Commentary
As of 29 February 2024
Market Highlights
Contributors: NVIDIA Corporation continued to outperform this month after the company published results that beat already-elevated market expectations. Management commented that AI GPU demand continues to outstrip supply and is confident in growth for the foreseeable future, confirming a more prolonged ramp for the AI ecosystem. Meta Platforms Inc. Class A shares outperformed on the back of better-than-expected quarterly results at the beginning of February. The pivot in capex instigated last year and the conscious decision to reinvest in core Facebook platforms (Reels) have increased user engagement as well as driven a sharp acceleration in advertising revenue. Samsonite International S.A. shares soared at the end of the month after the market speculated that private equity may be interested in acquiring the business, a potentially value-creative move. The company has refrained from commenting on the issue.
Detractors: Sony Group Corporation struggled to perform in February after the company published lacklustre medium-term guidance and continues to expect structural challenges in the gaming segment to dampen profit growth. The company subsequently announced that it would be laying off 900 employees in the gaming business and closing down the London studio. Amadeus IT Group SA struggled to perform ahead of its quarterly results at the end of the month as investors feared that an accelerated decline in the use of travel-booking services would challenge the outlook for the company. HDFC Bank Limited shares continued to struggle in February as concerns over short-term margins, growth and merger-related weakness dominate sentiment around the stock.
