Due to the dramatic rise and integration of e-commerce, it’s no surprise that many companies have set their crosshairs on Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).

As we’re watching new infections of the novel coronavirus come down from their peak earlier this year, multiple businesses are anxiously holding their breath. But perhaps no sector wants a return to normal more so than lodgings and hospitality. That includes technology firm Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB).

Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) will hold a shareholder meeting on April 14 to vote on its proposed merger with Aphria (NASDAQ:APHA). In effect, it will be a reverse merger.

While we’ve seen some crazy moves over the trailing year, one company I didn’t expect to light up the performance leaderboard is Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN).

But with the very positive session across the board for major indexes on March 26, tech might be making a

I’ve been following Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) stock since not long after it joined the public markets. It’s been a bumpy ride.

Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) about even with its mid-September $240 initial public offering but it’s far below peak prices in the last six months. For example, SNOW stock closed at $325 a share on Nov. 30.

I’ve been handed another assignment to cover a stock I’ve never heard of. Apparently, Gevo (NASDAQ:GEVO) specializes in next-generation zero-carbon-emission fuels for planes, trains and automobiles — I made that last part up because I love John Candy movies — and is a business I ought to know about. More importantly, GEVO stock is up more

Thanks to the power of coordinated trading on social media and the easy access to equities that mobile trading apps like Robinhood provide, it’s never been easier to speculate on

There aren’t many better growth stories in the market than The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD). But the TTD stock price suggests investors have forgotten that fact.

There are often frequent comparisons between Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ:PENN) and Draftkings (NASDAQ:DKNG). However, the companies couldn’t be more different. Penn National owns or has interests in some 40 gaming properties across 19 states, under well-recognized brands such Hollywood Casino and Boomtown. Draftkings, on the other hand, has an app — and it’s a money-losing

GameStop (NYSE:GME) exists in a world of its own. Trading at nearly $200 per share, GME stock is valued at more than 10x what it was priced at to begin the year.
