Broadcom leads the Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) market by designing and manufacturing custom silicon chips tailored for high-performance computing, networking, and storage.
The company prioritizes speed and efficiency, delivering advanced solutions that power data centers and specialized computing infrastructure.

Several significant developments have recently reshaped the semiconductor industry&#8217;s tightly connected ecosystem, thereby having a bearing on Broadcom&#8217;s valuation.
The U.S. temporarily paused <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46687494/on-semiconductor-jumps-after-nvidia-deal-is-this-the-next-big-ai-power-play" rel="noreferrer noopener">tech export restrictions</a> to China to avoid disrupting trade talks and support President Donald Trump&#8217;s push for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Financial Times reported Monday.
This policy shift, coinciding with Nvidia&#8217;s decision to resume H20 AI chip sales to China, reverses a Trump-era ban imposed in April over national security concerns and could benefit semiconductor companies as U.S.-China negotiations resume in Stockholm.
Adding to the momentum, the White House launched &#8220;Winning the AI Race: America&#8217;s AI Action Plan&#8221; last week, which outlines over 90 federal actions to advance U.S. innovation, infrastructure, and AI leadership.
Semiconductor stocks rebounded Wednesday after prior losses linked to delays in the $500 billion Stargate project. The administration plans to fast-track data centers and chip plants permits, expand workforce training, streamline regulations, and require AI contracts to promote fairness and objectivity in large language models.
Reportedly, Nvidia <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46687078/booming-taiwan-chip-industry-faces-critical-worker-shortage" rel="noreferrer noopener">placed an order</a> for an additional 300,000 H20 AI chips from key contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) last week, marking a notable shift in its production plans for the H20 GPU.
AMD is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46665280/what-is-going-on-with-amd-stock-on-monday" rel="noreferrer noopener">gaining momentum as</a> it rides the rising global AI demand wave and strengthens its chip portfolio. AMD raised the price of its MI350 AI chip by $10,000 to $25,000, signaling growing confidence in its competitiveness and market traction.
Shares of AMD climbed Monday following the news, while HSBC boosted its outlook, stating that the MI350 can now rival Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell B200. The firm raised its 2026 AI chip sales forecast for AMD from $9.6 billion to $15.1 billion, highlighting strong growth potential in the evolving AI chip market.
In February, BofA Securities&#8217; Vivek Arya <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/02/43474406/nvidia-still-a-top-pick-as-microsoft-meta-stick-with-gpus-despite-deepseek-challenge-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">expressed optimism about</a> Broadcom&#8217;s growth, highlighting strong AI compute and networking demand as key drivers. While he expects Nvidia to maintain its dominant 80%+ share of the GPU market, Arya sees room for Broadcom to expand by capturing 10%–15% of the overall accelerator market through ASIC adoption.
However, EU judges are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/07/46634755/broadcoms-61-billion-vmware-deal-faces-eu-court-challenge-could-regulatory-blowback-hit-growth" rel="noreferrer noopener">reviewing a legal challenge</a> from CISPE aimed at annulling the European Commission&#8217;s approval of Broadcom&#8217;s $61 billion VMware deal. CISPE alleges the Commission ignored competitive risks and failed to impose safeguards, enabling Broadcom&#8217;s aggressive licensing practices.
Since closing the deal, Broadcom has raised VMware prices and introduced restrictive terms, sparking backlash from smaller European cloud providers. The legal pressure threatens Broadcom&#8217;s reputation in Europe, even as it touts VMware-driven revenue gains and AI growth momentum.
Price Action:&nbsp;AVGO stock is up 1.48% at $298.56 at last check Tuesday.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) shares are trading higher Tuesday extending momentum from Monday after reports revealed the company raised the price of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46665280/what-is-going-on-with-amd-stock-on-monday">MI350 artificial intelligence chip.</a>
What To Know: The chip was up-ed by $10,000, bringing it to $25,000 per unit. The increase reflects growing confidence in AMD's competitiveness within the AI chip market, particularly against rival Nvidia's Blackwell B200.
The price adjustment comes amid a broader surge in investor optimism following HSBC's revised forecast for AMD's AI chip sales in 2026. The bank now estimates sales to reach $15.1 billion, significantly higher than its prior projection of $9.6 billion. Analysts view the MI350 as a viable challenger in the high-performance AI segment, boosting expectations for AMD's role in the rapidly expanding AI market.
Further supporting AMD's upward trend is a favorable policy shift from the U.S. government. According to the Financial Times, the Commerce Department has paused enforcement of new restrictions on technology exports to China, in an effort to support ongoing trade negotiations and a potential summit between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The regulatory easing is expected to benefit chipmakers like AMD that operate within sensitive supply chains.
Recent political developments have also factored into the bullish sentiment. At a recent summit, President Trump introduced a trio of executive orders aimed at bolstering AI development, cutting red tape, and advancing infrastructure. AMD CEO Lisa Su and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang were both acknowledged by Trump as central figures in advancing U.S. AI leadership. Su, in particular, emphasized the potential of AI chip demand surpassing $500 billion in the near future.
AMD shares are now up over 80% in the last three months and 44% year-to-date, with the recent developments reinforcing the company's upward trajectory in a highly competitive and evolving AI market landscape.
AMD Price Action: Advanced Micro Devices shares were up 1.21% at $195.74 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

