- Nvidia Corporation continues to capture the attention of investors due to its strong position in the AI chip market. Despite facing supply constraints for its new Blackwell GPUs, analysts are optimistic about Nvidia’s long-term growth, with the stock surging nearly 28% this year. However, the company’s recent Q2 earnings call showed only a modest 5% growth in Data Center revenue, falling short of Wall Street’s expectations. Analysts maintain a Strong Buy consensus rating, with a 12-month average price target suggesting a 23.16% upside potential, driven by Nvidia’s robust growth potential in AI-powered chips.
- Microsoft has been in the spotlight with CEO Satya Nadella selling $75.3 million worth of shares, leveraging the recent surge in share price. Despite this, analysts remain optimistic, with a strong buy consensus and a price target suggesting a 23% upside. Microsoft’s market cap has surpassed $3.7 trillion, driven by high demand for its AI products. The company is also making strategic moves to support AI education and has revived its Windows Mixed Reality headset, integrating it with SteamVR, which could enhance its gaming segment.
- Apple Inc has achieved significant growth in India, with annual sales reaching nearly $9 billion, marking a 13% increase. This growth is driven by strong demand for iPhones and MacBooks, alongside an expansion of its retail network in India. Despite these positive developments, Apple stock has faced challenges, with a year-to-date decline of nearly 3.9%. Recent insider trading activity has raised questions about insider sentiment, but the upcoming iPhone 17 launch event could serve as a catalyst for the stock, with analysts optimistic about the potential for revenue growth driven by AI integration and pricing strategies.
