One of the most important areas of technological development has always been biotechnology. These products can have a profound effect, especially in medicine and agriculture. And due to the novel coronavirus, a large number of biotech stocks have been making headlines. According to recent research led by Ruklanthi de Alwis of the Duke-NUS Medical School:

Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock has been absolutely on fire in 2020, with shares rising more than 320% year-to-date as Wall Street has grown more bullish than ever on the hydrogen market and, more specifically, Plug Power’s ability to be a leader in this emerging clean energy category.

Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) stock is still very undervalued despite having risen almost 36% year-to-date and over 73% in the past year. BABA stock will rise over the next year because it is powered by the company’s consistently growing free cash flow (FCF).

Home décor e-tailer Wayfair (NYSE:W) stock is up more than 240% so far in 2020. But with heavy competition from more established e-commerce names, should investors be taking their profits now from Wayfair stock? Source: Jonathan Weiss / Shutterstock.com Not by a long shot.

Among those pandemic-proof stocks, e-commerce and cloud computing companies have led the pack. One segment of

While the novel coronavirus pandemic has been a trying time, many Americans are not letting it dampen their spirits. Instead, they’re refusing to let a “good” crisis go to waste. And an example of this dynamic is the volume surge in the markets. Ordinarily, you’d think that the worst pandemic in modern U.S. history would

In the last five years, technology companies have shifted focus. The new normal is to build a subscription-based business that revolves around the cloud. Most mega-tech companies have successfully transitioned … except IBM (NYSE:IBM). So it is not a surprise then to see IBM stock languish so low, comparatively.

Even mighty Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has not been immune to the September tech stock selloff. AMZN stock dropped 16% in the first two weeks of the month. Don’t expect that situation to last. Amazon announced Prime Day — its biggest shopping event of the year — will be taking place on October 13 and 14. That’s

Investors are constantly on the lookout for the next big thin sector which will usher in a wave of change in society.

Last month, I discussed the peculiar narrative behind hydrogen fuel cell specialist Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG). Starting off as one of the most promising technology startups, PLUG suffered years of disappointment. However, the novel coronavirus pandemic has brought the company into a new light considering the vulnerabilities associated with fossil-fuel-based global supply chains. Suddenly, the left

When it comes to investing, it helps to be a straight shooter (and a bit of an optimist). But let’s call it for what it is: FAANG stocks, Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) included, have not been doing very well lately. In fact, FB stock stock is down about 12% from its high about a month ago. Source:

Out of 25 packaged food stocks with a market capitalization of more than $2 billion, Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND) has the best performance in 2020, up 123% through Oct. 1 If you broaden the search to include all food-related companies — both consumer cyclical and consumer defensive — Beyond Meat still has the best performance year

By best estimates, we’re less than a month away from the launch date of the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 12 — an event that will have a huge impact on AAPL stock.

Infrastructure stocks were thrown out the window in March 2020. Not because they weren’t quality companies, but because prospects looked bleak for their success.  As the U.S. and global economy began to shut down — literally — it put spending on the back-burner. Construction sites, commercial projects and more slowed or came to a stop.

It should go without saying that when it comes to Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), there’s no need to panic. Yes, Tesla stock has pulled back 19% from all-time highs just above $500. But the stock still has nearly quintupled year-to-date, soaring a sizzling 740% over the past twelve months. Source: franz12 / Shutterstock.com It’s not just the

While the S&P 500 and a wide range of stocks continue their September slide, many investors are understandably jittery, wondering if a second market crash is coming this year. In response, they’re searching for industries that can offer more stability, but also growth and income over the coming quarters. One such group are the so-called
