Semiconductor and hardware stocks are trading lower after a Wall Street Journal report revealed that Chinese buyers have been ordering Nvidia chips despite U.S. restrictions. Additionally, President Trump confirmed Mar. 4 tariffs, which could drive further trade uncertainty.

Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) shares are trading higher Monday following reports suggesting NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) are performing manufacturing tests <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44070969/former-intel-ceo-craig-barrett-warns-that-splitting-the-company-would-be-a-costly-mistake-a-far-better-move-might-be-to-fire-the-intel-board-and-rehire-pat-gelsinger">with the company</a>.
What To Know: Chip designers Nvidia and Broadcom have been doing manufacturing testing with Intel&#8217;s 18A manufacturing process, suggesting the chipmaker could be in the running for manufacturing contracts, per Reuters.
Sources familiar with the matter reportedly said the pair of tests indicate the companies are getting closer to making a decision on manufacturing. Intel has not yet announced a prominent chip designer customer, so any announcement involving Nvidia or Broadcom could be huge for Intel. Intel shares surged in early trading before pulling back. The stock was last up about 1%.
The report indicates that Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) is also evaluating whether Intel&#8217;s manufacturing process will be the best path forward. It&#8217;s not clear if AMD has engaged in any testing with Intel to date.
&#8220;We don&#8217;t comment on specific customers but continue to see strong interest and engagement on Intel 18A across our ecosystem,&#8221; an Intel spokesperson reportedly said.

Intel&#8217;s 18A manufacturing process is capable of producing advanced AI processors and complex chips. Testing can take months to complete. The report indicates that it&#8217;s not clear when the tests began.
Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger announced his retirement in December after reportedly being forced out by the board. Intel shares are up nearly 20% year-to-date on hopes the company could lean into more aggressive strategy changes under new leadership.
INTC Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/intc">Intel shares</a> initially surged above the $25 level in early trading before pulling back. The stock was up 0.65% at $23.90 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

What's Going On With Intel Stock Monday?

On Monday, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)) pulled ahead of Elon Musk's Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) in market value, showing just how much earnings matter in the stock market.&nbsp;
According to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2025/02/24/berkshire-hathaway-stock-rises-4-to-new-record-making-warren-buffett-6-billion-richer/">Forbes</a>, Berkshire's stock climbed 4.1%, pushing its market cap to about $1.08 trillion, while Tesla's shares slipped 2.2%, bringing its valuation down to roughly $1.04 trillion. That swap placed Berkshire in the seventh spot on the S&amp;P 500, nudging Tesla down to eighth.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Behind the Market Shift?</h2>
Berkshire's rise comes on the back of a <a href="https://berkshirehathaway.com/news/feb2225.pdf">strong fourth-quarter</a>. The company posted $14.52 billion in pretax profit—far exceeding Wall Street's $12 billion estimate.&nbsp;
It also wrapped up 2024 with a staggering $334 billion in cash reserves, up from $325 billion the previous quarter, according to <a href="https://www.cashreview.com/2025/02/23/berkshire-operating-earnings-surge-71-in-fourth-quarter-cash-hoard-balloons-to-record-334-billion/">Cashreview</a>. With those solid numbers, investors are betting on Berkshire's steady hand.
Tesla, on the other hand, had a rougher earnings season. Fourth-quarter EPS landed at $0.73, missing the expected $0.77. <a href="https://www.theblock.co/amp/post/337873/tesla-sees-600-million-gain-from-bitcoin-in-q4">Dig a little deeper</a>, and a portion of that came from bitcoin gains, making its core earnings look even weaker.&nbsp;
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> you can become an investor for $0.80 per share today.</a>
Since its Jan 29. <a href="https://digitalassets.tesla.com/tesla-contents/image/upload/IR/TSLA-Q4-2024-Update.pdf">earnings report</a>, Tesla's stock has tumbled around 15%, and analysts have cut their 2025 earnings estimates from $3.30 per share to $2.90, according to<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/"> </a><a href="https://www.investors.com/news/tesla-stock-price-target-cut/">Investors Business Daily</a>.
Despite the dip, Tesla's long-term backers still believe in its self-driving technology, upcoming EV models, and AI-powered robotics. But the recent stock movement makes it clear: even visionary companies need strong earnings to keep investors happy.
Tesla is also feeling the heat from competition, especially in Europe. Its sales in the region dropped 45% in January, with only 10,000 vehicles sold—while the overall European EV market grew 37%, according to <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/tesla-sales-slid-by-nearly-50-across-europe-at-the-start-of-2025-e971fe93">MarketWatch</a>. Chinese automakers, offering cheaper and more tech-packed EVs, are making gains in the market.
And then there's Tesla's public image. Musk's political ties—including his association with the Trump administration—have stirred controversy, with some consumers even calling for boycotts. While Tesla still dominates the EV space, shifts in consumer sentiment could have lasting effects.

