Because officials have signaled greater confidence that they can make multiple rate cuts over the next several months, they are confronting questions over whether to cut by a traditional 0.25 percentage point or by a larger 0.5 point.</p><p>Powell kept all his options on the table in a speech last month in Jackson Hole, Wyo., that surprised some of his colleagues with its unambiguous call to turn attention to incipient risks in the jobs market. “The direction of travel is clear, and the timing and pace of rate cuts will depend on incoming data, the evolving outlook and the balance of risks,” he said then.</p><p>Officials last year raised their benchmark rate to around 5.3%, a two-decade high, and will have held it at that level for the last 14 months to combat inflation, which has declined notably. </p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/856ee4109fb2bbde2206950823e7025b\" alt=\"Several analysts said firmer housing costs in the consumer-price index report Wednesday weakened the case to push through a larger cut next week.\" title=\"Several analysts said firmer housing costs in the consumer-price index report Wednesday weakened the case to push through a larger cut next week.\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\"/><span>Several analysts said firmer housing costs in the consumer-price index report Wednesday weakened the case to push through a larger cut next week.</span></p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">They are nervous about keeping interest rates too high for too long amid evidence that higher borrowing costs are working as intended to slow inflation by cooling spending, investment and hiring. They don’t want to let slip through their grasp a soft landing, in which inflation falls without a serious jump in joblessness. </p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Answers to the tactical question over how fast to go could reveal clues about the Fed’s broader strategy. The amount of cuts over the next few months “is going to be a lot more important than whether the first move is 25 or 50, which I think is a close call,” said Jon Faust, who served until earlier this year as a senior adviser to Powell.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Recent economic data have been mixed. Several analysts said firmer housing costs in the consumer-price index report Wednesday weakened the case to push through a larger cut next week, sending market expectations of a smaller cut to around 85%, according to CME Group. But a separate report Thursday signaled that underlying prices in the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge were likely to have been considerably milder in August, keeping the door open for the Fed to focus on preventing labor-market softening.</p><p>Meanwhile, hiring in June and July was weaker than initially reported, but payroll growth improved in August. Layoffs have been low. Claims for jobless benefits last week stood at roughly the same low level of one year ago, the Labor Department said Thursday.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a29affe7b94909e2e3a7195ed518053e\" tg-width=\"953\" tg-height=\"704\"/></p><p>Quarterly economic projections to be released at next week’s meeting could further complicate matters. Those projections will show how many rate cuts officials expect this year. The Fed has three meetings remaining this year: next week, and in November and December.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Those projections aren’t the product of a committee debate but could be as important to investors as the size of the rate reduction, especially if officials opt for the smaller cut. Because markets expect the Fed to cut rates by more than 100 basis points this year, projections that show fewer cuts risk a market pullback that tightens financial conditions, sending up borrowing costs at the very moment the Fed is reducing short-term rates.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">The Fed normally prefers to move in increments of 0.25 point, or 25 basis points, because smaller adjustments give them more time to study the effect of their policy changes. Some officials have suggested they would rather speed up the pace once the economy looks like it is weakening further.</p><p>Alternatively, officials could conclude that if they expect a 50-basis-point move is likely in November or December, they ought to make that move now, when rates are farthest from their ultimate destination.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c1b79c953091ecda04fb3d65de1a5166\" tg-width=\"967\" tg-height=\"706\"/></p><p>The case for starting smaller presumes the economy is fundamentally fine, according to current and former officials. They say starting with a 50-basis-point cut could communicate greater alarm about the economy or lead markets to anticipate a faster pace of rate cuts, which in turn might ignite market rallies that make it harder to finish the inflation fight.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">A related worry: A larger cut would lead markets to mistakenly assume the Fed plans to cut rates by the same amount at meetings in November and December.

The company&#39;s capital return strategy, including a large share buyback authorization of $110 billion and a systematic dividend increase (recently by 4% to $0.25 per share), is helping to create shareholder value and a valuation premium.

