Tariff fears have gripped the economy in recent weeks. Slight increases in tariffs between several nations, coming off of decade-low levels, make for scary headlines. And higher tariff rates will mean a shift in economic fortunes. Fortunately, it’s not the end of the world. With this selloff, many companies that may appear to be in the crossfire of changing tariff rates may be setting up for a strong buy now. For instance, Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) is a foreign firm that’s responsible for ...

The past few years has seen the end of the globalization trend. A push for more local supply chains has been a key reason why. Now, with a rise in global tariffs, not just coming from the United States, a further push for domestic production is likely. That’s good news for some American manufacturing firms. 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 ...

Investors have plenty of ways to play the market. Most of the time, growth stocks deliver big returns. Many growth names provided most of the market’s return over the past two years. 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. One way to do that is by finding stocks that focus less on growth and more on their dividends. Specifically, ...

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 ...

The recent market selloff took stocks into correction territory in the span of a few weeks. It’s the fifth-fastest selloff. And while stocks are looking to settle down now, if not rebound later in the year, some areas have fared worse than others. Many widely-held tech names have seen their shares get cut by a quarter or even half over the past few months. However, that hasn’t changed their fundamentals. For most companies, it could be a case of falling too far, ...

Activist investors can be a mixed bunch. They’re on the hunt for companies that are undervalued, or could make some changes and kick off higher growth. By buying a large stake and petitioning management, these companies can effectively create their own positive returns. Investors who follow along with activist investors, particularly those with a strong track record, can also see great returns within the span of a few quarters as value hidden in plain sight is unlocked. For instance, Starboard Value, one ...
