Granted, there are concerns that an AI bubble is bursting.
But again, we’re not buying into it. And neither is Goldman Sachs.
As noted by Quartz.com, “The financial services company, in a note to investors this week, said that it believes the AI story is just getting started — and the investments that seem huge today will be dwarfed by the benefits AI will deliver.
JPMorgan’s Mary Callahan Erdoes added, “AI is presenting opportunities not fully appreciated or understood yet,” as noted by CNBC. “AI itself is not a bubble. That’s a crazy concept… We are on the precipice of a major, major revolution in a way that companies operate.”
In addition, according to Wolfe Research, as quoted by CNBC, “We continue to believe that concerns over an AI bubble bursting are overblown…at least for now. We remain buyers of AI-related stocks on share price weakness, but [we’re] waiting for either an upside NVDA surprise or more washed-out technical to become more aggressive buyers.”
Analysts are still upgrading Nvidia heading into earnings.
Stifel reiterated its buy rating on the tech giant with a price target of $250 from $212 a share.