What's Going On With Advanced Micro Devices Shares Today?

Risk appetite took a breather Tuesday, with major U.S. stock indices retreating modestly from record highs as investors braced for a pivotal stretch of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46693997/wall-street-earnings-preview-microsoft-apple-meta-amazon-mastercard-visa">earnings and macro events.</a>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>MAGS ETF is up 50% since April&#8217;s tariff-driven low. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MAGS">Track it now here.</a></li>
</ul>
Roughly $19.5 trillion in market value — led by four Magnificent Seven names: Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) — is set to report earnings by Thursday after market close.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve is widely expected to keep rates steady at 4.25%-4.5% on Wednesday, though growing market chatter points to possible dissent in favor of early cuts.
A 90-day extension of the U.S.-China trade truce remains on the table, said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick.
Attention will then shift to Thursday's heavy macro lineup, including second-quarter GDP growth estimates and June's PCE inflation data, followed by July's jobs report on Friday — key inputs for the Fed's next move.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.1%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.4%, and the Russell 2000 shed 0.7%. The Nasdaq 100 remained flat.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) surged past $175, breaching a major technical level and marking highs not seen since July 2014, making it one of the day's top tech performers. 
Shares of AMD have now rallied by 134% since April&#8217;s tariff-driven lows, outperforming NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&#8217;s 105% gain during the same period.
The U.S. dollar extended its rally, on pace for a fourth consecutive gain after Monday's sharp move.
In commodities, oil prices stayed hot. WTI crude rose 1.6% to $67.75 per barrel, extending Monday's 2.4% jump and hitting a two-week high. Precious metals traded sideways as dollar strength continued to limit upside momentum.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged down 1% to $117,000, logging a second straight daily decline.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of July 29, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

Move over, Magnificent Seven—Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) just became a solo act. The GPU giant is now worth more than double the combined market caps of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) ($1.02 trillion), Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) ($281.57 billion), Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) ($372.58 billion) and Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) ($90.52 billion), with a towering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/news">$4.31 trillion valuation</a>. If this isn't peak silicon supremacy, what is?
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Track Nvidia&#8217;s stock surge <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA">here</a>.</li>
</ul>
While competitors wrangle with execution and margins, Nvidia's AI-fueled engine hasn't missed a beat. And neither have the markets. The stock has rallied nearly 1,566% over the past five years, 58% in the last 12 months, and it shows no signs of cooling, trading at a fresh all-time high of $177 on Monday.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI's Crown Jewel? Wall Street Thinks So</h2>
Nvidia's valuation metrics are bold, but not entirely bonkers in the age of AI. Per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0729">Benzinga Pro</a> data, its price-to-earnings ratio sits at 57x trailing, but the forward P/E of 39.5x suggests earnings are catching up fast. A PEG ratio of 1.71 implies that even with high growth, the stock isn't outrageously priced.
Meanwhile, Nvidia's enterprise value—just a touch under its market cap at $4.27T—indicates a clean balance sheet with little debt drag. With an earnings yield of 1.75%, it&#8217;s not a cash cow like a mature tech name, but investors aren't buying Nvidia for its dividends—they're buying the future.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia's Rise Isn't Just Big—It's Symbolic</h2>
In a way, Nvidia overtaking Tesla, AMD, Palantir, and Intel combined feels poetic. It's not just leading the AI race—it's defining the terrain. Tesla may promise robotaxis, Palantir may promise intelligence, and AMD may promise competition—but for now, Wall Street has spoken.
The future of computing isn't coming—it's already trading at $177 a share.

