Google Willow, Nvidia's China Troubles, Trump On AI, And More: This Week In Artificial Intelligence

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas"> many investors&#8217; favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here&#8217;s a look at some of our top stories.
The Dow dropped 1.8% this week, while the S&amp;P 500 fell 0.6%, ending a three-week winning streak. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq gained 0.3%, continuing its climb, driven by optimism in tech and artificial intelligence. 
The Nasdaq 100, boosted by the Magnificent Seven, reached record highs, approaching the 22,000 mark and logging a 30% year-to-date gain. Five of the group's stocks, including Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc.

Inflationary pressures also persisted in November, with the Consumer Price Index rising 2.7% year-over-year, marking the second consecutive annual increase and presenting challenges for the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Shelter costs, which rose 0.3%, accounted for 40% of the monthly CPI gain, underscoring the sticky nature of inflation despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42436676/inflation-rises-as-expected-in-november-sustain-hopes-for-next-weeks-fed-interest-rate-cut">earlier signs of disinflation.</a>

Scale AI, a San Francisco-based <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence</a> startup with a $13.8 billion valuation and high-profile partnerships across the tech industry, is facing a class-action lawsuit alleging wage theft and worker misclassification.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in San Francisco Superior Court by former contractor Steve McKinney, names Scale AI and its top executives, including 27-year-old billionaire CEO Alexandr Wang, as defendants. 
McKinney alleges Scale built its success by exploiting workers, accusing the company of practices like unpaid labor, denied overtime and unfair reassignments. As such, the lawsuit seeks class-action certification, restitution, punitive damages and changes to Scale's worker classification model, <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/sf-tech-startup-scale-ai-sued-wage-theft-19976761.php?sid=65d21e793be09a5bd409b575&amp;utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=briefing&amp;utm_campaign=sfgt%20%7C%20the%20daily&amp;stn=nf">according</a> to SFGate, which reported this on Friday.
"Scale AI is the sordid underbelly propping up the generative AI industry," the complaint states, describing the company's control over contractors as "Orwellian." It accuses Scale of monitoring contractors with tools that take periodic screenshots of their computer use, docking pay for tasks that exceed estimated time limits and reassigning workers to lower-paying projects. 
The lawsuit also claims Scale violated California's "ABC" test for independent contractors, asserting that workers like McKinney should be classified as employees.
Scale spokesperson Tom Channick responded to the allegations. "We do not comment on litigation but are committed to ensuring we are in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations," he told SFGate in a statement, adding that contractors working for Scale enjoy flexible, supplemental income and earn significant sums.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Dark Side Of AI&#8217;s Rapid Growth</h1>
The lawsuit underscores the darker side of the AI industry's rapid growth, noting the disturbing and at times traumatic tasks contractors are sometimes assigned. McKinney's complaint alleges, for example, that workers are assigned to projects "that deal with obscene and distressing subject matter, where Taskers must provide responses to prompts regarding extremely disturbing topics." The document provides the example of "sexual intercourse with dead animals."
Channick countered the claims, stating that workers receive advanced notice about sensitive tasks, can opt out at any time and have access to wellness programs. However, McKinney's attorney, Glenn Danas, said in a news release quoted by SFGate that such tasks are traumatizing for workers. "If companies like Scale AI are not held accountable, humans will continue to be exploited to train this unregulated technology for profit," Danas said.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Scale&#8217;s Meteoric Rise</h1>
Scale AI, founded in 2016, positioned itself as a frontrunner in the AI&nbsp;industry,&nbsp;years before&nbsp;OpenAI's&nbsp;ChatGPT gained popularity. According to <a href="https://fortune.com/2024/05/21/scale-ai-funding-valuation-ceo-alexandr-wang-profitability/">Fortune</a>, Scale contractors annotated images for Cruise and Waymo, aiding autonomous vehicle tech and supplied data for OpenAI. With a $13.8 billion valuation, Scale partners with Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia and the Department of Defense.

