Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is a well-known player in the U.S. cyber-defense industry. The company won’t easily dominate the global cybersecurity market. Despite the high price, we still rate PLTR stock a “B” for its potential rally in 2024. Palantir Technologies is a favorite among momentum-focused technology stock investors. For instance, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest purchased over 1.5 million shares of Palantir

Home prices have hit another all-time high, and mortgage rates have begun to fall — but that won’t be enough to revive the housing market just yet, according to one expert. Even though borrowing costs are dropping, drawing home buyers off the sidelines, the “lock-in effect” of homeowners being reluctant to sell and give up

For now, Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) chips, which other companies use to create AI, are considered vastly superior to those of NVDA’s competitors. As a result, Nvidia can charge exorbitant amounts for those chips. But the AI chips of one of Nvidia’s major competitors, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), appears to be starting to gain great respect in the marketplace,

By Kwanwoo Jun Posco Holdings’ shares climbed after the steelmaker unveiled a joint venture project to produce rare gases for making semiconductors in South Korea.

The biggest story in AI right now is one that hardly anyone is talking about. Yet, it involves the world’s richest men, the world’s most powerful companies, and the world’s fastest computers. It is the highest stakes story in AI yet. It will determine the winners and losers of the AI Boom in 2024. And

For generations, Broadway fans have sought out prime seats for evening performances, firm in their conviction that a night out on the town is exactly that — an opportunity to celebrate the magic of theater, so long as it’s after sunset. And the matinee crowd? That has tended to be senior-oriented, suburban and a bit

Dear MarketWatch,  I am 51 and would like to retire by 55. I will only have about $125,000 in retirement accounts plus another $35,000 in non-retirement accounts. I plan on moving out of the U.S. as I have a house that’s fully paid for overseas. After living there a year, I will get residency in

Dear Big Move, My fiancée and I agreed to buy a house that was more than what we expected to pay, but we both liked it.  We agreed that I would make the mortgage payments, and she would pay the taxes every year. When we bought the house, we decided to pay the taxes separately

The outsized returns of the S&P 500 this year were driven by the returns of just a handful of stocks. Remove the so-called Magnificent 7 from the equation and the benchmark index’s performance was relatively flat. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, on the other hand, enjoyed a much more broad-based movement higher. This is what

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock has been on a tear thus far in December. After making a relatively big move during November it continues its assent. As a result, this AI chip contender has hit a new 52-week high. To many, it may seem as if shares could keep rallying, with the stock re-hitting its

It’s a seasonal ritual that countless families enjoy — getting dressed in their holiday finest and heading off to see a local production of the “The Nutcracker,” that candy-coated ballet that celebrates all things Christmas. It’s also a ritual that’s critical to the bottom line of many dance companies, which depend on those solid “Nutcracker”

It’s been an interesting year for enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) company C3.ai (NYSE:AI), to say the least. Even though the market was obsessed with machine learning in 2023, AI stock made big moves in both directions. This is likely to persist in 2024, but if you can handle the ups and downs, then feel free to take

The trillion-dollar market cap club is currently dominated by the tech sector. But will two traditional retail giants eventually find themselves among this rarefied crowd? Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Costco (NASDAQ:COST) still have a ways to go before they approach a trillion dollars. And they remain dwarfed by e-commerce leader Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which has a $1.6

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) seems like it should be doing better than it is. Sales are growing, it’s developing new, specialized chips for its cars and it has an innovative battery-swap business that it might just spin off into a stand-alone company. In China’s fast-growing EV market, that should spell success —

“‘FAKE NEW HAMPSHIRE POLL WAS RELEASED ON BIRDBRAIN. JUST ANOTHER SCAM!’” That line came in a social-media post Friday from former President Donald Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential primary’s front-runner, as he reacted to a new poll focused on the key state of New Hampshire.

Among AI stocks, both high-profile and more under-the-radar, Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) continues to be one of the top choices. Those bearish on PLTR stock chalk up its strong 2023 performance to “AI hype.” Yet while it’s easy to see why they jump to this conclusion, a substantive bull case can still be made. The use

Workers can have more money or more happiness — but not both. That’s according to a survey this week from Resume Builder that found that workers were less likely to be considered for promotions or raises if they did not work in the office at least part of the time — but that those remote