I also left other driving assumptions on their default mode, which reflects long-term averages. Here&#39;s what I get for my operations model:</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/06ad3c2e1f9d4ba9c93d1f8bfeebfcea\" alt=\"FinChat, author&#39;s notes\" title=\"FinChat, author&#39;s notes\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"228\"/><span>FinChat, author&#39;s notes</span></p><p>Assuming a cost of debt of 4% (with a risk-free rate of 3.5%, so the spread is minimal in this case), I also assume an MRP of 5%, as I normally do when valuing any business. As a result, I get a WACC of 9.5%, which seems to me to be an appropriate discount rate under today&#39;s conditions.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a98ca348f2092a6cb1250b91d9c7e8ab\" alt=\"FinChat, author&#39;s notes\" title=\"FinChat, author&#39;s notes\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"164\"/><span>FinChat, author&#39;s notes</span></p><p>AAPL is currently trading at an EV/FCF of about 32.45x, which is more than 65% above its 10-year average. I expect this multiple to fall to 30x at least by the end of FY2028, kind of mean-reverting.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/c9316f85f29614ddfe87690200ec56bb\" alt=\"Data by YCharts\" title=\"Data by YCharts\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"424\"/><span>Data by YCharts</span></p><p>Taking all these factors into account, I arrive at a fair value of AAPL stock, which limits its intrinsic growth potential in light of all my optimistic assumptions.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/ff0d780eb171ebe1b464f83f29c9cb94\" alt=\"FinChat, author&#39;s notes\" title=\"FinChat, author&#39;s notes\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"146\"/><span>FinChat, author&#39;s notes</span></p><h2 id=\"id_3507332348\">The Verdict</h2><p>As Morningstar analyst William Kerwin recently noted (proprietary source), Apple is a differentiated consumer technology provider with tight integration between its hardware and software driving a wide economic moat. Indeed, I can&#39;t argue with this statement. I like how management has adeptly addressed weaknesses in certain regions, such as China, by leveraging strengths in other regions, like the Americas and Europe. Additionally, the increasing share of services revenue is noteworthy, as it&#39;s likely to continue growing and reducing reliance on hardware sales. This shift is beneficial in terms of gaining at least partial independence from market cyclicality.</p><p>The recently unveiled new Apple Intelligence features have created a wave of interest among investors and users, but it&#39;s not yet clear how this will affect upgrades and prospective sales figures. We will have to wait for the pre-order data (lead time) to tell what extent this will be a game-changer for AAPL. But the stagnant momentum in postpaid upgrade rates looks kind of scary.</p><p>Today&#39;s DCF valuation model of mine suggests that even if we add a meaningful premium to Apple&#39;s consensus revenue figures and margins, the stock would turn out to be at best fairly valued.</p><p>The lack of a strong overvaluation prevents me from confirming my previous &#34;Sell&#34; rating this time, but I also see no reason to raise the rating to &#34;Buy&#34;.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

I know that many are skeptical about the DCF method, but in my opinion, no better method has been invented yet.I will deliberately take the consensus proposed today as a basis, even if I consider the forecast EPS growth rate of almost 25% in FY2026 to be too optimistic - and this forecast is based on only one opinion, according to Seeking Alpha Premium data.Seeking Alpha Premium data, notes addedSeeking Alpha Premium data, notes addedBe that as it may, I added a generous premium to each forecast year sales figure and left the forecast EBIT margin above 32% for the period 2026-2028. I also left other driving assumptions on their default mode, which reflects long-term averages. Here's what I get for my operations model:FinChat, author's notesAssuming a cost of debt of 4% (with a risk-free rate of 3.5%, so the spread is minimal in this case), I also assume an MRP of 5%, as I normally do when valuing any business. As a result, I get a WACC of 9.5%, which seems to me to be an appropriate discount rate under today's conditions.FinChat, author's notesAAPL is currently trading at an EV/FCF of about 32.45x, which is more than 65% above its 10-year average. I expect this multiple to fall to 30x at least by the end of FY2028, kind of mean-reverting.Data by YChartsTaking all these factors into account, I arrive at a fair value of AAPL stock, which limits its intrinsic growth potential in light of all my optimistic assumptions.FinChat, author's notesThe VerdictAs Morningstar analyst William Kerwin recently noted (proprietary source), Apple is a differentiated consumer technology provider with tight integration between its hardware and software driving a wide economic moat. Indeed, I can't argue with this statement. I like how management has adeptly addressed weaknesses in certain regions, such