We have been considering buying another dip lower in US mega-caps, with Nvidia (NVDA US), our preferred trading vehicle, following its more than 30% pullback. We note our target is around 15% below Friday’s close, but this is a volatile stock that often moves more than $US10 in a week. The news of DeepSeek has weighed on the AI sector this year. However, we should remember that last quarter, NVDA achieved revenue of $39.3 billion, representing a 12% increase from the previous quarter and a 78% year-over-year rise. The stock is now relatively cheap compared to its 5-year average valuation, which improves the risk-reward if we see another leg lower.
