Why PubMatic Stock Plunged Almost 24% in March

2 weeks ago Jaime E. Love

What happened

Shares of advertising-technology company PubMatic (NASDAQ:PUBM) fell 23.9% in March, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The entire drop came early in the month, when Alphabet‘s Google made an announcement that sent shockwaves throughout the entire ad-tech industry. However, PubMatic started April with an important announcement of its own that helped it rebound.

So what

Google is eliminating third-party browser cookies, something that ad-tech companies use to deliver targeted advertising for their clients. Ad-tech stocks like The Trade Desk, Magnite, and PubMatic plummeted on the news, as investors presume this is categorically bad news for the industry. However, executives at these companies (notably Jeff Green, CEO of The Trade Desk) have downplayed the risk and some even believe it’s good news in the long run. Then again, you’d expect them to say that.

2 months ago Jaime E. Love

Technology companies have unquestionably been the winners of the pandemic. Share prices rocketed last year as millions grew accustomed to lockdown life and relied more than ever on their products.

Funds that invest in these companies soared and the Fidelity Global Technology fund was no exception: it has returned 40pc over the past 12 months, ahead of the 36pc from a global index of tech stocks.

Hyun Ho Sohn, who has run the £8.2bn fund since 2013, is now turning his attention to life after the pandemic and the stocks poised to take off when we exit lockdown. He tells Telegraph Money why he thinks not all technology shares are expensive and why one household name should be seen as one of Britain’s tech leaders.

Who is the fund for?

The fund is for any investor looking for long-term returns from the technology sector. Technology is used in our daily

Is ReneSola Stock a Buy?

3 months ago Jaime E. Love

Falling costs, improved technology, and policy support — the tailwinds are firmly behind solar stocks. The share of solar energy in global electricity generation is expected to rise from a mere 3% currently to roughly 20% by 2050. That would surely benefit solar stocks and explains investors’ euphoria for the sector. As a result, solar stocks, including ReneSola (NYSE:SOL), have risen significantly lately. After already more than doubling in 2021, let’s see if ReneSola stock is a buy right now.

Focused operations

To better understand ReneSola’s prospects, it’s imperative to briefly look at the company’s history. ReneSola’s beginnings go back to 2005, when it started its solar power business in China. Up till 2017, ReneSola was primarily involved in the manufacture of solar wafers and panels. However, the company was incurring losses and losing market share to competitors.
