From our cars and handheld devices to complex computing hardware and industrial systems, semiconductors are present. This is but <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> instance of the prevalence of tech in our world. If all this has you looking for the latest movers in the tech industry, take a look at these four.</p><p>Top Tech Stocks To Buy&nbsp; [Or Avoid] This Week</p><ul><li><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a> Video Communications Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: ZM)</li><li><b>Broadcom Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: AVGO)</li><li><b>Plug Power Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: PLUG)</li><li><b>Canaan Creative</b>(NASDAQ: CAN)</li></ul><p>Zoom Video Communications Inc.</p><p>First up is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the hottest names in tech coming out of 2020, Zoom. For the uninitiated, the cloud communications company has and continues to be a key service for the masses. Regardless of industry, those looking for a means to communicate while being socially distanced have turned towards Zoom. So much so, that the company’s name has become a household verb for making a video call. Similarly, most investors would be familiar with the meteoric rise of ZM stock throughout the past year. Despite its recent descent, the company’s shares have tripled over the past year. With Zoom set to release its latest quarterly report after today’s closing bell, it would not surprise if investors are watching it yet again.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91b89dda75c16eca4f89b37fd7f80cf5\" tg-width=\"759\" tg-height=\"468\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Read MoreSource: TD Ameritrade TOS</p><p>For one thing, Zoom has been hard at work bolstering its existing services. To address the elephant in the room, most investors would be worried about the company’s post-pandemic viability. Well, last Wednesday, Zoom announced a new accessibility feature for its platform. The company launched “Live Transcription” and is now offering it for free to all users. With this new automatic closed caption feature, users with hearing disabilities can attend a Zoom call effortlessly. Will this make ZM stock worth investing in? Your guess is as good as mine.</p><p>Broadcom Inc.</p><p>Following that, we have global semiconductor supplier, Broadcom. In brief, the company designs, develop and manufactures semiconductors and infrastructure software products. Broadcom’s key end markets include data centers, networking, software, broadband, and other industrial markets. As you can imagine, it would have been busy over the last year given the immense demand for semiconductors throughout 2020. With the current chip shortages, Broadcom would be amongst the key players to step up to meet this demand. It seems that investors are well aware of this seeing as AVGO stock is up by over 160% since the March 2020 selloffs. With booming end markets, investors would likely be keeping an eye on AVGO stock ahead of its earnings this Thursday.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/74ead7f716620cc56afa09475c7358e0\" tg-width=\"759\" tg-height=\"468\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: TD Ameritrade TOS</p><p>For the most part, Wall Street expects the company to perform relatively well for the quarter. Current estimates suggest that Broadcom will report an earnings per share of $6.55 on revenue of $6.61 billion. This would mark a sizable bump from its revenue of $5.86 billion in the same quarter last year. Aside from that, CEO Tan Hock Eng also mentioned that its infrastructure software segment delivered solid results back in December as well. With the limelight on AVGO stock this week, will you consider adding it to your portfolio?</p><p>Plug Power Inc.</p><p>Another top tech company in focus now would be Plug Power. Indeed, most auto investors would be familiar with this electric vehicle (EV) pick-and-shovel play. With PLUG stock looking at gains of over 1,000% in the past year, this would be the case. For starters, the New York-based company develops hydrogen fuel cell technology which powers EVs. According to Plug Power, the company created the first commercially viable market for hydrogen fuel cell tech. Moreover, the likes of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) employ Plug Power’s turnkey solutions. For investors looking to invest in the growing industry, it would be among the go-to choices at the moment.</p><p>Source: TD Ameritrade TOS</p><p>Last Thursday, the company made two major announcements. Namely, Plug Power revealed its involvement in two massive projects in Asia and North America. Firstly, Plug Power completed a $1.6 billion capital investment into a partnership with South Korean business group, SK Group. Said investment will be put towards accelerating hydrogen as an alternative energy source in the Asian markets. On the local front, Plug Power announced that it is now working on building North America’s largest green hydrogen production facility in New York. With Plug Power seemingly firing on all cylinders, would you consider PLUG stock a buy?</p><p>Canaan Creative Inc.</p><p>Canaan is a China-based computer hardware manufacturer. It specializes in blockchain servers and ASIC microprocessor solutions that are used in bitcoin mining. Its high-performance computing solutions are used to solve complex problems efficiently. CAN shares are up by over 34% on today’s opening bell and currently trades at $20.70 as of 12:10 p.m. ET.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c4a4917f30b10197590437a9ff985b8\" tg-width=\"759\" tg-height=\"468\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: TD Ameritrade TOS</p><p>Last month, the company announced that its revenue visibility has improved substantially in 2021 as a result of attaining purchase orders totaling more than 100,000 units of bitcoin mining machines from customers in North America. A majority of these purchases were placed with prepayment and will likely occupy the company’s current manufacturing capacity for the full year of 2021 and beyond. Late last year, the company shifted its client base to most publicly traded companies which tend to place sizable orders with long-term commitment.</p><p>As a result, the company is able to forecast its revenue more precisely. This would give Canaan an edge in planning its production and logistics in advance. It will also allow the company to achieve profitable growth in the long run. With that in mind, will you consider buying CAN stock?</p><p>The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.</p>","source":"lsy1603171495471","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Looking For The Top Tech Stocks To Buy? 2 Reporting Earnings This Week</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nLooking For The Top Tech Stocks To Buy? 2 Reporting Earnings This Week\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-02 11:53 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/looking-for-the-top-tech-stocks-to-buy-2-reporting-earnings-this-week-2021-03-01><strong>nasdaq</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Are These The Best Tech Stocks To Buy This Week? 4 To WatchSponsored LinksMattress Can’t Fit In The Lift?

