MarketBeat Week in Review – 05/26 - 05/30
Despite a tame inflation read, tariff concerns still weigh on investors as the Trump administration's tariff plans will now be litigated in Federal court This story originally appeared on MarketBeat Stocks struggled to find direction after a Federal Court struck down the tariffs that the Trump administration proposed on "Liberation Day." The ruling was reversed on appeal, but it adds another layer of complexity to an ongoing concern for investors. Another concern is inflation. Friday's reading of the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index showed that inflation is cooling. This raises two questions for investors. First, is this the calm before tariffs cause inflation to move higher? Second, how strong are consumers really? The answers that companies gave this earnings season are "maybe" and "it depends on which consumer." With so many unanswered questions, investors could probably use a quieter summer, but that may not be the case this year. Tariff uncertainty and the likely drama over the Trump administration's major legislative bill moving through Congress will frame the narrative for stocks over the coming months. No matter what happens in the market, the MarketBeat analysts will keep you informed, so investors can step away from their screens. Here are some of our most popular articles from this week. Articles by Thomas Hughes The earnings report from NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) has become a "must-see" event for investors. Before the chip maker reported, Thomas Hughes used technical analysis to explain why NVDA stock may rally more than 50% above its pre-earnings level. Workday Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY) was another AI stock that reported earnings this week. WDAY stock fell on the company's weaker-than-expected guidance. However, Hughes reminds investors that growth is still growth, particularly in an area like artificial intelligence. Nuclear stocks received a boost this week as the Trump administration fulfilled its campaign promise to reduce regulation for the industry. Hughes highlighted three nuclear stocks poised for strong growth. Articles by Sam Quirke Love it or hate it, you can't ignore Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock. But this week, Sam Quirke explained why investors may want to hit the Buy button. Elon Musk's return is refocusing investors on Tesla's non-EV ambitions, which Quirke pointed out may be why the stock moves higher. Speaking of stocks that could rally, Quirke explained why investors might want to look at Ltd. (NASDAQ: WIX). The cloud-based website development platform company's stock dropped over 16% after a mixed earnings report, but Quirke gave investors three reasons to believe a significant rally is coming this summer. Normally, stocks with a high relative strength indicator (RSI) are prime candidates to move lower. However, Quirke identified two stocks with scorchingly high RSIs that continue to enjoy favorable analyst sentiment, which could lead to higher highs. Articles by Chris Markoch The fact that Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) announced another deal is no longer an event that moves PLTR stock. However, Chris Markoch pointed out that its latest deal with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is the company's first $1 billion contract. It's another milestone for the company but may already be priced into the stock. Dividend stock investors know that when it comes to metrics like yield and payout ratio if a number seems too good to be true, it frequently is. However, Markoch analyzed three dividend stocks that have juicy payout ratios, but are still safe stocks to own. The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) is one of the year's best-performing stocks. It's rival PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) has been a laggard. This week, Markoch explained why both companies merit a place in portfolios, but PEP stock may have a stronger upside for the rest of the year. Articles by Gabriel Osorio-Mazilli With more autonomous vehicles being tested and deployed for commercial use, it's become an investable theme for more than speculative investors. This week, Gabriel Osorio-Mazilli highlighted two ideas for investors, and Waymo is the key to each. Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: UBER) has surprised some investors by emerging as almost a pure-play for autonomous vehicles. The ride-sharing company recently signed a deal with Waymo, which is already delivering over 250,000 monthly rides. However, another way to play that thesis is to go right to the source. In this case that means buying stock in Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), which is the parent company of Waymo. With Alphabet facing headwinds in other parts of its business, Waymo's projected growth could be a reason for investors to buy the dip. This week was also a big week for earnings from retail stocks. One of those reports came from Ross Stores Inc. (NASDAQ: ROST). Osorio-Mazilli pointed out that the report dropped the same day that the Trump administration announced a 50% tariff on the EU. However, the double beat from the discount retailer could be a discrepancy you can profit from. Articles by Leo Miller Many investors know that a stock like NVIDIA has coattails. But this week, Leo Miller highlighted the performance of Navitas Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: NVTS). The stock soared over 164% after the company announced a deal with NVIDIA. A pullback may be imminent, but Miller explained why the technology behind Navitas' chips is worth noting. Quantum computing stocks got a lift this week when sector leader IonQ Inc. (NASDAQ: IONQ) compared the company's future to that of NVIDIA. Miller analyzed IONQ along with other quantum stocks that will be leading this emerging sector. Pullbacks are normal when stocks hit their 52-week highs. However, those dips can lead to opportunities. This week, Miller gave investors three stocks to consider, while each is down more than 50% from the 52-week high. Articles by Nathan Reiff Sticking with the quantum stock theme, Nathan Reiff analyzed the strong move in D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) stock. The company recently launched its most powerful commercially available quantum system, Advantage2. Reiff noted that it will be hard for skeptics to ignore the stock's potential, but investors should still be concerned about valuation. Articles by Dan Schmidt During times of volatility, investors want to find stocks that offer stability, but with the potential to outperform. Dan Schmidt gave investors three blue-chip stocks with a history of solid earnings growth and safe dividends. The Trump administration's executive orders on nuclear power may accelerate the development of small nuclear reactors (SMRs). Schmidt helped investors understand the significance of SMRs in the sector and highlighted three nuclear stocks that stand to benefit. Before you make your next trade, you'll want to hear this.

