'Nvidia CEO says robotics is chipmaker's biggest opportunity after AI'- CNBC

Despite recent volatility, long-term holders of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), and XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) are enjoying substantial gains — a payoff for their patience <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45335892/decade-old-bitcoin-whale-emerges-transfers-207-51-million-btc-with-nearly-112000-profit">during earlier market cycles.</a>
What Happened: According to new <a href="https://x.com/santimentfeed/status/1937569460896092327">data</a> from Santiment, 94.5% of Bitcoin's circulating supply is currently in profit, followed by Ethereum at 88.7%, reflecting strong investor conviction. 
XRP (65.1%), Dogecoin at 64.7%, and Chainlink (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/link/usd">LINK</a>) at 59.4% also show solid profitability, though these levels suggest a more balanced sentiment between caution and optimism.
Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), however, lags with only 46.5% of its supply in profit, indicating that a majority of holders are underwater. 
While this signals bearish sentiment among investors who bought near previous highs, it could also represent a potential value opportunity if bullish momentum returns in the second half of 2025. 
This implies undervaluation and more of a bearish sentiment from jaded investors who bought at a higher price than where ADA sits currently.

Why It Matters: High profitability levels often signal strong market confidence, but they can also precede profit-taking corrections, particularly when fear and greed rapidly alternate. 
Santiment <a href="https://x.com/santimentfeed/status/1937892738684576217">observed</a> that Bitcoin has recently climbed back to $108,200, buoyed by positive reaction to the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which remains intact.
Meanwhile, Chainlink's 11% surge today <a href="https://x.com/santimentfeed/status/1937601918819336673">came</a> as the number of LINK holders hit a record 769,380. 
Despite this, active wallets over the past year are down 17.3%, signalling a shift toward long-term accumulation.
Ethereum's outlook also remains optimistic, with trader Ted Pillows <a href="https://x.com/TedPillows/status/1937829374134247475">noting </a>that whales are positioning long, suggesting bullish expectations into year-end.

Shares of Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) are trading higher Wednesday, adding to gains of more than 25% over the past month. Here&#8217;s a look at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46080942/why-amd-stock-is-soaring-tuesday">what&#8217;s going on</a>.
What To Know: AMD shares are rallying this week after the chipmaker announced a new collaboration with HCLTech aimed at accelerating enterprise digital transformation. The two companies plan to establish joint innovation labs focused on developing solutions in AI, digital infrastructure and cloud computing.
AMD CEO Lisa Su said the partnership will help deliver cutting-edge technology to give businesses the solutions they need to accelerate innovation. 
&#8220;Combining HCLTech&#8217;s expertise in digital transformation with our industry-leading EPYC, Instinct and Ryzen PRO processors will enable us to provide enterprises with customized, future-ready solutions that maximize the potential of AI, cloud computing and advanced analytics,&#8221; Su said.
Semiconductor stocks have seen strong momentum in recent trading sessions following easing tensions in the Middle East. AMD also got a boost this week after Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes upgraded AMD from Hold to Buy and raised the price target from $110 to $175, reflecting growing confidence in the company&#8217;s positioning in the AI and enterprise computing space.
Earlier this month, multiple analysts came out with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45955190/amd-stock-is-soaring-monday-whats-going-on">positive updates</a> after AMD unveiled multiple new products at its "Advancing AI"  event. Piper Sandler raised its target to $140 and reiterated an Overweight rating. Roth Capital and Evercore ISI also lifted their targets to $150 and $144, respectively, while Rosenblatt recently maintained a Buy rating with a $200 target.
Is AMD A Good Stock To Buy?
Wall Street analysts view AMD on the whole as a Outperform, given the history of coverage over the past three months. 
But looking at how the market as a whole thinks of the stock, you can reference historical price action for views on whether investors feel strongly about the stock one way or another. In the past three months, AMD rose 35.59%, which indicates that opinion improved on the business and how attractive it is to own based on either its stock price, or underlying fundamentals, like revenue, which rose 35.9% over the past year.
AMD Price Action: AMD shares were up 3.17% at $142.82 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