Berkshire and Tesla are both part of the exclusive trillion-dollar club, alongside Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>, GOOG)), and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>).&nbsp;
These companies now account for roughly $18.2 trillion, or 34% of the S&amp;P 500's total market value. If Broadcom (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) regains its trillion-dollar status, that share could jump to 36%, according to <a href="https://www.barrons.com/articles/warren-buffett-elon-musk-stock-76cfe6cf">Barrons</a>.
Most of these giants are betting big on AI, but Berkshire stands out as an outlier. Unlike its trillion-dollar peers, its strength comes from diversification rather than heavy investments in tech.&nbsp;

Berkshire Hathaway Hits $1.07 Trillion Market Cap, Surpassing Tesla – Earnings Shock and Tesla's Decline Highlight Changing Markets

According to a Reuters report, Nvidia&nbsp;Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&nbsp;and Broadcom&nbsp;Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) are <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/intel" rel="noreferrer noopener">running manufacturing tests</a> with Intel Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) 18A process, signifying potential upside for the U.S. struggling chipmaker.
Intel&#8217;s 18A process can make advanced artificial intelligence processors and other complex chips and competes with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) technology, which dominates the global chip market, Reuters cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter. Intel stock gained Monday after the report.

The tests reflect the companies&#8217; exploration of plans to commit hundreds of millions of dollars worth of manufacturing contracts to Intel.
Apparently, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)&nbsp;is also considering using Intel&#8217;s 18A manufacturing process for its needs.
An Intel spokesperson told Reuters that Intel enjoyed higher interest and engagement on Intel 18A.
Intel&#8217;s struggling business has attracted the attention of the U.S. administration. The Donald Trump administration recently met with Taiwan Semiconductor chief C.C. Wei and discussed the Taiwanese contract chipmaker&#8217;s acquisition of a majority stake in a joint venture in Intel&#8217;s factory unit.
Meanwhile, Intel said it bagged deals with Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)&nbsp;and Amazon.com&nbsp;Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)&nbsp;to produce chips on 18A.
Intel stock plunged 48% in the last 12 months as it failed to capitalize on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42344006/intel-interim-co-chief-expects-ceo-to-have-foundry-experience-stands-by-forecast" rel="noreferrer noopener">the AI frenzy</a>, which cost its CEO Pat Gelsinger positions.
The chipmaker had named CFO David Zinsner and general manager of Intel&#8217;s Client Computing Group Michelle Johnston Holthaus&nbsp;as interim co-CEOs&nbsp;while the board hunted for a new CEO.
Price Action: INTC stock is up 0.55% at $23.86 at the last check on Monday.

