#4 - Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)
The last of the chipmakers I’ve put on this list is Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). This is a company that is having no problem meeting expectations. Nvidia just delivered an earnings report that saw it beat expectations for both revenue and earnings per share. INTC stock is up 77% in the last 12 months, but it has taken an 8% drop in the last month.
However, based on the company’s earnings report, this appears to be nothing more than Nvidia being caught up in the overall selloff going on with tech stocks.
The company benefited from the pandemic as the shift to working from home expanded demand for the company’s graphic processing units (GPUs). And being at home also stirred demand among gamers for GPUs that could deliver the speed and performance they needed. Early in 2021, the company is benefiting from renewed demand in cryptocurrency mining via its GPUs.
But where investors should really be paying attention is in Nvidia’s role in helping plan out “smart cities.” This is still an emerging sector of the IoT market, but it’s projected to take on much more significance in the coming years.