If all this has you looking for the latest movers in the tech industry, take a look at these four.Top Tech Stocks To Buy  [Or Avoid] This WeekZoom Video Communications Inc.(NASDAQ: ZM)Broadcom Inc.(NASDAQ: AVGO)Plug Power Inc.(NASDAQ: PLUG)Canaan Creative(NASDAQ: CAN)Zoom Video Communications Inc.First up is one of the hottest names in tech coming out of 2020, Zoom. For the uninitiated, the cloud communications company has and continues to be a key service for the masses. Regardless of industry, those looking for a means to communicate while being socially distanced have turned towards Zoom. So much so, that the company’s name has become a household verb for making a video call. Similarly, most investors would be familiar with the meteoric rise of ZM stock throughout the past year. Despite its recent descent, the company’s shares have tripled over the past year. With Zoom set to release its latest quarterly report after today’s closing bell, it would not surprise if investors are watching it yet again.Read MoreSource: TD Ameritrade TOSFor one thing, Zoom has been hard at work bolstering its existing services. To address the elephant in the room, most investors would be worried about the company’s post-pandemic viability. Well, last Wednesday, Zoom announced a new accessibility feature for its platform. The company launched “Live Transcription” and is now offering it for free to all users. With this new automatic closed caption feature, users with hearing disabilities can attend a Zoom call effortlessly. Will this make ZM stock worth investing in? Your guess is as good as mine.Broadcom Inc.Following that, we have global semiconductor supplier, Broadcom. In brief, the company designs, develop and manufactures semiconductors and infrastructure software products. Broadcom’s key end markets include data centers, networking, software, broadband, and other industrial markets. As you can imagine, it would have been busy over the last year given the immense demand for semiconductors throughout 2020. With the current chip shortages, Broadcom would be amongst the key players to step up to meet this demand. It seems that investors are well aware of this seeing as AVGO stock is up by over 160% since the March 2020 selloffs. With booming end markets, investors would likely be keeping an eye on AVGO stock ahead of its earnings this Thursday.Source: TD Ameritrade TOSFor the most part, Wall Street expects the company to perform relatively well for the quarter. Current estimates suggest that Broadcom will report an earnings per share of $6.55 on revenue of $6.61 billion. This would mark a sizable bump from its revenue of $5.86 billion in the same quarter last year. Aside from that, CEO Tan Hock Eng also mentioned that its infrastructure software segment delivered solid results back in December as well. With the limelight on AVGO stock this week, will you consider adding it to your portfolio?Plug Power Inc.Another top tech company in focus now would be Plug Power. Indeed, most auto investors would be familiar with this electric vehicle (EV) pick-and-shovel play. With PLUG stock looking at gains of over 1,000% in the past year, this would be the case. For starters, the New York-based company develops hydrogen fuel cell technology which powers EVs. According to Plug Power, the company created the first commercially viable market for hydrogen fuel cell tech. Moreover, the likes of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) employ Plug Power’s turnkey solutions. For investors looking to invest in the growing industry, it would be among the go-to choices at the moment.Source: TD Ameritrade TOSLast Thursday, the company made two major announcements. Namely, Plug Power revealed its involvement in two massive projects in Asia and North America. Firstly, Plug Power completed a $1.6 billion capital investment into a partnership with South Korean business group, SK Group. Said investment will be put towards accelerating hydrogen as an alternative energy source in the Asian markets. On the local front, Plug Power announced that it is now working on building North America’s largest green hydrogen production facility in New York. With Plug Power seemingly firing on all cylinders, would you consider PLUG stock a buy?Canaan Creative Inc.Canaan is a China-based computer hardware manufacturer. It specializes in blockchain servers and ASIC microprocessor solutions that are used in bitcoin mining. Its high-performance computing solutions are used to solve complex problems efficiently. CAN shares are up by over 34% on today’s opening bell and currently trades at $20.70 as of 12:10 p.m. ET.Source: TD Ameritrade TOSLast month, the company announced that its revenue visibility has improved substantially in 2021 as a result of attaining purchase orders totaling more than 100,000 units of bitcoin mining machines from customers in North America. A majority of these purchases were placed with prepayment and will likely occupy the company’s current manufacturing capacity for the full year of 2021 and beyond. Late last year, the company shifted its client base to most publicly traded companies which tend to place sizable orders with long-term commitment.As a result, the company is able to forecast its revenue more precisely. This would give Canaan an edge in planning its production and logistics in advance. It will also allow the company to achieve profitable growth in the long run. With that in mind, will you consider buying CAN stock?The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":235,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":362453757,"gmtCreate":1614661003279,"gmtModify":1704773679308,"author":{"id":"3573868085609262","authorId":"3573868085609262","name":"Bees","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573868085609262","authorIdStr":"3573868085609262"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/362453757","repostId":"1140907630","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":320,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":366224983,"gmtCreate":1614493180442,"gmtModify":1704772079360,"author":{"id":"3573868085609262","authorId":"3573868085609262","name":"Bees","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573868085609262","authorIdStr":"3573868085609262"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Time