As you likely know, First Republic (NYSE:FRC) has been making headlines lately, and not in a good way. Over the past month, FRC stock has fallen by more than 88%. The fears driving these declines have been well-founded. Following the collapse of SVB Financial’s (OTCMKTS:SIVB) Silicon Valley Bank (or SVB) subsidiary, the San Francisco-based bank,

Tech stocks helped power the market higher on Wednesday and going into Friday will mark a couple of events. First, it will mark the end of March. Second, it will mark the end of the quarter.

Dallas-headquartered telecommunications giant AT&T (NYSE:T) now has a deal with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This should help solidify AT&T’s status as a 5G leader.

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN), a company based in Southern California that wants to make electric vehicles more accessible to consumers, has announced several important pieces of news lately.

This event could prove to be a pivotal moment for the company, and for the future trajectory of SOFI stock. 2022 has been a tough year for banks, both

It goes without saying that 2022 has been brutal for growth stocks, but Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) is a name that in particular has been hard hit. Year-to-date, CVNA stock is down 88.5%. What’s behind this stunning plunge in price for shares in this automotive e-commerce company? Rising interest rates, and their impact on stock market valuations,

Today, I have chosen six stocks hedge funds love. To simplify this, I decided to pick the top three stocks of two of the most watched hedge funds that are the most popular in the market. One of those funds is Michael Burry’s Scion Asset Management. We use the company’s 13-F holdings report from the

Just when things couldn’t get any worse for Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD), a report from the United States House of Representatives Financial Services Committee shows that the retail brokerage had far less liquidity than it suggested at the height of the meme stock phenomena. In the aftermath of that announcement, HOOD stock dropped about 5%, throwing

The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the growth of several e-commerce players as consumers moved to online shopping channels amid lockdowns. However, with the reopening of the economy, spending has shifted back to brick-and-mortar stores and to experiences like travel. Further, high inflation and fears of a recession are impacting consumers’ purchasing power. That said, the long-term

It turns out investing in a vacuum can be a poor idea, even a really strong sounding one. But in today’s current market and as that relates to Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), investors may have a less challenging time cleaning up as profitable buyers in GOOG stock. Shopify (NYSE:SHOP), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Alphabet are

I have chosen six recession-proof stocks to buy as the market boom ends. They pay dividends, have low payout ratios, low price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples, and good growth. As a result, these stocks have a good chance of surviving the oncoming recession, if, indeed, we aren’t already in one. Investors will stick with stocks that can

Fed-up investors who dumped Alibaba Group (NYSE:BABA) stock in March will regret it. BABA stock bottomed at $73.28 in mid-March 2022.

Source: helloabc / Shutterstock.com A negative report recently came out, and it’s replete with allegations against Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE:NIO). Consequently, traders should avoid NIO stock for now, or at least not add to any existing positions. In recent weeks, things had really been looking up for Nio shareholders. After making a 52-week low, in

The last time I wrote about Snap (NYSE:SNAP) was in late May, just after it gave shareholders a lump of coal, warning that revenue and earnings would be lower than initially expected. SNAP stock lost 40% in five trading days on the news.  My take on the warning was that its financials weren’t nearly as

After surging higher in late May, shares in video-game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) are holding steady at just over $120 per share. GME stock remains seemingly unsinkable right now. With the long side holding with diamond hands, and the short-side possibly getting carried away with their big bets against it, the “meme stock saga” continues. Yet

Investors are picky in the current environment. Spooked by rising inflation and interest rates, value stocks are getting the most attention. Therefore, despite some enticing elements, one cannot give a thumbs up to Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (NASDAQ:HYMC) stock.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Andy Jassy sent an email to company employees on Jun. 21 acknowledging that two of its senior executives, who happen to be black, were leaving the company.

It’s the very end of the current earnings season, with only a couple of companies left to report financial results.
