Tech Stocks’ Astronomical Prices – Is Now the Time to Sell?

3 years 4 months ago
Tech stocks rebounded, delivering stellar gains so far this year. For instance, shares of big tech giants like Apple ( NASDAQ:AAPL ), Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ), Alphabet ( NASDAQ:GOOGL )( NASDAQ:GOOG ), Amazon ( NASDAQ:AMZN ), Meta ( NASDAQ:META ), and Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA ) have defied the weak general market trend and are up about 39%, 41%, 43%, 49%, 126%, and 168%, respectively, on a year-to-date basis. While the rally reflects equity investors’ buoyant mood on tech stocks, Morgan Stanley’s strategist Mike Wilson anticipates the possibility of a downturn or a correction in the technology sector. Tech Stocks - The Recent Past and Near Future Contrary to the fears of a recession gripping the market in 2023, the economy has proven to be less severe than anticipated. Although the market still exhibits weakness, the expectations of easing monetary policy due to the moderation in the inflation rate, the lower valuation of tech stocks at the start of 2022, and the concerted efforts of these companies to implement cost-cutting measures have all contributed to a revival in their stock prices. Thanks to this recovery, the NASDAQ 100 Index ( NDX ), which is primarily focused on tech companies, has gained over 33% year-to-date and handily surpassed the S&P 500 ( SPX ).  Adding to the growth of these tech stocks is the evolution of  AI (Artificial Intelligence). Investors have been bullish about anything and everything related to AI. Interestingly, not only individual stocks but  tech and AI-focussed ETFs ( Exchange-Traded funds) have also seen  large inflows of cash.    While investors’ sentiment has largely been positive, Wilson maintains a bearish tone. Back in April, Wilson warned that tech stocks would not be able to sustain their recent gains. More recently, the U.S. equity strategist said that a decline in corporate earnings would lead to a correction in stocks. He expects a disappointing performance in the second-half earnings of U.S. corporations, leading to a selloff in equities.  While Wilson reiterated his bearish call on tech stocks and the broader market, let’s check out what’s on the horizon for these tech giants.  The Upside Potential Remains Low TipRanks’  Stock Comparison tool shows that the  Top Wall Street analysts are bullish about these tech stocks. All of these stocks, except for Apple, command a Strong Buy consensus rating on TipRanks. However, the upside in the shares of these companies based on analysts’ average price targets shows limited upside potential.  Nvidia, which has gained the most among these companies, is the only stock offering double-digit upside potential based on the average price target.  Moreover, investors should note that NVDA, AAPL, and MSFT stocks have recouped all of their post-pandemic losses and are trading near their all-time highs. Meanwhile, Alphabet stock has recovered most of its lost ground and has significantly outperformed the broader markets.  However, Amazon and Meta stocks have lagged the S&P 500 index over the 5-year period and are yet to recover most of their pandemic gains.  Bottom Line  The recent rally and macro uncertainty could limit the upside in tech stocks in the near term. Analysts’ average price targets also substantiate this view. While most of these stocks carry a Strong Buy consensus rating, only Apple and Nvidia stocks have the  “Perfect 10” Smart Score.  However, NVDA, with a Strong Buy consensus rating and a Perfect 10 Smart Score, appeals the most, based on TipRanks’ valuable datasets and tools.  The  chip company has benefitted a lot from the rise of generative AI and its  dominant position in that space. NVDA is poised to deliver solid growth on the back of solid demand for its AI chips. Meanwhile, autonomous driving and high-end infotainment could further support growth in the auto segment, noted  Christopher Rolland of Susquehanna. The recent surge in NVDA stock has driven its valuation higher. However, the analyst believes that its premium valuation is warranted as NVDA is well-positioned to capitalize on its growing end markets.  Disclosure

Goldman Analyst Upbeat on Apple’s Vision Pro Headset (NASDAQ:AAPL), Despite High Price

3 years 4 months ago
Apple ( NASDAQ:AAPL ), at its Worldwide Developers Conference, unveiled the much-awaited augmented reality headset – Vision Pro – for $3,499. While the fate of the headset is yet to be determined as the product will not be available until early next year, the device's high price might affect its early adoption, says Goldman Sachs analyst  Mike Ng. Nonetheless, the analyst is bullish about the product’s long-term prospects. After a long hiatus, the headset marks the tech giant’s entry into a new major product category. While the device's announcement was largely anticipated, its higher price came as a surprise.  Apple Vision Pro Price The analyst is upbeat about the prospects of the product and the Vision Pro app ecosystem and expects it to contribute meaningfully to  Apple’s financials in the long term.  However, he noted that the retail price of $3,499 is higher than Goldman Sachs’ estimate of $3K. Thus, the analyst believes that the higher retail price point might “limit near-term adoption.” The analyst added that his hypothetical model assumes Apple will ship five million headsets in Fiscal 2024. Moreover, it would ship 8-13 million units between Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2028.  Will Apple Vision Pro Bring Profit to Apple? Coming to the financial impact, the analyst’s hypothetical model assumes that the device could bring in $13-$25 billion in annual sales between Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2028. In addition, he expects the product to “breakeven to LSD% (low single-digit percentage) EPS accretion over time as Product gross margins scale and higher margin Services contribute.” The AR (Augmented Reality)/VR (Virtual Reality) segment has been challenging for most companies and disappointing so far. However, the analyst sees Apple succeeding in the AR/VR industry with its headsets. He expects AAPL to benefit from its large iPhone user base, a solid “track record of success in consumer hardware,” compelling content, and robust features. What’s the Prediction for Apple Stock? Apple stock has gained nearly 39% year-to-date, thanks to the solid demand for products and strength in services revenue. Despite the recent gains, AAPL stock sports a Strong Buy consensus rating with 22 Buy, five Hold, and one Sell recommendations.  However, due to the recent appreciation in AAPL stock, analysts' average price target of $184.89 implies 2.96% upside potential.  According to TipRanks’ data,  Krish Sankar of TD Cowen is the most accurate analyst for Apple stock. Copying Sankar’s trades on AAPL stock and holding each position for one year could result in 96% of your transactions generating a profit, with an average return of 51% per trade. Disclosure
