DXC Technology And ServiceNow Expand Partnership To Launch Center Of Excellence, Accelerating Generative AI Adoption And Value For Businesses Globally

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has once again defied market expectations, delivering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42099904/nvidia-beats-q3-revenue-eps-estimates-supply-constraints-ding-stock-huang-says-age-of-ai-is-in-full-steam">blockbuster third-quarter performance</a> that tech analysts are calling a watershed moment for artificial intelligence.
What Happened: Wedbush Securities Managing Director Dan Ives described the results as a &#8220;jaw-dropper,&#8221; emphasizing the transformative potential of the company&#8217;s AI technology. &#8220;This is the fourth revolution playing out in front of our eyes,&#8221; Ives told CNN, <a href="https://x.com/jchatterleyCNN/status/1859386289315053838">highlighting</a> the broader implications for the tech sector.
Referring to Nvidia&#8217;s CEO Jensen Huang as the &#8220;Godfather of AI,&#8221; he <a href="https://x.com/DivesTech/status/1859387551351546328">described</a> the company&#8217;s performance as a transformative moment.
Ives boldly predicted a Nasdaq surge to 25,000, driven by the &#8220;fourth revolution&#8221; in technology. &#8220;This is the rally, get ready,&#8221; he emphasized, highlighting an extraordinary economic multiplier where &#8220;one dollar spent on GPU chips translates to an $8 to $10 impact across the tech sector.&#8221; The analyst believes the market is underestimating demand for AI technologies in the next 12 to 18 months.
The analyst addressed potential risks to the AI boom, noting initial market nervousness about high spending and profitability concerns. However, he sees improving confidence, citing companies like Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>), and Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>) as positive indicators.
Geopolitical concerns, particularly around China and potential tariffs, remain a consideration. Yet, Ives found reassurance in diplomatic channels, specifically mentioning Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk&#8216;s involvement in negotiations, which he believes will help mitigate potential challenges.
Nvidia reported third-quarter revenue of $35.1 billion, a 94% increase year-over-year, significantly exceeding Street consensus estimates of $33.12 billion. The company delivered earnings per share of 81 cents, beating analyst expectations of 75 cents.
Prior to Nvidia&#8217;s third-quarter earnings, Ives <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/11/20/nvidias-quarterly-report-will-be-drop-the-mic-moment-says-wedbushs-dan-ives.html?__source=sharebar&#x7C;twitter&amp;par=sharebar">told</a> CNBC that the company&#8217;s pathway to a $4 trillion valuation &#8220;begins today&#8221; with a &#8220;drop the mic performance.&#8221; He emphasized Nvidia&#8217;s unparalleled market dominance, stating they are &#8220;the only game in town&#8221; in AI chip development.
The company&#8217;s Blackwell product line, which Ives highlighted as critical, is now in full production.
Why It Matters: The analyst&#8217;s commentary went beyond dry financial analysis, sprinkled with his trademark flair. In a moment that captured both his tech insight and unexpected humor, Ives even ventured into fashion advice for President-elect Donald Trump.
The earnings report marks Nvidia&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42099904/nvidia-beats-q3-revenue-eps-estimates-supply-constraints-ding-stock-huang-says-age-of-ai-is-in-full-steam">ninth consecutive quarter</a> beating revenue estimates and eighth straight quarter exceeding earnings per share expectations.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock closed at $145.89 on Wednesday, down 0.76% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped further by 2.53%. Year to date, Nvidia&#8217;s stock has surged 202.86%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Microsoft stock, at $415.76, lies below its eight-day, 20-day, and 50-day simple moving averages, signaling downward pressure and bearish momentum over the short, medium and long term.
Momentum indicators like the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) at a negative 0.68 and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 46.01 further confirm the bearish sentiment. 
However, slight buying pressure suggests cautious optimism among investors banking on Microsoft's AI success.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Building The AI Ecosystem</h2>
Microsoft's hardware <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/microsoft-debuts-new-copilot-software-touts-ai-growth-at-ignite-conference-140005650.html">announcements</a>, including the Microsoft 365 Link, and its collaboration with Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) for Blackwell-powered GB200 servers, showcase its commitment to AI infrastructure.
With cutting-edge tools for cybersecurity like the Security Exposure Management platform and Data Loss Prevention for Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft is addressing both innovation and risks in AI-driven enterprises.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Verdict</h2>
While Microsoft faces technical headwinds, Microsoft's long-term AI strategy remains robust. Its Copilot ecosystem, enterprise partnerships, and growing AI adoption position it as a key player in the tech industry.
The big question is whether Wall Street's optimism in AI will outweigh the short-term bearish trends for Microsoft stock.
Investors may need to weigh the current technical challenges against the company's AI-driven growth story before deciding their next move.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses.

The company recently reported that it has 3.53 million shares sold short, which is 1.72% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
