Good earnings, good company and business parameters, so, why is the stock declining? Can someone fill me in?

When you have a stock in your portfolio that’s worth 174 dollars per share, I guess it’s normal for us to be scared when even a gradual decline can be a scary thing. I admit the thought of selling crossed my mind a couple of times too. What scares... — read more

I’ve been watching Apple’s stock dip lately, and a big reason seems to be dropping iPhone sales in China - like a 17% plunge. Plus, I keep hearing their new AI features aren’t really sparking interest. Could this turn into a bigger problem? I’m a... — read more 

I’ve seen Palantir drop nearly 15% in just a few days, and it’s got me worried. That MIT study saying 95% of AI projects aren’t showing any real returns really makes me question the AI hype. Palantir’s valuation feels way too high, and with no clear... — read more 

This move appeals to income-focused investors seeking steady returns, and that will push the stock price up. Another plus is that the company's consistent dividend payouts reflect its stable financial position. Such reliability can be attractive in... — read more 

Not a bad earnings report. Looks like data storage is still in high demand.

Part of the reason is insider selling, with over 50% of shares being sold by executives in the past year. This pattern may indicate internal uncertainties or a shift in the company's strategic direction. While the company is still a leader in the... — read more 

Look at Sunrun scooting up yesterday thanks to that solar tax-update, finally some green in the green energy sector. It feels like a breath of fresh air after months of flatness. But the whole sector’s still jittery, who knows if this sticks. I’m... — read more 

First Solar’s stock jumped after that clean-energy tax credit news. It now looks like subsidies are still in play for them, which is a good thing. Could this finally spark a breakout after being stuck for a while? I have to admit, I am really, really... — read more 

JT doesn't seem safe. I feel like I'll get disappointed deeply later on. But I am tempted, I can't lie.

This is a reliable and steady stock. No surprises here, whether they be good or bad.

There are a lot of reasons why. Just wanted to check if anyone here can provide any good reasons to keep it.

SYY has a debe of 12 B dollars, but what frightens me even more is that the debt has risen by 11,26 from 2023. I’m no expert in finances but it seems like a big rise, don’t you think? Is this something that could bite us shareholders in the a-s any... — read more 

Maybe a great year for MCK is distracting us from seeing that the stock has been in a gradual decline for almost two months now. Is this something that we should be worried about? Is this just the market reacting to a relatively fast rise of the... — read more

Cigna’s stock is up recently but still nearly 20% below its 52-week high. What’s holding it back from a full recovery? Are there risks or challenges investors should watch out for before jumping in?

I’ve been thinking about buying Target shares. I saw the stock dipped last week and is down about 22% this year. Some say this dip could be a good buying opportunity, but with falling revenue, inventory issues, and a shaky turnaround plan, what if it... — read more 

Last week was pretty rough - the stock dropped nearly 20%! They actually reported solid earnings, with $1.00 EPS beating estimates and revenue hitting $1.53 billion, up 16% year-over-year. But then they announced the sale of their aerospace and... — read more

I guess analysts expect strong growth, including higher revenue and improved earnings per share. That’s a good sign, especially with 5G and automotive chips still in high demand. Something to consider for sure.

A bunch of analysts just raised their price targets for ZoomInfo’s stock. Some went up by $2, others by $4. But here’s the catch: many still have it rated as "underweight" or "reduce." So does this mean the stock is close to hitting bottom, or are... — read more

Realistically, what can you do here now? Nothing of relevance, really.

Huge valuation drop and a new CEO. Now they’re cutting costs hard to get back on track. Not something I was hoping to see.

I really didn’t expect it to bounce back this strongly. They’re betting on AI and cloud services now, not just hardware. But an analyst slapped a downgrade on them, saying they need to show real AI revenue, not just order numbers. So it's still not a... — read more 

Could turn out to be a game-changer for earnings.

I bought the stock for the long run last year but now that I’m in such a profitable position I’m thinking of selling. Should I keep it as I intended or take the money and run?

MS is doing good lately so the question in my mind is: How long can it continue? Anyone care to comment and bring up some arguments. Please note that I’m buzzing the stock in hopes to profit from the rise, not as a long term investment.

I know we can probably contribute this to a variety of reasons but would anyone care to point out the main ones? I’m just wondering whether to go with a smaller amount of shares with FedEX or a larger amount with UPS?I would appreciate it if... — read more

The last 5 years were a good run, the stock rose multiple times and, as far as I can see, it doesn’t show any sign of weakening. Can the growth be continued in the next 5 years as well, or are we talking about a stock that is close to its peak or has... — read more 

Ford’s stock is around $11.32, up a bit lately, but as a shareholder, I’m worried about tariffs. The company expects a $3 billion hit to profits this year because of them. Even though US sales and trucks do well, the EV division is losing big, and... — read more

Microsoft didn’t drop as much as the others this week, which is kind of a relief. They’re still pushing hard on AI, and that seems to be helping. And it certainly feels steadier than Amazon. In any case, Microsoft is not a stock you just unload, no... — read more 

Buy it, if you know what's good for you!

Its strength rating went up, which usually means it’s doing better than most stocks. But earnings have been kind of flat, and revenue’s down, so it’s not all great. This is one of those that I like to keep my eye on for a while before I make a... — read more 

Amazon dropped hard - around 8% - after people didn’t like what they said about cloud revenue. I thought the earnings looked okay, but the future outlook kinda ki-led it. Seems like everyone was hoping for more. I’m still holding, but I’m watching... — read more

I mean what do these guys do now, how profitable is their business now and are they even a fraction of a stable company they once were? If I get at least some positive takes on this I’m willing to throw some money in, given that the stock is cheap.

As good as Micron looks to me, the volatility of the stock is bugging me. What’s producing this, and could this be a sign of a long term instability of Micron?

…or could the decline be tied to the general decline that most (is not all) the major healthcare companies are having?

The stock keeps dropping slowly and it never seems to be able to bounce back. Should we be worried?

So the earning call is coming up and it got me thinking. As far as I can see the analysts are confident that good results are going to be announced and that the stock will continue on a slow and steady growth trajectory. But can we be confident that... — read more

What's wrong with HBIO this month? I expected better than this and honestly I'm really disappointed. I should sell ASAP.

Apple’s getting a bit of attention after Jefferies upgraded the stock to "Hold," but it didn’t feel super positive, especially with Apple’s falling behind on AI. Still, one big asset manager just bought a bunch more AAPL shares, adding over 140,000... — read more
