Nvidia Features As Top Pick By UBS

UBS named chipmaker Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) a "top pick," citing its "wide moats" in the sector. Plus, the company is enjoying tailwinds from Micron Technology Inc's (NASDAQ:MU) upbeat quarterly report, with officials noting they expect the chip shortage to ease over the coming year.

* Analyst Timothy Arcuri believes that Nvidia will likely benefit from building more "stable" revenue sources around its GPU and software moats. At the same time, Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MRVL) can use its "broad portfolio" and 5-nanometer investments in a host of new applications and opportunities. UBS has a buy rating on Nvidia.
