Activision Blizzard has been able to smooth out its results by creating recurring revenue streams that make it best-of-breed in the video game space.

Baidu is the lead investor in a $100 million investment into a Chinese laundry app. Is online-to-offline (O2O) business the next growth driver for the company?

Sirius XM is benefitting from a large secular trend, better financial management, and the influence of one of the most revered men in the industry. I believe that after some dark years the best is yet to come for this company and its shareholders.

Netflix is one of my earliest-purchased and best-performing stocks. I've learned a great deal about investing through this stock. Here are three of those lessons.

Baidu released Q2 earnings on July 27. Here are three questions for the CEO that most directly speak to the future of the business.

Starbucks stock is up more than 350% over the past five years, and it may soon surpass the fast food giant as the world's most valuable restaurant stock.

Corning is more than 160 years old, at the cutting edge of a handful of important technologies, and down over 25% over the past 6 months. With a solid and growing dividend, this might be a good place for investors looking to deploy some capital.

CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg announced earlier this year that DreamWorks will move from three feature films a year to two and cut the budget for each. Can the standalone company compete with Disney's Pixar unit?

Ford has a few potential growth catalysts in its future that should drive the stock price higher. With new investors getting paid a greater than 4% dividend to wait for this growth, it may make sense to put this automaker on your watch list.

BJ's Restaurants reported Q2 earnings on July 23. There's a lot to like in its results, and it should have many years of solid growth ahead.

Hasbro recently delivered a great quarter. With some big catalysts in the years to come, a wonderful stable of in-house brands, and a shareholder-friendly capital allocation program, this stock still has market-beating potential.

Panera has implemented new technology to help improve operations. Does this make Panera a buy?

Pepsi is well-diversified, both geographically and with its many different brands. But is Pepsi still a good long-term dividend investment considering the declining popularity of soda pop?

The growth of marketplace revenue -- a recurring revenue stream -- is a great thing for Zillow.

Don't let the broader issues of the Chinese stock market lead you away from investing in the very best Chinese companies.

The combination of dividends and opportunistic share repurchases can lead to wonderful results for long-term shareholders. Apple is doing a great job with both.
