NASDAQ:NVDA
Most would say. Cathie Wood missed this trade because of the valuation. But last week's earnings told him there's something going on in the chip industry. The last time he saw a huge beat like Nvidia's last week was Blackberry in 2006. This signals a conversion in the chip market towards AI chips. Probably will see a delineation between winners and losers based on who makes AI chips, winners like AMD. Until more players appear, Nvidia is the only game in town and enjoys a premium valuation. Yes, that is high but growth in the coming years will bring this stock onside. You must keep your eyes on this. There's a sea change in semis and these guys are in the forefront. No, this isn't a bubble like cryptos, because AI chips have real applications from companies seeking their chips to upgrade.
It's very frustrating, because we're backtracking to the bad days with the huge divergence between tech and everything else. She's scared by crowded trades. If you're comfortable owning Nvidia at 50x PE, then you're also comfortable with Zoom, Tesla, Teladoc, etc. She is not this kind of portfolio manager. She watches valuations and looks long term.
He's overweight semis and just added to it. This has been a watershed week for these stocks. NDVA's blowout report this week marked the start of an arms race in AI. But he has avoided the capital-intense companies trading at high multiples, like Nvidia, even though its PE is cheaper today than right after earnings. That said, we know how NVDA will benefit from the AI boom (its applications) but not sure with other companies.
Top performer in Q1, up 90% and a heavy favourite of his. It esploded, helped by the craze in generative AI--Nvidia creates those chips. The stock was one of the worst performers in 2022. Yes, this rally can lose steam, but he doesn't care about its short-term moves. This is an elite stock like Apple.
He wouldn't be adding when a stock's performed the way this one has. Be happy with what you have, and stay with it if you like it. Wait for a pullback to add more. Probably a bit ahead of itself with AI euphoria. Wonderful company, and AI will be prevalent in years to come.
