  • Nvidia Reports Earnings Today. Data Centers Could Be a Silver Lining.

    While some analysts have expressed concerns over how weakness in the tech sector could impact the semiconductor maker, one analyst believes there may yet be a silver lining. Demand for data centers has remained resilient, and could be a life raft for chip companies like Nvidia (ticker: NVDA ) that are looking to shore up their bottom lines, wrote Citi analyst Atif Malik in a research note. “We hear data center still remains an area of relative strength within semis, as consumer semis PCs and smartphone-related demand continues to come down,” he wrote.

  • 4 Top Dividend Payers of the S&P 500

    In periods of rising inflation and slowing economic growth, investors often turn to the stability and reliability of dividend stocks to see them through the tough times -- and with good reason. The asset managers at Hartford Funds studied the performance of the benchmark S&P 500 going all the way back to 1930, looking at stocks that pay dividends and those that don't, and found over that near-100-year period, dividend-paying stocks contributed 41% to the index's total return. It also includes the so-called "lost decade" of the 2000s, where the dot-com bubble, 9/11, and the financial markets collapse all conspired to generate negative returns for the S&P 500, but dividend stocks still gained 1.8%.