Intel Gains Traction With 18A Process As Nvidia, Broadcom Consider Manufacturing Contracts

Stocks fell broadly on Monday to start the month of March with all three major indices red in midday trading. Investors digested a decline in February's ISM Manufacturing PMI data which fell to 50.3%, down <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44081294/tariffs-weigh-on-us-manufacturing-february-prices-grow-at-fastest-pace-since-2022">from 50.9% in January.&nbsp;</a>
Overall demand weakened in February, new orders and employment contracted and production growth decelerated sharply. The impact of new tariffs drove prices higher at the fastest pace since June 2022,&nbsp; according to Trading Economics. Additional tariffs are set to go into effect on Tuesday, dampening investor sentiment.&nbsp;

Tesla Rebounds While Tariffs Weigh On Manufacturing: What's Driving Markets Monday?

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">The AI boom</a> continues to reshape the semiconductor landscape, and two key players — Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) and Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) — are gearing up for their latest earnings reports.
With AI infrastructure spending accelerating and hyperscalers ramping custom silicon deployments, both companies stand to benefit. However, with distinct strategies and product roadmaps, the battle for AI dominance is heating up. 
Let's break down what's at stake for each ahead of their earnings results.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Marvell: Riding The AI Networking Wave</h2>
Marvell reports its fourth quarter earnings on March 5 after the bell, and expectations are sky-high. JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur forecasts January quarter revenue of $1.9 billion. That&#8217;s ahead of the $1.801 billion consensus, with April quarter guidance expected to surpass $2 billion.
AI momentum remains the key driver, particularly with the Trainium 2 ASIC ramp at AWS and increasing demand for 800G/1.6T AI optical networking products. Sur expects AI revenues to more than double this year, exceeding $3.5 billion. While competition looms with Amazon.com Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) next-gen 3nm AI ASIC, Marvell's multi-generational partnership with AWS keeps it well-positioned for growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Broadcom: Prepping For A Major 2H AI Surge</h2>
Broadcom reports first quarter earnings on March 6, with Sur expecting a solid beat. He projects January quarter revenue of $14.7 billion, slightly ahead of consensus ($14.6 billion). While April quarter guidance may be flattish to slightly up at $14.7–$14.9 billion, Broadcom's AI business is gearing up for a significant second-half ramp.
The TPU v6 3nm training chip with Alphabet Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Google is set to drive a sharp revenue increase, with AI revenues projected to cross $17 billion in FY25, a 40%+ year-over-year jump.
AI networking and custom ASICs remain the core catalysts, alongside Broadcom's VMware integration, which unlocks additional growth avenues.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The AI Showdown: Who Comes Out On Top?</h2>
Sur remains bullish on both stocks, calling them top picks in AI infrastructure. With hyperscalers doubling down on custom ASIC adoption and AI networking demand accelerating, Marvell and Broadcom are poised for strong years ahead. 
As the earnings showdown unfolds, investors will be watching to see which chip giant cements its lead in the AI race.

Marvell Vs. Broadcom: AI Arms Race Heats Up Ahead Of Earnings

U.S. stock futures rose on Monday following Friday&#8217;s advances. Futures of all fourth benchmark indices rose in premarket trading.
Investor anxiety over tariffs loomed as the March 4 deadline for tariff imposition on Mexico and Canada neared. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6369522376112">told</a> Fox News on Sunday that President Donald Trump would decide if the government will stick to its plan to levy 25%. 
Also, China will be charged an additional 10% tariff on Tuesday, as highlighted by Trump in his Truth Social post. Furthermore, reports suggested that Mexico may agree to raise tariffs on Chinese goods to avoid the duties threatened by Trump.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) will report earnings this week.
Treasury yields slipped on Monday. The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.25%, while the two-year yield was at 4.03%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is a 95% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting.

Cues From The Last Session
Information technology, financial, and consumer discretionary sectors led the charge as U.S. stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/03/44069254/nasdaq-jumps-300-points-as-nvidia-tesla-stocks-surge-investor-sentiment-improves-but-greed-index-remains-in-extreme-fear-zone">closed higher</a> on Friday. Ultimately, all sectors within the S&amp;P 500 finished the day with gains. 
The tech sector, in particular, rebounded strongly from Thursday&#8217;s losses, with Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) surging 4% and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) climbing 3.9%.
Further bolstering investor sentiment was the release of PCE data, which showed the price index declining for the first time in four months. This data reinforced expectations, as indicated by the CME FedWatch tool, for approximately two quarter-point cuts to the Fed funds rate in 2025 after June.
The Dow Jones closed 601 points or 1.39% higher at 43,840.91 on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.59% to 5,954.50, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.63% to 18,847.28. The small-cap gauge Russell 200 advanced 1.09% to 2,163.07.

