Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Market strategist Thomas Hayes from Great Hill Capital has expressed caution regarding Nvidia's (NVDA) short-term performance despite its recent rally. He believes the stock's high earnings multiple and reliance on maintaining high gross margins may not be sustainable. Hayes also expects Nvidia and other tech giants like Microsoft (MSFT) to underperform in the second half of the year, while small-cap stocks and ETFs like iShares Russell 2000 (IWM) may see better performance if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates.