Wage Theft Allegations Target $13.8B Tech Giant Scale AI

Good Morning Traders! In today&#8217;s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.
Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.
We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market&#8217;s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let&#8217;s dive into the stock analysis:
SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)
SPY is trading near the 606.34 level, which is a critical area for the bulls to defend. If buyers can push the price beyond 607.55 and hold that level as support, we anticipate a further rally towards 608.35. Sustained buying momentum above 608.35 could open the door to a test of 609.33. Should this strength persist, the high bull target for today stands at 610.63.
Conversely, if the 606.34 level fails to hold as support, bears are likely to take the price lower to test 605.41. A breakdown below this level could see the auction heading towards 604.45. If selling pressure intensifies, we expect further downside, potentially reaching 603.38. The low bear target for the session is set at 602.37.
Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)
The QQQ is hovering around the 530.70 mark, with bulls aiming to hold this level as a foundation for upward momentum. Should the price hold firm above 530.70, buyers could target 532.52 as the next area of interest. If this level is reclaimed and sustained, the price may advance towards 533.70. With continued strength, a test of 535.30 is plausible, and the high bull target for the day sits at 536.95.
On the flip side, a failure to maintain 530.70 as support could lead to bearish activity driving the price down to 528.44. Sellers may aim to challenge the 527.03 level if downside pressure persists. Further weakness could expose 525.19 as the next key level, with the low bear target of 523.91 in sight for today's session.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>)
Apple is trading close to 248.12, a pivotal level for determining today's direction. If buyers can hold 248.12 as support, the stock could see an upward move toward 249.04. Sustained bullish momentum may push the price higher to 250.39. In a strong uptrend, Apple could reach 252.13, the high bull target for the day.
However, if 248.12 fails as support during regular trading, sellers may take control, driving the price lower to 246.72. Continued bearish momentum could lead to a test of 245.58. If selling intensifies, 244.45 becomes the next critical level, with 243.57 set as the low bear target for the session.
Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)
Microsoft is currently positioned near 450.26, with bulls looking to hold this level and push higher. If buying pressure prevails, the next target for bulls is 453.02. A hold above 453.02 could propel the stock toward 455.77. Should the uptrend continue, 457.25 serves as the high bull target for the day.
In the event that 450.26 is lost as support, bears may aim to test 448.18. A breakdown below this level could lead to further selling pressure, bringing 446.33 into focus. If the bearish momentum continues, the price might test 444.95, with 442.95 acting as the low bear target for today's trading session.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) NVIDIA is auctioning near 138.55, a key level for gauging bullish interest. If the price can hold above 138.55, bulls are likely to target 139.42. Sustained buying activity could drive the price higher to 140.28, with additional momentum potentially taking the stock to 141.21. The high bull target for today is set at 142.35.
If NVIDIA struggles to hold 138.55, bears could push the price lower to test 137.94. A breakdown at this level might result in a move toward 136.98. Should selling pressure remain strong, 135.64 is the next key level, with 134.56 marking the low bear target for today's session.
Alphabet Inc Class A (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)
Alphabet is trading near 191.45, a critical level for bulls to establish as support. If buyers can maintain control above this level, the price may rise toward 192.19. A sustained rally could extend to 193.14, marking the high bull target for today.
On the other hand, if 191.45 is breached, bears are likely to push the price lower to test 190.41. A failure to hold this level could lead to further declines toward 189.57. If bearish momentum persists, the low bear target of 188.73 becomes a potential objective.
Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)
Meta is trading around 629.88, with bulls aiming to hold this level to support an upward move. If buyers prevail, the next target is 635.49, with the potential for a continued rally toward 642.59. A strong bullish session could see the price testing 646.48, the high bull target for the day.
Should 629.88 fail as support, bears are likely to drive the price lower to 622.01. Continued selling pressure could bring 615.65 into play. If the auction remains weak, the price may drop to the low bear target of 609.30 for the session.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)
Tesla is currently trading near 420.70, with bulls aiming for a breakout. If buyers manage to push the price higher, 426.23 becomes the next level of interest. Sustained buying pressure could see Tesla advancing toward 431.50. If the broader market supports a bullish rally, the price might test 437.95, with 448.48 as the high bull target.
On the downside, a failure to hold 420.70 could lead to a test of 416.62. If selling pressure intensifies, bears might aim for 413.10. Should this level give way, Tesla could drop to the low bear target of 407.97.
Final Word:&nbsp; Today's session offers traders a relatively calm economic calendar, with the primary focus on the Import Price Index for November at 8:30 AM ET. Although no major economic events are scheduled, it's important to stay vigilant, as low-news days can amplify reactions to unexpected developments or shifts in market sentiment.
Additionally, traders should keep an eye on market volume, intraday volatility, and options activity, especially as weekly contracts approach expiration. These factors can lead to sharp and sudden price moves. Stay disciplined, manage risks effectively, and approach the market with caution. Have a great session and enjoy the weekend!

