Trade Ideas
NVIDIA re-rating on new disclosure and AI
NVIDIA's reclassification of data center revenue into CSP and non-CSP segments provides greater transparency into non-hyperscaler demand growth, which combined with the agentic AI narrative and strong GPU demand, supports a re-rating of the stock. HSBC raised its price target to $325.
Two-year yield underpriced, needs to rise
The two-year Treasury yield is underpricing the eventual Fed funds rate path given a resilient economy and persistent inflation; the market should price yields closer to 4.25%, meaning short-term rates need to rise further.
