Shares of
Microsoft
have outperformed the Zacks Computer – Software industry over the past year (+19.3% vs. +11.6%), with the stock benefiting from strength in its Azure cloud platform amid accelerated global digital transformation as reflected by the second-quarter fiscal 2022 results. Teams’ user growth is gaining from continuation of remote work and mainstream adoption of hybrid/flexible work models. Recovery in the advertising and job markets boosted LinkedIn and Search revenues. Solid uptake of new Xbox consoles is aiding the gaming segment performance.
The company is witnessing growth in user base of its different applications including Microsoft 365 suite, Dynamics and Power Platform. Microsoft expects Surface revenues to grow in the mid-teens range, driven by strong demand for premium devices. However, stiff competition in the cloud space is likely to dent margins.

Shares of
Amazon
have outperformed the Zacks Internet – Commerce industry over the past two-year period (+52.7% vs. -25.9%) on the back of solid Prime momentum owing to ultrafast delivery services and strong content portfolio. Further, a strengthening relationship with third-party sellers is a positive. Also, growing momentum across Amazon Music is contributing well.
Additionally, a strong adoption rate of AWS is aiding the company’s cloud dominance. Expanding AWS services portfolio is continuously helping Amazon in gaining further momentum among the customers.
Further, robust Alexa skills and expanding smart home products portfolio are positives. Additionally, the company’s strong global presence and solid momentum among the small and medium businesses remain tailwinds. However, growing expenses associated with supply-chain constraints and labor supply shortages remain concerns.

Shares of
NVIDIA
have outperformed the Zacks Semiconductor – General industry over the past year (+70.5% vs. +20.5%). The Zacks analyst believes that NVIDIA is benefiting from the coronavirus-induced work and learn-from-home wave. It is also benefiting from strong growth in GeForce desktop and notebook Graphic Processing Units, which is boosting gaming revenues.
Moreover, a surge in Hyperscale demand remains a tailwind for the company’s Data Center business. Expansion of NVIDIA GeForce NOW is expected to drive user base. Further, solid uptake of artificial intelligence-based smart cockpit infotainment solutions is a boon.
Additionally, collaboration with Mercedes-Benz is expected to further strengthen NVIDIA’s presence in the autonomous vehicles and other automotive electronics space. However, management expects COVID-19 pandemic to negatively impact near-term revenues. Moreover, the U.S.-China trade war remains a key concern.

Zacks Names “Single Best Pick to Double”
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.