as China, by leveraging strengths in other regions, like the Americas and Europe. Additionally, the increasing share of services revenue is noteworthy, as it's likely to continue growing and reducing reliance on hardware sales. This shift is beneficial in terms of gaining at least partial independence from market cyclicality.The recently unveiled new Apple Intelligence features have created a wave of interest among investors and users, but it's not yet clear how this will affect upgrades and prospective sales figures. We will have to wait for the pre-order data (lead time) to tell what extent this will be a game-changer for AAPL. But the stagnant momentum in postpaid upgrade rates looks kind of scary.Today's DCF valuation model of mine suggests that even if we add a meaningful premium to Apple's consensus revenue figures and margins, the stock would turn out to be at best fairly valued.The lack of a strong overvaluation prevents me from confirming my previous \"Sell\" rating this time, but I also see no reason to raise the rating to \"Buy\".","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":9,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":316888185290792,"gmtCreate":1718404320866,"gmtModify":1718404324683,"author":{"id":"4100655058123160","authorId":"4100655058123160","authorIdStr":"4100655058123160","name":"teegem63","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac15943f10bad1c2c0ec91d5d8a2bd22","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100655058123160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"If he can steer the company forward then ok for his compensation package.","listText":"If he can steer the company forward then ok for his compensation package.","text":"If he can steer the company forward then ok for his compensation package.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/316888185290792","repostId":"1185162006","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1185162006","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Stock Market Quotes, Business News, Financial News, Trading Ideas, and Stock Research by Professionals","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Benzinga","id":"1052270027","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d08bf7808052c0ca9deb4e944cae32aa"},"pubTimestamp":1718335800,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1185162006?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-06-14 11:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dan Ives Calls It A \"Monumental Day\" For Tesla, Predicts Trillion Dollar Market Cap","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1185162006","media":"Benzinga","summary":"After Tesla Inc.‘s recent annual shareholder meeting, critical investor Ross Gerber acknowledged Elon Musk‘s leadership, while analystDan Ivespredicted a trillion-dollar market cap for the EV maker.Wh","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>After <strong>Tesla Inc.</strong>‘s recent annual shareholder meeting, critical investor <strong>Ross Gerber </strong>acknowledged <strong>Elon Musk</strong>‘s leadership, while analyst<strong>Dan Ives</strong>predicted a trillion-dollar market cap for the EV maker.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>What Happened</strong>: “I think it was also like a referendum on his management in his mind … I love to see Elon running Tesla again,” said Gerber, CEO of <strong>Gerber Kawasaki Wealth</strong>, on CNBC’s Last Call.

Undoubtedly, Nvidia’s blistering triple-digit sales growth puts the GPU kingpin on another planet.</p><p>This initial artificial intelligence (<strong>AI</strong>) accelerator gold rush will cool down. And when it does, questions linger about the kind of sustained growth rate that Nvidia will settle into.

As interest rates begin to fall, perhaps more discretionary income in consumers’ pockets will give way to a splurge on new devices.</p><p>If anything, the latest iPhones, iPads and Macs are not discretionary goods anymore, not when they can run Apple Intelligence using Apple’s hybrid approach to AI computing.</p><p>Additionally, some notable bulls are out following Apple’s big WWDC day, including Deepwater Asset Management’s Gene Munster.

Now, the stock is sitting at just south of $3.3 trillion. The road to $4 trillion may be less traveled for Microsoft at current levels. Yet, it would be a mistake to discount the potential for Nvidia or Apple to make a second-half sprint to such a finish line.</p><p>In any case, some smart analysts see Microsoft rising to a valuation of $4 trillion, thanks in part to its drivers that span well beyond generative AI.</p><p>Most notably, the Azure cloud business, which stands to benefit from greater AI usage as a whole, could be next in line to excite. Pierre Ferragu of NewStreet Research thinks a $4 trillion valuation makes sense as Microsoft seeks “achieving the Nirvana of execution.” That entails “higher profitability” and “rapid and steady market share gains.”</p><p>Truly, fast and steady may ultimately win the market cap race. And MSFT stock has the best shot at rallying enough to mint Microsoft as the first to break a $4 trillion valuation.

