Wedbush spotlights DELL, NVDA, MSFT, and others as rate cuts should support the AI trend

Wedbush analysts spotlighted that information technology stocks that are tied to artificial intelligence (AI) have a chance to move higher with the Federal Reserve widely expected to step in and start cutting interest rates this week.

“In a nutshell we believe the stage is set for tech stocks to move higher into year-end and 2025 in our opinion as the Fed and Powell kick off its rate cutting cycle this week, macro soft landing remains the path, and tech spending on AI remains a generational spending cycle just starting to hit the shores of the tech sector,” said Wedbush analysts, led by Daniel Ives.
