☆ Morgan Stanley loves these 5 global A.I. chip stocks that could take Nvidia's market share
  + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( Ganesh Rao | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Nvidia , a dominant player in the artificial intelligence computing market, may face increasing competition from custom chip designers in the near future, according to Morgan Stanley. "We therefore expect to see increasingly energy-efficient and low-cost AI custom chip designs ahead, matching or even outpacing the growth of NVIDIA's and AMD's general purpose GPUs." Morgan Stanley is "overweight" on the five stocks, and increased their price targets in the June 11 note. As one of the few pure-play leading-edge design service houses, we believe Alchip (along with GUC) is a key enabler of future custom A.I. Global Unichip The chip designer has been awarded a contract from Microsoft to work on its new 5nm custom AI chip, which could be deployed across the U.S. company's cloud computing products.

☆ What comes next for ESG funds after the political backlash
  + stars: | 2023-05-29 | by ( Jesse Pound | In Jesse-Pound | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Surging energy stocks in 2022 hurt the performance of many of the largest funds, and political backlash has gained traction with several states moving to block state funds from being invested in ESG products. According to AllianceBernstein, there were $12.1 billion of outflows from ESG funds in North America during the first quarter, although that was due to large outflows from a handful of funds. "This was primarily driven by redemptions from a few large passive ESG funds (e.g., iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF ) due to underlying investors rebalancing their factor exposure. Clearly the political backlash against ESG also weighed on sentiment and demand for ESG products in North America," AllianceBernstein's Zhihan Ma said in an early May note to clients. There were $2.7 billion of inflows into ESG funds in Western Europe during the first quarter, according to Bernstein.
