‘Time to Strike,' Says Investor About Nvidia Stock

‘Time to Strike,' Says Investor About Nvidia Stock

Globe and Mail06-05-2025

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has faced a challenging landscape in 2025, navigating a mix of uncertainties. Export restrictions have complicated its business in China, and broader concerns about the pace of capex investments by hyperscalers have added a layer of caution to the growth narrative that once seemed unstoppable.

Still, not everyone is hitting the panic button. Despite a nearly 15% year-to-date slide, investor Bohdan Kucheriavyi argues that the risks are overblown – and there are blue skies aplenty for Nvidia up ahead.
'I'm still confident in the company's ability to create additional shareholder value over the following years,' asserts the 5-star investor.
That's not to say that Kucheriavyi is dismissive of the very real risks of decreasing capex spending by the hyperscalers – far from it. The investor notes the recent reports that Microsoft and Amazon have been walking away from data center leases, a move that could signal cooling demand for Nvidia's chips. But in the same breath, he highlights evidence pointing in the opposite direction: AI spending among hyperscalers is still on track to hit $300 billion this year. Strong results from TSMC and even AI momentum at beleaguered Intel hint that the appetite for AI infrastructure isn't fading.
Meanwhile, Nvidia is actively adapting to geopolitical headwinds. The company is shifting key production of its next-gen Blackwell chips to TSMC's Arizona facility. By localizing production, Nvidia aims to mitigate risks associated with geopolitical tensions, such as potential tariffs and export restrictions, and to better meet the growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers.
'This should help the company be less exposed to any geopolitical and tariff-related risks, which is a major upside in the current environment,' adds Kucheriavyi.
The investor also acknowledges the added difficulties the company will face in the Chinese market in the years ahead, as trade restrictions will give domestic competitors such as Huawei a pronounced leg up over the American firm.
Even so, a 10% sales hit tied to China-related disruptions hasn't shaken his conviction. In his view, Nvidia remains undervalued – and the long-term upside is still very much intact.
'Nvidia's upside remains significant, even if we take into account the loss of China-related revenues this year,' concludes Kucheriavyi, who rates NVDA stock a Buy. (To watch Kucheriavyi's track record, click here)
Wall Street needs no additional convincing. With 34 Buys, 5 Holds and a single Sell, NVDA enjoys a Strong Buy consensus rating. Its 12-month average price target of $164.23 implies a ~43% upside for the year ahead. (See NVDA stock forecast)

Why Intel Stock Sank Today

Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) stock saw a day of big sell-offs in Wednesday's daily session. The chip company's share price closed out the day down 6.3% due to concerns that competitive pressures are mounting. Intel's valuation sank today following news about a product that Nvidia is readying that could compete with Intel in the central processing unit (CPU) space. Meanwhile, another report suggested that Advanced Micro Devices will continue gaining market share from Intel in the server CPU market. Is Intel's outlook in the CPU market about to get much worse? According to recent leaks, Nvidia is gearing up to launch two accelerated processing unites (APUs) for the consumer market that would combine a CPU and a graphics processing unit (GPU) into single products. Based on some limited perimeters, some leaked benchmark scores for the more advanced of Nvidia's rumored APUs point to performance that tops a comparable offering from Intel. Real-world performance may be more favorable in Intel in many situations, but moves from Nvidia to play a bigger role in the CPU space could still create significant competitive pressures. Making matters worse, a new report from Mercury Research suggests that AMD has continued to rapidly increase its market share in the server CPU space. According to Mercury's report, AMD managed to capture 40% of the CPU market for servers in this year's first quarter -- and it's poised to match Intel in market share sometime next year. What's next for Intel? Intel's path forward looks complicated. The company has missed out on the early growth market for artificial intelligence (AI) GPUs, and it's facing pressure in both the consumer and enterprise CPU markets. While the company's chip foundry unit has the potential to be an important national resource for the U.S., it remains to be seen whether its next-gen semiconductor fabrication platform will actually attract substantial interest from third parties seeking manufacturing services for their AI chip designs. Intel stock could surge if there are signs that its turnaround strategy is yielding results, but there's a lot of uncertainty on the table right now. Should you invest $1,000 in Intel right now?

Why Rigetti Computing Stock Is Skyrocketing Today

Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) stock is roaring higher in Wednesday's trading thanks to multiple positive catalysts. The quantum computing specialist's share price was up 10.9% as of 3:30 p.m. ET. Shares had been up as much as 20.6% earlier in the daily session. Rigetti's valuation is getting a huge boost today after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made comments suggesting that quantum computing technologies could be ready to take off. The stock is also getting a lift from better-than-expected inflation data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) today. Nvidia's Jensen Huang suggests quantum computing could be ready to take off Nvidia kicked off its GTC Paris developers conference this morning, and CEO Jensen Huang had some promising things to say about the trajectory of quantum computing technologies. "Quantum computing is reaching an inflection point," Huang said in his keynote speech for the conference this morning. The CEO's comments kicked off another powerful rally for quantum computing stocks, and Rigetti's valuation has surged thanks to the catalyst. The latest inflation data looks like a bullish indicator for Rigetti stock The Bureau of Labor Statistics published May's consumer price index (CPI) inflation data this morning, and the results seem to bode well for Rigetti Computing stock. Core CPI, which is a measure for inflation that looks at prices for a combination of goods and excludes food and energy expenses, rose at a 2.8% annual rate last month. Core CPI inflation ticked up just 0.1% compared to April's figure. Meanwhile, economists had expected that annual inflation for core CPI would be up 2.9% and that monthly inflation would be up 0.2%. Core CPI came in cooler than expected, and this seemingly supports the notion that the Federal Reserve is seeing economic data that leaves the door open for an interest rate cut this year. If the Fed does deliver a rate cut, that would likely be a strong positive catalyst for Rigetti Computing and other speculative growth stocks. Should you invest $1,000 in Rigetti Computing right now?