Insights From Analysts
Ahead of the first trading day in the new month of March, Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research, highlighted that this is &#8220;a solid month overall&#8221; but the bulls start to show up only after mid-month.

Mapping the historical data 1950 onwards, Detrick added that March, April, and May are usually solid months in post-election years.

Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates suggests that the S&amp;P 500, currently riding a &#8220;very strong rally,&#8221; is due for a correction towards its rising 200-day moving average, which stood at 5701.50 as of last Friday.
According to Navellier, the index has yet to test this key moving average which did not happen in 2024, making a pullback increasingly likely. He says that the timing of this correction, whether in February or March, hinges on &#8220;multiple policy announcements by the White House,&#8221; which can be triggered by either economic or geopolitical events.
Navellier contends that the White House has been the &#8220;primary driver of volatility in stocks,&#8221; making short-term predictions difficult. He further asserts that this deliberate uncertainty serves the President&#8217;s strategic objectives.

US Stocks Likely To Open Higher As Wall Street Watches Trump Tariff Talks: 'March, April, May Tend To Be Solid Months In Post-Election Years,' Says Expert

In a recent analysis by Morningstar, it was revealed that despite their impressive performance over the past decade, three of the biggest wealth-creating stocks are still considered undervalued.
What Happened: Morningstar portfolio strategist Amy Arnott identified the top stocks that have generated the most value for investors over the past decade. 
The list includes big names like NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), all of which have created over $1 trillion in shareholder value, reports <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-picks-biggest-wealth-creators-decade-cheap-morningstar-2025-3">the</a> Insider. 
Despite their significant value creation, Arnott found that three of these stocks &#8211; Microsoft Corp., Alphabet Inc., UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) &#8211; are currently trading at a discount to their fair value estimates, making them potentially attractive buys for long-term investors.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43756824/market-instability-looms-in-trumps-second-term-warns-paul-tudor-jones-theres-no-room-for-mistakes">Market Instability Looms in Trump&#8217;s Second Term, Warns Paul Tudor Jones: &#8216;There&#8217;s No Room for Mistakes&#8217;</a>
Microsoft, known for its AI innovation and cloud computing platform Azure, is expected to continue its profitability and efficient capital expenditure. Alphabet, another major player in the cloud computing space, is anticipated to see revenue growth from its AI-driven search engine and YouTube business. 
UnitedHealth Group, despite recent controversies, is believed to be undervalued based on its operating profits.
Why It Matters: Arnott&#8217;s analysis suggests that these stocks, with their wide economic moats and potential for long-term benefits, could be good starting points for investors seeking long-term investments. 
The undervaluation of these stocks, despite their significant value creation, presents a potential opportunity for investors to buy into these companies at a discount. 
This could lead to significant returns in the long run, especially considering the strong market positions and innovative technologies that these companies possess.

$21 Trillion Wealth-Creating Stocks Are Still Undervalued — Three Big Bargains To Buy Now

