Market Overview

Chart of the Week

What we’ve seen from Nvidia (NVDA) over the last 18-months is astonishing.

If you were to remove Nvidia from the ‘Magnificent 7’ stocks (Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta Platforms & Tesla) — this group would actually be lagging the S&P 500 year-to-date year.

As you can see above, their massive stock price appreciation coincides with Nvidia’s Data Center revenue sky rocketing from $3.6B to $22.5B in only 18-months. According to Wall Street’s estimates, Nvidia currently controls over 75% of the AI chip market — while operating at 80% gross profit margins.

Despite the recent run up in stock price, Nvidia is still trading at a -13% discount to their 3-year median forward P/E ratio of ~45X.

Robert’s Callout

Goodness gracious — all of you have clearly been moving around quite a bit!

TSA reported that 2.95M travelers passed through airport security on the Friday of Memorial Day Weekend. That surpassed the previous record of 2.9M, which was set on the Sunday after Thanksgiving last year.

Airlines for America thinks it’s going to be the biggest summer for travel ever — forecasting that 271M passengers will travel on U.S. airlines from June through August. This would be a +6% increase from last summer.

Austin’s Callout

Everyone’s favorite 2000s clothing brand has officially made a comeback!

Abercrombie & Fitch reported their quarterly earnings yesterday … and Wall Street was blown away. The company’s Q1 revenue ($1.02B) came in higher than expectations ($965M) — highlighting the company’s multi-year efforts spanning marketing, product design, and in-store presentation.

The company’s inventory levels also remained flat year-over-year against their +22% sales growth — allowing them the flexibility to offer more favorable promotions to drive even more growth during the summer months.

Something people forget is that Abercrombie & Fitch also owns Hollister — a clothing brand that mainly targets teenagers. Their A&F line experienced +31% sales growth year-over-year, while their Hollister line only experienced +12% sales growth.

Wall Street is optimistic the company will be able to take what they learned from “reinvigorating” A&F and apply it to Hollister — leaving ample room for growth in 2025 and beyond.
