NVDA and PLTR

https://www.tipranks.com/news/nvidia-and-palantir-argus-top-analysts-choose-the-best-ai-stocks-to-buy


The top analyst goes on to put a Buy rating on NVDA shares, with a $150 price target that implies room for a one-year upside of 18.5%. (To watch Kelleher’s track record, click here)

Overall, NVDA has picked up no fewer than 40 analyst reviews recently, and the lopsided 37 to 3 split favoring Buys over Holds gives the stock its Strong Buy consensus rating. Yet, the average price target stands at $132.88, suggesting a modest 5% upside from current levels


PLTR

While Bonner’s outlook is optimistic, the broader consensus among analysts leans towards a Hold (i.e. Neutral) rating based on 6 Hold, 4 Sell, and 4 Buy recommendations. The average price target currently stands at $22.55, indicating a potential downside of ~5% from the current share price of $23.84. (See PLTR stock forecast)

Don't miss out on AMD

Best, still bound to grow based on AI growth projections. 

AMD's Instinct MI300 data center chips are a strong challenger to NVIDIA's AI dominance, offering competitive performance and memory capacity:

- The MI300X boasts over 150 billion transistors, 2.4 times the memory of NVIDIA's H100 GPU, and 1.6 times the memory bandwidth at 5.3 TB/s[1][2]. This allows the MI300X to deliver comparable AI training performance and significantly higher AI inferencing performance compared to the H100[1].

- AMD CEO Lisa Su expects the AI chip market to reach $400 billion or more by 2027[1]. Major tech companies like Meta, OpenAI, and Microsoft have announced they will use AMD's MI300 AI chip[1].

- However, NVIDIA has leapfrogged ahead of AMD in AI for now[4]. NVIDIA's H100 remains the market leader, and the company's CEO stated there is $1 trillion worth of installed data centers globally, with $250 billion in annual expenditures growing 20% per year[4].

- AMD redid its tests comparing the MI300X to the H100 using NVIDIA's optimized software and found the MI300X is still 1.3x faster on inferencing[2]. Using latency results, the MI300X is 1 second faster than the H100[2].

In summary, while AMD's MI300 chips offer impressive performance and memory capacity, NVIDIA's H100 remains the dominant AI chip currently. But there appears to be significant growth potential for both companies in this rapidly expanding market[4].

NVDA and MSFT: Two in a Pod

https://www.tradingview.com/chart/NVDA/j1cwONQD-NVDA-is-gaining-all-the-way-upto-160/

 If there are two stocks that really stand out winners in a 3 yr time window from here, its MSFT and NVDA hands down.


Apart from betting NVDA will be 160 in short order and MSFT breaching 500, what do you think these stocks will gain in value by 2026

By 2028, NVDA may even split again

Start parking your lots in both.

Companies with supply demand issues like NVDA

 Several companies are facing supply constraints and struggling to keep up with demand for their products, similar to Nvidia's situation in the AI/data center market:


Nvidia itself is grappling with overwhelming demand for its AI chips and data center products that is outpacing its ability to increase supply quickly enough[5]. The company expects this supply-demand imbalance to continue in the near term.


Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is another semiconductor company that has seen demand for its chips, especially data center CPUs and GPUs, exceed supply[2]. AMD is working to ramp up production to meet this demand.


In the networking space, companies like Arista Networks and Broadcom are benefiting from strong demand for high-speed Ethernet solutions needed for AI/data center workloads, as an alternative to Nvidia's InfiniBand offerings[3]. However, they may also face constraints in scaling supply.


Outside of semiconductors, electric vehicle makers like Tesla have faced production bottlenecks and struggled to increase manufacturing output fast enough to satisfy high consumer demand for their vehicles[1].


The supply chain challenges and inability to quickly boost production capacity to match escalating demand is a common issue faced by many companies across various sectors that are experiencing rapid growth driven by new technologies or product categories[4][5]. Careful supply chain management and capital investments in new manufacturing capacity are critical to alleviating these constraints.

Do add orcl to the list btw