H.C. Wainwright analyst Heiko F. Ihle reiterated a Buy rating on U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USAU#NASDAQ">USAU</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/USAU/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $15</a>.
Ihle highlighted that U.S. Gold Corp. released key details on its upcoming Feasibility Study, or FS on June 24, following the updated Pre-Feasibility Study published in February 2025.
The analyst noted that the FS will include a site-specific Association for Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE) Class 3 cost estimate and a detailed execution plan aimed at aligning with the current project timeline.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/04/44754594/gold-miners-rally-as-bullion-hits-3212-record-trump-tariffs-fuel-over-20-year-to-date-surge-across-sector" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gold Miners Rally As Bullion Hits $3,212: Trump Tariffs Fuel Over 20% Year-To-Date Surge Across Sector</a>
The FS is expected to be finalized by the fourth quarter, and he writes it will outline a practical and appealing path forward for the fully permitted CK Gold Project.
This apart, Ihle stated that his valuation of U.S. Gold Corp. is based on a discounted cash flow (DCF) model for the CK Gold Project, using a 15% discount rate, consistent with other early-stage mining projects in top-tier jurisdictions.
His DCF model yields a value of $206.9 million, or $11.69 per share, for the CK asset. He assigns an additional $50 million combined value for the Challis ($28 million), Keystone ($20 million), and Orevada ($2 million) projects.
Ihle also noted that these non-core asset estimates appear increasingly conservative given current spot gold prices of $3,325 per ounce.
Ihle highlighted that a recent $7.3 million cash boost from exercised warrants should support near-term operational needs as the company works toward future milestones.
The analyst emphasized that U.S. Gold remains well-positioned to drive long-term shareholder value, especially amid favorable gold prices and recent progress.
He further highlighted the company&#8217;s impending inclusion in the Russell 3000 and Russell 2000 indexes, effective June 30, 2025. This move is poised to significantly increase trading volume as index funds adjust their portfolios to include the stock.

Shares of POET Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POET#NASDAQ">POET</a>) are trading higher Wednesday. The company received the 2025 AI Hardware Innovation Award and recently announced a new manufacturing partnership <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g46095879/poet-wins-ai-hardware-innovation-award-in-2025-ai-breakthrough-awards">aimed at scaling production.</a>
What To Know: Poet&#8217;s Teralight optical engine line won the "AI Hardware Innovation Award" at the 8th annual AI Breakthrough Awards. 
Teralight features a compact, wafer-level chip-scale design that integrates transmit and receive optical engines, supporting AI and hyperscale data center applications. The award recognized Teralight's architecture for improving signal quality and energy efficiency while reducing complexity in module design.
The stock may also be gaining on continued momentum from Tuesday. Poet Technologies disclosed it signed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g46070871/poet-signs-manufacturing-agreement-with-nationgate-solutions-in-malaysia">manufacturing agreement</a> with NationGate Solutions in Malaysia.

Poet Technologies confirmed it has already shipped its backlog of 800G samples and expects to ship its 1.6T samples in the third quarter of 2025. Both Malaysian facilities are undergoing final qualification. The increased demand and growing number of customer engagements potentially suggest continued interest in Poet&#8217;s integrated photonics solutions for AI and high-performance computing applications.

What'g Going On With POET Technologies Stock Today?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday said it is investigating the risk of acute liver failure with serious outcomes, including hospitalization and death, following Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRPT#NASDAQ">SRPT</a>) Elevidys treatment and evaluating the need for further regulatory action.
Since approval, the agency has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/safety-availability-biologics/fda-investigating-deaths-due-acute-liver-failure-non-ambulatory-duchenne-muscular-dystrophy-patients" rel="noreferrer noopener">received</a> two reports of fatal acute liver failure following treatment of non-ambulatory pediatric male patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) with Elevidys (delandistrogene moxeparvovec-rokl), an adeno-associated virus vector-based gene therapy.
The two reported deaths in non-ambulatory DMD patients appear to be related to treatment with Elevidys. Reports were received from clinical trial and postmarketing data.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/fda/25/06/45945282/sarepta-therapeutics-stock-plummets-over-40-on-second-fatal-case-linked-to-its-gene-therapy">Sarepta Therapeutics Stock Plummets Over 40% On Second Fatal Case Linked To Its Gene Therapy</a>
In these two cases, the patients presented with elevated transaminases and were hospitalized less than two months after treatment with Elevidys.
On Wednesday, HC Wainwright reiterated its Sell rating for Sarepta, maintaining a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/downgrades/25/06/46034962/analyst-downgrades-sarepta-as-elevidys-safety-clouds-future-demand">price forecast of $10</a>. Analyst Mitchell Kapoor stated his belief that &#8220;it is highly likely that the FDA will at least require updated language to the USPI to denote the risk of liver failure or death.&#8221;
The analyst says the worst-case scenario for Sarepta would be if the FDA ultimately required the company to withdraw Elevidys from the U.S. market.
Kapoor underscored a critical risk for Sarepta, stating, &#8220;If Elevidys were to be withdrawn, we see little intrinsic value remaining in the company.&#8221; 
Kapoor further highlighted the FDA as a potential headwind, noting that Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) head Vinay Prasad has previously voiced strong disapproval of Peter Marks&#8217; initial approval of Elevidys. 
This established skepticism from Dr. Prasad, even prior to the recent reports of liver failure deaths, suggests a likely reluctance to support Sarepta&#8217;s continued marketing of Elevidys.
For a broader perspective on Sarepta&#8217;s outlook, explore how other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SRPT/analyst-ratings">analysts view the stock</a>.
Price Action: SRPT stock is trading lower by 9.96% to $17.09 at last check Wednesday.