to buy","listText":"Time to buy","text":"Time to buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/366224983","repostId":"1106176819","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":267,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":368556010,"gmtCreate":1614340937430,"gmtModify":1704770903332,"author":{"id":"3573868085609262","authorId":"3573868085609262","name":"Bees","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573868085609262","authorIdStr":"3573868085609262"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/368556010","repostId":"2114371822","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2114371822","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1614335051,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2114371822?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-26 18:24","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine reduces transmission after one dose -UK study","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2114371822","media":"Reuters","summary":"LONDON, Feb 26  -

Is another reckoning around the corner?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1107053718","media":"cnn","summary":"London (CNN Business)It's been nearly a year since the coronavirus pandemic ended the S&P 500's long","content":"<p>London (CNN Business)It's been nearly a year since the coronavirus pandemic ended the S&amp;P 500's longest-ever bull run and sent stocks everywhere into a violent nosedive. The turmoil was a fitting start to a year of frenzied activity.</p>\n<p>The virus continues to wreak havoc on our daily lives, but markets have long since forgotten the painful reckoning.</p>\n<p>The big bang: March 12, 2020 handed Wall Street its worst day of losses in over three decades. The S&amp;P 500 (DVS), Dow (INDU) and Nasdaq Composite (COMP) suffered double-digit declines, with the pan-European Stoxx 600 (SXXL) index logging its worst day on record.</p>\n<p>The collapse felt particularly shocking because markets had been shrugging off the coronavirus for weeks, even as alarm bells sounded in various corners of the global economy.</p>\n<p>But sentiment shifted abruptly when former President Donald Trump banned travel from most of Europe and the World Health Organization officially declared Covid-19 a pandemic on March 11.</p>\n<p>It's been a wild ride since. The crash was short lived and financial markets, fueled by government stimulus, powered through a devastating global downturn to end the year at record highs -- a stark reminder of the disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street.</p>\n<p>The latest: Many of the hallmarks of 2020 are still evident -- and not just in lockdowns, social distancing and working from home. The exuberance that's defined equity markets over the past 12 months has kept pushing stocks to all-time highs this year.</p>\n<p>The rise of retail traders, who revved last year's rally, continues unabated -- as captured by the extraordinary GameStop saga and the recent launch of an ETF focused on stocks generating social media buzz.</p>\n<p>The coronavirus is still with us, too, but investors are now banking on a swift and strong recovery as vaccine rollouts gather pace and the United States gears up for another enormous stimulus package.</p>\n<p>Goldman Sachs predicts 7% US GDP growth in 2021, a level not seen since 1984.</p>\n<p>Big risk: Like this time last year, equity investors may be underestimating the size of potential stumbling blocks. Ironically, a booming economy may not be good for stocks because it could increase funding costs for companies and rob equities of their main selling point: superior returns.</p>\n<p>Bond yields have moved higher on increased inflation expectations, although from rock-bottom levels. Still, the shift has caused stock markets to wobble in recent days over fears that central banks could lift interest rates to prevent soaring prices and might rein in asset purchases sooner than anticipated, taking excess cash out of markets.</p>\n<p>While a strong recovery is good for corporate earnings, higher rates make debt more expensive, which could become a problem for companies that have borrowed heavily through the crisis. Stocks also look relatively less attractive when bond yields rise.</p>\n<p>Keep calm: The Federal Reserve has made it clear that it's willing to tolerate higher inflation if it means businesses are recovering and unemployment is in decline.</p>\n<p>While predicting an increase in consumer prices this summer, Fed chair Jerome Powell said Thursday that inflation would need to be sustained at 2% and the economy reach close to maximum employment before the central bank would consider increasing interest rates.</p>\n<p>Given that the US labor market is still short about 10 million jobs since the pandemic hit, it may be some time yet before rates get picked up off the floor.</p>\n<p>\"The backdrop will remain supportive for equities in 2021,\" head of equities at London &amp; Capital, Roger Jones, told me. \"Longer term structural headwinds to inflation -- demographics, technology advancement and high levels of debt -- are stronger than ever. Additionally, equities can cope with inflation as long as it's not sustained above the 3% level,\" Jones said.</p>\n<p><b>The European Central Bank could have a new problem</b></p>\n<p>A sustained increase in consumer prices may seem a long way off in Europe, where economic activity remains severely constrained by lockdowns, stimulus is limited and the outlook for GDP growth this year has weakened.</p>\n<p>Despite all this, inflation has ticked up in the region and if bond yields keep rising policymakers could eventually be forced to take action.