Novavax’s Covid-19 vaccine still isn’t approved for use in the U.S. With the pandemic in full retreat and the majority of people now fully vaccinated, demand for Novavax’s vaccine is likely to be weak.

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) reports its first quarter 2022 earnings on Tuesday after the markets close. If you own SOFI stock, I don’t think you need to worry about any negative surprises. The big elephant in the room — the federal student loan moratorium extended through August — and its effect on its business here in

Given QuantumScape’s (NYSE: QS) relatively high valuation and the fact that its batteries, in a best-case scenario, won’t be commercialized for many years, the risk/reward ratio of QS stock is unfavorable at this point. Also worth noting is that investors are rather skeptical about pre-revenue companies such as QuantumScape in the current macro environment, while

The number of zombie companies ebbs and flows with economic cycles and usually increases during recessionary periods.

EV upstart Lucid Motors (NASDAQ:LCID) delivered a strong earnings beat with its first-quarter results. Investors were lackadaisical, though, as LCID stock shed close to 12% of its value on its post-earnings sell-off. Analysts were expecting the EV firm to lose 31 cents per share on sales of $55.6 million. However, actual results came in significantly

The S&P 500 has been getting pummeled. That goes for the index, the S&P futures (ES) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY). SPY stock is not the worst performer of the major U.S. indices, though. The Nasdaq is, barely edging out the Russell 2000, with its 26% decline. SPY is down about 15% from

ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT) is a California-based company that provides electric vehicle (EV) charging networks and charging solutions.

CHPT stock shot up as high as $45 in late 2020 following the launch of its SPAC deal. Since then, however, ChargePoint has

2022 has not been so great for many tech stocks, causing them to lose massive amounts of value. No one has been spared, and Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ:OPEN) is a classic example. Shares of the San Francisco-based company are down 50% in the year. However, there is a case developing that OPEN stock might have bottomed

Matterport (NASDAQ:MTTR) on April 28 announced that it is opening new sales channels and increasing customer service operations in Japan. The expansion is great to see. But until the company is on better financial footing — or the markets are less uncertain — I wouldn’t put my money in MTTR stock just yet. In its news

 Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) reports its first-quarter results on Thursday. There are two reasons investors should not buy LCID stock before earnings.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is down 15% since it released its first-quarter results on April 28. The online merchant had a massive outflow of free cash flow (FCF) in the last 12 months. This does not bode well for AMZN stock going forward. The reason is its FCF, after including repayments of finance leases and financing obligations, was

It has not been an easy ride lately, particularly for Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD). AMD stock is down 44% from its high in fourth-quarter 2021 and 37% so far this year. Tech stocks, growth stocks and more specifically, semiconductor stocks have been under pressure. That’s a triple-whammy when it comes to a stock like AMD.

Gevo (NASDAQ:GEVO) announced plans to help Delta Airlines (NYSE:DAL) cut its carbon emissions by supplying Delta with its sustainable aviation fuel. That could be great for the environment, but it probably doesn’t make GEVO stock a buy yet. GEVO produces liquid carbons that are made into gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel fuel, and when these fuels

The earnings train steams along. After a week of largely positive quarterly results from leading technology companies, the focus in the coming days turns to leading blue-chip companies, many of which are household names. Over the next week, we will hear from several top tier prescription drug makers, travel companies, technology companies, and food and

Costco (NASDAQ:COST) is an incredible retail machine. COST stock keeps on going up and up; it has nearly doubled since the beginning of 2020 and it’s up more than 200% over the past five years. This has started to attract some naysayers who say that Costco should be selling off like so many other companies that

If the backdrop of electric vehicle (EV) focused shell company Gores Guggenheim (NASDAQ:GGPI) only featured soaring gasoline prices with all other factors being normal (as in pre-pandemic normal), then GGPI stock may very well be a buy. Who wouldn’t want to make the transition to EVs, especially in car crazy California, where the average per-gallon
