In the coming days, the VanEck Semiconductor Fund (SMH), iShares Semiconductor Fund (SOXX), T Rex 2x NVIDIA Daily target (NVDX), Technology Select Sector Fund Fund (XLK), and T-Rex T-Rex ETFs (NVDX) will all be on the radar.
Four funds performed well in 2018. The XLK fund grew by 16.5%, the SMH by 41.5%, and SOXX by 20.0%. NVDX, a fund that has jumped over 395% this year, is one of the top-performing funds.
Nvidia has a large component
All of these ETFs share one commonality: Nvidia. Nvidia, which holds a stake of 21% in the XLK ETF is among the largest constituents. Microsoft, Apple Broadcom and Salesforce are the other major names in this fund worth $70 billion. Nvidia is responsible for 21,7% of SMH’s $23 billion fund, and 10% of SOXX’s $15 billion fund.
T-Rex Daily 2x NVIDIA Target Fund is unique because it tracks Nvidia’s stock using leverage. The fund aims to produce 200% of the daily performance of Nvidia. On Tuesday, for example, Nvidia stock fell over 2,12%, while the NVDX Fund dropped over 4%.
The NVDX Index does well when Nvidia’s shares do well. Nvidia shares, for example, have risen 170% over the past 12 months whereas the NVDX has risen more than 557%.
T-REX 2X inverse NVIDIA daily target ETF (NVDQ), is opposite to the NVDX. This explains its fall in recent months. NVDQ is down by nearly 95% over the past 12 months.
Nvidia earns ahead
In the last few months, these stocks were in the spotlight as they became highly volatile. The stock fell to $90 on August 8th, a drop of over 35% compared with its peak this year. The stock has recovered by nearly 40%, and it is now nearing its high point for this year.
On August 28, Nvidia’s quarterly results will be released. This will serve as a catalyst to these ETFs.
Nvidia plays a major role in both the US economy and technology industry. The artificial intelligence sector has embraced its chips.
A sign of a slowdown in the business will impact these ETFs as well as the market.
Nvidia reported that its revenues in the first quarter of 2012 grew by 262% to $269 Billion. The datacenter segment accounted for the majority of these revenues – approximately $22.6 billion. Large data center operators like Microsoft and Amazon buy its chips in bulk to meet their AI requirements.
NVIDIA’s gross margin increased to 78.4%, while its net profit soared at $14.8 billion during the first quarter.
Analysts predict that Nvidia will continue to grow its revenue in the second half of 2018, albeit slower. Yahoo Finance estimates that Nvidia’s revenue in Q2 was $28,6 billion, higher than its $24 billion Q1 figure and $13 billion for the same period in 2023.
Nvidia will easily beat this consensus in its earnings. The company is also known for consistently beating analysts’ expectations. This has been the case for four quarters in a row.
Nvidia is expected to generate revenues of $121.13 Billion this year and $168 Billion in 2025.
Value concerns still remain
Nvidia appears to be a company that is overvalued. The company has a total market capitalization of $3.1 trillion and a P/E forward ratio of 50.3. The company’s P/E ratio is 50.3, higher than industry median 20. Its EV to EBITDA multiple, which is forward is 39.6, is also higher than sector median 20, while the forward sales multiple (50) is higher than average 22.
Nvidia is a company that has been overvalued for a long time. In most cases, investing in companies that are overvalued produces better returns than purchasing laggards. Investors who purchase perpetually undervalued REITs will tell you that.
Nvidia’s growth could slow down, as has happened in many other industries. Tesla, the company that was the first to reach $1 trillion valuation in the electric car industry is a good example.
Tesla is now facing significant competition and its valuation has fallen to $705 Billion. There is a chance that AMD could take over Nvidia in the next few weeks.
Lululemon is another example, as it has been a leader in the industry. Nike, On Holdings, and Gap are among the companies that have entered today, affecting its growth. Its stock has also dropped almost 50% since its peak this year.
My view on the Nvidia share is that it has a lot of upside potential for now, but may suffer from a major reversal in value if its growth slows down.