Market Clubhouse Morning Memo - December 13th, 2024 (Trade Strategy For SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META and TSLA)

Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) stock surged Friday after it reported better-than-expected <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42484676/nvidia-amd-taiwan-semi-and-other-chip-stocks-gain-as-broadcoms-q4-sparks-sector-wide-surge" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth-quarter adjusted EPS</a> results and raised its quarterly common stock dividend.
The company reported a topline of $14.05 billion, up from $9.3 billion, compared to the analyst estimate of $14.57 billion. EPS of $1.42 missed the analyst consensus of $1.46.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42470137/t-mobiles-premium-valuation-prompts-downgrade-growth-projections-decelerate" rel="noreferrer noopener">T-Mobile&#8217;s Premium Valuation Prompts Downgrade As Growth Projections Decelerate: Analyst</a>
Broadcom expects first-quarter revenue of ~$14.60 billion, almost in line with the $14.61 billion consensus estimate.
Multiple Wall Street analysts rerated the stock after the print:
<ul>
<li>Rosenblatt analyst Hans Mosesmann maintained Broadcom with a Buy and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AVGO/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $240 to $250</a>.</li>
<li>B of A Securities analyst Vivek Arya reiterated Broadcom with a Buy and raised the price target from $215 to $250.</li>
<li>JP Morgan analyst Harlan Sur maintained Broadcom with an Overweight and raised the price target from $210 to $250.</li>
</ul>
Rosenblatt: Broadcom came in with a slight beat on continued AI and networking momentum and some VMWare first-quarter pushouts. Non-AI dynamics continue to demonstrate modest cyclical recovery.
The Street will pivot on management&#8217;s disclosure of the line-of-sight AI serviceable available market (SAM) at its current custom ASIC (XPU) 3 hyperscaler customers of $60 billion—$90 billion by 2027, up from the $15 billion—$20 billion level in 2024.
Interestingly, Broadcom has two new potential engagements that could eventually match the size of the current three.
The AI 3-year outlook supports the ~60% CAGR of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) TAM of $500 billion for the 2027 and 2028 timeframes.
Management implied strong prospects for maintaining AI custom ASIC leadership and share gains over Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) GPUs.
Broadcom already has working custom ASIC 3nm silicon that will ship this Spring, well ahead of anybody in the market.
While custom ASIC sister Marvell Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) is also in the 3nm race, it is roughly a year behind Broadcom. Mosesmann&#8217;s fiscal 2025 revenue and adjusted EPS estimates remain unchanged.
B of A Securities: The rerating reflects Broadcom&#8217;s expanding custom-chip (ASIC) AI, surging AI opportunity, and potential to maintain a position at large wireless customer Apple.
Near-term results were inline, though the pushout of some software deals from the fourth to the first quarter helped Broadcom guide the first quarter inline versus concerns of missing due to seasonal headwinds, the analyst said.
Arya projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $61.1 billion (prior $59.3 billion) and EPS of $6.27 (prior $6.00). He expects fiscal 2026 revenue of $70.2 billion (prior $68.5 billion) and EPS of $7.50 (prior $7.31).
His forecast implies a growth trajectory of about 15% sales and 20% EPS over the next three years across a diversified silicon and infrastructure software base.
Based on Broadcom&#8217;s leading capabilities and IP in leading-edge logic, networking, memory, and interface design, Arya projected its AI sales to grow from $12 billion in the current year to about $30 billion by calendar 2027.
However, Arya noted an upside to a 30% EPS CAGR towards $11-$12/share by calendar 2027, assuming AI sales get to $53 billion instead, based on Broadcom maintaining its current 70% share of a larger $75 billion SAM.
There could be further upside since, per Broadcom, the stated range is only for its current three customer&#8217;s &#8220;line-of-sight&#8221; intention to each build 1 million unit custom accelerator (XPU) clusters requiring an 80% and 20% mix of compute and networking.
JP Morgan: Broadcom delivered solid fourth-quarter quarterly results on continued strong sequential growth in its AI semiconductor segment, which offset lower software revenues.
For the first quarter, Broadcom guided revenues in line with consensus expectations and better than market expectations on sustained strong AI demand and software revenue acceleration.
The fiscal 2024 AI revenues were $12.2 billion, up 3 times year-on-year. Sur expects them to grow to $17 billion-$18 billion (+40% Y/Y) in fiscal 2025, given continued strong cloud and hyperscaler capex spending trends with a focus on AI infrastructure build-out and second-half ramp of Alphabet Inc (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&#8217;s next-gen TPU v6 3nm AI accelerator ASIC.
More importantly, Broadcom expects the AI SAM opportunity for its three existing cloud/hyperscalers to accelerate, driven by continued substantial investments in multi-generational XPU road maps and larger cluster sizes.
Even applying a more conservative market share assumption, Sur noted that Broadcom&#8217;s AI business is growing at a 40%- 50%+ revenue CAGR over the next several years.
In the near term, despite a product handoff from the TPU v6 inference chip at 5nm to the TPU v6 training chip at 3nm, Broadcom is still guiding for sequential growth in its AI revenues for the first quarter.
The TPU v6 3nm training chip will likely move into a high volume ramp in the second half of next fiscal year, and this one SKU Sur noted can drive $8 billion+ for Broadcom in fiscal 2025.
Given its portfolio breadth, diversification, and product cycles, Broadcom continues to drive a stable revenue growth profile even during macro volatility. Broadcom generated strong free cash flow for the year, which resulted in an 11% dividend increase.
Sur projected fiscal 2025 revenue of $62.7 billion and EPS of $6.50.
Price Action: AVGO stock is up 19.7% at $216.20 at last check Friday.