At around $3.2 trillion, it will take a surge of just over 25% to hit the level.</p><p>NVDA stock has rallied more than 35% in just the past month. If AI enthusiasm continues, Nvidia could be flirting with $4 trillion in a matter of weeks. Of course, just how much exciting news can flow in for the summer when we’ve already had so much to admire in the first half?</p><p>Already, Nvidia is thinking years ahead with its Rubin platform for 2026. It’s not just the GPU that has investors’ attention. It’s the next-generation Vera chip built on the Rubin platform that could capture the world by storm.</p><p>There’s only one problem with the Rubin news.

But soon, one of tech’s high flyers may hit $4 trillion.Apple: Deepwater’s Gene Munster said Apple had its biggest day since 2007. Microsoft: It’s my top pick to hit the $4 trillion valuation first. Nvidia: The announcement of Rubin may be fuel for the euphoric rally.Source: Serhii Milekhin / Shutterstock.comThe race to $4 trillion is on. Microsoft, and Nvidia are members of the $3 trillion club, while Apple has just returned to the club.So, which technology behemoth can adapt to keep growth rates elevated enough to keep the good times going? Undoubtedly, Nvidia’s blistering triple-digit sales growth puts the GPU kingpin on another planet.This initial artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator gold rush will cool down. And when it does, questions linger about the kind of sustained growth rate that Nvidia will settle into. If there is a downturn in the future, it will be almost impossible to time.While triple-digit growth is simply unsustainable, perhaps Nvidia has a few more upside surprises in store for those holding on at today’s meteoric highs.After all, many analysts have been guilty of underestimating the company in the past three years. Whether they’re continuing to underestimate the magnitude of the boom remains the $4 trillion question.Apple (AAPL)Source: Moab Republic / ShutterstockHow could Apple be the first to hit a $4 trillion valuation after it reigned again as most valuable U.S. company for first time since January?Though many consider Apple to be an underdog in the race to $4 trillion, the worst of the company’s iPhone sales hiccups may have already passed. As interest rates begin to fall, perhaps more discretionary income in consumers’ pockets will give way to a splurge on new devices.If anything, the latest iPhones, iPads and Macs are not discretionary goods anymore, not when they can run Apple Intelligence using Apple’s hybrid approach to AI computing.Additionally, some notable bulls are out following Apple’s big WWDC day, including Deepwater Asset Management’s Gene Munster. Recently, the latter sat down with CNBC to share his thoughts. He thought the first day of WWDC 2024 (June 10) was the biggest day for Apple since 2007, the day Apple unveiled the first iPhone.If Munster is right, Apple could find itself at a $4 trillion market cap. That’s just a 22% rally for AAPL stock from here, which is totally attainable given the soft year-to-date (YTD) rally of just 11%.Microsoft (MSFT)Source: Ascannio / Shutterstock.comMicrosoft is one of technically the closest to hitting that $4 trillion market cap mark. Now, the stock is sitting at just south of $3.3 trillion. The road to $4 trillion may be less traveled for Microsoft at current levels. Yet, it would be a mistake to discount the potential for Nvidia or Apple to make a second-half sprint to such a finish line.In any case, some smart analysts see Microsoft rising to a valuation of $4 trillion, thanks in part to its drivers that span well beyond generative AI.Most notably, the Azure cloud business, which stands to benefit from greater AI usage as a whole, could be next in line to excite. Pierre Ferragu of NewStreet Research thinks a $4 trillion valuation makes sense as Microsoft seeks “achieving the Nirvana of execution.” That entails “higher profitability” and “rapid and steady market share gains.”Truly, fast and steady may ultimately win the market cap race. And MSFT stock has the best shot at rallying enough to mint Microsoft as the first to break a $4 trillion valuation. A gain of around 22% from Thursday’s close will do it.Nvidia (NVDA)Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.comNvidia is probably the favorite pick for many to hit the $4 trillion valuation level first. At around $3.2 trillion, it will take a surge of just over 25% to hit the level.NVDA stock has rallied more than 35% in just the past month. If AI enthusiasm continues, Nvidia could be flirting with $4 trillion in a matter of weeks. Of course, just how much exciting news can flow in for the summer when we’ve already had so much to admire in the first half?Already, Nvidia is thinking years ahead with its Rubin platform for 2026. It’s not just the GPU that has investors’ attention. It’s the next-generation Vera chip built on the Rubin platform that could capture the world by storm.There’s only one problem with the Rubin news. It’s likely already (mostly) baked in, and we’re going to have to wait more than a year and a half before the chip launches. That’s a long wait. And NVDA stock could certainly consolidate until Rubin launches.Finally, Rubin’s hype may bring forward a bit of excitement and upside this year, perhaps taking away from NVDA stock’s future performance. Whether it’s enough to sustain a 2024 push to a $4 trillion market cap remains to be seen.