Generative AI came along, and the hyperscalers need the servers and blades. Stock sold off because the whisper numbers were so high, earnings couldn't meet expectations.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 07/23, Up 34%)

12-month target of $268. He's trimmed a bit. Has really jumped on the AI trend.

HOLD

Just yesterday, BAC listed it as one of its favourites, with a 12-month price target of $175. His own target is between $155-160. 2/3 of revenue is in DRAM, and that's why it's done so well, especially needed for AI.

RISKY

Like a lottery ticket. Talk of splitting up the company. Who knows where the bottom is, but you could write a put lower or buy a call higher.

SELL

Pretty fully priced, he took profit. He deploys profits into other names with decent runways. To determine if fully priced, he reviews the published analysts' price targets and does his own.

HOLD
Represents 20% of an investor's portfolio.

20% is pretty big. He never likes to have anything over 10%. If you have capital gains, which you don't want to trigger, and you still like it, write some calls. Lots of horses in the AI race. Taking profit in these mega-caps is easy, but it's harder to find a candidate to buy.

DON'T BUY

Controversial among his research team, but he's not a fan. Eventually, it will take off. Highest-paid CEO in the semiconductor business, but the worst-performing stock. 12-month price target of $41.15. Plays directly in the sandbox of NVDA and AMD. Results missed, guided lower. Price action tells you not to own.

SELL ON STRENGTH
Pulled back to investor's purchase price -- sell on strength or dollar-cost-average down?

Doesn't own any of the consultants, because they're trying to find their place in AI. Has been left behind. 

DON'T BUY
Not trading like an AI stock.

No. Big company now, just shy of $1B market cap. The marketing blurbs all sound great, but it's tough to compete with the big AI players. Not profitable. Beat recent expectations slightly, moving in right direction, but it's a hard slog.

TOP PICK

All 3 Top Picks today play in the sandbox of 4 areas: auto, industrial, edge AI, and definitely AI infrastructure. 

Processing power management and computing infrastructure. Well positioned in AI revolution, though price doesn't really reflect that. 12-month target of $45. Cyclical. Wouldn't be surprised at a pullback over the summer; pick it up here at $39, and then around $36-37.

(Analysts’ price target is $52.00)

COMMENT

We've only been talking today about AI. There's the whole technology arena out there. Fintech, e-commerce, EVs. It's a big market. The pendulum will swing, so make sure you get into stocks that aren't just playing in one sandbox, and good examples are his Top Picks today.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

Most of the names in UMAX are seeing downward pressure on their share prices mostly due to high debt levels and margin compression from high interest expenses. With a decline in rates, we could see several of the underlying names in UMAX bouncing higher, and we feel that this could bode well for UMAX, however, it is a covered call ETF and so its unit price will not see as large of an increase as the underlying holdings would in the event of a rebound. For an investor seeking high yield and the potential for a recovery in share price, we think this name can do well if rates continue to decline, although, due to its covered call strategy, the unit price can continue to slide from here.