Broadcom's AI Chip Leadership Puts Pressure on Nvidia and Marvell, Analysts Say

The battle for AI supremacy isn't just about innovation — it's a clash of titans in the stock market. Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) are two names synonymous <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">with AI dominance</a>, but which one deserves a spot in your portfolio?
Let's break down the numbers and signals analysts are sending.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia: The AI Powerhouse</h1>
Nvidia, with its cutting-edge GPUs, has been riding high on the AI revolution, posting an 184.01% gain in the past year. But the recent months have been bumpy, with a 6.62% decline in the last 30 days, signaling headwinds for the tech giant.
Analysts from DA Davidson, Phillip Securities and Truist Securities, as an average of all three, peg Nvidia's price target at $154.67, an implied 12.44% upside from the current price of $137.34.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent121324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="630" height="493" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13105326/Screenshot-2024-12-13-at-9.23.03-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-691680" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13105326/Screenshot-2024-12-13-at-9.23.03-PM.png 630w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13105326/Screenshot-2024-12-13-at-9.23.03-PM-300x235.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent121324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
But technical indicators suggest trouble:
<ul>
<li>Eight-day SMA at $139.81: A bearish signal.</li>
<li>20-day SMA at $140.38: Another bearish signal</li>
<li>50-day SMA at $138.57: Yet another bearish.</li>
<li>200-day SMA at $115.28: A bullish signal, indicating long-term optimism.</li>
</ul>
Despite the bearish near-term trend, Nvidia's fundamentals keep it in the game, especially for long-term AI believers.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Palantir: The AI Growth Rocket</h1>
Palantir, an analytics giant with a focus on AI-driven data solutions, has been on a jaw-dropping rally, boasting a 308.95% gain in the past year and a 20.40% surge in the past month. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent121324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="630" height="493" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13105518/Screenshot-2024-12-13-at-9.23.13-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-691685" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13105518/Screenshot-2024-12-13-at-9.23.13-PM.png 630w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/13105518/Screenshot-2024-12-13-at-9.23.13-PM-300x235.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></a></figure>
<a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent121324&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Chart created using Benzinga Pro</a>
Unlike Nvidia, Palantir's current trend is strongly bullish, backed by robust technicals:
<ul>
<li>Eight-day SMA at $72.51: A bullish signal.</li>
<li>20-day SMA at $67.94: A bullish signal.</li>
<li>50-day SMA at $55.16: Another bullish signal.</li>
<li>200-day SMA at $33.73: Yet another bullish signal, underscoring sustained momentum.</li>
</ul>
Analysts, however, have mixed feelings. Mizuho, Baird and BofA Securities give Palantir, as an average of all three, a price target of $63, implying a 14.63% downside from its current price of $73.20. This disparity suggests Palantir might be overextended in the short term, even if the technicals scream bullish.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Verdict: Growth Vs. Stability</h1>
If you're looking for momentum and near-term gains, Palantir might be your pick, riding its bullish wave. But if long-term AI dominance is your goal, Nvidia's fundamentals and analyst support make it a compelling choice, despite the current bearish signals.
Investors must decide: ride Palantir's rocket or bet on Nvidia's resilience?

