Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) was among Jim Cramer’s stock calls, as he discussed the rising market speculation. A caller asked if Cramer thinks the stock is a “good buy” or a “profitable buy.” In response, he said: Yeah, I do. I do. Now, we did sell for the Charitable Trust… nice gain. But we have

In March, the Consumer Price Index — which measures the average prices consumers pay for many everyday items — rose to 3.3% from 2.4% in February. This is largely due to soaring gas prices, which have affected other corners of the economy. Rising prices may also impact equity markets (in fact, they already have), which

After seeing the shares jump 171% in 2024 and another 39% in 2025, it’s understandable that Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) investors would be a little disappointed with how the stock has performed so far this year. Nvidia is showing gains of only 6% on the year, marking the stock’s worst performance so far since 2022. I’ve

Venture Global, Inc. (NYSE:VG) was among Jim Cramer’s stock calls, as he discussed the rising market speculation. When a caller mentioned that they are considering selling their VG shares and buying BKV shares, Cramer said: Oh, jeez, I like Venture Global. I think Venture Global could, you know, I didn’t like it initially, but it’s

Madison Air Solutions Corporation (NYSE:MAIR) was among Jim Cramer’s stock calls, as he discussed the rising market speculation. Discussing MAIR’s recent IPO, Cramer said: With the market now fully recovered from its Iran-related weakness and back to setting fresh all-time highs, it makes sense that the IPO window would open again. And sure enough, today

With the market reaching all-time highs and many growth stocks’ valuations looking stretched, some investors may be looking to bolster their portfolios with more substance. Companies with resilient cash flows and a substantial dividend yield can be a great way to anchor a portfolio. And that brings me to Verizon (VZ 0.40%). Sure, the telecom

While fractional shares are becoming more common, removing the barrier to entry to many leading stocks, not every investor has access to them. As a result, looking at reasonably priced stocks becomes part of the artificial intelligence (AI) investing strategy. If you’ve only got $200 to spend on a stock and have to buy a

Lululemon Athletica (LULU +2.65%) has lost close to half of its valuation over the past five years. Investors have been dumping the stock in droves due to multiple reasons, and now, it’s trading at levels it hasn’t been at since 2020. The business has been facing challenges, but the brand is arguably still strong, especially

Over the last seven weeks, the stock market has taken investors on quite the ride. On the one hand, we’ve witnessed the widely followed Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI +1.79%) and innovation-propelled Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +1.52%) both briefly dip into correction territory, with the broad-based S&P 500 (^GSPC +1.20%) a stone’s throw from joining them.

Sandisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) spun off from Western Digital and returned to the stock market as an independent company back in early 2025. The pure-play flash memory company had a spectacular year, finishing as the top performer in the S&P 500, rising 559%. Rival Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) also surged, as demand for artificial intelligence (AI)

State Street Corporation Q1 2026 Earnings Call Summary – Moby Achieved record quarterly fee revenue and total revenue driven by broad-based growth across investment management, servicing, and markets.

Shares of tech giant Microsoft (MSFT +0.60%) climbed about 14% this week, recovering some lost ground after a sluggish start to the year. But despite the stock’s recent strong performance, I am still not interested in buying. At first glance, there’s a lot to like in Microsoft’s most recent financial results, including strong top- and

Statistically, the stock market tends to rise under most presidents. Dating back to the late 1890s, 26 of the last 33 terms have featured gains in the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI +1.79%) or benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC +1.20%). But under Donald Trump, annualized gains in the Dow, S&P 500, and tech-driven Nasdaq Composite

① This week, the three major A-share indices rebounded and rose, with the ChiNext Index reaching a new high in nearly 11 years; ② The battery industry chain surged, with CATL’s stock price continuing to hit a record high, and Shengyang Co., Ltd. gaining 61.12% for the week; ③ CPO concept stocks showed strong performance,

 The stock market is notorious for going in cycles. Growth and value shares come in and out of fashion at various times. So working out where we are now is key to figuring out where we might go next. And there are some signs for investors. A classic example of a stock market cycle is

After three years of roaring higher, artificial intelligence (AI) stocks have reached an inflection point. Investors have been slower to jump into the AI story in recent times due to various headwinds — from concerns about the strength of AI-driven revenue ahead to worries about the war in Iran. So, many stocks that led the

Image source: Getty Images With geopolitical tensions on the rise, energy prices spiking from trade route disruptions in the Middle East, and food also at risk of becoming far more expensive, fears of a stock market crash are creeping back into investors’ minds. However, by taking the right steps, investors can not only protect their

Sandisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) stock’s 2,000% gain just since August of last year makes enough superficial sense. Sandisk is one of only a handful of companies that make computer memory chips, and the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers is driving insatiable demand for computer memory. Stunningly, even with this huge run-up, Sandisk shares are still

During times of global turmoil like the Iran war, some investors might be tempted to say to themselves, “The world feels a little scary right now — I think I’ll sell some stocks and wait until the market calms down to buy more.” Or: “Now feels like a bad time to invest in stocks. I’ll

The Iran war has been on the minds of investors since U.S. airstrikes on Iran began on Feb. 28. The economically vital Strait of Hormuz has largely been closed, shutting off oil and gas shipments to markets around the world that depend on them. Oil prices have spiked. All this bad news and global uncertainty
