Stock Opinions by Joe Terranova

BUY
Goldman Sachs

He sold this a few months ago. The net-interest income pressure will challenge the money-centered banks. JPM can withstand that (he owns). For GS, the culture they once had has returned; they have strong underwriting. Volatility will raise their trading revenue in coming quarters. He likes GS and JPM among the money-centred banks. The direction of GS company is great now.

COMMENT
NVIDIA Corporation
Nvidia reports after the bell today

The report will set the tone for overall market risk for the coming days. It could fall due to extreme bullishness. Can other areas pick up inflows from the money market and bonds. AI stocks are rattled now give SMCI, down 26%, with some skepticism. If NVDA doesn't miss, it goes higher. He wants to hear if there's strong demand for the H200 chip or any missteps with Blackwell.

TJX Companies
