That could cause some big changes for retail companies. Investors already saw Walmart (WMT) warn that they would miss their full-year profit target, as a number of items would have to go on sale in order for the company to clear its excess inventory. While that’s ...

The past few years has been great for some sectors. For others, it’s been tough. The restaurant space has had to rapidly change to pandemic protocols, a rise in takeout orders, and increased outdoor dining, to say nothing about supply chain issues. However, many of these companies have been holding up well. In a potentially slowing economy, though, those offering fares with lower-priced items will likely hold up the best – and may even grow in today’s environment. That’s potentially good news ...

Congress is weighing on legislation to support domestic semiconductor production before it goes on recess. The goal is to counter the global chip shortage. If passed, it will make it easier for mega-factories to be built stateside, but the chip shortage is still likely to continue.

With retail stocks already down ...

The stock market is in a downtrend, and that will likely continue until the Federal Reserve stops its current policy of raising interest rates. This downtrend is throwing out great companies along with weaker ones, and has hit the tech space fairly hard. That’s creating one of the best buying opportunities for investors in tech in years. That’s especially true with companies that can still deliver on growth in a slowing economy. Case in point is wireless semiconductor chip company Qualcomm (QCOM) ...
