Kirk Fisher Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) had a tough start to the year as its shares have depreciated by ~30% YTD as a result of the weak performance of its business that was caused by a tough macro environment and increased competition within the electric vehicle (“EV”) industry. The company’s poor deliveries in Q1 have already…
ninitta BP stock’s high yield and low P/E BP‘s (NYSE:NYSE:BP) stock price has largely been moving sideways recently. As seen in the chart below, its price increased only about 3% in the last year, while the S&P 500 enjoyed one of the best years with more than 20% gain. There are certainly good reasons for…
Jonathan Kitchen/DigitalVision via Getty Images Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ:BIIB) just reported a quarter where their Alzheimer’s therapy is finally gaining traction. The stock has only made a slight bounce off the bottom, providing the opportunity to jump onto the story for a stock that topped $300 last year. My investment thesis remains Bullish on the stock…
Reddit stockcam On Friday, Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) rallied 7.02% from its closing IPO price in a single trading day. The rally was likely brought on by a surprise earnings beat from Snap Inc.

Galeanu Mihai Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) slumped following a Q1’24 earnings report where the company projected a new round of spending on AI.

chrispecoraro Initially, I intended to write this article after Gold Reserve Inc. filed its 2023 Annual Report, which based upon the release dates of its previous annual reports, will happen before the end of April. However, court documents that were filed today (April 17, 2024) have accelerated this timeline. Accordingly, all financial data about Gold…

Dean Mitchell Above: Something for everyone works – proof of a business model As Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) approaches its Q1’24 earnings release this week, the market sentiment whether it reports a meet, beat, or miss comes down to this: If subscriber growth is up, margins are strong, and average revenue per user ticks up, it’s…
FabioIm/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Investment Thesis I recommend holding Petrobras (NYSE:PBR) shares. The company is the largest in market cap in Latin America, and is still reaping the benefits of its strategy of divestment of non-strategic assets and focus on core business. As a result, Petrobras continues to generate a lot of cash. However,…
Robert Way Investment action I recommended a hold rating for Victoria’s Secret (NYSE:VSCO) when I wrote about it the last time (Early Jan 2023), as I saw no improvements in the turnaround situation yet, despite the valuation seemingly pricing in a successful turnaround in the near term. Indeed, VSCO showed no improvements since, and the…
J Studios Investment Thesis BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BBAI), which provides advanced analytics solutions and AI, is overvalued. To further confound matters, I believe that in the next twelve months, BigBair.ai will be forced to raise funds by diluting investors. Ultimately, I contend that over the next few quarters, investors will look back to BBAI at…

Luis Alvarez/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment Thesis Maxeon Solar Technologies (NASDAQ:MAXN) delivers preliminary results that imply that its revenue growth rates are slowing down at a rapid clip. Not only are its revenues expected to shrink by 37% y/y, but more crucially, its net debt position has significantly increased. What’s more, the business’ underlying cash…
bizoo_n My Thesis I believe the recent shift in PayPal Holdings, Inc.‘s (NASDAQ:PYPL) management has been a real game changer. Against the backdrop of continued product expansion, underestimated market expectations for future earnings, and favorable valuations, PYPL stock remains one of the most obvious large-cap”Buy” ideas right now.

J Studios/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment Thesis Veritone, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:VERI) goal appears to be to leverage AI to help their clients solve complex problems and improve decision-making processes. That’s their narrative. But the underlying facts point to a company that is barely growing on the top line. What’s more, despite their lofty goals, the business…
ninitta/iStock via Getty Images ~10% yield and ~6x P/E are just absurd Believe me, I understand why tobacco stocks are so out of favor in recent years. The main topic for today, British American Tobacco (NYSE:BTI), provides a good example. As seen in the chart below, BTI’s price suffered a 15.62% loss in the past…
bjdlzx Energy stocks have recently entered a revival phase that lifted the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund ETF (XLE) toward its recent highs.

Coupled with the persistence of the OPEC+ production…

Dragon Claws Intro & Thesis In early February, I wrote an article about SurgePays, Inc. (NASDAQ:SURG) stock in which I made the case for buying this stock based on its favorable valuation and growth opportunities.

Dan Kitwood Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ:RUM) has been on a tear since announcing a partnership with Barstool Sports back in January. The video platform has longed announced big content partnerships, but the company has paid aggressively to acquire talent, leading to mixed financial results. My investment thesis is more Neutral on the stock after the surge…
ridvan_celik One of the best feelings in the world is seeing an opportunity that you were very bullish about appreciate materially in a rather short window of time. Last year, because of the plunge in financial stocks that came about because of the banking crisis, I found myself gravitating toward banks of all shapes and…
Sergio Delle Vedove/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Since I wrote about the Italian luxury outerwear brand Moncler (OTCPK:MONRF) (OTCPK:MONRY) in October last year, the stock is up by 28%, which flies in the face of my Hold rating on it at the time.

