Here’s something I shared on Twitter recently: Some people thought I was being hyperbolic. Maybe so. That’s the point of social media sometimes. Then I read the latest Eye on the Market fromMichael Cembalest who said what I said only much more eloquently: Here’s the interesting thing about the stock market: it cannot be indicted, arrested or deported; it cannot be intimidated, threatened or bullied; i.

2025 has been a difficult year for artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor stocks so far, as the sector has been hit hard by a spate of negative news that has led investors to overlook the strong results that companies in this sector have been delivering. Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) , however, managed to buck that trend by handsomely crushing Wall Street's expectations and delivering solid guidance when it released its fiscal 2025 first-quarter results (for the quarter ended Feb. 2) on March 6.

The recent pullback in the stock market may have some investors on edge. The stocks selling off the most over the last couple of weeks are the same ones that led the stock market higher over the previous two years: artificial intelligence stocks. Several factors have led to the recent dip in the biggest AI stocks , including advances by China's DeepSeek AI and growing economic uncertainty.

It's been a while since data center equipment company Vertiv 's (NYSE: VRT) stock looked like a great value, but that time has come around again. The ongoing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) applications creates unprecedented data growth, which only means more investment in data centers. The good news is that the broad-based sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) and some near-term negative news have brought stocks like Vertiv back into value range, and now could be a great

It hasn't been a great start to the year for Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) stock. Shares are down 16% year to date as investors' faith in the electric vehicle (EV) growth story dwindles. The company itself is still in its early stages when expenses remain high and earning a profit is still relatively far out. One would think some of those investors would instead seek a profitable EV maker like Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).

Last year, Summit Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SMMT) was one of the stars of the biotech industry. The company's shares soared following a significant clinical win. Summit's market capitalization of $15.3 billion is exceedingly rare among clinical-stage drugmakers, signaling the market's positive feelings toward this rising company. Now, Summit has recently made a move that could pay even more significant dividends down the road and improve its prospects.

Warren Buffett is famous for his patience, as well as his sharp focus on finding investments that are priced at the right valuation, and equipped to continue gaining in value for years and years. Something he isn't as famous for is that he detests all forms of cryptocurrency, even Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC). But that doesn't mean you can't apply some of his investment principles to evaluating cryptocurrency investments.

For many, or most, of us, it's smart to aim for average returns, because they're rather powerful and they can be simple to achieve -- by socking money away in one or more low-fee, broad-market index funds such as one that tracks the S&P 500. If you're looking for above -average returns, you might want to devote a portion of your portfolio to growth stocks.

Even well-run companies face hard times now and again. In fact, it is the ability to survive the hard times that makes a company well run in the first place. Wall Street, however, tends to always react to hard times in the same way, by selling the company facing them. That can open up opportunities that turn into the best investments, with some situations being rare, once-in-a-decade chances to buy a great stock.

The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite index is having a forgettable 2025 so far as it recently entered correction territory following remarkable gains in 2023 and 2024 thanks to catalysts such as artificial intelligence (AI). Investors have apparently been booking profits in high-flying tech stocks amid economic uncertainty arising out of the tariff-induced trade war, a decline in consumer confidence in February, and a tepid February jobs report.

That's one of several reasons it is home to solid dividend stocks, including Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) , two of the leading pharmaceutical companies in the world. In addition to their strong income profiles, both drugmakers look incredibly cheap at their current levels, making them excellent picks.

Berkshire Hathaway , the massive conglomerate run by investing legend Warren Buffett , sold a lot of shares in 2024. Berkshire significantly trimmed its stakes in two of its largest holdings, Apple and Bank of America , and the company hasn't been too interested in buying its own stock, repurchasing far fewer shares in 2024 than in prior years. Buffett and Berkshire historically have been excellent at buying high-quality companies at attractive prices and holding them for long periods.

Semiconductor stocks have delivered decent returns over the past three years, which is evident from the 38% gains clocked by the PHLX Semiconductor Sector index during this period. But not all companies have benefited from the broader surge in the sector. Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL) is one such name. Shares of the chipmaker have remained almost flat during this period, and that's largely due to the recent plunge in its share price.

With the stock market in a correction, some investors are likely to remain a bit pessimistic. There are many unknowns about the effect of tariffs, and the market hates uncertainty. However, I think there are multiple stocks that can rise above any doubts, and these ones could soar before 2025 is over.