</p>\n<p>What's happening: The European Central Bank meets Thursday and investors will want to know how it's thinking about inflation. They'll also want some reassurance from ECB President Christine Lagarde that the central bank has no plans to tighten financing conditions.</p>\n<p>\"The ECB will primarily try to downplay the recent increase in bond yields, calling it small in magnitude, driven by technical factors and focusing on real yields,\" head of research at ING Carsten Brzeski wrote in a note Friday.</p>\n<p>Brzeski expects the ECB to stress that asset purchases could be increased if necessary and move to frontload stimulus in the coming weeks to keep funding conditions favorable.</p>\n<p>See here: In an interview last month with The Economist Lagarde said that the ECB has used roughly €800 billion ($955 billion) of its €1.8 trillion ($2.1 trillion) Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program.</p>\n<p>\"We still have a lot. If we need it all, we'll use it all,\" she added.</p>\n<p>Still, as recent volatility in bond markets indicates, a lot can change in a few weeks. Once economies reopen, a sudden rush for goods and services could lead businesses to hike prices. Excess savings in Europe will also juice the recovery if households spend some of that extra cash.</p>\n<p>\"Once restrictions get lifted and fear of the virus retreats, it is reasonable to expect that prices will increase,\" ING economists including Brzeski wrote in a note last week. \"Eurozone headline inflation could easily accelerate above the magic 2% level this year.\"</p>\n<p>Big picture: At least for now, Europe's economy looks a long way from overheating.

The turmoil was a fitting start to a year of frenzied activity.\nThe virus continues to wreak havoc on our daily lives, but markets have long since forgotten the painful reckoning.\nThe big bang: March 12, 2020 handed Wall Street its worst day of losses in over three decades. The S&P 500 (DVS), Dow (INDU) and Nasdaq Composite (COMP) suffered double-digit declines, with the pan-European Stoxx 600 (SXXL) index logging its worst day on record.\nThe collapse felt particularly shocking because markets had been shrugging off the coronavirus for weeks, even as alarm bells sounded in various corners of the global economy.\nBut sentiment shifted abruptly when former President Donald Trump banned travel from most of Europe and the World Health Organization officially declared Covid-19 a pandemic on March 11.\nIt's been a wild ride since. The crash was short lived and financial markets, fueled by government stimulus, powered through a devastating global downturn to end the year at record highs -- a stark reminder of the disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street.\nThe latest: Many of the hallmarks of 2020 are still evident -- and not just in lockdowns, social distancing and working from home. The exuberance that's defined equity markets over the past 12 months has kept pushing stocks to all-time highs this year.\nThe rise of retail traders, who revved last year's rally, continues unabated -- as captured by the extraordinary GameStop saga and the recent launch of an ETF focused on stocks generating social media buzz.\nThe coronavirus is still with us, too, but investors are now banking on a swift and strong recovery as vaccine rollouts gather pace and the United States gears up for another enormous stimulus package.\nGoldman Sachs predicts 7% US GDP growth in 2021, a level not seen since 1984.\nBig risk: Like this time last year, equity investors may be underestimating the size of potential stumbling blocks. Ironically, a booming economy may not be good for stocks because it could increase funding costs for companies and rob equities of their main selling point: superior returns.\nBond yields have moved higher on increased inflation expectations, although from rock-bottom levels. Still, the shift has caused stock markets to wobble in recent days over fears that central banks could lift interest rates to prevent soaring prices and might rein in asset purchases sooner than anticipated, taking excess cash out of markets.\nWhile a strong recovery is good for corporate earnings, higher rates make debt more expensive, which could become a problem for companies that have borrowed heavily through the crisis. Stocks also look relatively less attractive when bond yields rise.\nKeep calm: The Federal Reserve has made it clear that it's willing to tolerate higher inflation if it means businesses are recovering and unemployment is in decline.\nWhile predicting an increase in consumer prices this summer, Fed chair Jerome Powell said Thursday that inflation would need to be sustained at 2% and the economy reach close to maximum employment before the central bank would consider increasing interest rates.\nGiven that the US labor market is still short about 10 million jobs since the pandemic hit, it may be some time yet before rates get picked up off the floor.\n\"The backdrop will remain supportive for equities in 2021,\" head of equities at London & Capital, Roger Jones, told me. \"Longer term structural headwinds to inflation -- demographics, technology advancement and high levels of debt -- are stronger than ever. Additionally, equities can cope with inflation as long as it's not sustained above the 3% level,\" Jones said.\nThe European Central Bank could have a new problem\nA sustained increase in consumer prices may seem a long way off in Europe, where economic activity remains severely constrained by lockdowns, stimulus is limited and the outlook for GDP growth this year has weakened.\nDespite all this, inflation has ticked up in the region and if bond yields keep rising policymakers could eventually be forced to take action.\nWhat's happening: The European Central Bank meets Thursday and investors will want to know how it's thinking about inflation. They'll also want some reassurance from ECB President Christine Lagarde that the central bank has no plans to tighten financing conditions.\n\"The ECB will primarily try to downplay the recent increase in bond yields, calling it small in magnitude, driven by technical factors and focusing on real yields,\" head of research at ING Carsten Brzeski wrote in a note Friday.