many small and regional banks remain beaten down. That’s creating an opportunity for investors. Why? While there may still be more bank failures ahead, many names in the space are safe. And because they’ve been beaten down so heavily, they now trade at a steep discount. For instance, regional bankCitizens Financial Group (CFG) ...

While the stock market has rewarded companies moving into the artificial intelligence (AI) space this year, the ride hasn’t been a smooth one. That’s actually a good thing for investors. Pullbacks create buying opportunities. And the important thing for investors is to buy smaller AI companies that can see big growth – and share price appreciation – over time. That means looking for companies that have small market caps – under $100 billion – which takes a lot of household tech ...

Economic data remains confusing. While the economy is slowing by several measures, we’re still seeing signs of a strong economy, such as the labor market. One trend that’s becoming more clear is that spending is declining on goods, but not necessarily on services. That’s leading to a drop in retail-related stocks. And while a slowing economy will mean a further slowdown in the sale of goods, it won’t drop to zero. Consumers still need to consume, if only for basics such as ...
