Nvidia (NVDA) Is "Best Place to Hide Right Now," Analyst Says

Speaking on CNBC recently, Chris Caso, a senior analyst at Wolfe Research, said that "the AI space and tariffs in particular are... the best places to hide right now."

More of Caso's Comments on NVDA

Nvidia's valuation is attractive, and the tech giant's recently announced decision to manufacture its upcoming chips at Taiwan Semi's (TSM) factories in Arizona "is real," since the facilities can manufacture those semiconductors, Caso stated.

Similarly, NVDA's plan to build some of its AI servers in the U.S. "makes absolute sense." In light of these devices high profit margins, NVDA will not be badly hurt by the added cost of manufacturing them in America, Caso explained.

Additionally, NVDA can avoid tariffs by manufacturing a portion of its products in Mexico, the analyst suggested.

Caso's Outlook on the Impact of Tariffs on the Chip Sector

Tariffs on consumer electronic products would meaningfully lower the demand for chips, Caso indicated. However, tariffs on the chips "would be less of a problem" because Chinese manufacturers put many chips into consumer electronic products, he stated.

While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.