\nBrzeski expects the ECB to stress that asset purchases could be increased if necessary and move to frontload stimulus in the coming weeks to keep funding conditions favorable.\nSee here: In an interview last month with The Economist Lagarde said that the ECB has used roughly €800 billion ($955 billion) of its €1.8 trillion ($2.1 trillion) Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program.\n\"We still have a lot. If we need it all, we'll use it all,\" she added.\nStill, as recent volatility in bond markets indicates, a lot can change in a few weeks. Once economies reopen, a sudden rush for goods and services could lead businesses to hike prices. Excess savings in Europe will also juice the recovery if households spend some of that extra cash.\n\"Once restrictions get lifted and fear of the virus retreats, it is reasonable to expect that prices will increase,\" ING economists including Brzeski wrote in a note last week. \"Eurozone headline inflation could easily accelerate above the magic 2% level this year.\"\nBig picture: At least for now, Europe's economy looks a long way from overheating. GDP contracted again in the final three months of last year amid fresh lockdowns and, with many of those measures still in place, growth is unlikely to fare much better in the first quarter.\nA sluggish vaccine rollout and relatively modest stimulus will also weigh on Europe's recovery. In the absence of an increase in wages, the ECB is unlikely to react to short-term moves in inflation, Brzeski said.\nUp Next\nMonday: Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey speaks on the UK economy;

POINTS\n\nPresident Joe Biden will unveil a more than $2 trillion infrastructure and economic recovery package on Wednesday.\nThe plan aims to revitalize U.S. transportation infrastructure, water systems, broadband and manufacturing, among other goals.\nAn increase in the corporate tax rate to 28% and measures designed to prevent offshoring of profits will fund the spending, according to the White House.\n\nPresidentJoe Bidenwill unveil a more than $2 trillion infrastructure package on Wednesday as his administration shifts its focus to bolstering the post-pandemic economy.\nThe plan Biden will outline Wednesday will include roughly $2 trillion in spending over eight years, and would raise the corporate tax rate to 28% to fund it, an administration official told reporters Tuesday night.\nThe White House said the tax hike, combined with measures designed to stop offshoring of profits, would fund the infrastructure plan within 15 years.\nThe proposal would:\n\nPut $621 billion into transportation infrastructure such as bridges, roads, public transit, ports, airports and electric vehicle development\nDirect $400 billion to care for elderly and disabled Americans\nInject more than $300 billion into improving drinking-water infrastructure, expanding broadband access and upgrading electric grids\nPut more than $300 billion into building and retrofitting affordable housing, along with constructing and upgrading schools\nInvest $580 billionin American manufacturing, research and development and job training efforts\n\nThe president will kick off his second major White House initiative after passage of a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan earlier this month. The administration aims to approve a first proposal designed to create jobs, revamp U.S. infrastructure and fight climate change before it turns toward a second plan to improve education and expand paid leave and health-care coverage.\nThrough the plan announced Wednesday, the White House aims to show it can “revitalize our national imagination and put millions of Americans to work right now,” the administration official said.\nThe White House plans to fund the spending by raising the corporate tax rate to 28%. Republicans slashed the levy to 21% from 35% as part of their 2017 tax law.\nThe administration also aims to boost the global minimum tax for multinational corporations and ensure they pay at least 21%. The White House also aims to discourage firms from listing tax havens as their address and writing off expenses related to offshoring, among other reforms.\nBiden hopes the package will create manufacturing jobs and rescue failing American infrastructure as the country tries to emerge from the shadow of Covid-19. He and congressional Democrats also aim to combat climate change and start a transition to cleaner energy sources.\nThe president was set to announce his plans in Pittsburgh, a city where organized labor has a strong presence and the economy has undergone a shift from traditional manufacturing and mining to health care and technology. Biden, who has pledged to create union jobs as part of the infrastructure plan, launched his presidential campaign at a Pittsburgh union hall in 2019.\nWhile Democrats narrowly control both chambers of Congress, the party faces challenges in passing the infrastructure plan. The GOP broadly supports efforts to rebuild roads, bridges and airports and expand broadband access, but Republicans oppose tax hikes as part of the process.\n“We’re hearing the next few months might bring a so-called infrastructure proposal that may actually be a Trojan horse for massive tax hikes and other job-killing left-wing policies,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said earlier this month.\nBiden has said he hopes to win Republican support for an infrastructure bill. If Democrats cannot get 10 GOP senators on board, they will have to try to pass the bill through budget reconciliation, which would not require any Republicans to back the plan in a chamber split 50-50 by party.\nThey would also have to consider whether to package the physical infrastructure plans with other recovery policies including universal pre-K and expanded paid leave. Republicans likely would not back more spending to boost the social safety net, especially if Democrats move to hike taxes on the wealthy to fund programs.