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Analysts Love Broadcom</h3>
Bank of America&#8217;s analyst Vivek Arya reiterated a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating on Broadcom following the quarterly report, boosting the 12-month price target from $215 to $250 and hinting at a potential 15% upside from current levels.
Arya&#8217;s optimism stems from three main drivers:
<ol>
<li>AI&#8217;s Expanding Footprint: Broadcom&#8217;s custom AI chips (ASICs) now serve five major customers, up from three previously. The company's AI-related revenue could soar to a served available market of $60–$90 billion by 2027—up from an estimated $15–$20 billion in 2023.</li>
<li>Apple's Steady Demand: Broadcom is expected to maintain its strong relationship with Apple, despite prior concerns about declining content orders.</li>
<li>Robust Earnings Growth: Analysts forecast a 15% sales growth and a 20% adjusted earnings-per-share (EPS) growth trajectory through 2026, underpinned by Broadcom&#8217;s diversified portfolio spanning silicon and infrastructure software.</li>
</ol>
"Broadcom's AI-driven growth potential and diversified base position it as one of the best opportunities in the chip sector," Arya said in a note, justifying their upward revision of earnings per share in fiscal year 2025 and 2026 by 5% and 3%, respectively.

 </style>When conducting a detailed analysis of NVIDIA, the following trends become clear: 
<ul>
<li>
At 54.22, the stock's Price to Earnings ratio is 0.84x less than the industry average, suggesting favorable growth potential.
</li>
<li>
The elevated Price to Book ratio of 51.04 relative to the industry average by 7.48x suggests company might be overvalued based on its book value.
</li>
<li>
The stock's relatively high Price to Sales ratio of 30.15, surpassing the industry average by 2.96x, may indicate an aspect of overvaluation in terms of sales performance.
</li>
<li>
With a Return on Equity (ROE) of 31.13% that is 27.65% above the industry average, it appears that the company exhibits efficient use of equity to generate profits.
</li>
<li>
With lower Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of $22.86 Billion, which is 0.68x below the industry average, the company may face lower profitability or financial challenges.
</li>
<li>
With lower gross profit of $26.16 Billion, which indicates 0.96x below the industry average, the company may experience lower revenue after accounting for production costs.
</li>
<li>
The company's revenue growth of 93.61% exceeds the industry average of 8.28%, indicating strong sales performance and market outperformance.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Debt To Equity Ratio</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734102007_0.png" alt="debt to equity" />
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is an important measure to assess the financial structure and risk profile of a company.
Considering the debt-to-equity ratio in industry comparisons allows for a concise evaluation of a company's financial health and risk profile, aiding in informed decision-making.
In light of the Debt-to-Equity ratio, a comparison between NVIDIA and its top 4 peers reveals the following information:
<ul>
<li>
When comparing the debt-to-equity ratio, NVIDIA is in a stronger financial position compared to its top 4 peers.
</li>
<li>
The company has a lower level of debt relative to its equity, indicating a more favorable balance between the two with a lower debt-to-equity ratio of 0.16.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
For NVIDIA, the PE ratio is low compared to peers, indicating potential undervaluation. The high PB and PS ratios suggest strong market sentiment and revenue multiples. The high ROE reflects efficient use of shareholder equity, while low EBITDA and gross profit may indicate operational challenges. The high revenue growth rate signals strong sales performance relative to industry peers in the Semiconductors &amp; Semiconductor Equipment sector.

