Louis Navellier did not have (either directly or indirectly) any other positions in the securities mentioned in this article. On the date of publication, Louis Navellier had a long position in NVDA. So if NVDA is on your list and you’re not overly concerned about crypto crashes or chip shortages, now is probably a smart time to make a move. And by the time July 20 rolls around, those newly split shares are probably going to be worth significantly more than $175 each. Shares will be more affordable on July 20, but investors who drop $700-ish on NVDA now will not be punished in any way for doing so. The biggest question for prospective NVDA stock investors is whether to buy now.
Another risk we’re becoming all-too aware of in 2021 is a global shortage of semiconductors – Nvidia is not immune. And Nvidia’s other lines of business, including gaming, data centers, and AI are on fire, so that will help to reduce the sting should crypto falter. A loss of revenue should miners hit pause would be painful, but the company is unlikely to end up with a glut of unsold graphics cards as a result, as it did in 2018. That being said, Nvidia is managing the crypto mining aspect of its business more closely this time around. Nvidia shares lost nearly half their value in just two months. Investors still grimace at the beating NVDA stock took in late 2018 when that exact scenario happened. When cryptocurrencies tank, people stop buying graphics cards for crypto mining. For one thing, we all know that cryptocurrency can be extremely volatile. There are some risks inherent in this Portfolio Grader “B” rated stock. Whether you buy now, or wait for the individual share price to become more affordable post-stock split, an investment in Nvidia is very likely to deliver long-term growth. Shareholders of record as of June 21 will each receive three additional shares of NVDA stock after the market closes on July 19. That plan was approved by Nvidia stockholders on June 3. The company proposed a four-for-one stock split, aiming to make shares more accessible to both investors and employees.
