Stock price when the opinion was issued
Clear winner, because its chips make AI possible. There is some competition out there, but AVGO isn't one of them. Look for a good buying opportunity.
He sees a parallel with INTC, which was a darling for many years. Not now. NVDA still has the market share; there are companies trying to catch up, but NVDA is still further ahead.
Marries hardware and software and applying massive improvements to push product cycle forward. AI wouldn't exist if not for NVDA. Capex cycles do end, so it won't be the honeymoon period forever. But we're only in 4th-5th inning, much more growth to go on the capex front. Still underbuilt, undersupplied, AI still taking off.
Earnings are coming up, and he thinks they'll beat and raise again. Yield is 0.02%.
He'd still buy here. Always fireworks around quarterly earnings. It's run up, but fundamentals are outstanding. Clear technical superiority in AI chips. AI infrastructure buildout will keep order books full for a long time. Major beneficiary of AI capex.
No contest. This is the one to own.
Won't easily be toppled from the throne on which it finds itself. Every time someone thinks they can do that, it comes out with a new version of the chip that's even better. Definitely the bellwether on demand going forward. Any sign of negativity in the comments tonight won't play well for any name in this arena.
He has a coin to flip on what the results are going to be. The interesting thing about today's report is that he feels the bar's being set a bit lower than in previous quarters. We're now in the thick of uncertainty about where the economy is going over the next 6 months after the impact of Trump's policies. We've heard cautionary whispers coming out, so analysts may be looking for some negativity in the comments tonight.
If results aren't as bad as we think, stock could see a nice little pop. Stock's consolidated after a nice rebound from April. It comes down to where's the market, where's the bar been truly set, and what does the CEO say?
Personally, he thinks the street's prepared for some bad news tonight. If it gets that, but nothing worse, it doesn't mean the market will crater on this stock. There will be nagging concerns: that we've priced too much into the stock, we've priced in too much demand, what's the competition going forward, are there viable and cheaper options coming out of other countries like China? If so, investors will be prepared to pull back. But it's not over yet for the stock; it's still the market leader and a solid company going forward.
