Nvidia, the graphics-processing unit specialist, has emerged as the top performer in the S&P 500 index this year. Despite a recent pullback, analysts at TD Cowen believe that Nvidia is the best chip stock idea for 2024.
The surge in Nvidia shares can be attributed to the widespread adoption of its chips as the preferred processor for artificial intelligence technology. Although concerns over exports to China have impacted the stock's performance, Matthew Ramsay from TD Cowen expects a strong rebound next year.
Ramsay describes Nvidia as the leader in the most consequential growth vector of computing, emphasizing its significance on par with the advent of the Internet. In fact, TD Cowen names Nvidia as their Best Idea for 2024 in a research note.
With a target price of $700 and an Outperform rating, Ramsay bases his assessment on Nvidia's projected 2025 earnings and a price-to-earnings multiple of 30 times. On Tuesday, the stock rose by 1.1% to $471.59.
While investors may already factor in Nvidia's prominent position in the chip industry, Ramsay believes they underestimate the company's capacity for sustained demand and growth through 2025. During this period, as companies scale back their spending to absorb their chip purchases, Nvidia is expected to thrive due to continued spending on generative AI. This expansion will extend beyond initial customers and infiltrate various large enterprises. Additionally, Nvidia's transition from chip sales to offering complete systems, including software, enables them to capture a higher percentage of data center spending.
Concerns about potential competition from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are deemed exaggerated by the TD Cowen analyst. He asserts that there is ample room in the market for both Nvidia and AMD to succeed in the AI sector.
In conclusion, Nvidia's success as a leader in AI computing shines through its exponential stock growth and unrivaled market position. Investors should not underestimate the company's ability to meet future demand and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
