<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The New Powerhouse: HPE and Nvidia AI Solutions</h2>
HPE announced "NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE," a robust portfolio designed to simplify and accelerate AI adoption in the enterprise sector. This groundbreaking initiative integrates Nvidia's cutting-edge compute capabilities (including L40S, H100, H200, GH200, GB200) and advanced networking solutions (Spectrum-X, InfiniBand) with HPE's server and storage solutions (ProLiant, Cray), as well as HPE's GreenLake cloud services, Chatterjee noted.
The centerpiece of this collaboration, "HPE Private Cloud AI," said Chatterjee, offers a cloud-like experience with full life-cycle management for enterprise AI workloads. This includes support for inference, fine-tuning and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), while ensuring security, transparency and governance. These are often key considerations for enterprise customers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Joint Go-To-Market Efforts</h2>
Chatterjee also highlighted that HPE and Nvidia are investing heavily in joint go-to-market strategies to ensure successful market penetration. This includes AI workshops and competency programs designed to enhance skills of the sales teams and channel partners. 
Early adopters such as Deloitte, HCLTech, Infosys Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INFY#NYSE">INFY</a>), TCS and Wipro Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WIT#NYSE">WIT</a>) are already on board, highlighting the momentum behind this initiative.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Positioning</h2>
Chatterjee believes the partnership with Nvidia marks a significant shift for HPE, which has lagged behind competitors like Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) and Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) in capturing demand from Tier 2 cloud service providers. 
By combining their strengths, HPE and Nvidia aim to leapfrog the competition in the enterprise AI market.
The HPE-Nvidia alliance represents a formidable force in the enterprise AI market. These tech giants are set to redefine AI solutions for enterprise customers, offering a compelling value proposition that is hard to ignore.

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Emerging market stocks to buy offer access to fast-growing economies and global growth drivers. Emerging economies are <a href="https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/Issues/2024/04/16/world-economic-outlook-april-2024">projected to grow</a> over 4% this year, compared to just 2% for developed economies. This growth, combined with attractive valuations, underscores the potential for portfolio diversification in emerging markets.



However, one key concern is how moves in foreign exchange rates could impact investment returns. For U.S.-based investors, a potential decline in the U.S. dollar (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/usd-stock-quote/">USD</a>) typically benefits emerging market exchange-traded stocks. Thus, with the <a href="https://www.investing.com/currencies/us-dollar-index">recent slight weakening</a> of the dollar and potential Federal Reserve rate cuts, these markets present an opportune investment landscape. 



So, let&rsquo;s explore three top emerging market stocks to buy in the second half of 2024.



<h2>Alibaba (BABA)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/alibaba_stock-300x169.jpg" alt="The Alibaba (BABA) logo featured outside of an office building with bushes in the background"><div>Source: zhu difeng / Shutterstock.com</div></div>First up on our list of emerging market stocks to buy is Alibaba (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/baba-stock-quote/">BABA</a>). The Chinese e-commerce giant operates various online platforms and services, positioning itself as a dominant force in China&rsquo;s digital economy, ripe with growth potential.



In mid-May, Alibaba posted its <a href="https://data.alibabagroup.com/ecms-files/1532295521/afdeaf9e-5dd7-4a18-8ff0-968a6807f09d/Alibaba%20Group%20Announces%20March%20Quarter%202024%20and%20Fiscal%20Year%202024%20Results.pdf">fourth quarter fiscal 2024</a> results. Revenue increased 7% year-over-year (YOY). However, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) declined 5% from the prior year, due to higher operational expenses from new initiatives and macroeconomic challenges. Nevertheless, Alibaba still returned money to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends.



Beyond capitalizing on China&rsquo;s growth and global expansion, Alibaba prioritizes advancing its technological prowess, specifically in generative artificial intelligence (AI). Its <a href="https://www.alibabagroup.com/en-US/document-1730004928354582528">recent collaboration with</a> the <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/01/3-luxury-retail-stocks-tailor-made-for-growth/">high-end retailer</a> LVMH Mo&euml;t Hennessy&nbsp;(OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/lvmhf-stock-quote/">LVMHF</a>) aims to elevate China&rsquo;s luxury shopping experience by leveraging Alibaba&rsquo;s cloud technologies and AI for personalized customer interactions. Furthermore, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/china-issues-draft-rules-expand-cross-border-e-commerce-2024-06-11/">China&rsquo;s proposed regulations</a> to bolster overseas warehouse construction and augment cross-border e-commerce present promising avenues for additional growth.



