Below are some of the most topical Technology Stocks on the BWI Shareholder Confidence Index based on our daily chats with global investors. If you would like more detailed shareholder conviction intelligence on Global Technology companies, please contact Gordon Peck or Youssef Ahmed.
Apple: Apple’s Ownership Penetration and Investor Conviction has declined the past few quarters and so far in 1Q in their Strategy, Management, Long Term Growth and Momentum is softening. Investors don’t see how Apple will generate the same growth as they have historically, because investors are not excited about future products such as their new Vision Pro. Investors have also highlighted that Apple is not an AI beneficiary unlike some of their other ‘Magnificent 7′ peers.
Amazon: Investor Commitment to Own Amazon has risen thus far in 1Q. Investor confidence in Amazon’s Long Term Growth, Senior Management, CFO, Balance Sheet/Capital Allocation and Price Appreciation Potential are rising in 1Q. Investors have confidence in the plan that Amazon has laid out for achieving Long Term Growth and see their advertising business as one in particular that will improve.
Broadcom: Investor Commitment to Own Broadcom continues to increase in 1Q. Broadcom’s CEO, Hock Tan, is rated by investors in the top decile in the Global Technology sector and despite it’s impressive stock performance, investors in the BWI Panel continue to see Price Appreciation Potential.
Nvidia: Nvidia continues to be one of the most topical names for Global institutional investors. So far in 1Q, investor confidence in the Strategy and Near Term Growth remain high. CEO, Jensen Huang, is rated by investors as one of the top 2 CEOs in Technology Globally. Nvidia is coming up against some difficult comps, but investors continue to be just as gushy about them as an AI beneficiary. However, with that said, there is some concern amongst investors regarding what Nvidia’s margins will look like Long Term and most importantly what future demand will be. Investor confidence in Nvidia’s Long Term Growth is lower than in their Short Term Growth.
