Why Nvidia stock is still the AI godfather

Surprise surprise, an Nvidia stock price beating right after a closely watched CES keynote from CEO and founder Jensen Huang. Huang sure delivered the sizzle, promising big things in robotics and AI. All of this was reinforced in a Yahoo Finance interview with Huang led by tech editor Dan Howley. Yet, investors left yearning for more – and Nvidia’s stock notched their worst day since Sept. 3 on Jan. 7. Such is the case with Nvidia where expectations of greatness are a constant. Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi chats with widely followed tech analyst Dan Ives at Wedbush. Ives was in the room at CES to watch Huang give his keynote and hype new chips and new technology, such as the use synthetic data to train machines. Did Nvidia’s stock deserve to get routed? Do Huang’s comments on delayed quantum computing usage warrant the steep pullback in quantum stocks like Rigetti Computing? Ives offers up his usual no filter views on Nvidia and the wider tech landscape.
