Stock price when the opinion was issued
Forefront of AI revolution, which is in early innings but a long game with fits and starts. Technological superiority. DeepSeek started the uncertainty, bringing into question the capital spend by hyperscalers.
Big run, but earnings have moved along in step, so PEG is actually less expensive than before. PE has contracted to high 20s, earnings expected to grow at a similar cadence for the next 3 years. Pullback is buyable.
His pick in the sector is TSM, which makes the chips for NVDA and the like. It's more diversified. Valuation is cheaper. Much clearer growth path going forward over next few years.
NVDA has fallen, but it's not a cheap stock. Factored into the share price is a huge growth expectation. Just because share price has fallen on a high flyer, that doesn't necessarily make it cheap.
He'd use broad money flows out of tech to enter tech. Phenomenal business economics. Don't look at its PE, just look at free cashflow. Compare price to FCF, invert that, and you get the FCF yield. Domestic demand and demand ex-Asia are still quite robust. Growth at a reasonable price here. If you've had your eye on this for a while, use this pullback to get in.
A lot of its customers are looking to get into the design business. Longer term that will have an impact. He owns TSM instead.
Before you look at individual names, it's really important to understand the type of market we're in. What's happening in tech right now is not healthy. This name held up much longer than most of the index, but every stock in that index is broken. Great company, but don't have FOMO. Sector doesn't have tailwinds right now.