\nThe administration official did not say whether Biden would seek to pass the plan with bipartisan support.\n“We will begin and will already have begun to do extensive outreach to our counterparts in Congress,” the official said.\nAsked Monday about how the bill could pass, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden would “leave the mechanics of bill passing to [Senate Majority] Leader [Chuck] Schumer and other leaders in Congress.”\nAs of now, Democrats will have two more shots at budget reconciliation before the 2022 midterms. Schumer, D-N.Y., hopes to convince the chamber’s parliamentarian to allow Democrats to use the process at least once more beyond those two opportunities, according to NBC News.\nThe party passed its $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package without a Republican vote.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":410,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":366224983,"gmtCreate":1614493180442,"gmtModify":1704772079360,"author":{"id":"3573868085609262","authorId":"3573868085609262","name":"Bees","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573868085609262","authorIdStr":"3573868085609262"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Time to buy","listText":"Time to buy","text":"Time to buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/366224983","repostId":"1106176819","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":267,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":355560737,"gmtCreate":1617086094229,"gmtModify":1704801774469,"author":{"id":"3573868085609262","authorId":"3573868085609262","name":"Bees","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573868085609262","authorIdStr":"3573868085609262"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5UF.SI\">$MAXI-CASH FIN SVCS CORP LTD(5UF.SI)$</a>can buy","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/5UF.SI\">$MAXI-CASH FIN SVCS CORP LTD(5UF.SI)$</a>can buy","text":"$MAXI-CASH FIN SVCS CORP LTD(5UF.SI)$can buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/355560737","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":290,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":321266050,"gmtCreate":1615440070570,"gmtModify":1704782798579,"author":{"id":"3573868085609262","authorId":"3573868085609262","name":"Bees","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573868085609262","authorIdStr":"3573868085609262"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can buy","listText":"Can buy","text":"Can buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/321266050","repostId":"1160060138","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":328,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":362458959,"gmtCreate":1614661122271,"gmtModify":1704773680769,"author":{"id":"3573868085609262","authorId":"3573868085609262","name":"Bees","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573868085609262","authorIdStr":"3573868085609262"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/362458959","repostId":"1134788930","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1134788930","pubTimestamp":1614657221,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1134788930?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-02 11:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Looking For The Top Tech Stocks To Buy? 2 Reporting Earnings This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1134788930","media":"nasdaq","summary":"Are These The Best Tech Stocks To Buy This Week? 4 To WatchSponsored LinksMattress Can’t Fit In The ","content":"<p>Are These The Best Tech Stocks To Buy This Week? 4 To WatchSponsored LinksMattress Can’t Fit In The Lift? This Mattress Comes In A BoxSkyler Mattress</p><p>One shining quality shown by the tech industry is resilience. Amidst times of uncertainty,tech stockscontinue to outperform the broader market. Evidently, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite continues to outpace the broader market. In fact, it is up by over 47% over the past year, more than twice the gains of theS&amp;P 500. The most recent occurrence in the industry was a series of pullbacks on some of the top tech stocks. Despite all of that, many investors were quick to buy on the dip. Why might you ask? Well, it’s simple. The tech industry continues to innovate and cater to the needs of our increasingly tech-dependent world. In a sense, this would mean that there is always space for another tech stock to explode onto the scene.</p><p>For example, some of thetop semiconductor stockscontinue to see massive gains despite the current global chip shortage. ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ: ON) and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) are still looking at gains upwards of 150% since the March 2020 lows. Logically, this is because semiconductors are essentially the brains of modern electronics. From our cars and handheld devices to complex computing hardware and industrial systems, semiconductors are present. This is but <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> instance of the prevalence of tech in our world. If all this has you looking for the latest movers in the tech industry, take a look at these four.</p><p>Top Tech Stocks To Buy&nbsp; [Or Avoid] This Week</p><ul><li><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a> Video Communications Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: ZM)</li><li><b>Broadcom Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: AVGO)</li><li><b>Plug Power Inc.</b>(NASDAQ: PLUG)</li><li><b>Canaan Creative</b>(NASDAQ: CAN)</li></ul><p>Zoom Video Communications Inc.</p><p>First up is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the hottest names in tech coming out of 2020, Zoom. For the uninitiated, the cloud communications company has and continues to be a key service for the masses. Regardless of industry, those looking for a means to communicate while being socially distanced have turned towards Zoom. So much so, that the company’s name has become a household verb for making a video call. Similarly, most investors would be familiar with the meteoric rise of ZM stock throughout the past year. Despite its recent descent, the company’s shares have tripled over the past year. With Zoom set to release its latest quarterly report after today’s closing bell, it would not surprise if investors are watching it yet again.