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":93,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":284070661763272,"gmtCreate":1710369222552,"gmtModify":1710369227548,"author":{"id":"4100655058123160","authorId":"4100655058123160","authorIdStr":"4100655058123160","name":"teegem63","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac15943f10bad1c2c0ec91d5d8a2bd22","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100655058123160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sounds good!&nbsp;","listText":"Sounds good!&nbsp;","text":"Sounds good!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/284070661763272","repostId":"2419065435","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2419065435","pubTimestamp":1710342197,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2419065435?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-03-13 23:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nvidia’s Dip Buying Guide: 3 Reasons to Scoop Up NVDA Stock on Any Weakness","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2419065435","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"Nvidia's shares may be entering sell-off territory, but investors are better off buying the dip on NVDA stock.","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><p>Semiconductor solutions for artificial intelligence applications will continue to be in high demand globally, and <strong>Nvidia</strong> (<strong><u>NVDA</u></strong>) will remain a market leader.</p></li><li><p>The chipmaker maintains a resounding “Strong Buy” rating from Wall Street analysts, and NVDA’s target can increase as the company continues its AI success.</p></li><li><p> Nvidia’s valuation remains at a 12-month low, and if the stock dips, it’s even more of a reason to buy the dip.</p></li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/0763c6dc102df6afd35e2ebf0ba5384f\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\"/></p><p>Source: Ascannio / Shutterstock.com</p><p><strong>Nvidia</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>NVDA</u></strong>) did not end Friday’s trading session on a good note. The acclaimed chipmaker’s share price dropped more than 5%, causing investors to wonder if this is the end of Nvidia’s jaw-breaking rally. Last year, the company’s share returned a staggering gain of 240% last year, and Nvidia’s Q4 earnings report beat Wall Street’s expectations. Currently, the shares of NVDA stock have risen nearly 60% on a year-to-date basis.</p><p>Despite predictions of a sustained Nvidia sell-off in the coming days, I believe investors should not only hold on to their shares but add more to their portfolio once the stock dips.</p><p>Below are three reasons to buy the dip on NVDA shares.</p><h2 id=\"id_3970117277\">Artificial Intelligence solutions remain in high demand</h2><p>Nvidia dominates in both gaming GPUs and AI chips. In fact, the chipmaker dominates about 81% of the market for AI chips used in personal computers and data centers. Moreover, Nvidia’s TensorRT software enables fast and efficient inference of AI models on edge devices. The chipmaker has effectively tackled and consolidated this new market in an unprecedented manner, and the only chipmaker likely to begin to rival it in the near future will be <strong>Advanced Micro Devices</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong>AMD</strong>), which plans to sell billions worth of AI chips in 2024.</p><p>Even when AMD begins selling AI chips, NVDA will keep its stronghold on the AI market for the foreseeable future, until its competitor ramps up significant sells.</p><h2 id=\"id_3593825314\">Wall Street continues to be happy with NVDA</h2><p>Wall Street analysts are excited about Nvidia’s prospects. The company has an overwhelming “Strong Buy” rating from analysts. Out of the 55 analysts covering Nvidia, 50 rate the stock as a “Buy” or “Strong Buy,” while 5 analysts have maintained a “Hold” rating.</p><p>Nvidia’s success in the AI market of course have created a lot of optimism. And it’s not just Western markets either. Despite a lack of access to China’s huge market, NVDA stock has made significant strides to sell AI chips to India-based companies and other companies based out of East Asia.</p><p>These are just some of the reasons for Wall Street analysts to remain bullish on NVDA, despite the company encroaching upon its 12-month average price target.</p><h2 id=\"id_2445939085\">Valuation is trading at a good spot</h2><p>Nvidia’s share price has been trading at a record high. However, the chipmaker’s forward P/E ratio is still well below where it was 12 months ago. Then, the stock was trading at over 52.1x forward earnings.