Right. So, everyone’s talking about AI. It’s the future, apparently. The thing is, ‘the future’ has a habit of arriving late, bringing a slightly disappointing brochure and a hefty bill. Still, I’ve been looking at these AI stocks, Nvidia and Broadcom, and… well, it’s complicated. I mean, I want to be optimistic. I really do. It’s just that my default setting is ‘mildly terrified of everything.’
Units of Cryptocurrency Lost: 12. Hours Spent Watching Charts: 9. Number of Panicked Texts to Friends: 24. It’s a work in progress, this whole ‘investing’ thing. But the hype around AI is… insistent. And the numbers, admittedly, are hard to ignore. Apparently, less than 20% of businesses are actually using AI right now. Which feels… low? Like, shouldn’t it be higher? It’s either a massive opportunity or a sign that everyone else knows something I don’t.
Nvidia and Broadcom seem to be positioned to benefit from this potential AI explosion. Nvidia makes the graphics processing units (GPUs), which are apparently essential for all this AI wizardry. Broadcom, meanwhile, partners directly with the big tech companies to create customized chips. It’s all very technical. I mostly nod and pretend I understand. They’re both chasing the same market, which feels a bit… crowded? But apparently there’s enough room for both of them. Which is reassuring. Sort of.
McKinsey & Company reckons data center spending could hit $7 trillion by 2030. That’s… a lot of money. Even I can tell that’s a lot of money. Nvidia is even more bullish, predicting $3 to $4 trillion annually. They probably know more than McKinsey. They’re in the business. Still, it feels… ambitious. I’m trying to be positive, honestly. I’m just… cautious. It’s a genetic trait, I think.
The Numbers, Frankly, Are a Bit Intimidating
Nvidia’s revenue rose 73% last year. Seventy-three percent! It’s… unsettling. Like, what if it stops? What if it goes down? I’m trying not to think about that. But Broadcom actually did better. Their AI semiconductor business grew 106%. One hundred and six percent! It’s all happening so fast. I need a lie-down.
Broadcom expects its AI chip business to deliver over $100 billion in revenue by 2027. One hundred billion! It’s just… numbers. Meaningless, terrifying numbers. If they actually achieve that, the stock should do well. Which is good. I suppose. They’re predicting 140% growth in their custom AI chip business next year. It’s all very… aggressive. I’m starting to feel a bit breathless.
Nvidia is still a force to be reckoned with, despite Broadcom’s rapid growth. They have a firm grip on the AI training chip market. They’re not factoring in any potential sales to China, which feels… sensible. China is always a bit unpredictable. If they do start selling there, the stock could go even higher. Which is… potentially good. But also potentially terrifying.
So, both stocks seem well-positioned to benefit from all this AI spending. I think they could generate good returns for shareholders. But I’m not promising anything. The market is a fickle beast. And I’m just a slightly anxious observer. I’m trying to be optimistic. I really am. But I’m also preparing for the worst. Just in case. It’s a perfectly reasonable strategy, isn’t it?
