Top 5 Cheap Stocks To Watch For 2018: International Business Machines Corporation(IBM)
Advisors’ Opinion:
- [By Sreekanth Anasa]
Further, according to recent reports, AMD, ARM (NSDQ:ARMH), Huawei Technology, International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM), Mellanox Technologies (NSDQ:MLNX), and Qualcomm (NSDQ:QCOM) have collaborated with Xilinx (NSDQ:XLNX) tobuild a homogenous interface for different CPUs to share data with FPGA accelerators, which are useful in the datacenter and deep learning space. If this collaboration is successful, it could be very bad news for Intel.

Illumina was busy during the fourth quarter. Key developments over the past three months included:
The commercial launch of the NovaSeq system, a new high-throughput sequencing system that the company hopes can dramatically lower genomic sequencing costs. The launch of the Bio-Rad single-cell sequencing solution. The launch of the TruSight Tumor 170, a 170-gene next-generation sequencing solution designed to provide a better picture of a tumor’s genomic landscape. The announcement of a deal with Philips (NYSE:PHG) to integrate Illumina’s sequencing systems with Philips’ IntelliSpace Genomics clinical informatics platform. A partnership withIBM (NYSE:IBM) to integrate IBM’s artificial intelligence system Watson for Genomics into Illumina’s BaseSpace sequence hub and tumor sequencing process.
What management had to say
Illumina’s CEO, Frank de Souza, was more cheerful than he was in the third quarter. “We ended 2016 on a stronger note than we anticipated, with robust performance across sequencing consumables and microarrays,” he said, adding, “We also made significant progress on key R&D programs as evidenced by the launch of NovaSeq, a brand new architecture that delivers the most powerful, flexible sequencer ever created, once again redefining the trajectory of sequencing.”

After reporting much better than expected results for its third quarter fiscal 2017 ended October 30,NVIDIA (NSDQ:NVDA)has continued to build new markets signing new collaborations with the tech giantsMicrosoft (NSDQ:MSFT)and International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM). In my view, these new developments will enable NVIDIA to maintain its impressive growth and to drive its shares even higher.

- [By Rick Munarriz]
There are a lot of people betting against Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI)these days, even as the stock is hitting 10-year highs. There were 280.1 million shares of Sirius XM sold short at the end of 2016, just below the late-November peak of 285.1 million shares but nearly double the short interest that we were seeing a year ago.
- [By Jon C. Ogg]
The long saga regarding Pandora Media Inc. (NYSE: P) has finally come to a head. Well, maybe. Rather than KKR & Co. L.P. (NYSE: KKR) investing $150 million, Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SIRI) will be investing up to $480 million in the streaming music rival. With its ticketing unit sale taking place as well, it might seem that Pandora is getting a great deal and helping to bolster its books.