MarketBeat Week in Review – 05/19 - 05/23
Stocks were moving lower to end the week as tariff concerns returned; however NVIDIA earnings next week may help investors climb the wall of worry This story originally appeared on MarketBeat Stocks were moving lower to end the week as tariff concerns took center stage heading into the long holiday weekend. Prior to two social media posts from President Trump, the NASDAQ and S&P 500 looked like they might eke out a small gain for the week. Investors (and the bond market) are also focusing on the contents of the "big, beautiful bill" that passed the House of Representatives. Senate approval of the bill in its current form looks unlikely. However, for now, these headlines look like more bricks in the wall of worry investors are climbing. Next week will be a short trading week, ending with the latest reading on the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index. It's likely to show cooling inflation, which may calm markets. Oh, and NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) reports after the market closes on Wednesday. Investors will be laser-focused on the company's guidance and what it means for the AI trade. Articles by Thomas Hughes Higher interest rates have put a damper on solar stocks. But as Thomas Hughes wrote this week, Nextracker Inc. (NASDAQ: NXT) is bucking the trend. After the company delivered a strong earnings report, Hughes explained why NXT stock may be heading for a new all-time high in 2025. Hims & Hers Health Inc. (NYSE: HIMS) has been one of the best-performing stocks in 2025. However, the last couple of months have been anything but smooth sailing for the stock. Hughes dives into the chart and explains why technical indicators point to a breakout, if short sellers don't spoil the party. Shares of Deere & Co. (NYSE: DE) moved to an all-time high after earnings. Hughes broke down the earnings report, which included bullish analyst sentiment as a reason to believe that the blue-chip company is likely to continue to outperform in 2025. Articles by Sam Quirke Technology stocks, and particularly the Magnificent 7 stocks, got a lift from the U.S.-China tariff pause announced in early May. However, if you like the gains in Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) in May, Sam Quirke explained why this may be the last month investors will be able to get the stock on sale. Although Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ: NFLX) is not part of the Mag 7, it's been on a magnificent run of around 40% since the beginning of April. Quirke analyzed NFLX stock and explained why analysts are falling in line behind strong fundamentals that are likely to lift the stock higher. Quirke also made the case for another tech stalwart, Salesforce Inc. (NYSE: CRM). Up 11% in the last months, CRM stock has been staging a comeback, and Quirke explained why signs point to a return to all-time highs by June. Articles by Chris Markoch One way to evaluate a dividend stock is to look for companies that are increasing their dividend payouts. This week, Chris Markoch pointed investors to three companies that recently raised their dividends. However, he explained that investors may want to wait before they buy one of them. Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTR) continued to defy expectations this week. However, Markoch wrote that institutional investors are still catching up to this stock. That hesitancy for the big money to jump in may continue to work to retail investors' advantage. This week's tariff threat aside, investors may still want to look at European stocks. Markoch wrote about the performance of Heineken N.V. (OTCMKTS: HEINY) in 2025. The stock's valuation and bullish sentiment point to higher prices. Articles by Ryan Hasson Warren Buffett may be retiring, but he's still making headlines. This week, Ryan Hasson wrote the latest 13-F filing from Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.B) that includes a confidential mystery stock that is keeping investors guessing. Berkshire Hathaway isn't the only company issuing 13-F filings. This is the season when many hedge funds make filings. This week, Hasson highlighted five stocks that are being favored by some of the world's most respected hedge fund managers. Hasson also explained some technical signals that support a significant gain for CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD). The stock is a standout in the cybersecurity sector, and Hasson pointed out why analysts believe CRWD stock may be headed to an all-time high. Articles by Gabriel Osorio-Mazilli Although many retail investors love the thrill of hunting for their own stocks, it can help to have some guidance. This week Gabriel Osorio-Mazilli highlighted Morningstar's