Nasdaq, S&P futures flat after Nvidia's results

Published On Aug 29, 2024, 5:26 AM

The Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a record high, fueled by strong U.S. economic data indicating robust consumer spending, which reduces recession fears. In contrast, Nvidia's stock fell over 6% due to a disappointing revenue forecast, which did not meet investors' heightened expectations. Other tech stocks showed mixed results with Apple rising 1.5% after being selected as a top pick for AI investments, and CrowdStrike gaining 2.8% after exceeding revenue estimates. Overall, the markets displayed cautious signs with expectations for potential interest rate cuts.

Stock Forecasts

With Nvidia’s disappointing forecast dragging its stock down, and considering the potential for further corrections in AI-related stocks, investors may want to be cautious with Nvidia. However, the overall tech sector still shows promise due to ongoing AI advancements and investments. Therefore, Nvidia is forecasted to face further downward pressures in the short term as investor confidence wavers.

Due to recent positive analyst sentiments and rising interest in AI technology, Apple is poised for continued growth. The company’s involvement with OpenAI and its strong market position in AI solutions could boost its stock in the near term.
