Nvidia Won't Be This Cheap Forever

Summary Nvidia Corporation remains a Strong Buy, with accelerating growth, expanding margins, and a valuation still at a discount to sector peers.

NVDA's Q2 guidance implies 95% YoY revenue growth and further gross margin expansion, while risks include China market loss and U.S. energy infrastructure constraints.

Skyworks: The Discount Is Too Wide For The Catalysts Ahead

Summary I rate Skyworks Solutions a Buy with a $116 price target, reflecting 53% upside potential from current levels. My growth drivers are the premium Android win, which helps reduce the one-customer mobile concern; then the Broad Markets give SWKS a better mix, and Qorvo adds scale and synergy potential. My valuation uses $6.03 of FWD EPS and a 19.16x FWD non-GAAP P/E multiple, which sits between SWKS' historical 13.4x multiple and the broader peer level of about 24.92x. The key risks are customer concentration, a slower mobile recovery, Qorvo integration risk, and the possibility that investors keep applying a depressed multiple until reported growth improves.
