Roth Capital’s top stock picks for the upcoming year span a variety of sectors and include ride-sharing pioneer Uber and furniture retailer Lovesac . With 2025 around the corner, the investment firm likes a mix of both defensive and value stocks heading into the new year. “We would continue to focus on stocks and sectors with low cyclically adjusted valuations. We believe these areas will fall less if things go wrong and have more upside if the cycle continues in an uninterrupted fashion,” wrote Michael Darda, Roth’s chief economist and market strategist, in a recent note. “However, if we are…

As the trading year winds to a close, investors should keep an eye on some stocks that may be due for big gains in 2025, according to investment bank William Blair. There are only four full trading days left in 2024, which has already been a strong year for stocks. This month alone has marked fresh highs for all three major averages. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite is the outperformer of the three in 2024, rising about 33%. That’s followed by the S & P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average , respectively. The broad market index has advanced around…
When last we saw a Major League Baseball game, the Los Angeles Dodgers were celebrating a World Series title at Yankee Stadium. If you’re a trivia lover like me, you might have noticed a historical oddity: The Dodgers have now clinched a championship at three different versions of Yankee Stadium — the original (in 1955), the renovated original (in 1981) and the current one (in 2024).Yet how many times have the Dodgers clinched on their home field? Just once, in 1963 — also against the Yankees, naturally.Those kinds of connections are everywhere in this wonderfully zany sport. To score well…

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered a quarter-point interest rate cut with a hawkish tone last Wednesday, causing stocks to tumble. However, the markets staged an impressive recovery on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing nearly 500 points higher. If this upward momentum continues, there could be plenty of opportunities to participate in the so-called Santa rally — especially in the chip sector. Nvidia (NVDA) , a key driver of the tech and semiconductor sectors, is beginning to attract buying interest, which could signal broader strength for the entire semiconductor space. One stock that stands out in this…
Shares of video game publisher Electronic Arts have seen tumultuous times as of late, losing ground for the 11th straight session on Monday. This means the stock now has fully retraced its impressive breakout from late September. It may seem like a long time ago, but that breakout actually produced an eight-day winning streak. The 180-degree turn over the past few weeks has made EA net-flat over the past three months. Thus, the real test now is about to happen. As is clear on the chart, there has been no indication that EA wants to reverse higher yet. The silver lining…

Pep Guardiola’s list of symptoms is long and unsettling. He has trouble sleeping. He can only take light meals in the evening. On some days, he does not eat at all. He finds it difficult to read because his mind keeps wandering. He feels, at times, intensely lonely. Things can get so bad that they begin to take on a physical form: bouts of back pain, breakouts on his skin. They are not isolated to moments like the one in which the Manchester City manager finds himself trapped, when his team are locked in a tailspin he has spent the better…
It is no secret that tech has been responsible for most of the market’s gains this year. But that tech trade may not look the same in 2025 as favorites such as AppLovin and Netflix could actually take a hit. Investors piled money into the tech sector for the second straight year in 2024, particularly into the semiconductor industry and projected artificial intelligence beneficiaries. The Nasdaq-100 index, which measures the performance of 100 of the largest Nasdaq-listed nonfinancial companies, is up roughly 29% this year, surpassing the S & P 500’s 26% advance. The tech-heavy index’s constituents include Apple , Nvidia…