</p><p>With its recent rally, which has caused shares to appreciate more than 76%, the chipmaker’s stock now trades for just 35.6x forward earnings. This puts Nvidia’s earnings multiple below that of its key competitor, <strong>Advanced Micro Devices</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>AMD</u></strong>), and right around where <strong>Intel</strong> (NASDAQ:<strong><u>INTC</u></strong>) is trading. Moreover, a company like <strong>Palantir</strong> (NYSE:<strong>PLTR</strong>), which has seen its share price skyrocket over AI hype, is trading at 79.8x forward earnings, despite its AI platform still being in the pilot phase.</p><p>That’s all to say, despite the valuation of NVDA stock looking expensive in certain regards, it is much less than where it was 12 months ago. Also, if the stock continues to dip, investors should see it as an opportunity to buy at a cheaper valuation.</p></body></html>","source":"investorplace_stock_picks","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The acclaimed chipmaker’s share price dropped more than 5%, causing investors to wonder if this is the end of Nvidia’s jaw-breaking rally. Last year, the company’s share returned a staggering gain of 240% last year, and Nvidia’s Q4 earnings report beat Wall Street’s expectations. Currently, the shares of NVDA stock have risen nearly 60% on a year-to-date basis.Despite predictions of a sustained Nvidia sell-off in the coming days, I believe investors should not only hold on to their shares but add more to their portfolio once the stock dips.Below are three reasons to buy the dip on NVDA shares.Artificial Intelligence solutions remain in high demandNvidia dominates in both gaming GPUs and AI chips. In fact, the chipmaker dominates about 81% of the market for AI chips used in personal computers and data centers. Moreover, Nvidia’s TensorRT software enables fast and efficient inference of AI models on edge devices. The chipmaker has effectively tackled and consolidated this new market in an unprecedented manner, and the only chipmaker likely to begin to rival it in the near future will be Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), which plans to sell billions worth of AI chips in 2024.Even when AMD begins selling AI chips, NVDA will keep its stronghold on the AI market for the foreseeable future, until its competitor ramps up significant sells.Wall Street continues to be happy with NVDAWall Street analysts are excited about Nvidia’s prospects. The company has an overwhelming “Strong Buy” rating from analysts. Out of the 55 analysts covering Nvidia, 50 rate the stock as a “Buy” or “Strong Buy,” while 5 analysts have maintained a “Hold” rating.Nvidia’s success in the AI market of course have created a lot of optimism. And it’s not just Western markets either. Despite a lack of access to China’s huge market, NVDA stock has made significant strides to sell AI chips to India-based companies and other companies based out of East Asia.These are just some of the reasons for Wall Street analysts to remain bullish on NVDA, despite the company encroaching upon its 12-month average price target.Valuation is trading at a good spotNvidia’s share price has been trading at a record high. However, the chipmaker’s forward P/E ratio is still well below where it was 12 months ago. Then, the stock was trading at over 52.1x forward earnings.With its recent rally, which has caused shares to appreciate more than 76%, the chipmaker’s stock now trades for just 35.6x forward earnings. This puts Nvidia’s earnings multiple below that of its key competitor, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), and right around where Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) is trading. Moreover, a company like Palantir (NYSE:PLTR), which has seen its share price skyrocket over AI hype, is trading at 79.8x forward earnings, despite its AI platform still being in the pilot phase.That’s all to say, despite the valuation of NVDA stock looking expensive in certain regards, it is much less than where it was 12 months ago. Also, if the stock continues to dip, investors should see it as an opportunity to buy at a cheaper valuation.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":141,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":259301734965344,"gmtCreate":1704318677318,"gmtModify":1704318681693,"author":{"id":"4100655058123160","authorId":"4100655058123160","authorIdStr":"4100655058123160","name":"teegem63","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac15943f10bad1c2c0ec91d5d8a2bd22","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100655058123160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Seems it's just standard message","listText":"Seems it's just standard message","text":"Seems it's just standard message","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/259301734965344","repostId":"1116291620","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":241,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":349119880151288,"gmtCreate":1726264607644,"gmtModify":1726264613072,"author":{"id":"4100655058123160","authorId":"4100655058123160","authorIdStr":"4100655058123160","name":"teegem63","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac15943f10bad1c2c0ec91d5d8a2bd22","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100655058123160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Well researched n easy to understand.

