There are two ways to look at Aphria (NYSE:APHA) stock at the moment. The first is to argue that Aphria stock is absurdly cheap. In a sector where plunging names often still trade at 10 times sales, APHA seems like a bargain. Excluding net cash, the company is valued at less than 1 times its
Real estate investment trusts have been on a roll for a while now. It might be that the last time you heard from the REITs was when shopping malls were emptying out due to e-commerce competition and everyone was writing an epitaph for mall REITs. But those days are gone. And there are far more

Etsy (NASDAQ:ETSY) is an online marketplace for handmade goods. That may not seem like a big business, but it’s big enough for the company to carry a $6.7 billion market cap. Certainly that’s about 20% of the size of online merchandiser eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) and more than two orders of magnitude smaller than Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). But

Investors with a long timeline should be looking for growth stocks to buy that are poised to beat the market well into the future. While making those kinds of predictions can be risky, choosing investments with solid long-term growth runways and efficient operations is a great way to build out the growth portion of your
Earnings can be tricky, to say the least. Fortunately for investors, sometimes the aftermath can offer a stronger risk-adjusted buy decision. And right now large-cap stocks JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Kinder Morgan (KMI) have paved the way towards this end both off and on the price chart. It’s no secret that holding a
Investors holding software stocks must demand growth from them. After all, software companies hold nothing physically tangible.

Over recent years, the Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) narrative has been dogged by various pressures and controversies.

Jefferies Financial (NYSE:JEF) analyst Owen Bennett downgraded Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC) on Oct. 11 from a “buy” rating to “underperform,” while also cutting the target price from C$77 to C$25, a major blow to one of Canada’s leading cannabis companies.

Following the news has been quite an endeavor for investors of large-capitalization publicly traded companies. Early last week, President Trump blacklisted several Chinese organizations, sending the broader indices downward. Later, a promising truce between U.S. and Chinese negotiators surprisingly emerged, boosting the markets. However, the roller-coaster ride probably has many folks thinking about lesser known