U.S. markets closed mixed on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipping 0.1% to 44,837.56 and the S&amp;P 500 holding steady at 6,389.77. The Nasdaq edged up 0.3% to finish at 21,178.58.
These are the top stocks that gained the attention of retail traders and investors throughout the day.

BitMine Immersion Technologies saw its shares drop by 11.74%, closing at $35.11. The stock reached an intraday high of $41.49 and a low of $34.39, with a 52-week range of $161 to $1.93. In the after-hours trading, the stock fell sharply by 15.12% to $29.80. The overnight decline came following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/07/46678140/bitmine-stock-falls-15-1-after-hours-as-peter-thiel-backed-company-files-shelf-offering-might-consider-eth">shelf registration filing</a> that allows existing stockholders to resell shares. The offering was viewed as dilutive, even though the company could raise up to $25.18 million if all warrants are exercised. Recently, the company announced that its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46614797/bitmine-immersion-shares-rise-after-ethereum-holdings-surpass-2-billion">Ethereum holdings</a> have surpassed $2 billion, a milestone achieved shortly after closing a $250 million private placement to bolster its Ethereum treasury strategy.

Sarepta Therapeutics&#8217; stock soared by 16.18%, closing at $13.86, with an intraday high of $14.04 and a low of $11.68. The 52-week range is between $150.48 and $10.42. In the after-hours trading, the stock skyrocketed nearly 48% to $20.46.
The surge came after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46676099/sarepta-therapeutics-stock-soars-after-fda-removes-hold-on-elevidys-for-some-patients">FDA lifted a hold</a> on its gene therapy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, allowing the company to resume shipments of Elevidys for ambulatory patients.

The increase aligns with reports that the U.S. has paused new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46664380/whats-going-on-with-super-micro-stock-on-monday">restrictions on tech exports</a> to China, a move intended to support ongoing trade talks.

The increase comes as the company reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46665280/what-is-going-on-with-amd-stock-on-monday">raised the price</a> of its MI350 AI chip, reflecting the growing demand for artificial intelligence technology.

As global demand for artificial intelligence continues to surge, major tech companies are racing to enhance their chip capabilities and secure their positions in the market. This competitive landscape is driving significant price adjustments and strategic forecasts, as evidenced by Advanced Micro Devices&#8216; (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/amd">recent developments.</a>
AMD stock gained on Monday amid reports indicating that the company has raised the price of its MI350 AI chip by $10,000 to $25,000.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>AMD stock is on the move, climbing higher. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Track it now here.</a></li>
</ul>
Additionally, HSBC evaluated that &#8220;MI350 can now compete with Nvidia&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell B200 <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/wallstengine/status/1949741428097323273?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1949741428097323273%7Ctwgr%5Ee2be56c130e2a66f55177420ba7a2e17a9ae11f7%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwccftech.com%2Famd-hikes-the-price-of-its-instinct-mi350-ai-accelerator-by-70-percent%2F" rel="noreferrer noopener">in the market</a>. The Wall Street firm expects AMD&#8217;s 2026 AI chip sales to be significantly higher than the prior estimate of $9.6 billion, at $15.1 billion.

The semiconductor chip stock also received a boost from a favourable industry regulatory report, which indicated that the United States had paused new restrictions on tech exports to China to avoid disrupting trade talks and support President Donald Trump&#8216;s efforts to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this year.
In recent months, the Commerce Department&#8217;s Bureau of Industry and Security received instructions to delay the strict enforcement of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46661640/us-holds-back-tech-export-crackdown-to-support-trump-xi-talks">export controls on China</a>, according to a Financial Times report, which cites current and former U.S. officials. This policy shift comes as top U.S. and Chinese economic officials prepare to launch high-level trade discussions in Stockholm aimed at resolving long-standing disputes.
AMD stock surged 44% year-to-date, gaining over 80% in the last three months.
Last week, Trump unveiled aggressive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46604524/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-amd-shares-thursday" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new AI initiatives</a> at a summit event. Trump signed three executive orders to reduce AI regulation, accelerate infrastructure development, and promote U.S. leadership in AI. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang praised the White House&#8217;s approach, calling it a competitive advantage for the U.S.. At the same time, AMD CEO Lisa Su projected that the demand for AI chips could exceed $500 billion in the years to come.
Trump publicly acknowledged Huang and Su as key figures advancing America&#8217;s AI leadership.
Alphabet&#8217;s increased 2025 capital spending forecast—up to $85 billion—also contributed to optimism, signaling growing demand for cloud and AI infrastructure. Trump is expected to roll out further plans to secure power access for AI-driven data centers.

