DON'T BUY
Trade it after today's market-wide sell-off?

No. He would limit his exposure to any semis, given Trump's tariffs and embargo on China.

HOLD

A year ago, everyone thought that AMD was the next best competitor to NVDA. Lost second place to AVGO. Production issues, as so earnings disappointed in February. Coming back, production for GPUs back in place. They'll come back.

TOP PICK

NVDA may be the better company, but AMD has more upside. Is volatile, though. When this rallies, perhaps next year, he will divest. Expects this to rise $20-30.

(Analysts’ price target is $129.96)
HOLD

Although she doesn't own it she has traded it. She is cautious on the run-up and AI sector but it could show good growth and there is still room to run in the sector. It scores 8 out of 10 fundamentally. There is a mix of buy and hold on the street and analysts see an upside of 12 to 13% in valuation. You could keep holding it but also do some trimming.

TRADE
AMD vs. Shopify

Prefers SHOP. AMD is fully priced. He targets $125 for SHOP. Don't sell AMD, just raise some calls against it.

SELL

Price target is $155-160 for the average analyst. Has come a long way. His preference would be NVDA, which he still holds.

TOP PICK

Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) is a global semiconductor company which operates in the fields of computing, graphics, and visualization technologies. Known for its high-performance processors and graphics cards, AMD competes robustly with companies like Intel and NVIDIA. Its product line includes Ryzen processors, Radeon graphics cards, and EPYC server processors, positioning it strongly in both consumer and enterprise markets. Social media mentions are up 11.7% in the past 24h.

HOLD

Likes to watch the semiconductors as an indicator for economic expectations. This group has led the rally over the last number of years, regularly checking back to the 200-week MA (as in March/April of this year). Rallied nicely since then. NVDA is obviously the leader and making new all-time highs. Semi index in the US has not made a new high, and that's a little something to think about especially when the market it. Its RSI has come off the deep low, so there's no issue in the short-term.

This name is performing very well. Semis are giving good messaging right now. He'd really love to see the semiconductor index make a new high, and that's the caveat. This one will pick up market share, but he'd prefer to be with the leader NVDA.

TOP PICK

#2 to NVDA. The go-to name if you don't want to own an NVDA chip. Companies need backup, and this name can provide it. No dividend.

(Analysts’ price target is $144.22)
HOLD

Still carving out its lane in AI chips. Q2 earnings beat by a hair. Data centre revenue up 80% YOY. Gaming segment remains soft. 8/10 on fundamentals. Chip momentum is real. Consistent upward trend since April selloff.

Prefers, and owns, NVDA. But things could change.
