Tesla is losing its stranglehold on the EV market. Does that mean Lucid is a great buy?Lucid (LCID 4.93%) stock enjoyed a session of strong gains on Tuesday.

Will adding Hulu make things better?Fubo (FUBO 2.49%) was something of an also-ran in the streaming wars. While major content creators ramped up their own direct-to-customer operations, Fubo offered a bundle service that didn't quite wow anyone. The proof of that is in the fact that Fubo's subscriber numbers are well below those of other bundled services, like Disney's (DIS 0.75%) Hulu+. Hulu+ is an important reference point here, as Fubo is about to take it over. There's a lot to unpack.What does Fubo offe ...

The struggling semiconductor company needs multiple things to go right.Semiconductor giant Intel (INTC -0.20%) is in a precarious position. The troubled chip designer and manufacturer has lost considerable market share to AMD in the core PC and server central processing unit (CPU) markets; its foundry business has few external customers despite massive investments to catch up with TSMC; and new CEO Lip-Bu Tan is shaking up the company with layoffs and strategy shifts.Under pressure from the Trump administra ...

Amazon had a solid second quarter and the really important trend for the business hasn't changed one bit.If you are old enough you will remember a time when Amazon.com (AMZN 1.44%) was a fledgling online book store.
