Analysis

TradingKey - Now that Black Friday was kicked off last week with the passing of Thanksgiving, investors are turning their attention to the state of the US consumer.

In my view, Visa (NYSE: V) and Novartis (NYSE: NVS) look likely to avoid this future, and both are worth investing in and holding onto for good. Let's look at both.

TradingKey - When we talk about stock market themes popular with investors right now, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most powerful. Unlike a lot of other thematics out there, though, AI has staying power. It’s no longer just a niche sector – it’s transforming industries everywhere, from

With how exciting the artificial intelligence (AI) investing space is right now, it's an excellent hunting ground for finding stocks with massive upside. Many have identified SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) as one AI stock with that kind of potential. So, could SoundHound AI be the next Palantir?

Technology veteran IBM (NYSE: IBM) is catching some tailwinds nowadays. The stock has gained more than 45% over the last year, boosted by the market frenzy for artificial intelligence (AI) experts.

That requirement narrows down my universe of possible stock picks dramatically. In the end, there's only one company that can meet my demands. Say hello to Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) -- the closest thing to an index fund in the form of a single company.

TradingKey - For investors, with Donald Trump set to take office as President of the US for a second time in January 2025, it’s sure to be an eventful four years.

With shares up 288% year to date, Palantir (NYSE: PLTR) is one of 2024's best-performing artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, easily beating out hardware giant Nvidia (up 188%). But do this data analytics company's fundamentals justify its $140 billion market cap?

Netflix, now one of the world's largest technology companies, is the gold standard of the streaming industry. Although many competitors have entered the fray, Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) remains one of the field's oldest players, with ties to Netflix's early years in streaming.

The retailer reduced its forecast for the year, saw weak traffic even after reducing prices on a lot of items, and faces a challenged consumer base that isn't as inclined to spend on discretionary items the way it was in the past.

Netflix, Inc. provides entertainment services. It offers TV series, documentaries, feature films, and games across various genres and languages.

We've observed that NVIDIA's revenue and EBIT have both experienced year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter growth, albeit with a deceleration in year over year growth rates.

Once again NVDA results beat expectations in terms of revenue and earnings.

TradingKey - With the US set to celebrate Thanksgiving this week, the largest stock market in the world will be closed for trading on Thursday (28 November). Everyone will be visiting family and likely trying to nab good deals via “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” sales.

Nvidia has been one of the hottest stocks on the market in the past couple of years, as shares of the semiconductor giant have shot up remarkably thanks to the stunning demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips deployed in data centers.

It took a while, but e-commerce giant Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) finally topped its all-time high, last seen in 2021. You might be nervous since the broader market has continued to rip higher, a reminder of 2021, which, in hindsight, was primarily due to a market bubble caused by 0% interest rates.

By now, Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) business has been booming for so long that it's getting boring. As of the time of writing, shares are down by around 3% despite better-than-expected third-quarter earnings and a buoyant market for artificial intelligence (AI) hardware.

Snowflake's (NYSE: SNOW) stock soared 33% on Nov. 21 after the cloud-based data warehouse provider posted its latest earnings report. For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which ended on Oct. 31, its revenue rose 28% year over year to $942.1 million and exceeded analysts' expectations by $43.6M.