top three value stocks for 2025, and explained why the firm may find the stocks appealing. Osorio-Mazilli also focused on the latest moves being made by legendary hedge fund manager Ray Dalio. Investors may be surprised to find out which stocks Dalio is exiting, but even more surprised to find out the stocks he's been buying. The Magnificent 7 trade is heating up, but as Osorio-Mazilli pointed out this week, the seven stocks aren't trading in lock step anymore. Instead, investors are grouping the stocks into stable blue-chip names and volatile growth stocks. Articles by Leo Miller Earnings season is buyback season. This week, Leo Miller focused on three stocks that have announced a total of $9 billion in stock buybacks. However, Miller also highlighted the other news that makes these stocks attractive buys even without the buybacks. Stocks that have recently gone public carry risk, but many traders just can't stay away. That's the case with CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV). The stock went public in late March but is up 148% in the 30 days ending May 22. The company has an impressive partnership with NVIDIA, but is still in the growth stage and Miller explains why analysts believe the stock may be overextended. After a company reports earnings, it's time for analysts to weigh in. This week, Miller examined three stocks that are getting higher price targets from analysts after posting strong earnings. This is usually a signal that the stock is about ready to move higher. Articles by Nathan Reiff Quantum computing stocks had another strong week, and that included D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS). This week, Nathan Reiff helped investors understand how D-Wave stacked up against some of its biggest rivals. The 90-day pause in the tariff war between the U.S. and China is causing Chinese stocks to take off. That's also been good news for four China ETFs that Reiff highlighted this week for investors looking to gain exposure to the Chinese market. This week, NVIDIA made news regarding its efforts to advance humanoid robots. Reiff explained why this should be bullish for robotic stocks and gave investors two robotics stocks that are poised to capitalize on this trend.

Facebook tops content removal complaints at Irish dispute body
Appeals Centre Europe says Meta started implementing its non-binding decisions. ADVERTISEMENT Three in four complaints received since November by the Irish Appeals Centre Europe (ACE), which gathers complaints from social media users about content removal or moderation under the EU's platform rules, were from Facebook users, the authority said in a statement. Some 21% relate to TikTok, and 3% from YouTube, ACE added. The organisation, which began its work late last year to provide an alternative to often costly and time-consuming legal routes to redress and to reduce the burden on regulators and courts, said it received more than 1,500 complaints from users challenging the three online platforms' decisions. It has ruled in 10% of those cases about content on Facebook and TikTok. 'In over half of our decisions about content on Facebook (77 of 141 decisions), we agreed with the user who submitted the dispute - overturning Meta's original decision to leave up or take down the content,' ACE said. 'While our decisions are non-binding, platforms must engage with dispute settlement bodies like the Appeals Centre. Meta has already started implementing our decisions,' the organisation added. Disputes were about potential violations of platforms' rules on adult nudity, followed by bullying and harassment, and restricted goods and services - which covers user references to products like drugs and alcohol. Complaints Euronews reported last month that the European Commission has said it will consider concerns of appeals bodies, after they called for better cooperation with online platforms. A group of eight appeals bodies called for a meeting to present initial experiences with reviewing content moderation decisions under the DSA. Thomas Hughes, CEO of ACE, said: 'We've received 1,500 disputes from across the EU. But this is only the tip of the iceberg when compared to the number of content moderation actions these platforms are making. Platforms must do more to ensure that their users know about – and can benefit from – bodies like the Appeals Centre." Besides the Irish, the digital services regulators in Germany, Malta and Hungary were the first across Europe to approve these dispute bodies under the Digital Services Act (DSA). The DSA became applicable to the largest online platforms in August 2023, and to all other platforms early 2024. Its obligations include requirements for corporate transparency about ads and content moderation.