The subsidy has been pivotal in drawing foreign companies like Taiwan Semiconductor and Samsung, which have committed billions to U.S. semiconductor plants.
A possible optimism over the U.S. Fed rate cut is also influencing the semiconductor stock movement as it will make borrowing cheaper for the highly capital-intensive industry.

Nvidia, AMD, Taiwan Semi Gain As Broadcom's Q4 Performance Sparks Sector-Wide Surge

On Thursday, Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) CFO&nbsp;Dave Zinsner&nbsp;did not rule out the possibility of splitting <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/intel" rel="noreferrer noopener">the company&#8217;s factory and</a> product-development divisions as the next CEO takes charge, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-12/intel-says-the-idea-of-splitting-up-company-is-an-open-question?srnd=phx-technology&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> from Barclays technology conference in San Francisco.
Zinsner is also serving as Intel&#8217;s interim co-CEO along with&nbsp;Michelle Johnston Holthaus following Pat Gelsinger&#8217;s exit after he failed to impress the board with his turnaround efforts.
Intel&nbsp;stock plunged 57% year-to-date as it failed to tap the current enterprise customer shift to artificial intelligence technology, which contributed to the upside for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>). Taiwan Semiconductor stock is up 89% year-to-date.

Intel also failed to boost its artificial intelligence accelerator chip business as its Gaudi chip could not gain traction in a market led by Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). Nvidia stock is up over 185% year-to-date.
Zinsner&nbsp;said during the conference that Intel&#8217;s two divisions were already separate in terms of their operating structure, which is in sharp contrast to Gelsinger&#8217;s plans to maintain the two units together.
The co-CEOS stressed during the conference that it would take time to fix Intel&#8217;s moat. They flagged challenges regarding data center products and outsourcing of contract manufacturing efforts.
Holthaus said that Intel will focus on updating generic graphics-chip offerings to make them competitive. In 2025, Intel will focus on containing Intel&#8217;s market-share loss, as per Holthaus.
The co-CEOs hinted at a possible&nbsp;sale of Intel&#8217;s manufacturing operations lest the new chipmaking technology fails to gain traction, Reuters cites from the conference.
During Taiwan Semiconductor founder Morris Chang&#8217;s autobiography launch, he highlighted <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42435733/taiwan-semi-founder-calls-for-new-strategy-after-intel-chiefs-departure" rel="noreferrer noopener">Intel&#8217;s need for</a> a new strategy and CEO.

He reiterated Intel&#8217;s fourth-quarter revenue&nbsp;guidance of $13.30 billion—$14.30 billion versus the analyst consensus of $13.81 billion.
Truist Securities and&nbsp;Benchmark analysts recently flagged that Intel&#8217;s separation of the foundry business could cost the $7.8 billion U.S. chip subsidy.

Intel CFO Hints at Possible Division Split as Company Struggles To Recapture Moat

Netflix Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) has witnessed its stock price soar beyond $900, sparking speculation about a potential stock split. This surge aligns with a broader market rally, particularly in Big Tech, driven by advancements in AI software and chips.
What Happened: Netflix&#8217;s shares have increased more than fivefold since hitting a low in 2022. The S&amp;P 500 has risen 70% since the bear market bottomed in October 2022. Companies like&nbsp;Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and&nbsp;Deckers Outdoor Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DECK#NYSE">DECK</a>) have already executed stock splits this year, Barron&#8217;s <a href="https://www.barrons.com/amp/articles/netflix-stock-split-nvidia-bull-market-0c81012c">reported</a> on Friday.
Ken Mahoney of Mahoney Asset&nbsp;Management commented, &#8220;Once&nbsp;stocks are worth way into&nbsp;the high hundreds of dollars&nbsp;per share range, a lot&nbsp;of people get in their&nbsp;mind that a stock split&nbsp;could be coming.&#8221;
"It wouldn't surprise us if Netflix followed suit within the next few announcing earnings."
A stock split can attract more investors by making shares more affordable, potentially boosting market value.
Netflix has yet to respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> queries.

