On Monday, Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore issued an upbeat commentary on the company’s second-quarter results due on Aug. 23 and also the near-term outlook.
The company’s AI chips are in huge demand the world over, especially in some Middle East nations which are establishing their own computational power, a Financial Times report said.
Daniel Loeb’s Third Point took a new position in Nvidia in the second quarter, 13F filed by the firm showed.
Nvidia stock could see a pre-earnings run-up in the absence of any major negative economic catalyst. Moore called for a beat-and-raise quarter from the company and recommended investors use the recent pullback to take a position in the stock.