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91b89dda75c16eca4f89b37fd7f80cf5\" tg-width=\"759\" tg-height=\"468\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Read MoreSource: TD Ameritrade TOS</p><p>For one thing, Zoom has been hard at work bolstering its existing services. To address the elephant in the room, most investors would be worried about the company’s post-pandemic viability. Well, last Wednesday, Zoom announced a new accessibility feature for its platform. The company launched “Live Transcription” and is now offering it for free to all users. With this new automatic closed caption feature, users with hearing disabilities can attend a Zoom call effortlessly. Will this make ZM stock worth investing in? Your guess is as good as mine.</p><p>Broadcom Inc.</p><p>Following that, we have global semiconductor supplier, Broadcom. In brief, the company designs, develop and manufactures semiconductors and infrastructure software products. Broadcom’s key end markets include data centers, networking, software, broadband, and other industrial markets. As you can imagine, it would have been busy over the last year given the immense demand for semiconductors throughout 2020. With the current chip shortages, Broadcom would be amongst the key players to step up to meet this demand. It seems that investors are well aware of this seeing as AVGO stock is up by over 160% since the March 2020 selloffs. With booming end markets, investors would likely be keeping an eye on AVGO stock ahead of its earnings this Thursday.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/74ead7f716620cc56afa09475c7358e0\" tg-width=\"759\" tg-height=\"468\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: TD Ameritrade TOS</p><p>For the most part, Wall Street expects the company to perform relatively well for the quarter. Current estimates suggest that Broadcom will report an earnings per share of $6.55 on revenue of $6.61 billion. This would mark a sizable bump from its revenue of $5.86 billion in the same quarter last year. Aside from that, CEO Tan Hock Eng also mentioned that its infrastructure software segment delivered solid results back in December as well. With the limelight on AVGO stock this week, will you consider adding it to your portfolio?</p><p>Plug Power Inc.</p><p>Another top tech company in focus now would be Plug Power. Indeed, most auto investors would be familiar with this electric vehicle (EV) pick-and-shovel play. With PLUG stock looking at gains of over 1,000% in the past year, this would be the case. For starters, the New York-based company develops hydrogen fuel cell technology which powers EVs. According to Plug Power, the company created the first commercially viable market for hydrogen fuel cell tech. Moreover, the likes of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) employ Plug Power’s turnkey solutions. For investors looking to invest in the growing industry, it would be among the go-to choices at the moment.</p><p>Source: TD Ameritrade TOS</p><p>Last Thursday, the company made two major announcements. Namely, Plug Power revealed its involvement in two massive projects in Asia and North America. Firstly, Plug Power completed a $1.6 billion capital investment into a partnership with South Korean business group, SK Group. Said investment will be put towards accelerating hydrogen as an alternative energy source in the Asian markets. On the local front, Plug Power announced that it is now working on building North America’s largest green hydrogen production facility in New York. With Plug Power seemingly firing on all cylinders, would you consider PLUG stock a buy?</p><p>Canaan Creative Inc.</p><p>Canaan is a China-based computer hardware manufacturer. It specializes in blockchain servers and ASIC microprocessor solutions that are used in bitcoin mining. Its high-performance computing solutions are used to solve complex problems efficiently. CAN shares are up by over 34% on today’s opening bell and currently trades at $20.70 as of 12:10 p.m. ET.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c4a4917f30b10197590437a9ff985b8\" tg-width=\"759\" tg-height=\"468\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: TD Ameritrade TOS</p><p>Last month, the company announced that its revenue visibility has improved substantially in 2021 as a result of attaining purchase orders totaling more than 100,000 units of bitcoin mining machines from customers in North America. A majority of these purchases were placed with prepayment and will likely occupy the company’s current manufacturing capacity for the full year of 2021 and beyond. Late last year, the company shifted its client base to most publicly traded companies which tend to place sizable orders with long-term commitment.</p><p>As a result, the company is able to forecast its revenue more precisely. This would give Canaan an edge in planning its production and logistics in advance. It will also allow the company to achieve profitable growth in the long run. With that in mind, will you consider buying CAN stock?</p><p>The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.</p>","source":"lsy1603171495471","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Looking For The Top Tech Stocks To Buy? 2 Reporting Earnings This Week</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nLooking For The Top Tech Stocks To Buy? 2 Reporting Earnings This Week\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-02 11:53 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/looking-for-the-top-tech-stocks-to-buy-2-reporting-earnings-this-week-2021-03-01><strong>nasdaq</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Are These The Best Tech Stocks To Buy This Week? 4 To WatchSponsored LinksMattress Can’t Fit In The Lift?

