Should You Buy Uber or Lyft After a Judge Shot Down Proposition 22?

Chris Markoch

Investors are still deciding what to do with Uber and Lyft stocks after a California judge struck down Proposition 22. The case could take years to sort out. With that in mind, LYFT may be the better buy in the long term. But in the short term, UBER looks like it has a more promising setup and valuation, particularly due to its food delivery service.

Chris Markoch

The Third Time Appears to Be the Charm For Workday

Chris Markoch

After WDAY stock failed to do much after two strong earnings reports, it appears that the third time is the charm for Workday. In early trading after the company’s August 26 earnings report, WDAY stock shot up just over 9%. And this was on top of the 6% increase the stock enjoyed in the week prior to earnings.

Investors Are Getting a Gift With the Dip in Dollar General

Chris Markoch

Shares of Dollar General (NYSE: DG) are down 7% in early trading after the company delivered its second-quarter earnings report. However, based on recent analyst sentiment as well as the general state of the economy, I perceive this to be an overreaction that investors can use as a buy-the-dip opportunity.

BBWI stock is now soaring back towards its 52-week high after the company delivered a stellar earnings report. This removed uncertainty about the company's recent separation from Victoria's Secret. However, potential headwinds in the retail sector may provide a test in future quarters.

The 10 Most Upgraded Stocks by Wall Street Analysts in August 2021

Barrick Gold Can Be a Hedge If Inflation Isn’t the Worst Case Scenario

Chris Markoch

It’s been a week since Barrick Gold reported earnings and GOLD stock has barely moved. In fact, GOLD stock is down 17.5% in 2021 despite turning positive briefly in May. But with the mining stock trailing gold by almost a 3:1 ratio, it's fair to start asking if GOLD stock is being oversold.

The Trade Desk Wants Investors to Take a Ride On the Open Internet

Chris Markoch

In its most recent earnings report The Trade Desk posted its fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year (YOY) beats in earnings and revenue. However, it's the company’s efforts to make the open internet the standard for digital advertising that may push TTD stock to an all-time high.
