The Surprising Factor Behind Wall Street’s Bull Market
As the two-year anniversary of Wall Street’s bull market approaches, it’s clear that artificial intelligence (AI) has been a major driving force. However, there’s another crucial element that’s often overlooked: stock-split euphoria. In the past nine months, over a dozen well-known companies have implemented stock splits, leading to significant gains for investors.
What’s Behind the Stock Split Frenzy?
A stock split is a cosmetic adjustment to a company’s share price and outstanding share count, which doesn’t alter its market cap or operating performance. While there are two types of splits – forward and reverse – investors tend to favor forward splits, which lower the share price to make it more accessible to everyday investors. These splits are often undertaken by companies with strong competitive advantages.
Three Industry-Leading Stocks with Impressive Upside Potential
According to Wall Street analysts, three stock-split stocks stand out for their impressive upside potential, with gains of up to 111%.
Nvidia: The AI Revolution Leader
Nvidia, a pioneer in the AI revolution, completed a historic 10-for-1 forward split in June. Analyst Hans Mosesmann of Rosenblatt Securities predicts the company will reach $200 per share, representing a 45% return and making Nvidia a roughly $5 trillion business. The demand for Nvidia’s H100 graphics processing unit (GPU) and successor Blackwell GPU architecture has been robust, leading to a significant price premium over other AI-GPUs.
Sirius XM Holdings: A Legal Monopoly with Pricing Power
Sirius XM Holdings, the only high-profile stock-split stock of 2024 to complete a reverse split, offers impressive upside potential. Benchmark analyst Matthew Harrigan believes shares will reach $43, implying a 60% gain. Sirius XM’s legal monopoly, omnichannel presence, and subscription-driven model make it an attractive investment opportunity.
Super Micro Computer: The Infrastructure Colossus
Super Micro Computer, a customizable rack server and storage solutions specialist, completed its first-ever forward split in September. Wall Street’s biggest Super Micro Computer bull, analyst Ananda Baruah of Loop Capital, predicts the company will reach $100 per share, implying scorching-hot upside potential of up to 111%. Super Micro’s revenue acceleration has been remarkable, with net sales surging 110% in fiscal 2024.
While these stocks offer impressive upside potential, it’s essential to consider the risks and challenges each company faces. By doing your due diligence and staying informed, you can make informed investment decisions and potentially reap significant rewards.
