The stock has been largely ignored by Wall Street for years. But you shouldn't sleep on the business reset that the company has been working on, even though new headwinds have cropped up.</p><p>Stanley Black & Decker's big problem was a debt-fueled acquisition spree, which expanded the company's brand portfolio. Although it cemented its position as a dominant force in the tool business, it left behind a bloated, inefficient operation overburdened by debt. The company has been working hard to slim down, increase efficiency, and reduce leverage. That process is, in fact, largely complete.</p><p class="caption">Image source: Getty Images.</p><p><a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/05/24/wall-street-is-sleeping-on-this-dividend-king-indu/?source=iedfolrf0000001">Continue reading</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>SpaceX Is Going Public: Here's the 1 Thing the Company Must Get Right to Justify a $1.5 Trillion Valuation</h1> <p>newsfeedback@fool.com (Billy Duberstein) — Sun, 24 May 2026 10:05:00 -0400</p> <p>On Wednesday, Elon Musk's SpaceX released its S-1 prospectus ahead of its upcoming initial public offering (IPO).

Here's Why the Bears Are Dead Wrong.</h1> <p>newsfeedback@fool.com (Ryan Vanzo) — Sun, 24 May 2026 04:30:00 -0400</p> <p>Wall Street isn't crazy about <strong>Plug Power</strong> <span class="ticker" data-id="205007">(NASDAQ: PLUG)</span> stock right now. The average rating on the stock is a "hold," with an average price target of $3.58. That implies a slight decline during the next 12 months. Several analysts, however, rate the stock a "sell," with price targets implying a decline of anywhere from 25% to 65% during the next year. </p><p>Many Wall Street analysts have been consistently bearish on Plug Power stock. Yet the shares have risen in value by more than 350% during the past year.

By designing, manufacturing, and selling hydrogen fuel systems, the company has consistently positioned itself as a <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/types-of-stocks/esg-investing/climate-change-stocks/">climate change stock</a>. Its technology has the potential to replace conventional fossil fuels with hydrogen, which, at least in some cases, can be produced from renewable energy sources with minimal carbon emissions. Notably, hydrogen fuel is a potential clear fuel source for hard-to-decarbonize sectors like <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/industrials/airline-stocks/">aviation</a> and <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/materials/steel-stocks/">steelmaking</a>.</p><p><a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/05/24/wall-street-says-this-ai-stock-is-a-sell-heres-why/?source=iedfolrf0000001">Continue reading</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>The AI Stock I'm Buying for My Retirement Portfolio -- and Why It Has Nothing to Do With Hype</h1> <p>newsfeedback@fool.com (Lyle Daly) — Sun, 24 May 2026 04:23:00 -0400</p> <p>At 35, I'm still a couple of decades from retirement.