Netflix&#8217;s growth, particularly outside the U.S., and increased profit margins have contributed to its rising stock price. Analysts anticipate further revenue growth through higher international subscription prices and advertising. However, Netflix&#8217;s high valuation could deter some investors if earnings expectations are not met.
Why It Matters: The recent surge in Netflix&#8217;s stock price is not an isolated event.&nbsp;Jim Cramer&nbsp;recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42452602/jim-cramer-bullish-in-netflix-as-stock-nears-1000-amid-streaming-success">expressed strong buying conviction</a> for Netflix as its shares traded near $934. This comes amid broader tech market strength and a recommendation from JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth, who raised his price target on Netflix to $1,010 from $850. Anmuth cited robust subscriber growth and expanding ad revenue as key factors.
Netflix&#8217;s recent milestone, the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing match, became the most-streamed sporting event ever, with 60 million households watching live. This achievement underscores the platform&#8217;s growing influence in the streaming industry and its ability to attract a massive audience.
Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, Netflix was trading slightly higher at $204.60 on Friday during pre-market hours after previously closing at $203.68.
Meanwhile, as per the three most-recent analyst ratings, released by JP Morgan, Citigroup, and Canaccord Genuity the average price target of Netflix is $956.67, with an implied 3.48% upside for the company.

Insights From Analysts
Picking up from Thursday&#8217;s session, Jason Goepfert, the founder of SentimenTrader, said, &#8220;This will be the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 9th consecutive session with negative breadth. That&#8217;s happened fewer than 20 times in ~70 years. On average, the S&amp;P has been -12% from its high during these streaks.&#8221;

Talking about the future of AI, BlackRock in their 2025 outlook said, &#8220;We think the AI mega force will benefit U.S. stocks more and that's why we stay overweight, particularly relative to international peers such as European stocks.&#8221;
The note added that the &#8220;key signposts&#8221; for them to change their views will include any &#8220;surge in long-term bond yields or an escalation in trade protectionism.&#8221;
The note also added that BlackRock has conviction in U.S. equities outperforming their international peers. &#8220;We recognize valuations are rich in U.S. equities but don't see them as a near-term market driver,&#8221; it added.
According to Charles Schwab&#8217;s 2025 outlook, the volatility backdrop is likely to be different from what investors got used to in 2024. &#8220;The likelihood of a similar dynamic in 2025 is low, in our opinion,&#8221; the note said.
&#8220;Starting with where we are now, though, the market is in a relatively healthy position. As shown in the chart below, the S&amp;P 500 is comfortably above its 50 and 200-day moving averages; and when its 50 DMA was above its 200 DMA historically, the average annualized gain for the index (going back to the late 1920s) was 9.2%. There is strong momentum heading into the new year.&#8221;
However, &#8220;If inflation volatility picks back up, which will become clearer after tariff and labor policy implementations, there could be more risks to stocks via bonds,&#8221; Schwab note adds.

The company&#8217;s market share grew&nbsp;to 64.9%, up from 62.3% sequentially, thanks to the smartphone and AI-related&nbsp;demand for its 3-nm and 5-nm technologies.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock surged 89% year-to-date.

Taiwan Semiconductor Set to Command 67% Foundry Market Share By 2025: IDC

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Neutral&#8221; zone on Thursday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Thursday, with the Dow Jones index falling more than 200 points following the release of inflation data.
Tech stocks were among the notable decliners, with shares of Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) falling over 1% on Thursday. Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) shares fell over 13% after the company issued weaker-than-expected 2025 guidance.
On the economic data front, U.S. initial jobless claims increased by 17,000 from the previous week to a reading of 242,000 during the first week of December, compared to market estimates of 220,000. Core producer prices increased by 0.2% month-over-month in November compared to a 0.3% increase in the previous month, which is in line with market expectations.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with healthcare, consumer discretionary, and communication services stocks recording the biggest losses on Thursday. However, consumer staples stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session higher.
The Dow Jones closed lower by around 234 points to 43,914.12 on Thursday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.54% to 6,051.25, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.66% to close at 19,902.84 during Thursday's session.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 48.6, the index remained in the &#8220;Neutral&#8221; zone on Thursday, versus a prior reading of 51.7.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Dow Dips More Than 200 Points Following Inflation Data, Nvidia And AMD Decline: Fear & Greed Index Remains In 'Neutral' Zone

