Summary · why it matters

Chip stocks have sold off sharply this week, but the indiscriminate selling may be creating opportunities in Nvidia, ON Semiconductor, and Intel. Nvidia shares have fallen about 18% from their 52-week high, yet the company just reported fiscal first-quarter revenue of $81.6 billion, up 85% year over year, and guided for $91 billion in the second quarter. ON Semiconductor tumbled more than 23% on Friday after announcing a $7 billion all-stock deal to acquire Synaptics, but its underlying business is showing a cyclical recovery with first-quarter revenue rising 5% and its AI data center business more than doubling. Intel has surged from a 52-week low near $19 to around $128 as new CEO Lip-Bu Tan's turnaround gains traction, though its foundry business still lost $2.4 billion in the quarter. Among the three, Nvidia appears the most compelling on valuation, trading at about 29 times earnings with a gross margin near 75%.
