Nvidia (NYSE: NVDA)
Nvidia is currently among the most popular stocks on WallStreetBets. The stock has been in the news after the company abandoned the acquisition of Arm Holdings from SoftBank. The deal’s future was always uncertain given the opposition from regulators in the UK. Nvidia also releases its earnings next week and we might get more details on the now-abandoned Arm deal.
NVDA is among the top trending stock on WallStreetBets
AMD is the top trending stock on WallStreetBets followed by Nvidia. Last week, UBS reiterated its bullish rating on NVDA ahead of the earnings. In its note, UBS said, “Despite ongoing supply constraints, we expect strong results with revenue guided ~$7.4B or maybe slightly higher as gaming should remain better-than-seasonal due to ongoing channel fill and data center continues to grow >60% YoY before comps there start to become more challenging later this year.”
NVDA stock has fallen sharply amid the sell-off in growth names. However, the stock’s valuations now look quite reasonable. Nvidia has created significant wealth for investors over the last decade and many WallStreetBets members believe that it could continue to be a multibagger stock in coming years as well.

However, its EPS came in at $3.67 in the quarter which was below the $3.84 that analysts were expecting.

WallStreetBets likes FB stock despite headwinds
Meta Platforms said that it expects to post revenues between $27-$29 billion in the first quarter which would mean a YoY growth between 3-11%. The company’s guidance fell short of the $30.1 billion that analysts were expecting. It said that its revenues in the quarter would be negatively impacted by both impressions and price growth.
The company expects Apple’s iPhone privacy rules to lower its this year’s revenues by as much as $10 billion. However, despite these headwinds, WallStreetBets members are optimistic about the company.
Meta Platforms’ valuations look quite reasonable and it is among the best FAANG stock to buy at these prices. Most Wall Street analysts also share WallStreetBets’ optimism about Meta Platforms.

Disney stock has been trending on WallStreetBets after the company’s fiscal first-quarter 2022 earnings. The earnings, which were released last week, showed that Disney’s topline, as well as bottomline, increased more than expected in the quarter. Importantly, it added almost 12 million Disney+ subscribers in the quarter which was way ahead of estimates.

Most Wall Street analysts issued bullish notes on Disney stock after the earnings. WallStreetBets members also share the optimism and most of them are bullish on the stock. Goldman Sachs maintained its buy rating and assigned a $205 target price on Disney post the earnings release.
“The material beats to Parks revenue and operating income supports our outlook for structurally improved economics post-pandemic. This is because DIS’s record results in this segment were achieved despite capacity constraints in the US and continued COVID-related pressures in International,” said Goldman Sachs in its note. It added, “We have increased our near- and longer-term forecasts for Parks revenue and OI, as we expect that DIS will sustain per caps above pre-Covid levels driving higher post-pandemic margins.”
While Disney’s Parks segment benefited from increased attendance, the streaming business also continued its growth trajectory. The streaming business has done quite well since the launch in 2019 and barring an odd quarter, the numbers have looked impressive.
Disney looks among the best stocks to buy for 2022 and for a change Wall Street analysts and WallStreetBets members have similar views on a stock.