Crusoe, a vertically integrated <a href="Disclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.">artificial intelligence infrastructure provider</a>, secured $600 million in Series D funding led by Peter Thiel&#8216;s Founders Fund, valuing the company at $2.8 billion. The round included participation from Fidelity, NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and other investors, the company announced on Thursday.
What Happened: The investment marks Founders Fund&#8217;s latest significant technology bet, following its recent $200 million cryptocurrency investment split between Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39936042/peter-thiel-founders-fund-lead-11m-investment-in-pudgy-penguins-parent-company-excited-to-">earlier this year</a>.
&#8220;The biggest risk with AI is that we don&#8217;t go big enough. Crusoe is here to liberate us from the island of limited ambition,&#8221; Thiel said in a statement.
Crusoe, founded in 2018, differentiates itself by using waste <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41616040/peter-thiels-founders-fund-leads-500m-fundraise-in-waste-gas-powered-ai-cloud-start-up">natural gas from oilfields</a> to power its data centers, addressing both environmental concerns and the growing demand for AI computing resources.

Why It Matters: The company recently announced plans for a new data center in Abilene, Texas, projected to add $1 billion to the local economy over 20 years and create more than 800 jobs. The facility will feature over 1.2 gigawatts of capacity, making it one of the world&#8217;s largest high-performance computing clusters.
Crusoe CEO Chase Lochmiller said, &#8220;To reduce complexity, accelerate time-to-value, and support the most demanding AI solutions, customers need a vertically integrated approach.&#8221;
The funding announcement coincides with the general availability launch of Crusoe Cloud, the company&#8217;s high-performance cloud platform designed for AI and machine learning workloads. Customer count grew more than sevenfold in the past year, according to company data.
Founders Fund&#8217;s portfolio includes both past and current investments in notable companies such as SpaceX, Palantir, Stripe, Neuralink, OpenAI, The Boring Company, and Polymarket.

Peter Thiel Says, 'The Biggest Risk With AI Is That We Don't Go Big Enough' As His Founders Fund Leads $600 Million Crusoe Investment

Ritholtz Wealth Management&#8217;s Josh Brown created a new index that tracks the most popular stocks in some of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/24/12/42465585/spotlight-on-soundhound-ai-analyzing-the-surge-in-options-activity">hottest themes of the market</a>.
What To Know: Last Tuesday on "<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-compound-and-friends/id1456467014?i=1000679133042" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Compound &amp; Friends</a>" podcast, Brown set the stage for unveiling the &#8220;Degen Dow.&#8221;
&#8220;I think that if we were to make a list of the biggest themes of 2024, one of those themes would have been degeneracy,&#8221; Brown said. 
It&#8217;s tough to say precisely how the word &#8220;degen&#8221; came to be, but some believe it originates from the term &#8220;degenerate gambler&#8221; in sports betting and gambling culture, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/degen-stock-crypto-trading-market-trend-69d12a56">according</a> to The Wall Street Journal.
It&#8217;s also used by crypto traders and meme-stock traders who often make risky short-term bets based on momentum and steer clear of traditional ways of assessing investments. 
Brown put together a list of the top stocks used as trading vehicles by &#8220;degen&#8221; traders using platforms such as Robinhood, Stocktwits and Reddit&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/wallstreetbets">WallStreetBets</a>. The list includes high beta Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)-related names, gaming and gambling companies, AI names, space theme plays, Cathie Wood favorites and president-elect Donald Trump-related stocks.
&#8220;All the major degen food groups are represented,&#8221; Brown said. 
Here&#8217;s a look at all of the stocks that made it into the &#8220;Degen Dow.&#8221;

</ul>
Why It Matters: Brown equal-weighted the basket of stocks in the index to track performance. The index actually declined more than 80% from the highs in late 2021, but it has formed a base and appears to be breaking out to the upside with gains of nearly 50% since the start of the year. 
&#8220;Look how it&#8217;s like turning up &#8230; this thing is ripping into year-end,&#8221; Brown said, to which his co-host Michael Batnick replied, &#8220;I want to get long.&#8221;
Brown noted Nvidia and Reddit are the only two names on the list he currently owns.