In a sense, this would mean that there is always space for another tech stock to explode onto the scene.For example, some of thetop semiconductor stockscontinue to see massive gains despite the current global chip shortage. ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ: ON) and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) are still looking at gains upwards of 150% since the March 2020 lows. Logically, this is because semiconductors are essentially the brains of modern electronics. From our cars and handheld devices to complex computing hardware and industrial systems, semiconductors are present. This is but one instance of the prevalence of tech in our world. If all this has you looking for the latest movers in the tech industry, take a look at these four.Top Tech Stocks To Buy  [Or Avoid] This WeekZoom Video Communications Inc.(NASDAQ: ZM)Broadcom Inc.(NASDAQ: AVGO)Plug Power Inc.(NASDAQ: PLUG)Canaan Creative(NASDAQ: CAN)Zoom Video Communications Inc.First up is one of the hottest names in tech coming out of 2020, Zoom. For the uninitiated, the cloud communications company has and continues to be a key service for the masses. Regardless of industry, those looking for a means to communicate while being socially distanced have turned towards Zoom. So much so, that the company’s name has become a household verb for making a video call. Similarly, most investors would be familiar with the meteoric rise of ZM stock throughout the past year. Despite its recent descent, the company’s shares have tripled over the past year. With Zoom set to release its latest quarterly report after today’s closing bell, it would not surprise if investors are watching it yet again.Read MoreSource: TD Ameritrade TOSFor one thing, Zoom has been hard at work bolstering its existing services. To address the elephant in the room, most investors would be worried about the company’s post-pandemic viability. Well, last Wednesday, Zoom announced a new accessibility feature for its platform. The company launched “Live Transcription” and is now offering it for free to all users. With this new automatic closed caption feature, users with hearing disabilities can attend a Zoom call effortlessly. Will this make ZM stock worth investing in? Your guess is as good as mine.Broadcom Inc.Following that, we have global semiconductor supplier, Broadcom. In brief, the company designs, develop and manufactures semiconductors and infrastructure software products. Broadcom’s key end markets include data centers, networking, software, broadband, and other industrial markets. As you can imagine, it would have been busy over the last year given the immense demand for semiconductors throughout 2020. With the current chip shortages, Broadcom would be amongst the key players to step up to meet this demand. It seems that investors are well aware of this seeing as AVGO stock is up by over 160% since the March 2020 selloffs. With booming end markets, investors would likely be keeping an eye on AVGO stock ahead of its earnings this Thursday.Source: TD Ameritrade TOSFor the most part, Wall Street expects the company to perform relatively well for the quarter. Current estimates suggest that Broadcom will report an earnings per share of $6.55 on revenue of $6.61 billion. This would mark a sizable bump from its revenue of $5.86 billion in the same quarter last year. Aside from that, CEO Tan Hock Eng also mentioned that its infrastructure software segment delivered solid results back in December as well. With the limelight on AVGO stock this week, will you consider adding it to your portfolio?Plug Power Inc.Another top tech company in focus now would be Plug Power. Indeed, most auto investors would be familiar with this electric vehicle (EV) pick-and-shovel play. With PLUG stock looking at gains of over 1,000% in the past year, this would be the case. For starters, the New York-based company develops hydrogen fuel cell technology which powers EVs. According to Plug Power, the company created the first commercially viable market for hydrogen fuel cell tech. Moreover, the likes of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT) employ Plug Power’s turnkey solutions. For investors looking to invest in the growing industry, it would be among the go-to choices at the moment.Source: TD Ameritrade TOSLast Thursday, the company made two major announcements. Namely, Plug Power revealed its involvement in two massive projects in Asia and North America. Firstly, Plug Power completed a $1.6 billion capital investment into a partnership with South Korean business group, SK Group. Said investment will be put towards accelerating hydrogen as an alternative energy source in the Asian markets. On the local front, Plug Power announced that it is now working on building North America’s largest green hydrogen production facility in New York. With Plug Power seemingly firing on all cylinders, would you consider PLUG stock a buy?Canaan Creative Inc.Canaan is a China-based computer hardware manufacturer. It specializes in blockchain servers and ASIC microprocessor solutions that are used in bitcoin mining. Its high-performance computing solutions are used to solve complex problems efficiently. CAN shares are up by over 34% on today’s opening bell and currently trades at $20.70 as of 12:10 p.m. ET.Source: TD Ameritrade TOSLast month, the company announced that its revenue visibility has improved substantially in 2021 as a result of attaining purchase orders totaling more than 100,000 units of bitcoin mining machines from customers in North America. A majority of these purchases were placed with prepayment and will likely occupy the company’s current manufacturing capacity for the full year of 2021 and beyond. Late last year, the company shifted its client base to most publicly traded companies which tend to place sizable orders with long-term commitment.As a result, the company is able to forecast its revenue more precisely. This would give Canaan an edge in planning its production and logistics in advance. It will also allow the company to achieve profitable growth in the long run. With that in mind, will you consider buying CAN stock?The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":235,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":362453757,"gmtCreate":1614661003279,"gmtModify":1704773679308,"author":{"id":"3573868085609262","authorId":"3573868085609262","name":"Bees","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573868085609262","authorIdStr":"3573868085609262"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/362453757","repostId":"1140907630","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1140907630","pubTimestamp":1614569389,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1140907630?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-03-01 11:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Berkshire’s Busy 2020 Broke a Record Despite Lack of Major Deals","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1140907630","media":"bloomberg","summary":"Read more about Berkshire’s letter hereWarren Buffett made no splashy deals in 2020, and he didn’t w","content":"<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/NW/2114358303\" target=\"_blank\">Read more about Berkshire’s letter here</a></p><p>Warren Buffett made no splashy deals in 2020, and he didn’t weigh in on some of the year’s most contentious topics in his much-anticipated annual letter.