What Is Going On With AMD Stock On Monday?

The United States has temporarily halted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nvidia">restrictions</a> on technology exports to China, according to a Monday <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/a13ba438-3b43-46dd-b332-4b81b3644da0">report</a> from the Financial Times. This pause is intended to prevent disruptions to ongoing trade discussions with Beijing and to bolster President Donald Trump&#8217;s push for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this year.
According to the report, the Commerce Department&#8217;s Bureau of Industry and Security, responsible for implementing export controls, has received directives in recent months to defer aggressive enforcement actions against Beijing. The newspaper cited both current and former U.S. officials.
This policy shift could provide a significant tailwind for leading semiconductor manufacturers, including Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>), and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).

The broader context for this pause includes high-level economic discussions scheduled to commence on Monday in Stockholm between U.S. and Chinese officials, focused on addressing persistent trade and economic grievances.
Notably, this move follows Nvidia&#8217;s recent announcement that it would resume sales of its H20 AI chips to China. This decision reversed an earlier export restriction imposed by the Trump administration in April, which cited national security concerns. 
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick previously linked this policy adjustment to broader negotiations encompassing critical materials such as rare earths and magnets.
However, the perceived easing of controls has not been universally welcomed. The Financial Times reports that a coalition of 20 national security experts and former U.S. officials, including former deputy national security adviser Matt Pottinger, intends to send a letter to Secretary Lutnick on Monday, expressing concerns that such concessions could compromise America&#8217;s strategic advantage in artificial intelligence.
Since 2019, Washington has incrementally tightened semiconductor sanctions on China, including the blacklisting of companies like Huawei, with the stated aim of curbing China&#8217;s access to sophisticated semiconductor technology, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence, citing national security imperatives.
On July 16, Needham&#8217;s N. Quinn Bolton raised his Nvidia price forecast from $160 to $200, citing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/07/46453723/why-nvidias-china-comeback-could-propel-its-stock-to-new-heights" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">renewed China shipments</a> and surging demand. He expects Nvidia to recapture lost H20 GPU sales after U.S. export licenses were approved, projecting $3 billion in quarterly shipments and near-100% margins on written-down inventory. 
Bolton also highlighted strong interest in new China-specific Blackwell chips, forecasting over $1 billion in early orders and revenue upside starting as soon as August. He raised fiscal 2026–2028 estimates sharply, seeing Nvidia well-positioned to regain momentum in China despite ongoing restrictions.
NVDA Price Action: NVDA stock is trading higher by 0.83% to $174.94 at last check Monday.

Top 10 Trending Stocks On WallStreetBets As Of July 28, 2025 (Via Swaggy Stocks)

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has spoken about the AI industry's obsession with benchmarks being outdated — likening it to the processor wars between Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) — and argues it's time to focus on real-world impact, just like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) did.
What Happened: In a conversation with podcaster Theo Von last week at OpenAI's San Francisco office, Altman reflected on the current state of AI development and the so-called "race" to build advanced models or even artificial general intelligence (AGI).
"It certainly feels that way," Altman said when asked if there's a race among companies. "We went through the equivalent of our megahertz race with our benchmark race, and now people kind of don't care about that as much."
He compared the fixation on benchmark scores — once touted by companies like Intel and AMD to promote faster processors — to the early days of personal computing.

Altman noted that Apple eventually shifted away from highlighting raw clock speeds in favor of user experience and overall performance.
"You probably don't even know what the processor speed of your iPhone is today," he said. "I think the same thing is happening in AI."
The OpenAI CEO suggested the focus is shifting toward "who's using the model" and "who's getting the value out of it," rather than who can score highest on test metrics.
He added that while many in the industry believe there's a race toward a singular milestone — perhaps the emergence of self-improving systems or superintelligence — he's personally unsure there's one definitive finish line.

