Investors this week are demonstrating a classic strategy – buy the dip. This approach has proven successful as chip stocks experienced a resurgence, particularly with Nvidia reaching a record high. The renewed enthusiasm for AI was largely attributed to a positive outlook from Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM), overshadowing some less favorable news in the industry.
Nvidia’s stock closed the week above $138 per share, marking a significant milestone with a market value of $3.39 trillion. Surpassing Apple, Nvidia is now the world’s second-largest company, and experts predict it may soon reach a $4 trillion valuation. The demand for GPU chips remains robust, indicating strong growth potential and ROI for early adopters.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s comments on the overwhelming demand for the new Blackwell chips further fueled investor confidence. Despite the stock’s impressive performance, T. Rowe Price portfolio manager Tony Wang believes investors are still underestimating Nvidia’s growth potential, especially given the exceptional demand for AI applications.
Upcoming earnings reports from key companies like Meta, Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft, which contribute significantly to Nvidia’s revenue, will provide further insight into the chip giant’s market dominance. These companies have committed to continued investment in AI, with significant spending in the last quarter alone.
Analysts are optimistic about Nvidia’s future, with BofA raising its price target on the stock by nearly 40%. The positive outlook for Taiwan Semiconductor also contributed to the sector-wide rally, with a notable increase in net income and revenue growth forecast.
As the third quarter results from Big Tech companies unfold, particularly in relation to AI spending, Nvidia’s momentum in the short term will be closely monitored. However, any dips in the stock price may present buying opportunities, as experts like Niles Investment Management founder Dan Niles remain bullish on Nvidia’s long-term prospects.
With Nvidia shares already up 21% this month and 179% year to date, the outlook for the company’s continued growth and dominance in the AI space is promising.
