One minute you are breezily within the lead, the next someone dragging charges previous you because you failed a bend.
Nvidia’s presently as a result of awkward setting.
The irritating level for Nvidia â $” and its buyers â $” is that along with an investigation by a Chinese regulator, there hasn’t been any other major bumps on the road: In fact, the company’s fundamentals are stable.
As Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer at Truist, points out, Nvidia’s position in the semiconductor and artificial intelligence industry remains unchanged. “You need Nvidia, and you need their chips for infrastructure,” said Lerner. “But I think what the market’s also saying is that there are other beneficiaries beyond that.”
The fact that the Nasdaq Composite closed at another record despite Nvidia falling is a sign of that rotation into other semiconductor and AI-related stocks.
Most conspicuously, Broadcom shares have hammered the accelerator, surging forward on Friday and Monday on the back of a glowing fourth-quarter earnings report and increased price targets by banks.
“Momentum has been driving this stock. I don’t think momentum is going to kill it quite yet, but momentum does what momentum does, which is it seeks the higher flyer,” said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners.
The key difference between playing the stock market and Mario Kart is that the latter is a zero-sum game â you lose if your friend wins â but that’s not always the case with the former. You can own both Nvidia and Broadcom, and benefit regardless of the race’s leader.