<img alt="price to book PB ratio ratio compare stock price valuation with company real assets book value or equity vector" class="article-image-one" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20250226103542_3-stocks-with-triple-digit-pes-that-are-still-wort.jpg" style="height:515px; width:1200px" />
The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is one of the most commonly used metrics to determine whether a stock is expensive or cheap. Generally, the higher the P/E ratio, the more expensive a stock is relative to its earnings. But in times of risk-on sentiment, investors tend to overlook sky-high P/E ratios, betting on growth potential and momentum instead.
However, when sentiment shifts more defensively, stocks with triple-digit P/Es often get hit the hardest. That&#39;s exactly what&#39;s happening right now with <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/PLTR/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pltr#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/TSLA/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AVGO/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>). Each of <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/computer-and-technology/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">these tech giants</a> has a P/E well over 100 and is currently seeing a decent amount of selling pressure.
However, sometimes steep declines create attractive entry opportunities for those willing to bet on the long-term story. Let&#39;s take a closer look at why each of these three stocks could be setting up for a bounce in March.
<h2>PLTR: A 30% Pullback But Still Holding February&#39;s Gains</h2>
[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:PLTR]
Palantir has had a wild ride this month. After hitting a record high earlier in February, the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/originals/palantir-stock-nears-bear-market-territory-why-and-whats-next/">stock has since tumbled nearly 30%</a>, giving back a large chunk of its recent gains.
Much of the selling pressure stems from concerns about potential U.S. defense spending cuts, which could impact Palantir&#39;s government contracts. And with a P/E ratio of 480, the stock is undoubtedly one of the most expensive on the market.
However, it&#39;s worth noting that Palantir crushed analyst expectations in its early February earnings report, proving that its business momentum remains strong. Additionally, analysts remain bullish, with Loop Capital issuing a Buy rating last week and <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/PLTR/forecast/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">a $141 price target</a>, which points to a targeted upside of more than 50%. If sentiment stabilizes and buyers step back in, Palantir could quickly reclaim lost ground and push higher into March.
<h2>TSLA: A High-Priced Stock That&#39;s Becoming Oversold</h2>
[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:TSLA]
Tesla is no stranger to high valuations, but with a P/E of 162, it trades 27 times higher than <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/F/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ford Motor Co (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>). Given that the stock has been selling off for many weeks now, this comparison clearly does not sit well with many investors.
Since peaking in December, <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/originals/tesla-just-shook-the-marketwill-it-crash-or-soar-next/">Tesla has since fallen 30%</a>, dragged down by <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/TSLA/earnings/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">a weak earnings report</a> in late January that added to valuation concerns. When a stock already trades at a high multiple and then disappoints on earnings, Wall Street tends to react aggressively, which is exactly what we&#39;re seeing now.
However, Tesla may be approaching a turning point. Its RSI reading is 32, which suggests the stock is nearing extremely oversold territory. If it drops just a bit further, it could soon trigger a technical bounce, if not a full recovery rally. For investors willing to look past the valuation concerns and focus on Tesla&#39;s long-term growth story, this pullback could offer an attractive entry point before momentum shifts again.
<h2>AVGO: A 20% Pullback With a Big Catalyst Ahead</h2>
[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:AVGO]
Broadcom&#39;s stock price has dropped nearly 20% since December&#39;s high, including a sharp 10% decline over the past three sessions alone.
At a P/E of 161, Broadcom looks far more expensive than key semiconductor peers like <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/NVDA/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with its P/E of 51, and <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/QCOM/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qcom#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) with its P/E of 17, making it a prime target for valuation-based selling.
But there&#39;s one major reason to keep an eye on Broadcom - its track record of delivering strong earnings. Next week&#39;s Q1 earnings report could be a key catalyst that reverses the stock&#39;s recent slide. Adding to the bullish case, Morgan Stanley recently <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AVGO/forecast/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">issued an Overweight rating</a> and a $246 price target, suggesting a nearly 20% upside from Monday&#39;s closing price of $207.
If Broadcom delivers solid numbers next week, expect the stock to bounce sharply off its recent lows as investors refocus on its long-term strength rather than its high valuation.
<h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
Triple-digit P/E stocks are often the first to sell off when sentiment shifts defensive, but they can also be the first to bounce back once the dust settles.
Palantir&#39;s recent pullback may be overdone, Tesla is nearing oversold conditions, and Broadcom has a major earnings catalyst ahead. For investors willing to weather the short-term volatility, these three stocks could be setting up for strong moves in March.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) shares are trading lower by 1.27% to $210.23 during Thursday&#8217;s session due to a confluence of factors, including Nvidia's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43991607/nvidia-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-demand-for-blackwell-is-amazing">strong earnings</a> and its own advancements in AI infrastructure.
What To Know: Nvidia's record-breaking fourth-quarter results highlight surging demand for AI compute, with its data center revenue jumping 93% year-over-year. This signals a broader trend: hyperscalers and enterprises are aggressively expanding AI infrastructure, which directly benefits Broadcom.

