8 Fast-Growing Stocks You Should Own Right Now - 4 of 8

 
 

#4 - Facebook (NASDAQ:META)

Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) - If you’re a fan of trading on the news, Facebook is a confusing stock. It was recently announced that the social media giant was facing a fine of up to $5 billion from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). That would seem to be yet another reason to stay away from a stock that has faced some serious headwinds regarding privacy concerns, disappointing earnings reports, the outrage over the platform being used as a medium to “broadcast” the tragic New Zealand shootings, and the beginnings of what is being described as social media fatigue. Those problems, to differing degrees, still exist. However, if you’re a fan of trading on the news, it’s also tough to ignore Facebook’s exceptional first quarter results which have helped push their stock up 43% YTD. In that report, Facebook was showing that they still had a strong user base and that user base is proving to be very strong outside of North America. But the bottom line is that advertisers don’t have other viable alternatives to Facebook, which means the company will maintain their revenue stream for the foreseeable future.

$1 Trillion… That’s how much Big Tech is set to spend on AI investment in the coming months—according to Goldman Sachs. This investment is driving an A.I. boom that’s being felt across many industries… Including a specific group of energy tickers since A.I. data centers use a massive amount of power. One of those tickers is CEG, up nearly 600% in the last 3 years… Combined with the upcoming presidential election, we have the recipe for a major shakeup in the market. You see, each time the U.S. elects a new president, one overlooked part of the energy sector tends to see a big move. Fact is… this energy niche is BOOMING.

And expects this underappreciated niche to continue rallying well into 2026.
