Wall Street issued new research Monday on the three tech Club holdings, with bullish recommendations for Amazon ( AMZN ), Apple ( APPL ) and Nvidia ( NVDA ). Amazon analyst’s take: Wells Fargo called for normalization in brick-and-mortar and e-commerce growth trajectories, highlighting Amazon in a note on e-commerce dynamics. “Now we have rolled the worst [ecommerce] analysts noted in a note that Amazon could become an overinvested force during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. “We’ve seen signs that AMZN is using its ability to attack and expand,” analysts note [third-party] “The Club’s Take: Over the past year, as the pandemic subsides, shoppers have moved back from e-commerce to brick-and-mortar stores, and online outlets like Amazon have seen a decline in demand. Normalizing growth rates indicate that the trend has peaked. If demand picks up. If e-commerce is back on track, then Amazon is getting an opportunity to leverage the warehouse investments it made at the height of the pandemic. There are also good reasons to believe the worst of the fundamental pressure on the business is over. , the upside may be limited. Apple analyst says: “After years of slow progress, online use of Apple Pay appears to be on the upswing,” analysts at Bernstein wrote in a note. The mobile payment service, which launched eight years ago, has struggled to gain traction, but Bernstein now thinks it has “reached a tipping point in terms of consumer adoption and merchant adoption.” he banking analysts point to the growth of in-person contactless payments as helping to drive the adoption of Apply Pay. Club take: While Apple Pay’s increased adoption is good news, given that analysts peg payment services revenue at less than 0.2% of company sales and less than 1% of service revenue, this update is unlikely to hit the nail on the head. stock. But the adoption makes clear that Apple’s ecosystem is pervasive in our daily lives, and Apple’s ability to leverage it for additional revenue streams — whether it’s financial, medical, or entertainment. As a result, we maintain our “hold, don’t trade” mantra, confident that long-term investors will continue to be rewarded, even if slower iPhone sales pressure the company in the short term. Nvidia analyst says: “NVIDIA is the accelerated leader [computing] and the key opportunity for AI in vertical industries – full stop,” Cowen analysts wrote in a research note. They argued that the chipmaker is facing “headwinds including a major game reset, Chinese AI bans and inventory write-offs.” [are] It’s all behind us.” According to them, 2023 will be characterized by several strong product cycles, and as a result, Nvidia is their “best idea” for the new year. The stock should benefit from significant strength in the company’s back-end data center. Along with new chips, “in-game channel normalization early signs open up opportunities for a return to growth in this business.” Club’s take: Although we are hesitant to be confident that the headwinds mentioned are behind us. At this time, we agree with Nvidia’s leadership position in accelerated computing and artificial intelligence. Also in the first half of next year We expect most of the headwinds to fade. As a result, we don’t see a rush to buy the stock, especially given the nearly 52% jump in the stock since its October 2022 low. We expect patience to be rewarded and 2023 to be a better year for the company.