Broadcom plays a crucial role in AI infrastructure through its PCIe Gen 6 portfolio, which ensures high-speed connectivity between AI accelerators, CPUs and memory. 
The company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43990982/broadcom-shares-are-on-the-rise-today-whats-going-on">newly announced partnership</a> with Micron to enhance AI system interoperability further strengthens its positioning. As AI workloads scale, efficient data transfer becomes critical, and Broadcom's PCIe technology is essential in reducing bottlenecks.
What Else: Additionally, Broadcom's dominance in custom ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits) offers an alternative to Nvidia's GPUs for certain AI acceleration tasks. Analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43990982/broadcom-shares-are-on-the-rise-today-whats-going-on">projections</a> suggest ASICs could capture 10%-15% of the accelerator market, signaling growing demand.
With Nvidia's guidance projecting continued AI growth and Broadcom's technology serving as a backbone for AI infrastructure, investors see Broadcom as a key beneficiary.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy AVGO Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Broadcom&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, AVGO has a 52-week high of $251.88 and a 52-week low of $119.76.

What's Going On With Broadcom (AVGO) Stock?

<img alt="AI, Artificial Intelligence concept,Technology background. Central Computer Processors CPU Tech science background. Integrated communication processor." class="article-image-one" src="https://www.marketbeat.com/logos/articles/med_20250221101313_3-stocks-poised-to-thrive-as-nvidia-dominates-the.jpg" style="height:643px; width:1200px" />
Everyone knows that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/NVDA/">NVIDIA Co. (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is the leader in the <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/computer-and-technology/">technology sector</a> and its race to provide the necessary components for <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/compare-stocks/artificial-intelligence-stocks/">artificial intelligence</a> to grow into what most investors think it could be. However, this doesn&#39;t mean that investors need to only pay attention to NVIDIA but rather zoom out into some of the other less crowded ideas out there.
Moving across the artificial intelligence value chain can be a great start, but of course, we should always keep NVIDIA&#39;s success in mind. Through this, investors can land on areas like components makers that enable NVIDIA to make their industry-leading graphic processing units (GPUs), the companies that focus on data centers relying on these very chips, and even the cloud computing businesses in the market, which can only operate using this sort of technology.
These reasons are exactly why investors should keep an eye on names like <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/TSM/">Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsm#NYSE">TSM</a>), <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AVGO/">Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), and even <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/GOOGL/">Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: </a><a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) in the coming quarters. This is especially the case if these same investors believe that NVIDIA&#39;s success is far from reaching its full potential, as there might be much more upside in these lateral plays.
<h2>Taiwan Semiconductor Stock: Not Done Yet</h2>
Even though shares of Taiwan Semiconductor stock already trade within <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/TSM/chart/">90% of their 52-week highs</a>, one fundamental driver still pushes for more upside behind this name&mdash;one investors should pay attention to in the coming quarters.
[content-module:Forecast|NYSE:TSM]
Considering that earnings per share (EPS) typically drive stock price performance, investors should note that Wall Street now <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/TSM/earnings/">forecasts up to $2.66 in EPS</a> for Taiwan Semiconductor stock to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Compared to today&#39;s $2.24 EPS, that&#39;s roughly an 18.7% growth rate, which should drive the stock higher.
Knowing that Taiwan Semiconductor stock&#39;s outlook is set for a bullish EPS path ahead, it shouldn&#39;t come as a surprise to see analysts from Barclays reiterate a buy rating on the company as of January 2025, this time keeping a <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/TSM/forecast/">$255 per share valuation</a>.