Why It's Important: Altman's remarks come amid increasing scrutiny over the pace and direction of AI development. As competition intensifies between tech giants and new-age startups like OpenAI, Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google, Anthropic and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), his comments underscore a strategic pivot: from performance metrics to practical deployment and societal impact.
Meanwhile, several high-profile tech CEOs have given their prediction on when artificial general intelligence or AGI will arrive. Altman previously stated that it could be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/42867568/openai-ceo-sam-altman-predicts-agi-will-arrive-during-the-trump-presidency-says-chips-act-not-effective-enough">introduced during</a> the presidency of Donald Trump.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin said it could arrive before 2030, while Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis offered a more cautious estimate, saying it will likely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45599346/why-googles-demis-hassabis-disagrees-with-co-founder-sergey-brin-on-when-agi-will-arrive-and-sets-a-much-higher-bar">come just after 2030</a>.
Last year, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei suggested that AGI might be achieved as soon as 2026 or 2027, while noting that unexpected external influences could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41928832/anthropic-ceo-says-ai-similar-to-human-intelligence-could-be-around-the-corner-well-get-there-by-2026-or-2027">potentially slow its progress</a>.

Altman Compares AI Benchmark Hype To The Intel-AMD Megahertz Race — Says It's Time To Think Like Apple

Is a stock that's worth $100 per share cheap or overvalued? You can't arrive at an answer just with the stock price. Investors have to review various data points before determining if a stock is fairly valued at its current price.&nbsp;
Financial guru Humphrey Yang recently shared what goes into <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@humphreytalks/video/7527353321313651998?lang=en">valuing a stock</a> and used Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) as examples.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Stock Price Means Nothing</h2>
Yang mentioned that Nvidia trades at a lower price per share than Tesla. However, that doesn't mean Tesla is worth more than Nvidia. He told his audience to look at a stock's market cap to determine the company's value. Nvidia's market cap exceeds $4 trillion, while Tesla only has a $1 trillion market cap.

</ul>
Nvidia is valued at more than four times Tesla's valuation, even though Nvidia trades at a lower price per share than Tesla. That's because Nvidia has more shares in circulation than Tesla. The market cap measures the number of shares in circulation times the trade price. For instance, if there are 10 billion shares in circulation of a stock that is valued at $8 per share, then the company would have a market cap of $80 billion.
Yang revealed that Tesla has 3.210 billion shares in circulation, while Nvidia has 24.49 billion shares in circulation. The large difference in the amount of shares in circulation explains why Nvidia has a lower stock price than Tesla, despite the difference in market caps.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Does The Market Cap Tell The Entire Story?</h2>
You will need more than a company's market cap to assess if a stock presents a good buying opportunity. The market cap simply helps you gauge the percentage of ownership you have in a company. If you have a $1 million position in a company that is worth $100 million, you have a 1% stake in that position. However, you're more likely to have a microscopic stake in a publicly-traded corporation, especially the companies with market caps above $1 trillion.

You have to look at a company's tailwinds. For instance, Nvidia is poised to benefit immensely from the rising demand for artificial intelligence. Tesla faces some obstacles if the demand for its electric vehicles continues to wane, but significant revenue growth from robotaxis and humanoid robots are catalysts worth monitoring.
Investors also have to look at a company's financial strength. Revenue and net income growth rates are vital for gauging if a stock's valuation makes sense. You can then compare a stock with its peers by assessing metrics like financial growth rates, P/E ratios, and PEG ratios. For instance, it would make sense for investors to compare Nvidia with Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>). It makes zero sense to compare Nvidia to a bank stock since they have different opportunities and growth trajectories.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Index Funds And ETFs Make Investing Easier</h2>
It takes a lot of research and conviction to pick individual stocks and outperform the stock market. You have to review various metrics and know key details about the companies you buy.&nbsp;
However, you can also take a simpler route and buy shares in an index fund that tracks a benchmark like the S&amp;P 500. These funds have low expense ratios since they aren't actively managed, and they have the potential to multiply your money in the long run.
Investors can also consider a mix of individual stocks and ETFs instead of committing to a single type of asset. That way, you have a diversified portfolio that leans into a particular group of stocks.