Leila Melhado Introduction In this article, we will be looking at Latin American giant MercadoLibre, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:MELI) recent Q4 earnings release.

24K-Production Investors in embattled specialized hospital REIT operator Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (NYSE:MPW) were likely stunned the recent release of MPW’s fourth-quarter earnings results didn’t lead to a further downfall in its stock.

Justin Sullivan A lot has happened since my last article on Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA). The last set of quarterly earnings was a true blowout.

courtneyk Investment Thesis PROG Holdings (NYSE:PRG) continues to be a solid performer among a tough economy and rising interest rates. Given its recent Q4 earnings, I believe the stock is a hold but continue to be optimistic about the company’s long-term potential. However, given its valuation, I believe most of its growth prospects are priced…
JHVEPhoto Telenor (OTCQX:TELNY) offers a high-dividend yield, but this is more the result of poor dividend sustainability than being an income opportunity, thus investors should avoid its shares. As I’ve covered in a previous article, Telenor offers an attractive dividend yield, but its dividend sustainability is questionable, and therefore it’s not a great income pick…

patpitchaya Celsius Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CELH) investors have seen the stock continuing to defy gravity, notwithstanding my caution on CELH in my previous update in December 2023. After suffering a momentary decline of more than 30% from CELH’s September 2023 as it bottomed out at the $48 level, buyers returned aggressively. Consequently, CELH outperformed the S&P…
MarsBars It’s easy to say that emotions should be taken out of investing, but that’s hard to implement in real life.

SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Investment thesis Antero Midstream Corporation (NYSE:AM) is a profitability star offering a very generous dividend yield to investors. While its heavy reliance on Antero Resources Corporation (AR), its primary customer, presents a significant concentration risk, I believe the potential benefits for investors outweigh this concern. Alongside a promising forward dividend…
SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images After warning investors months ago to not look back at an opportunity to invest in the beaten down Lumen Technologies (NYSE:LUMN), a positive move by the stock following Q4’24 results provided some hope the telecom had indeed turned around the business.

Sundry Photography While Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:ENPH) hinted at the solar sector market hitting bottom in the next quarter or so, the stock has already surged off the bottom.

SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Investment Thesis I am confident that Trane Technologies (NYSE:TT) can sustain its revenue growth in the high single digits for the foreseeable future by outpacing its end markets through market share gains and increasing operational efficiency.

Galeanu Mihai/iStock via Getty Images Zscaler (NASDAQ:ZS) has been one of the strongest tech stocks as of late. It isn’t hard to see why: the cybersecurity company has posted top-notch fundamental results over the past year in spite of a tough macro environment, generating best-in-class growth rates and showing expanding operating margins. While the stock…
Kimberly White Intuit (NASDAQ:INTU) is qualitatively one of the best businesses I’ve analyzed. However, the adjustments the company makes to its non-GAAP metrics might be the most significant I’ve ever seen for a company of its size and stature. I believe many investors are overlooking how deeply overvalued the company is when non-GAAP adjustments are…
zimmytws Reaves Utility Income Trust (NYSE:UTG) is a high-quality closed-end fund, or CEF, mainly investing in utilities and infrastructure companies. As a result, it’s deemed designed to be suitable for income investors looking to benefit from the fund’s use of leverage to improve its distribution yield. However, the Fed’s significant rate hikes in 2022-23 have…

Risto0 Nokia Oyj (NYSE:NOK) is no longer the giant it used to be, but that does not mean the company is completely uninvestable.

Customers fill their gas tanks at an Exxon-branded gas station. hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Dividend growth isn’t always a cut-and-dry-positive. It probably sounds strange that I would say this as a dividend growth investor, but that’s because growing the dividend for the sake of growing it isn’t sustainable. Ideally, before growing a dividend, a…
Paul Morigi Co-authored with “Hidden Opportunities.” Value investing involves buying underappreciated businesses when others are selling them at a discount and then holding them for the long term. This approach led to some of Warren Buffett’s most significant and profitable investments, acquired when others panicked. During the 2008 financial crisis, when everyone was running away…
Justin Sullivan Investors in PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) are likely assessing whether the worst in its price decline could be over since my previous update in October (pre-earnings). I argued that while PYPL is expected to “stage a momentary reversal given oversold conditions,” there’s still much for PYPL buyers to prove to untether it from…
In 2021, Bank of America’s equivalent of the North American air defence system started flashing warning lights. “Norad”, as Glass, the bank’s market analytics platform trained to predict volatility is nicknamed internally, was pointing to a sharp rise in short-term interest rates.
