Why Nvidia Needs to Appeal to a Bigger Crowd

Jensen Huang pleased the crowd at the CES conference this week — just not the “right” crowd. The Nvidia co-founder and chief executive was in rare form for the annual conference’s keynote address, even swapping his typical black leather racing jacket for a glittery one. He used the occasion to introduce products such as new videogaming processors and even an artificial-intelligence supercomputer the size of a large sandwich. He also announced new efforts in humanoid robots and self-driving cars, the latter of which he predicted will be the “first trillion-dollar robotics industry.” The in-person audience was thrilled — particularly with a new family of gaming graphics cards based on the company’s Blackwell AI chip. But investors seemed disappointed, sending Nvidia’s stock sliding more than 6% Tuesday. That was double what the shares gained the previous day, when Nvidia seemed on track to surpass Apple and perhaps become the first public […]

Nvidia Stock Rebounds. Why Hot Jobs Data Rocked the Chip Maker’s Shares.

Nvidia stock was climbing ahead of Wednesday’s opening bell, recovering some ground after stronger-than-expected economic data triggered a Big Tech selloff. Shares in the chip designer rose 1.9% to $140.14 in premarket trading. Futures tracking the benchmark S&P 500 index were up 0.3%. Nvidia stock tumbled 6.2% in the previous session, wiping out about $200 billion worth of market capitalization. The plunge came shortly after red-hot jobs numbers fueled investors’ fears that the Federal Reserve won’t cut interest rates by much this year. The Bureau of Labor Statistics said November job openings rose to 8.1 million, which was ahead of economists’ expectations at 7.7 million, according to FactSet. When the labor market is strong, there’s less incentive for the Fed to cut rates — and higher borrowing costs tend to particularly weigh on tech stocks by chipping away at the future cash flows that make up a core part of

Quantum Stocks Plunge After Nvidia CEO Says ‘Very Useful’ Computers Are Decades Away

IonQ and other quantum-computing stocks slid after Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang played down the likely utility of the technology in the near- or medium-term. “If you kind of said 15 years for very useful quantum computers, that’d probably be on the early side. If you said 30 is probably on the late side,” Huang told analysts late Tuesday. Quantum-computing shares, which have surged since Alphabet announced a technological breakthrough last month, tumbled in premarket trading. Shares of IonQ (IONQ), Quantum Computing (QUBT), D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) and Rigetti Computing (RGTI) all fell 14% or more. Huang said that quantum computing was good at small data problems, such as cryptography, rather than large data problems.

Nvidia Stock Rises After CEO Unveils New Graphics Cards

Nvidia stock was rising on Tuesday as investors reacted to developments around new products from the chip designer. Shares climbed 1.3% to $151.40 in premarket trading. Futures tracking the benchmark S&P 500 were up 0.1%. Nvidia had risen 3.4% on Monday, briefing topping Apple’s market valuation in intraday trading. The chip designer closed at a market capitalization at $3.66 trillion, putting it on the brink of overtaking the iPhone maker as the world’s most-valuable company. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang gave a keynote speech at the CES tech trade show in Las Vegas on Monday, unveiling the company’s next-generation gaming graphics cards. But that’s not moving the stock in a major way, given that it’s artificial intelligence rather than gaming that has led to shares skyrocketing over the past two years.

How Nvidia’s Plan for Driverless Trucks Turned a Little-Known Autonomous Tech Stock Into a Big Winner

Aurora Innovation stock was surging Tuesday morning after the self-driving technology company revealed its partnership with Nvidia to deploy driverless trucks. Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang announced the long-term manufacturing deal with Aurora and Continental, Aurora’s manufacturing partner, at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Nvidia DRIVE Thor, an in-vehicle computing platform, will be used in the primary computer of the Aurora Driver, the press release states. Pittsburgh-based Aurora plans to launch its driverless trucks commercially in April 2025, a timeline that has already been delayed from the previous plans to push it out in 2024. CEO Chris Urmson told investors in October that he’s taking a “crawl, walk, run approach” with the trucks, planning to deploy just 10 at the start. The shift in the timeline is expected to have “negligible financial impact,” Urmson had said. Aurora’s stock was up 65% at one point during premarket trading, before

