Chip stocks will regain momentum over AI demand: Analyst

The chip sector saw a brief recovery last week after a large sell-off, with Nvidia (NVDA) once again leading the charge. Looking forward, chip stocks look to regain momentum after August volatility, but can they capture their previous heights?
KeyBanc Capital Markets Equity Research Analyst John Vinh joins Morning Brief to give insight into the chip sector and how semiconductor stocks may perform as Big Tech leans harder into AI.
"I think if you look at the sell-off over the last several weeks related to the chip sector, maybe more specifically to Nvidia, I think one, you had some concerns about maybe hyper scaler CapEx [capital expenditures] getting to kind of peak levels, but I think those were largely addressed later when you had comments coming out from Microsoft (MSFT) that it's still seeing phenomenal demand on the AI front, and it's actually supply-constrained," Vinh says. "The second factor is there's some concerns out there that its next-generation Blackwell product could be delayed. I wouldn't find that too surprising."
In terms of how the stock may perform, Vinh believes Nvidia will "beat and raise, we don't think near-term demand is going to be an issue at all."
Nvidia is scheduled to report second quarter earnings on Wednesday, August 28.

Your video serves as a calming beacon, particularly when financial markets are in tumult. Your analysis offers a prudent course of action, fitting seamlessly with the current stage of the economic cycle. Nonetheless, one cannot overlook the expanding mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies since 2019, as well as the fervent discourse surrounding prospective Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Might these elements sustain the market in this particular cycle? Speculation abounds that we are on the verge of a significant market upswing, making this a moment of great import for any discerning investor. My own portfolio, enriched by 34 bitcoins in a mere seven-week interval, serves as a compelling testament to Aria Cookings financial wisdom.

AI stocks will dominate 2024 and beyond. Why I prefer NVIDIA is that they are better placed to maintain long term growth potential, and provide a platform for other AI companies. I know someone who has made more than 200% from NVIDIA. I'll also take these other recommendations you made.

I've always been optimistic about semiconductor stocks, and I'm certain that artificial intelligence will be a major trend in the future.

A Financial Planner told me Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. How can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings overtime?

All this NVDA100K or 25H bs sounds very scammy. Show me the evidence besides that website where they ask you for your money
