The fintech sector has grown substantially, with digital services like banking and investing gaining popularity.

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock had a turbulent year, surging initially but dropping recently due to concerns about its performance and profitability. Shares are down 44% since August, due to somewhat disappointing Q1 results and no profit outlook for the new fiscal year. This has raised concerns about the company’s relatively high valuation.

On October 16, Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) celebrated its 100th anniversary. It’s too bad the good news will have little effect on DIS stock. It could use a big boost right now.

One of the big slogans favored by CNBC pundit Jim Cramer is, “There’s always a bull market somewhere.” I believe that’s true. But I think there’s also always a bear market somewhere. That’s because, even during good times, companies are always being hurt by new technologies, tough competition, and/or weak products. Additionally, there are always stocks whose
PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) remains the leader of the fintech space while it continues to increase and is still quite profitable. Moreover, PYPL stock trades at bargain-basement levels and has a new, up-and-coming CEO. Additionally, I believe the Street is overly worried about threats to PayPal’s dominance.

Gene editing is revolutionizing how the world approaches medicine.

But that’s just the start. As things progress, it may
QuantumScape’s (NYSE:QS) strategic partnership with Volkswagen (OTCMKTS:VWAGY) is perceived to be a massive positive in the corner of QS stock. Although the EV battery technology company remains in the pre-revenue stage, and keeps burning through hundreds of millions each year, those bullish on the stock believe it will all be worth it in the end.
In a previous article, I highlighted how AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock declined a whopping 13% on the same day a key catalyst in the form of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour being brought to the big screen.
