Nvidia (NVDA) Too Cheap to Ignore: Is Now the Time to Buy In?

Image
The US stock market has continued its rather shocking downfall to start this week. However, that has not been the case for the Magnificent 7, with the market’s mega-cap stocks all in the green. That includes Nvidia (NVDA), which is rallying back toward $100 and may be too cheap to ignore, but is now the time to buy in? The company had been the best performer throughout the entirety of 2024. However, that changed dramatically this year. With the US stock market plummeting amid geopolitical concerns and trade wars, there are few that have been caught in the middle as much as the AI tech firm has. The question is, does its upside make it a no-brainer buy as March approaches?

White House Announces Additional 104% tariffs on China

Image
The White House has announced that an additional 104% tariff on China went into effect at noon on Tuesday, with collections of the tariff beginning April 9. US President Donald Trump threatened an additional tariff on China if Beijing didn’t remove its retaliatory duties on US exports. The latter brought its own 34% tariff increase on the United States in response to Trump’s tariff announcement last week. Since China has yet to lift its retaliatory tariffs, the White House has added an additional 104% tariff to Chinese imports. On Monday, Trump also said he’s currently “waiting” on a call from China to make a deal on trade and tariffs while touting that a delegation from South Korea was already headed to the U.S. to make a deal of its own. “China also wants to make a deal, badly, but they don’t know how to get it started,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social. “We are waiting for their call. It will happen!” JUST IN: White House say...

Microsoft (MSFT) Gets $510 Target, Bullish Rating Amid Key Growth Plan

Image
The US stock market has not lived up to expectations so far in 2025. However, with tariff concerns abounding, experts still have faith in a turnaround. Among the most promising stocks to load up on is Microsoft (MSFT), which has gotten a $510 target and new bullish rating amid anticipation for a key growth plan. The company has long been viewed as a mega-cap stock with immense potential to surge. Indeed, the artificial intelligence demand surge that dominated the market this year is expected to benefit share price. Moreover, its entry into a new market could only add to the stock’s ceiling this year.

Nvidia: Citi Lifts Price Target as NVDA Earnigs May Get $4B Boost

Image
One of the biggest winners on Wall Street this year, Nvidia (NVDA), has gotten a price target increase from Citi as the chipmaker’s earnings report nears. The company with a market cap of more than $3.6 trillion is looking to end the year on a high note. Considering the heights it reached in 2024, that certainly is a tall task. Yet, it is one that many analysts are expecting, as the company’s additional Blackwell sales on its January data center figures have recently been factored into advisory models. With many experts holding a buy rating, there are high hopes for its performance after the earnings report arrives. Moreover, it is expected to set the tone for what should be an impressive stretch when the calendar turns to 2025. Source: TheStreet Also Read: Nvidia to Surge to $180?

This is why Kamala Harris could be great for retail investors

Though much has been said about Vice President Kamala Harris’ – and incumbent Joe Biden’s – plans to significantly increase taxes should she be elected in November, her economic plans also boast some hefty credits and reductions. Indeed, though ambitious, the VP’s economic plan is intended to be progressive, meaning the bulk of the burden would fall on the shoulders of the wealthy. The aim is that those making less than $400,000 annually would not see their costs rise and may even see some cuts. How could Harris reduce the burden on the middle class? One way this will likely be attempted is by extending parts of Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), as, should it be allowed to expire in full, an estimated 60% of Americans would see their taxes rise. While Harris did not directly engage with the idea by press time, Biden’s economic advisor, Lael Brainard, did come out in support. Picks for ...