Because officials have signaled greater confidence that they can make multiple rate cuts over the next several months, they are confronting questions over whether to cut by a traditional 0.25 percentage point or by a larger 0.5 point.</p><p>Powell kept all his options on the table in a speech last month in Jackson Hole, Wyo., that surprised some of his colleagues with its unambiguous call to turn attention to incipient risks in the jobs market. “The direction of travel is clear, and the timing and pace of rate cuts will depend on incoming data, the evolving outlook and the balance of risks,” he said then.</p><p>Officials last year raised their benchmark rate to around 5.3%, a two-decade high, and will have held it at that level for the last 14 months to combat inflation, which has declined notably. </p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/856ee4109fb2bbde2206950823e7025b\" alt=\"Several analysts said firmer housing costs in the consumer-price index report Wednesday weakened the case to push through a larger cut next week.\" title=\"Several analysts said firmer housing costs in the consumer-price index report Wednesday weakened the case to push through a larger cut next week.\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\"/><span>Several analysts said firmer housing costs in the consumer-price index report Wednesday weakened the case to push through a larger cut next week.</span></p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">They are nervous about keeping interest rates too high for too long amid evidence that higher borrowing costs are working as intended to slow inflation by cooling spending, investment and hiring. They don’t want to let slip through their grasp a soft landing, in which inflation falls without a serious jump in joblessness. </p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Answers to the tactical question over how fast to go could reveal clues about the Fed’s broader strategy. The amount of cuts over the next few months “is going to be a lot more important than whether the first move is 25 or 50, which I think is a close call,” said Jon Faust, who served until earlier this year as a senior adviser to Powell.</p><p style=\"text-align: start;\">Recent economic data have been mixed. Several analysts said firmer housing costs in the consumer-price index report Wednesday weakened the case to push through a larger cut next week, sending market expectations of a smaller cut to around 85%, according to CME Group. But a separate report Thursday signaled that underlying prices in the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge were likely to have been considerably milder in August, keeping the door open for the Fed to focus on preventing labor-market softening.</p><p>Meanwhile, hiring in June and July was weaker than initially reported, but payroll growth improved in August. Layoffs have been low. Claims for jobless benefits last week stood at roughly the same low level of one year ago, the Labor Department said Thursday.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/a29affe7b94909e2e3a7195ed518053e\" tg-width=\"953\" tg-height=\"704\"/></p><p>Quarterly economic projections to be released at next week’s meeting could further complicate matters. Those projections will show how many rate cuts officials expect this year.

Normally, when the unemployment rate rises by a little bit, it tends to continue rising—and by a lot.The housing market has been soft in recent months, and while the construction sector added jobs in August, declines in new residential construction point to another source of potential weakness ahead for hiring.Businesses and financial companies that cater to low- and middle-income consumers are pointing to signs of greater strain, and the personal savings rate fell to 2.9% in July, near its lowest level since 2007.While the economy has been growing at a reasonably solid pace this year, “we have supported this growth by doing less and less saving, and more and more borrowing. That’s not sustainable,” said Donald Kohn, a former Fed vice chair.“We are at a point where you might say, ‘I could go either way—25 or 50,’ but I think the risk management has shifted to the labor market and favors doing 50,” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":15,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":316887784616000,"gmtCreate":1718404223701,"gmtModify":1718404227922,"author":{"id":"4100655058123160","authorId":"4100655058123160","authorIdStr":"4100655058123160","name":"teegem63","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ac15943f10bad1c2c0ec91d5d8a2bd22","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100655058123160"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow likely'all three!","listText":"Wow likely'all three!","text":"Wow likely'all three!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/316887784616000","repostId":"2442536533","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2442536533","pubTimestamp":1718348400,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2442536533?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2024-06-14 15:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AAPL, MSFT, NVDA: Which Stock Is Most Likely to Hit $4 Trillion First?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2442536533","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"It may not take very long at all for the first company to reach the $4 trillion milestone mark as we approach the second half.","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul style=\"\"><li><p>The first $3 trillion market cap may have been hit recently.
