Bill White Says: Tech Stock Picks: Buy, Hold, or Sell?
My Picks Before the Open
The technology sector remains one of the most dynamic and lucrative areas for investment, but with volatility comes the need for a strategic approach. As the New York market prepares to open, let's examine four major tech stocks in my portfolio—Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META), and Broadcom (AVGO)—and determine whether investors should buy, hold, or sell.
Buy: Nvidia (NVDA)
Nvidia continues to be a dominant force in AI and semiconductor technology. With its strong software ecosystem and leadership in AI-driven applications, the company is poised for sustained growth. Analysts are optimistic about its upcoming earnings report, citing a resilient demand for its GPU technology.
Verdict: BUY—Despite recent market fluctuations, Nvidia remains a high-potential stock for long-term investors.
Hold: Microsoft (MSFT)
Microsoft’s fundamentals remain solid, but the stock has been trading below key moving averages. Institutional ownership has dipped slightly, and while earnings remain robust, there are some concerns about future growth. However, its cloud and AI initiatives continue to generate steady revenue streams.
Verdict: HOLD—For investors already holding Microsoft stock, maintaining a position makes sense, but new investors may want to wait for stronger technical indicators before buying in.
Buy: Meta Platforms (META)
Meta has surged to record highs, largely driven by optimism surrounding its AI developments. With its Llama AI model gaining traction and continued dominance in social media advertising, the company remains a strong bet. The stock has gained 20% since the start of 2025, signaling solid momentum.
Verdict: BUY—Meta’s aggressive AI investments and advertising revenue make it an attractive option for growth investors.
Sell: Broadcom (AVGO)
Broadcom’s inclusion in the $1 trillion market capitalization club has attracted attention, but not all analysts are convinced of its long-term growth potential. While its AI chip sales are impressive, core business segments show signs of weakness. For investors looking to de-risk, this could be the right time to take profits.
Verdict: SELL—Broadcom has had a strong run, but with mixed analyst sentiment, investors may want to cash in on gains before any downturn.
Final Thoughts
Tech stocks continue to present exciting opportunities, but a conservative strategy is key to managing risk. Nvidia and Meta stand out as strong buys, while Microsoft remains a solid hold. Broadcom, on the other hand, may be reaching its peak, making it a sell candidate for cautious investors.
And as always—
