By Matt Krantz Verified| Investor's Business Daily Verified What does an S&P 500 stock need to do to get attention in this market? You'd think doubling profit (or more) would do it — but apparently not. Eight stocks in the S&P 500 — including Seagate Technology (STX), Vistra (VST) and Micron Technology (MU) — are expected to post 100% or higher earnings-per-share growth in the first quarter.
By Matt Krantz Verified| Investor's Business Daily Verified President Donald Trump seems determined to pick a trade war with China. And that's bad news for investors in U.S. S&P 500 companies that rely on the region. Eleven S&P 500 stocks, including Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR), KLA (KLAC) and Tesla (TLSA), disclose getting 20% or more of their revenue from China, says an Investor's Business Daily analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence and MarketSurge.
By Matt Krantz Verified| Investor's Business Daily Verified If you're not feeling whipsawed by the S&P 500 this year — you must not be paying attention. And some investors are looking to specific ETFs to help smooth out the discomfort. Gold and dividend-paying stock ETFs are gaining popularity with investors looking for a safe haven from President Donald Trump's tariff tirade. Even after the rally on April 9 following Trump backing down from some tariffs, the S&P 500 is still down 6.4% this year.
