AVGO--
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) are two of the top picks. Oppenheimer raised its price target for Nvidia to $200 and for Broadcom to $305, citing unrelenting demand for GPUs and custom chips. The firm sees a long-term structural growth story tied to AI, electrification, and edge computing [1].
The AI infrastructure market is experiencing a significant surge, with hyperscalers scaling up AI data centers at an unprecedented pace. Capital spending by the top four cloud providers is tracking over 40% higher year-over-year, fueling demand for GPUs, custom accelerators, and high-speed networking [1].
Broadcom is making strategic moves to challenge Nvidia's dominance in AI infrastructure. The company's Tomahawk Ultra Ethernet switches are optimized for AI workloads, positioning it as a one-stop shop for hyperscalers seeking to build scalable, cost-efficient AI clusters [3].
Goldman Sachs also sees massive upside for Nvidia and Broadcom, setting a $185 price target for Nvidia and a $315 target for Broadcom. The bank highlights their leadership in AI infrastructure and rapid product innovation [2].
The AI infrastructure race is heating up, with both Nvidia and Broadcom positioned to benefit from the growing demand for AI chips and networking solutions. Investors should keep a close eye on these companies as they navigate the evolving landscape of AI spending [2, 3].
