AMD

DARP

NACP

NVDA

AMD's AI ambitions are questioned as its stock surges, with concerns about its valuation and slower growth compared to Nvidia, which remains the preferred choice for AI applications. Despite AMD's stock rising 116% since late October, Wall Street projects slower growth and declining earnings estimates for AMD, while Nvidia's revenue is expected to jump 80% this fiscal year. Nvidia is seen as the leading near-term winner in AI, with its chips being the preferred choice and its stock trading at a more modest multiple compared to AMD. Investors can gain exposure to Nvidia through ETFs like NACP and DARP.
