Best Tech Stocks To Own Right Now: NVIDIA Corporation(NVDA)
Advisors’ Opinion:
- [By Kumar Abhishek]
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)stock has been in a bearish trend for quite some time now. After rallying for the past six months NVDA stock has given up some gains. After hitting a high of $120, NVIDIA stock is trending down. As can be seen from the chart, NVIDIA is currently testing its 100-day moving average at around $95 level. As the NVIDIA technical analysis charts show, the volume levels are highindicating that the downtrend in the stock is strong. MACD has fallen below the zero centerline providing more strength to the bearish trend. Another bearish signal is coming from the 20-day SMA and 50-day SMA. 20-day SMA is making a bearish crossover with the 50-day SMA. A crossover where a shorter moving average crosses the longer moving average from above is generally a strong sell signal.

$1,000 might not seem like a lot of money to get started with investing. But over time, plenty of stocks have turned that seemingly paltry amount into over $100,000. Let’s examine two well-known tech stocks that did just that for patient investors — NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM).

Santa Clara, California-based NVIDIA Corporation(NASDAQ:NVDA) reported its Q4 FY 2017 earnings last week. As reported in our NVIDIAEarnings review, the company reported a strong set of numbers across various metrics while also guiding over Wall Street estimates for the next quarter. However, the NVDA stock sold off following the earnings announcement, closing the last trading session (Feb 10) at $113.62, down by 2.37% over the previous close. Investors could be lured into booking profits, given the massive run NVIDIA stock price has seen over the last one year; NVDA stock is up by 342% in the last 12 months. Instead, long-term investors should continue to buy more and use this post-earningsdip to accumulate NVIDIA stock on the cheap. Here is why NVDA stock could be headed higher over the longer term.

- [By Ben Levisohn]
We will admit that these latter assumptions are somewhat arbitrary, but nevertheless we cannot help escape the view that in 2017 everything will likely be at least a little adverse to prior expectations. On average our estimate reductions are 8%, and range from 3% at CIT Group (CIT) to 13% at Goldman Sachs. With that, we are lowering our PT of Bank of America,Citigroup andGoldman Sachs from $20, $70 and $243 to $18, $63 and $214, respectively…
