4 days ago | fool.com | Jake Lerch |Justin Pope |Will Healy

Obviously, it's been a tough start to the year for the stock market. As of this writing, the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average are down 10%, 16%, and 7%, respectively, year to date. Nevertheless, there are stocks that have bucked this trend. So, let's examine three stocks with positive year-to-date returns, as selected by a panel of Motley Fool contributors: Palantir Technologies (PLTR 1.06%), T-Mobile US (TMUS 0.81%), and CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD -1.22%).

4 days ago | fool.com | Will Healy

Investing in U.S. stocks brings near-term uncertainty. The ever-changing tariff levels mean that U.S. consumers and businesses are unsure of what many items and inputs will cost, making the business environment difficult to navigate. Such conditions increase the appeal of international stocks not tied to the U.S., and this could play into the hands of MercadoLibre (MELI 1.65%).

In the current environment, it seems antithetical to say anything positive about Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -0.88%). The semiconductor stock has lost more than 60% of its value over the last 13 months as industry struggles and tariff-related worries have weighed on the company. However, the investment case for AMD stock looks completely different, and given its advancements in one part of the chip industry, the stock could be in the perfect position to prosper over the next five years.

South Korean e-commerce company Coupang (CPNG 0.68%) launched its U.S. IPO in March 2021, and those hoping at the time that they had found the next great e-commerce company were likely disappointed. Since Coupang began trading, it has lost more than half of its value. However, that figure includes a recovery of more than 130% from its May 2022 low.

6 days ago | fool.com | Will Healy

Rigetti Computing's (RGTI 0.85%) stock attracted considerable attention from investors in late 2024, as it surged higher by almost 2,000% in the last three months of the year. Its computing power is on track to rise rapidly, and Alphabet's Willow quantum chip seems to have reinvigorated the industry. However, in 2025, it's lost around half of its value as industry insiders expressed doubt that the technology would be ready for commercial use anytime soon.

Costco Wholesale's (COST 2.65%) stock has earned considerable returns for its investors in recent years. The stock marched steadily higher in 2023 and 2024 but has endured a pullback amid the sell-off in the broad market and is now near correction territory. Indeed, Costco has evolved into one of the world's most successful retailers, and its rising stock price likely reflects its strong position in the marketplace.
Where Will Alphabet Stock Be in 5 Years?

1 week ago | fool.com | Will Healy

Despite the strength and stability of Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL 1.12%) (GOOG 1.21%), its direction over the next five years is far from certain. The company has been in a gradual process of reducing the percentage of revenue it derives from advertising. It owns numerous other businesses that could potentially drive revenue growth for the tech giant, though nobody can guarantee if or how much such enterprises will succeed.
Here's How Many Shares of Realty Income Stock You Should Own to Get $1,000 in Yearly Dividends

1 week ago | fool.com | Will Healy

Realty Income (O 1.81%) has become a dividend stalwart, even for a REIT that has to pay out at least 90% of its net income in the form of dividends. The commercial property owner, otherwise known as the "monthly dividend company," has increased its payout at least once a year since 1994. Additionally, its dividend yield now stands at 5.9%, more than quadruple the S&P 500 (^GSPC 1.81%) average of 1.35%.

Is Dutch Bros Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold in 2025?

1 week ago | fool.com | Will Healy

Investors may not know what to make of Dutch Bros (BROS 1.09%) stock in 2025. Although the coffee chain has expanded rapidly since before it began trading, its stock fell after its IPO and traded in a range for most of its history. That changed when a breakout in late 2024 sent shares surging. Still, after eclipsing the $80 per share mark in February, investors began to sell, causing it to lose around one-third of its value.