In addition to a modest gain of 1% year-to-date (YTD), BABA stock offers a 1.3% dividend yield. The shares trade at attractive valuations of 9.5 times forward earnings and <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnys/baba/quote">1.5 times sales</a>. Analysts hold optimistic forecasts with a <a href="https://www.indmoney.com/us-stocks/forecast/alibaba-group-stock-forecast">12-month median price</a> target of $106, suggesting a 35% upside potential.



<h2>Infosys (INFY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/infy-stock-300x169.jpg" alt="The regional office of Infosys (INFY) in Karnataka, India."><div>Source: AjayTvm / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Next up on today&rsquo;s list of emerging market stocks to buy is the India-headquartered digital services and consulting heavyweight Infosys (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/infy-stock-quote/">INFY</a>). The global company provides a wide array of services, including consulting, technology, outsourcing, and next-generation digital solutions.&nbsp;



In April, Infosys unveiled its <a href="https://www.infosys.com/investors/reports-filings/quarterly-results/2023-2024/q4/documents/ifrs-usd-press-release.pdf">fourth-quarter and full-year 2024</a> results, reporting flat quarterly revenue growth at $4.6 billion. Earnings per diluted share were 23 cents, up 28.8% YOY.&nbsp;For fiscal year 2025, Infosys projects cautious revenue growth of 1-3% in constant currency terms. Nonetheless, the company is proactively enhancing its offerings through strategic partnerships and acquisitions.



Notably, <a href="https://www.infosys.com/newsroom/press-releases/2024/collaborates-expand-healthcare-access-japan.html">collaborations with Nihon Chouzai</a>, which aim to enhance healthcare access in Japan, could enable remote consultations and online payments with pharmacists. Additionally, a <a href="https://www.infosys.com/newsroom/press-releases/2024/advanced-ai-led-innovations-roland-garros2024.html">partnership with the French Tennis Federation</a> introduced AI-powered features in the Roland Garros tournament in recent weeks, enhancing spectator experiences.



So far this year, INFY stock has declined nearly 3%, but offers an attractive 2.5% dividend yield. The shares are changing hands at 23.2 times forward earnings and <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnys/infy/quote">4 times sales</a>. Analysts project a <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/markets/stocks/infy">12-month median price forecast</a> of $19.3, signaling more than an&nbsp;8% upside.



<h2>iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China ETF (EMXC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/etf-blocks-1600-300x169.jpg" alt='the word "etf" spelled out in many yellow cubes against a background of many black cubes'><div>Source: shutterstock.com/Imagentle</div></div>Our final pick among emerging market stocks to buy is the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China ETF (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/emxc-stock-quote/">EMXC</a>). This exchange-traded fund gives access to <a href="https://www.ishares.com/us/products/288504/ishares-msci-emerging-markets-ex-china-etf/">large and mid-cap</a> emerging market stocks, excluding those from China. The fund began trading in August 2017.



EMXC holds 704 stocks, with the top ten accounting for nearly 25% of its $13.5 billion net assets.&nbsp; The fund&rsquo;s sector allocation is diverse, focusing on Information Technology (30%) and Financials (24%), along with Materials (8%), Industrials (8%), and Consumer Discretionary (7%). In terms of geographical distribution, assets are invested in India (26%) and Taiwan (25%). Other significant investments include South Korea (16%), Brazil (6%), and Saudi Arabia (5%).



Among the ETF&rsquo;s leading holdings are Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tsm-stock-quote/">TSM</a>), South Korean chip giant Samsung Electronics (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ssnlf-stock-quote/">SSNLF</a>), Indian multinational conglomerate Reliance Industries (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rlniy-stock-quote/">RLNIY</a>), South Korean semiconductor group SK Hynix (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hxscf-stock-quote/">HXSCF</a>), and Taiwan-based electronics maker Hon Hai Precision Industry (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hnhpf-stock-quote/">HNHPF</a>).



YTD, EMXC has gained almost 5%. The ETF is attractively valued, trading at 16 times trailing earnings and 2 times book value. Additionally, it boasts a relatively low expense ratio of 0.25% and offers a 2% dividend yield.

Top Growth And Dividend Long-Term Stocks For Mid-Year 2024

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Since not all companies are Wall Street favorites, particularly in an election year when President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have extremely different policy stances on key economic problems, stock downgrades may assist smart investors looking to maintain portfolio health.



Because of the Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvda-stock-quote/">NVDA</a>) boom, the Nasdaq Composite is up 18% and the S&amp;P 500 <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/stock-market-indicator-has-been-86-accurate-1984-and-it-signals-big-move-second-half-2024#:~:text=The%20S%26P%20500%20(SNPINDEX%3A%20%5E,sticky%20inflation%20reset%20those%20expectations.">is up 14% in the first half</a> of 2024. However, accommodating stock downgrades in your market analysis helps since the broad market index has fared poorly in years of presidential elections.



