Episode 116: Top AI Data Center Stock 2024 – Is PureStorage (PSTG) Stock Still a Buy?

Pure Storage (PSTG), known for its all-flash storage solutions, has shown notable growth this year. Thank AI in part, but also due to its successful subscription-based data center storage model. Despite a slight revenue miss for fiscal year 2024, the company's subscription-based revenues and higher profit margins signal strong future potential in the years ahead. Nick and Kasey’s discussion also covers Pure Storage's role in AI and data centers, its competitive edge, and how its subscriptions smoothe out revenue peaks and valleys. Is PureStorage stock still a top buy for 2024 and beyond? Make sure you subscribe for more great content.

Episode 115: DigitalOcean Stock – A Top Bet On AI For Small Businesses?

DigitalOcean (DOCN) is under new leadership. CEO Paddy Srinivasan is now at the helm. His focus is getting DigitalOcean back into growth mode, using the Paperspace AI acquisition from last summer. DigitalOcean has positioned itself within the cloud infrastructure market, especially for developers and small businesses looking for easy-to-use and affordable tools. Chip Stock Investors Nick and Kasey believe that generative AI has potential to change digital workflows beyond simply disrupting Google Search, and discuss how DigitalOcean may be able to participate in that large and growing market with its strengths. That said, this is a small business, and thus it’s part of Chip Stock Investor’s diversified basket of small-cap stocks. Nevertheless, the company has done well enough that it’s still worth watching closely. Stay tuned for our upcoming look at PureStorage, and a semiconductor manufacturing equipment and chip packaging equipment industry market flow manual! 👉👉Want to Become the Ultimate Chip Stock Investor Insider?

Episode 114: Is The Top AI Software Stock Being Overlooked? Broadcom And VMware Team Up For Ai Dominance

In this episode of Chip Stock Investor, Nick and Kasey pick up where they left off from Broadcom’s Enabling AI Infrastructure event and dive into Broadcom's big strides in AI infrastructure software, focusing on its recent acquisition of cloud software giant VMware. Broadcom’s biggest customers are scaling up their data centers with hardware, but they’ll need the software to operate that new infrastructure. Nick and Kasey explain the company’s approach to software, its partnership with Nvidia last year so VMware users can operate GPUs in AI training and inference, and recent moves made by management to pay off the debt taken on the purchase of VMware. The video explores why Broadcom could be a top software investment in the years ahead as new accelerated computing chips and infrastructure get installed in data centers, as well as a look at valuation and expectations the market has for Broadcom.

Episode 110: Nvidia, In Defense of FOMO, Oracle Stock and Quantum Computing and Sovereign AI

In this video, Chip Stock Investor discusses the concept of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) in investing, particularly defending its strategic value in the tech industry, while cautioning against its excesses. Nick and Kasey emphasize the importance of moderating investor behavior to avoid extreme market sentiment swings – in both directions – and highlight the booming AI trend that may have taken some investors by surprise. Specifically, we explore Oracle's growth and strategic positioning, thanks to its partnership with NVIDIA, in cloud computing and AI infrastructure services. Oracle's successful use of NVIDIA technology in enhancing its cloud services and infrastructure is showcased, along with a detailed discussion on Oracle's financial performance and future prospects in related markets like sovereign AI and quantum computing development. Finally, we discuss one of our keys to smart investing for the long-term. Access to all of our show notes and slides can be found on the Ko-Fi Shop, or via a subscription to our Discord server. And stay tuned later this week for more about semiconductor manufacturing, including part of Nvidia’s breakthrough with the new Blackwell GPU accelerated computing platform. 👉👉Want more Chip Stock Investor?

Episode 109: Is Snowflake Stock A Buy Now (SNOW)

Nvidia (NVDA) has been all the rage, but at Chip Stock Investor we’ve been perfectly content to watch Snowflake (SNOW) stock from the sidelines – albeit with an active commentary – since the hot IPO of 2020. Instead, we rode the wave passively via Salesforce’s and Berkshire Hathaway’s participation in the Snowflake offering. But now that Snowflake stock has been beaten up again, Chip Stock Investor is getting interested. In this video, Nick and Kasey give a high-level rundown of the business, the recent issues that hit the stock price, the current valuation, and when Nvidia’s AI infrastructure boom might trickle down to the data software platform. And related to this video, also see our video on software and the “infinitely scalable business model” from last year: https://youtu.be/gMd8vsGoBq8 Stay tuned for four more deep dives into businesses in the coming weeks: Oracle, Broadcom, PureStorage, and DigitalOcean.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the new Blackwell “GPU platform” for all things AI at the company’s annual GTC 2024 event, and it didn’t disappoint. But for investors unfamiliar with chips and accelerated computing systems, all of the products used to build these massive AI factories can be confusing. Chip Stock Investors Nick and Kasey are here to break down all the pieces that make up a Blackwell “GPU,” and explain how the largely overlooked acquisition of Mellanox (announced in 2019) paved the way for Nvidia’s dominance today. Access to all of our show notes and slides can be found on the Ko-Fi Shop, or via a subscription to our Discord server.

Episode 107: The Secret AI War, and Japan's Renesas A Top Stock For 2024?

There’s a secret AI war brewing. In this episode of Chip Stock Investor’s mini-series on Japan's revitalized semiconductor industry, we focus on integrated device manufacturer Renesas' efforts to bolster its position in the global chip market. Besides resurrecting closed factories and entering significant supply and collaboration deals, Renesas' acquisition spree aimed at expanding its capabilities in semiconductor design and AI inference – especially the recently announced purchase of Altium – are of particular interest. We also discuss the broader semiconductor manufacturing scene in Japan, how that shifts the dynamics in future AI training and inference chip demand, and the implications of electronic design automation (EDA) acquisitions for the future of AI technologies. Our video underscores the strategic consolidations in the EDA market, positioning Renesas as a key player in the impending AI inference expansion.