NVIDIA Stock Forecast: A Dip is a Buy Opportunity

NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has had a poor recent performance, underperforming the NASDAQ100 and S&P 500, but now is an opportunity to buy. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) Daily candlestick chart – 11.12.2024 As of the close, NVIDIA shares fell 2.69% to close at $135.007, falling below $134 intraday, mainly affected by the semiconductor index, Broadcom, TSMC, etc. all fell sharply. NVIDIA has very strong buying support at $131, and according to my recent trading records, the range of $130-$145 is very profitable, but it should be noted that there is no probability of falling below $130, so the total position is controlled within 30%. At the moment my position is within 30%, and if it falls below $130, I will increase my position again, and this probability has started to rise recently. Buying on dips is still a very good opportunity to trade profitably. As for the valuation level, I think the overall

Euro Credit Default Protection Costs Rise Following Nvidia’s Earnings

The cost of insuring euro credit against default using credit default swaps rises as appetite for risk declines following Nvidia’s earnings. The company’s earnings were stronger-than-expected but gross margin fell slightly. “The negative market reaction to Nvidia’s results suggests investors are now focusing on the minutiae rather than the big picture,” AJ Bell’s Dan Coatsworth says in a note. The iTraxx Europe Crossover index which tracks euro junk bond credit default swaps rises 4 basis points to 308bps, S&P Global Market Intelligence data show. The iTraxx Europe Main index which tracks euro investment-grade CDS climbs 1bp to 58bps.

Nvidia Results Show Red Flags

Nvidia reported another strong quarter but there are two red flags, Swissquote Bank’s Ipek Ozkardeskaya writes in market comments. The artificial-intelligence chip maker’s gross margin slipped to 74.6% in the third quarter from 75.1% in the second quarter, Ozkardeskaya notes. Nvidia’s next-generation AI chips, known as Blackwell, are in high demand from customers like Microsoft, Google, Meta and Elon Musk’s xAI. However, these companies will be done buying chips on a large scale at some point, Ozkardeskaya says, and Nvidia will need to find new clients.

Chip Stocks Have Tumbled. Time to Buy.

Semiconductor stocks have gotten hit too hard. The time has come to jump in and buy. The VanEck Semiconductor Exchange-Traded Fund has fallen 14% to $241 from the record high it hit in mid July, while the S&P 500 has kept on rising. Now, much of the risk that demand for chips could be hurt as a result is reflected in the stocks’ prices. The ETF is trading close to the range of about $215 to $240 where it has found support all year. Investors keep buying the stocks, recognizing that chip makers’ profits earnings are likely to continue to rise over the long term. Chip stocks are “oversold,” wrote Jeff deGraaf, head of technical research at Renaissance Macro Research, in a note on Monday. The semiconductor ETF now trades at 26 times the earnings per share analysts expect the fund’s companies to deliver over the coming 12 months. That

Nvidia Stock Slips. Why Oracle’s Data Center Drive Is a Sign of Robust Chip Demand.

Nvidia has lost some of its shine recently, and shares were falling again early Wednesday. But earnings from Oracle may prove to be a good sign for the chip maker. The stock slipped 0.6% to $107.43 in Wednesday’s premarket as investors waited for the latest batch of U.S. inflation data. The overall market was also retreating — futures for the benchmark S&P 500 index were down 0.3%. The Big Tech stock has racked up triple-digit gains in 2024 but is down 14% over the past three months on worries that an economic slowdown will stop AI demand from rising at such a breakneck speed, with underwhelming sales guidance issued at the end of last month adding fuel to the fire. Big-name asset managers like Fidelity and T. Rowe Price have been trimming their stakes in Nvidia, while CEO Jensen Huang has also sold some shares. Nevertheless, a strong set of
