Analyst Says Nvidia Is A Strong Play For The ‘Post-Smartphone Era’

While tech giants Microsoft Corporation MSFT, Facebook Inc FB and Alphabet Inc GOOG continue to invest in machine learning technology, Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry said NVIDIA Corporation NVDA will be a direct beneficiary of the growing graphics processing unit requirements associated with the technology.

In a note to clients, Chowdhry said Nvidia’s core business is strong and machine learning will serve as the next long-term catalyst for investors.
