The electric vehicle (EV) transition feels like it’s further along than where it is. Beyond macroeconomic concerns that may be keeping consumers out of the market, advancements in battery technology will be crucial for the mass adoption that is still the likely outcome for this sector. And that’s why now is a good time to invest in battery stocks. Despite the proliferation of television commercials that are creating awareness, EVs currently make up about 9% of new car sales in the United States.

Battery stocks may not be one of the most exciting opportunities. But with the world fighting to go green, demand is only expected to rise for these top battery stocks to buy. Remember, batteries are essential for renewable energy. As noted by Energy5.com, “By storing excess energy during periods of high production, battery storage systems enable a consistent and reliable supply of electricity, even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. This not only improves the overall efficien

Easy money policy translates into higher speculative activity and high-beta stocks surge. This column discusses three high-risk stocks under $20, likely to triple before the end of 2025. While a potential rate cut is a catalyst, it’s not the only reason to be bullish on these high-risk stocks. These stocks repres

The electric vehicle sector is going through interesting times. The industry faces macroeconomic headwinds and intense competition has also impacted companies. Some of the best EV stocks to buy during the last bull market are languishing at lower levels. If this is not enough, there is already chatter in the streets that the EV euphoria is dead. It’s true that automakers are scaling back on their expansion plans. However, a lot has to do with macroeconomic challenges. I believe that the EV secto

Solid-state battery startup QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) made a quantum leap in value with QS stock rising 8%. It brought the scrappy battery maker back to break-even for the month, though it remains 10% below where it started the year. Is that a sign for investors that QuantumScape is ready to recover the significant ground it’s lost since going public? Or is this as good as it gets and this is a good spot to cut losses for more attractive opportunities? Let’s try to tease out an answer. Setting a Ne
