Attention, Nvidia Shareholders: 1 Crucial Thing to Watch in the Second Half
Key Points Nvidia, after early headwinds, finished the first half of the year with a gain. The company reached a new milestone in recent days, one that could set the tone for share performance in the second half. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › The first half was a bit of a roller coaster ride for Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) shareholders. The stock slid almost 30% from the start of the year to early April amid a variety of concerns -- from the future of artificial intelligence (AI) spending to worries that President Trump's import tariffs would weigh on the economy and corporate earnings. Meanwhile, the company continued to launch its new Blackwell platform and delivered double-digit quarterly revenue growth. The message for future prospects is bright too, with Nvidia speaking of soaring demand in the area of AI inference and launching projects abroad such as the building of AI infrastructure in Abu Dhabi. All of this, along with an easing of international trade tensions, prompted investors to return to growth stocks, and one of their top picks has been Nvidia -- the stock finished the first half with a 17% gain. Now, as we head into the second half of the year, you may be wondering how Nvidia will fare -- here's one crucial element to watch. Nvidia's success story Nvidia has built an amazing success story over the years, transforming itself from a company that mainly served the video gaming market to one that's at the center of one of today's highest growth industries. The graphic processing unit (GPU) still is integral to video games, but Nvidia -- thanks to sales of GPUs and related products and services -- today generates most of its revenue from AI customers. For example, in the latest quarter, data center revenue made up 88% of total revenue. This AI giant entered the AI market in its earliest days and aggressively built an empire. Today, selling the world's top-performing GPUs, Nvidia dominates the AI chip market and has pledged to update its chips -- and often complete architecture -- on an annual basis. It launched this annual rhythm with the Blackwell architecture and chip in the fourth quarter of last year -- the rollout went smoothly, Nvidia maintained gross margin in its forecast range, and Blackwell delivered $11 billion in revenue during its first quarter of commercialization. That represented a successful start to this fast-paced innovation plan, and this brings me to the point to watch now -- a new milestone for Nvidia -- as the second half begins. Nvidia's next launch is Blackwell Ultra, and it's already started as cloud player CoreWeave just announced the availability of the platform. CoreWeave now is offering customers access to GB300 NVL72, a system that's a step up from the original Blackwell and a leap from the Hopper architecture -- that was the main Nvidia architecture in use before the original Blackwell launch this winter. GB300 NVL72 may provide a fiftyfold jump in output for reasoning model inference compared to Hopper. A new product launch Now, the point to watch is this Blackwell Ultra rollout, with special attention to demand and whether the process is smooth or not. And once earnings season rolls around, it will be important to look at sales figures as well as gross margin. If this latest update mirrors the Blackwell launch, investors may have something to cheer about -- and we'll have reason to be optimistic about the next chip launches too. Nvidia will have proved its ability to successfully handle frequent chip releases and maintain strong growth and profitability on sales. If there's a glitch along the way or if Nvidia misses a financial goal, then it will be important to dig deeper and examine whether this was just a one-time problem or something that could persist through the next product launches. This is crucial for Nvidia because its market leadership depends on this ability to innovate and successfully roll out a new product. Demand for Blackwell this winter, with it exceeding supply at certain moments, shows us customers are eager to get their hands on the next Nvidia innovation. That's positive, but Nvidia must smoothly deliver on promises in order to keep this momentum going. So far, with the Blackwell launch as a reference point, there's reason to be optimistic. And if Nvidia scores a win with the Blackwell Ultra launch too, the company could see its stock continue to march higher in the second half. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now? Before you buy stock in Nvidia, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Nvidia wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

Samsung projects large drop in second-quarter profit as it faced U.S. AI chip curbs on China
Samsung Electronics SSNLF projected a 56-per-cent drop in second-quarter operating profit from a year earlier, far worse than analysts expected as its struggling chip business faced U.S. chip curbs on China. The world's largest memory chipmaker blamed the profit miss mainly on its Device Solutions (DS) division, which houses its chip business. 'The DS Division recorded a quarter-on-quarter decline in profit due to inventory value adjustments and the impact of U.S. restrictions on advanced AI chips for China,' Samsung said in a statement. The memory business took a hit from one-off costs such as inventory value adjustments, though Samsung added that its improved high-bandwidth memory (HBM) products were undergoing customer evaluation and proceeding with shipments. Its artificial intelligence chips business was dogged by delays in the supply of its latest products to Nvidia NVDA-Q and continued losses in its contract chip manufacturing business, analysts said. Samsung estimated an operating profit of 4.6-trillion won ($4.6-billion) for the April-June period, versus a 6.2-trillion won ($6.2-billion) LSEG SmartEstimate. That would compare with 10.4-trillion won ($10.3-billion) in the same period a year earlier and 6.7-trillion won ($6.7-billion) in the preceding quarter. Revenue would likely fall 0.1 per cent to 74-trillion won ($73.5-billion) from a year earlier, the filing showed. Samsung is expected to release detailed results including a breakdown of earnings for each of its businesses in late July.

