Trade QQQ with leverage- Nvidia Corporation remains at the center of the AI boom, with Goldman Sachs reiterating a Buy rating and a $250 target, arguing the stock trades below its historic valuation despite expectations for a “beat-and-raise” quarter and triple‑digit earnings growth driven by Blackwell GPUs and emerging Agentic AI demand. At the same time, investors are rotating some capital toward rivals and partners, as Nvidia faces tightening HBM supply, a smuggling scandal involving restricted chips, and deepening ecosystem ties such as a $3.4 billion AI cloud deal with Iren and strong hyperscaler orders from Microsoft and other cloud giants.
- Apple Inc is being recast as an AI‑driven growth story, with Wedbush’s Daniel Ives lifting his price target to $400 and arguing Apple’s vast device base could deliver AI tools to about 20% of the world, adding up to $15 billion a year in high‑margin Services revenue and setting up a 2027 AI‑centric iPhone “super‑cycle.” Shares rose as Apple moved to ease chip shortages by striking a preliminary manufacturing deal with Intel and exploring new foundry partners, though the broader Street stays more cautious with a Moderate Buy rating and consensus targets implying only high‑single‑digit upside.
- Microsoft is facing a clash between bullish analysts and wary hedge funds: Wall Street maintains a Strong Buy rating and sees more than 34% upside as Azure and AI revenues surge, yet prominent investor Chris Hohn slashed TCI’s $8 billion stake on fears that new AI platforms could erode the dominance of Office and cloud services. The stock slipped as Microsoft acknowledged Windows 11 still leans on 1990s Win32 “bedrock” code and as ownership data showed more than half the float in public and retail hands, leaving shares highly sensitive to sentiment shifts even as many investors still view it as one of the most compelling long‑term AI plays.
