Stocks to buy

At the end of last year, I wrote that analysts’ earnings projections for Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) were $9.46 per share for 2021. Now those same analysts have average earnings per share (EPS) forecasts of $30.12 for 2021, or over 3 times the prior numbers. I wrote that MRNA stock was worth $180. But as of Friday,

ViacomCBS (NASDAQ:VIAC) produced excellent growth for its Q2 results ending June 30, but free cash flow (FCF) was disappointing. Except for its growth in Q1 2021, the company said that its FCF was just $75 million, vs. $1.589 billion last quarter. Nevertheless, VIAC stock could be at least 23% higher next year if its FCF

The markets are entering the last quarter of another eventful year for equities as an asset class. Without doubt, the year will be remembered for Reddit and Meme stocks. It’s also a year when Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) trading platform gained significant traction as millennials took a plunge into stock trading. In general, meme stocks were among

It’s no secret the investing world is obsessed with all-electric vehicles (EVs). Several EV stocks, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) being chief among them, have given investors triple-digit gains this year. But in recent weeks, the stocks have seen a correction. Against this backdrop, QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock, down 12.5% last month, becomes an interesting play. Source: Michael Vi/Shutterstock.com

Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ:SAVA), the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) drug company, certainly has had a rough time. In fact, one author recently called SAVA stock a “volatile, battleground stock.” This is because the company has endured a number of short attacks recently. Most of these came out after their recent September release of 9-month Phase 2 results.

Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock is in a slump. It’s not anywhere near the extent of punishment it suffered in 2019 when NIO stock plummeted 85% in 8 months. However, NIO is down 29% from the end of June when it was trading just over the $53 mark. And it’s down about 30% since the start of the

Cinema stocks weren’t buzzworthy until 2021 when movie theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) became a target of Reddit traders. Once they took hold of AMC stock, all bets were off and the share price soared.

Crowdstrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) is starting to see its shares recover this week after a 6-week dip that shaved 11% off their value. CRWD stock had been on a roll since March 2020. With the pandemic adding momentum to trends like remote work, remote learning, video streaming and online shopping, many companies have been investing in cyber security

A pharmaceutical play, Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) has been on the move. In fact, NVAX stock has risen nearly three times higher since November of last year.

However, despite the price appreciation, I believe there is still plenty of upside

The Nasdaq 100 Index has more than doubled from its pandemic lows in the past year. It includes the top 100 non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange with the largest market capitalization. With such a strong performance, Nasdaq 100 stocks can be a powerful addition to a portfolio. A large number of investors are

Sofi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) has been incredibly volatile over the last few months. In May, SOFI stock bottomed along with most other high-growth stocks. That was as the group’s bear market came to an end.  Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com Soon after, shares erupted, nearly hitting $25 and for a moment climbing more than 75% from the

Backed by billionaire Bill Ackman, Pershing Square Tontine (NYSE:PSTH) may have been one of the hottest special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) earlier this year. However, after what played out last month, that’s certainly no longer the case. As fellow InvestorPlace contributor Ian Bezek recently wrote, this name’s deal to purchase a stake in Universal Music

Just because we hit retirement, doesn’t mean we’re making a total shift to bonds. There are still stocks to buy that are both interesting and profitable. But more times than not, investors at that stage are looking for some income. That involves a lot more than just screening dividend stocks and sorting by yield. Investors

Luminar (NASDAQ:LAZR) has fallen on tough times as of late, but LAZR stock will be shining in the lidar spotlight soon enough. Source: JHVEPhoto/shutterstock.com Luminar’s weakness in the near-term price action doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. For one, the near-term fundamental trends underlying the self-driving company are as strong as ever, making this

Rejection can be painful, especially if you’re a longtime investor in Canadian cannabis company Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL). Time and again, SNDL stock has flirted with the key $1 level, but gravity keeps pulling it back down.

Canadian-based software company Sphere 3D (NASDAQ:ANY) is known for a range of tech-centered services, including “containerization, virtualization, and data management solutions via hybrid cloud, cloud and on-premise implementations.” Yet, there’s another angle to ANY stock which you might not have considered.

Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) released its second-quarter results on Aug. 5 and updated the market on its Covid-19 vaccine progress. Their Covid candidate has performed well in its Phase 3 trials and the company expects to apply for emergency use authorization (EUA) for distribution in the U.S. during Q4. As a result, it looks like NVAX stock

Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) is still a growth stock, despite the fact that it’s been falling lately. In fact, in my last article on ROKU stock, I wrote that it could end up falling some 20% to 30% from Aug. 11. That was when it was at $369.21. Since then, it has fallen 9%. Source: Michael Vi

Backed against the wall by the rise of Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM), Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) is putting all its financial chips (and more) on the line, which has big implications for INTC stock.

While some investors like to manage their portfolios actively, others prefer to buy stocks under $100 for the long term. This means holding onto shares for as long as thirty years, or even forever. However, you can’t hold just any stock indefinitely. Plenty of companies seem like a great bet one year, only to plummet
