Sarah Kunst, Cleo Capital managing director, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss key takeaways from Nvidia's GTC conference this week, state of AI demand, the threat posed by China's DeepSeek, and more.
Why the Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment Index has risen too far, too fast.
Given that it includes three of the 10 largest companies in the world by market capitalization, the semiconductor and chipmaking industry sets a lofty standard for what it means to be an average-sized firm. Similarly, "small" semiconductor companies, or at least those that are smaller than titans like NVIDIA Corp. NASDAQ: NVDA, might still be valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars.
Nvidia has reaffirmed its leadership in artificial-intelligence chips but that isn't boosting its stock price.
In January, I warned investors to tread carefully when it came to Nvidia (NVDA 1.74%) shares. The tech stock's valuation left almost no room for error.
Comments by chipmaker's boss Jensen Huang are a sign Trump's ‘America First' policy is affecting investment
Nvidia (NVDA 1.74%) emerged as the most closely watched artificial intelligence (AI) stock thanks to its soaring growth, and its annual GTC conference has also become one of the top AI events for analysts, industry insiders, and investors to watch.

Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, ETR:NVD) stock was up 1.8% in after-hours trading and looked set for a strong open on Thursday after it shared plans to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in US-made chips and electronics over the next four years. According to CEO Jensen Huang, via the Financial Times, the AI chipmaker expects to spend around $500 billion during this period, with a focus on expanding domestic manufacturing.
Nvidia (NVDA 1.74%) stock has tumbled 23% from the record high it reached in early January. The decline began when large language models developed by DeepSeek raised questions about whether U.S. companies have been overinvesting in artificial intelligence infrastructure, especially Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs).
Nvidia plans to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S.-made chips and electronics over the next four years, CEO Jensen Huang told the Financial Times on Wednesday.
Generative AI models must be trained on a lot of information, and sometimes you have to make it up.
