stock market guide


NVIDIA(NASDAQ:NVDA), the graphics-chip maker and leader in the burgeoning virtual-reality and driverless-car markets, has been on an absolute tear over the past 12 months, with shares up over 340%. At this point, it’s natural for investors to wonder if it’s too late to buy a few shares — this run could just bethe start of NVIDIA’s path to world domination, or it could be the very top of a bubble-like valuation.

While the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, there are certain types of investors who should, and shouldn’t, invest in NVIDIA no matter what the reality is. So with this fundamental truth in mind, we asked two of The Motley Fool’s best and brightest just who should (and shouldn’t) invest in NVIDIA. Here’s what they had to say.

You firmly believe in the growth story

Chris Neiger: NVIDIA has caught the eye of many tech investors with its stock price run-up in 2016. The investor optimism is more than just speculation, though. NVIDIA is already a dominant force in the GPU market, with more than 70% of the discrete desktop GPU market share, and it shows no signs of ceding its lead to rival AMD. That’s important, because the company brings in about 62% of its total revenue from its gaming GPU segment.

stock market guide: Celanese Corporation(CE)


Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    Time To Favor Optionality: Most macro data are similar to, or better than, when the merger was announced. As a result, the same returns have been obtainable, with significantly less stress, simply through owning 3M (MMM) or a basket of chemical companies that approximate the Dow-DuPont portfolio. Relative to the chemical sector, performance has been average, leverage appears reasonable but near-term FCF less-than compelling partly due to new capacity ramping. With the merger likely to close in the near-term (90% chance, in our view), we believe Dow-DuPont will have an opportunity to show how scale creates optionality. The overhaul at Celanese (CE) over the past few years shows the way.