This new target would not only call for a new 52-week high in the stock but also for as much as a 26% upside from where it trades today, giving investors yet another reason to stick around and ride the benefits of this company being one of the main suppliers for NVIDIA&#39;s GPU manufacturing chain.
<h2>Data Centers Mix Well With Broadcom</h2>
The other aspect that will benefit from the growth of artificial intelligence is data centers, as these are the places where models are trained and developed on massive amounts of data. This mostly requires computing power delivered by NVIDIA chips. This is where Broadcom comes into play for investors to consider.
[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:AVGO]
Being exposed to this area of the market allows the company to carry more tailwinds behind it, and Barclays analysts have also noticed this recently in their ratings.
With an overweight rating on Broadcom, these analysts now see the company valued at a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AVGO/forecast/">high of $260 per share</a>, which, like their rating for Taiwan Semiconductor, calls for a new 52-week high along with a net upside of as much as 16% from where it trades today.
Understanding that Broadcom&#39;s path in the artificial intelligence race is relatively set, some institutional buyers were willing to take this view for themselves, such as those from the UBS Asset Management group, who boosted their holdings in Broadcom stock by as much as 1.7% over the past quarter.
This new allocation brought their net position to a <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AVGO/institutional-ownership/">massive $7.9 billion today</a>, showing investors yet another vote of confidence coming into Broadcom stock.
<h2>Cloud Computing Is Google&#39;s Path to Higher Prices</h2>
Last but not least, cloud computing should not be forgotten in this race for artificial intelligence development, and this is exactly where Alphabet (Google) comes into play.
[content-module:Forecast|NASDAQ:GOOGL]
By having access to the world&#39;s search trends, text, video, and other forms of data, Google is able to feed artificial intelligence models what they need to compound themselves.
That&#39;s why analysts at Citigroup felt comfortable enough with the story to reiterate a buy rating on the stock while also laying out a valuation <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/GOOGL/forecast/">target of up to $229</a> per share. This is not only another new 52-week high for today&#39;s list of winners but also a net upside of as much as 25.5% from today&#39;s stock price.
It would seem that even the bearish traders, calling Google&#39;s valuation overextended, have decided that it&#39;s not worth the fight considering all of the bullish factors building up right now for the company in its artificial intelligence exposure.
Over the past month,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/GOOGL/short-interest/">Google&#39;s short interest</a> declined by as much as 8.2% to show signs of bearish capitulation.

3 Stocks Poised To Thrive As NVIDIA Dominates The AI Boom

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) shares are moving higher Wednesday after the company announced the availability of its end-to-end PCIe Gen 6 portfolio and a partnership with Micron Technology for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43972821/broadcom-expands-ai-infrastructure-with-pcie-gen-6-partners-with-micron-for-seamless-integration"> AI infrastructure expansion.</a>
What To Know: Broadcom is extending its PCIe leadership by offering early access to its PCIe Gen 6 Interop Development Platform, which enhances interoperability and system design with advanced telemetry and diagnostics. 
In collaboration with Micron and Teledyne LeCroy, Broadcom has tested its high-port switch and timer for compliance, supporting open AI infrastructure solutions. The AI industry, including hyperscalers and system manufacturers, is incorporating Broadcom&#8217;s PCIe Gen 6 technology into next-generation AI rack solutions.
Broadcom&#8217;s connectivity portfolio is built on in-house SerDes technology and features extended reach, lower power dissipation and streamlined interoperability. By partnering with PCIe industry leaders, Broadcom aims to provide fully validated PCIe Gen 6 building blocks for AI workloads.
Broadcom&#8217;s stock has surged 643% over the past five years and 55% in the last 12 months. The company reached a trillion-dollar valuation in 2024, driven by demand for AI-related technology.
