Nvidia Stock and Major Fundamentals
The positive returns despite the market crisis can be attributed to the fact that the company has experienced an increased demand for its chips in the gaming industry and other tech-related companies.
Notably, the company’s GPUs are used in deep learning, artificial intelligence, and accelerated analytics. The company’s chips are used by huge tech companies like Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) in self-driving vehicles among other sophisticated industries.
With the global demand leaning towards artificial intelligence, investors are willing to put in their capital in Nvidia stock for future returns.
Notably, 38 credible Wall Street analysts have given Nvidia stock an average of ‘Over’ rating. This is a strong indicator the company has convinced investors and analysts that the future is strongly inclined towards its success.
For future purposes, Nvidia announced a three-year plan that includes both the new BlueField-2 DPUs (data processing units) and DOCA programmable data-center “infrastructure on a chip” architecture. The firm has a number of deals in place involving either AI for software partnerships or cloud support with the likes of VMware Inc (NYSE: VMW), IBM (NYSE: IBM), and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT).
In addition, the firm is also launching an AI platform “Maxine” that improves video conferencing streaming quality featuring super high resolution, noise cancellation, and face “relighting.” Avaya Holdings Corp (NYSE: AVYA) is already planning to integrate “Maxine” into its video collaboration app.
Stephanie Link and Josh Brown discussed more on CNBC’s “Fast Money Halftime Report”, whereby they are positive the stocks will rise in the near future.
According to Link, Nvidia has a vantage point over its competitors since it has the capability to deliver quality and to meet the market demand.
“The differentiator at Nvidia is its software platform and platform’s scale,” Link said.
