It’s the Magnificent Seven’s Market. The Other Stocks Are Just Living in It.

Listen to article(2 minutes)Big tech stocks reclaimed their position as the market’s leaders this year.

Nvidia’s CEO Still Plans to Sell High-End Chips in China

SINGAPORE—Nvidia’s CEO said he still hopes to supply high-end processors to China, days after U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo warned U.S. companies against sales of AI-enabling chips to the country in the name of national security. “Our plan now is to continue to work with the U.S. government to come up with a new set of products to comply with the new regulations,” Jensen Huang told reporters in Singapore Wednesday. “The new regulations have additional limits. We have to come up with new products to comply with those regulations.”Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Nvidia’s Rivals Prepare Their AI Assault

Nvidia was never going to have the artificial intelligence market all to itself. The past year has certainly made it seem that way, though. Nvidia’s sales have more than doubled—and its market value more than tripled—as major tech companies snapped up the company’s chips to capitalize on the explosive interest in generative AI sparked by the launch of the ChatGPT online chatbot a year ago. Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, two of Nvidia’s largest competitors, have seen their data-center sales shrink lately as the tech giants operating those networks have redirected their spending toward Nvidia’s specialized chip platforms. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Nvidia’s AI Boom Almost Blows Past Politics

Nvidia rules the artificial intelligence world, but that world is getting a little smaller—and more crowded. The chip maker now synonymous with AI reported another quarter of blowout sales and earnings growth late Tuesday. Revenue more than tripled to $18.1 billion thanks mostly to soaring sales at the company’s data center segment, which is now four times as large as its other businesses combined. Nvidia’s strong lead in the chips necessary to power generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT is also evident in its surging bottom line. Adjusted operating margins hit a record high of 64% in the fiscal third quarter ended October, far above the company’s average of 38% for the same quarter over the past five years. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