2 Hot AI Stocks to Sell Before They Fall 25%, According to Wall Street Analysts
Key Points AI stocks have soared in the last year, making some of them overvalued. Palantir has an extreme price-to-sales ratio that makes it a dangerous stock to own. is a struggling business being propped up by an AI narrative. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › Everyone has fallen in love with artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, and for good reason. But that does not mean investors should buy stakes in these companies and ignore valuation, which always matters in the long run. Plenty of AI stocks have soared by three-figure percentages in the last year. This makes them dangerous to buy if you ignore fundamental analysis. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) and (NYSE: BBAI) are two hyped AI stocks that are up big in the last year. Wall Street analysts -- who typically give aggressive price targets -- have consensus targets for both stocks that are 25% below where they trade today. Here's why investors who own Palantir and should sell right now. Palantir's extreme valuation Palantir is one of the fastest growing software and AI businesses in the world. It works with governments, large organizations, and big businesses to organize and analyze reams of data using AI. This has led to some tremendous growth. Last quarter, its total revenue rose 39% year over year to $884 million. U.S. revenue grew 55%, while U.S. commercial revenue grew an astonishing 71% year over year, which shows how fast AI applications are growing in this country. Palantir is also highly profitable, generating 20% operating margins last quarter, or $176 million in operating income. Investors have fallen in love with the stock. It's up almost 400% in the last 12 months, crushing the market averages and making shareholders wealthier. Today, it trades at a market cap of $317 billion, making it one of the largest companies in the world by market capitalization. Wall Street is now cautious about Palantir's prospects, with a price target of $107.90 compared to the current share price (at the time of this writing) of around $135. I believe the downside may be even more severe in the years to come. Palantir's stock trades at a price-to-sales ratio (P/S) of 107, which puts unsustainable expectations on the future growth of the business. Why? Let's do some quick math to illustrate. The company's trailing revenue is $3.11 billion. Even if it can multiply its revenue tenfold over the next 10 years -- a scenario that is unlikely unless you are extremely optimistic about its prospects -- it will be doing around $31 billion in revenue a decade from now. If Palantir generates 30% profit margins in 10 years, that will equate to around $10 billion in annual earnings, or a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) above 30 compared to the current market cap (P/E takes market cap and divides by earnings). This makes the shares extremely overvalued. Even if the most optimistic growth scenario plays out, the stock will likely not be much higher in 10 years' time. Sell it at its P/S ratio above 100. BBAI PS ratio, data by YCharts. Burning cash flow and low growth With AI in its name, has been a thematic stock for investors. It is up even more than Palantir in the last year, for a 441% gain for shareholders at the time of this writing. Analysts have a consensus price target of $5.83 compared to its present price of $7.75. The company offers AI-powered decision guidance for businesses. That is eerily similar to Palantir and is something that investors are falling head over heels to put into their portfolios today. With a P/S of 12, is not nearly as extreme as Palantir at 107. However, the business looks a lot weaker than its competitor. Revenue growth is slow. Last quarter, sales increased only 5% to $34.8 million. Margins are weak: Gross margin is only 21.3% compared to the typical software/digital company above 50% or more. Free cash flow was a negative $42 million over the last 12 months and has never been positive. is barely growing even during a time when the AI industry is expanding like gangbusters. This indicates to me that the company is not a leader in its space and is struggling versus the competition. Combined with low profit margins and negative free cash flow, it's a sell after its meteoric rise in the last 12 months. Should you invest $1,000 in Palantir Technologies right now? Before you buy stock in Palantir Technologies, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Palantir Technologies wasn't one of them.
