☆ This could be the next major bullish catalyst for AI darling Nvidia
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-08 | by ( Samantha Subin | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

A new chip from Nvidia could prove the next major catalyst for the artificial intelligence darling in 2024, according to Wall Street analysts. Even so, Wall Street remains bullish on the chipmaker, with about 85% of analysts holding a buy rating on the stock, and the average price target implying 43% upside from Friday's close. While the launch of the next-generation chip known as Blackwell isn't expected until 2024, Wall Street analysts are already bracing for the debut to drive significant growth at Nvidia, which already dominates the AI market. The chip is also slated to carry a higher average selling price and better performance than Nvidia's current H100 model. Piper Sandler's Harsh Kumar called the product the "next-gen compute GPU product" for AI and high performance computing.

☆ A rare Apple downgrade — and the price move after — is why we don't market time
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-08 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

This week's rare Wall Street downgrade of Apple (AAPL) is the perfect example of why we don't try to time the stock market. If sold some Apple at the open on Wednesday at $171 on fears of a sell-off, we would have been sorry. Trying to sell a stock higher with the intention of buying it back lower is a difficult game. To better illustrate this thinking, we ran a few scenarios around a 1,000-share position in Apple with a hypothetical sale price of $171 per share and a $161 repurchase price. Your profit on 900 shares would be $30,600 at a $205 stock price.

☆ Wall St Week Ahead Surging Treasury yields upend stock market's "bond proxies"
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-06 | by ( Lewis Krauskopf | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

Such areas are often referred to as "bond proxies" for their strong, stable dividends, which over the past decade have usually exceeded Treasury yields. But surging bond yields have dulled the appeal of bond proxies. As a result, shares of bond proxies have taken an outsize hit in recent weeks. The S&P 500 utilities sector (.SPLRCU) has tumbled 13% since last month’s Fed meeting. While the sector is expected to see stronger growth than the overall S&P 500 in the third and fourth quarters, its projected 8.6% increase in 2024 lags the expected 12% rise for the overall S&P 500, according to LSEG IBES.

Tech stocks are following up their worst month of the year with a rough start to October as a spike in interest rates pushes investors out of risky assets. Like most tech stocks that were viewed as growth engines during the Covid-19 pandemic, Airbnb rallied in 2021 — just after its Nasdaq debut — and then sank last year. It has bounced back in 2023 but rising interest rates and ongoing concerns about high energy prices and the potential for a recession have investors rotating out of the stock of late. Among mega-cap tech stocks, Amazon suffered the steepest drop, falling 3.7% to $124.72. Amazon is coming off its worst month since February as the company faces the potential of a disappointing holiday shopping season and a massive antitrust lawsuit from the Federal Trade Commission.

Meta's AI initiatives are likely to be a key aspect of how it monetizes products and services going forward, while bringing more users and customers into the AI fold. Whereas Meta's headset is priced for mass-market adoption, Apple's headset is clearly a premium device targeted to those who demand the most cutting-edge technology — such as micro-OLED lenses with eye-tracking capabilities . Similarly, JMP Securities argued that the event "highlights Meta's AI tailwinds," which could "unlock additional advertising budgets with new chat-based customer service." Meanwhile, we expect adoption of Meta's Quest 3 hardware to grow. But the integration of the Meta AI assistant into that platform should ultimately make the glasses a more valuable product over time.