A further reason to think about stock downgrades to prevent portfolio laggards is that Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan are worried about the stock market in 2024.



Morgan Stanley <a href="https://www.morganstanley.com/im/en-au/institutional-investor/insights/series/2024-outlooks.html">is cautious because</a>, after a robust 2023 run, it feels that markets are overpriced. When the Federal rate drops, investor expectations might have been too high. The investment firm advises a well-rounded investment approach that emphasizes utilities, consumer goods, industrials, financials and value healthcare.



More cautiously, JPMorgan expects lower rates and a gradual unwinding of monetary policy but the global financial institution maintains a bearish view, believing the stock market is failing to reflect considerable risks <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-28/jpmorgan-s-kolanovic-warns-s-p-500-will-plummet-23-by-year-end">and that a crash to 4200</a> is possible.



Amid market volatilities, persistent inflation and the sole rate cut this year, companies with dwindling prospects and recent stock downgrades are in danger, which compels astute investors to evaluate their future chances.



<h2>Infosys (INFY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/infy-stock-300x169.jpg" alt="The regional office of Infosys (INFY) in Karnataka, India."><div>Source: AjayTvm / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Infosys (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/infy-stock-quote/">INFY</a>) is not getting many analysts to love it these days because architectural changes are weakening its competitive advantages. As the Indian outsourcing giant battles to stay relevant in a future driven by generative AI, its average price target of $18.59 predicts a 0.16% drop from $18.62.



Susquehanna Financial Group recently <a href="https://www.sahmcapital.com/news/content/susquehanna-maintains-negative-on-infosys-lowers-price-target-to-14-2024-04-19">maintained its negative outlook</a> and lowered its price target on the company due to concerns about discretionary work delays and pricing pressure from AI&rsquo;s wide availability and open sourcing.



In Q1 FY24, Infosys profits increased 11% year over year. Despite this, the business amended its FY24 sales outlook downward to 1% to 3.5%, disappointing the market and causing its NYSE American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) to decline 9%.



The declaration of a special dividend, announced with its Q1 results, did not perk up investor sentiment, already damaged thanks to INFY losing out on <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/indias-infosys-falls-after-15-bln-ai-deal-gets-terminated-2023-12-26/">a major $1.5 billion deal</a> with a worldwide artificial intelligence business.



Infosys&rsquo; volatility has been worsened by CFO Nilanjan Roy&rsquo;s unexpected resignation. His departure comes after the huge AI arrangement fell through, making it harder for the company to reassure investors and the market. Unsurprisingly, the stock is copping several downgrades.



<h2>UiPath (PATH)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/path1600-300x169.png" alt="In this photo illustration the UiPath (PATH) logo is displayed on a smartphone."><div>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Citing macroeconomic concerns and a CEO change, Needham and BofA Securities cut their ratings on UiPath (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/path-stock-quote/">PATH</a>) from Buy to Hold to Buy to Neutral, respectively.



UiPath&rsquo;s shares <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/29/uipath-shares-tank-30percent-after-company-announces-ceo-shakeup.html">slumped more than 30%</a> the day CEO Robert Enslin departed. A poor first quarter, a poor second quarter, and a fiscal year 2025 projection led to this considerable decline. The company changed its projection, citing poor execution of a sales strategy, scaling up of growth products and failed investments.



Though its return on equity and net margin were negative, UiPath&rsquo;s most recent quarter results did match Wall Street forecasts. Investors have turned off this performance, the macroeconomic backdrop and the company&rsquo;s poor execution.



Conversely, <a href="https://forum.uipath.com/t/uipath-community-2024-4-release/737303">the most recent community release</a>, Community 2024.4, has new Semantic Activities for form automation, UI Automation Activities and an upgraded Vision Transformer AI model for UI element recognition.



With the aim of <a href="https://www.uipath.com/newsroom/uipath-automation-cloud-now-available-in-the-uk-on-microsoft-azure">extending cloud-based automation capabilities</a> for businesses in the UK, UiPath has declared that its Automation Cloud service is now accessible there on Microsoft Azure.



Furthermore, <a href="https://www.uipath.com/blog/ai/docpath-information-extraction-large-language-model">DocPath is a huge language model</a> of UiPath to extract data from business documents. One of UiPath&rsquo;s ongoing AI integration into automation systems consists in this effort.



Still, markets and stock declines don&rsquo;t really show this. Rather, the near-term decline is on the minds of investors, which distinguishes PATH in stock downgrades.



<h2>Airbnb (ABNB)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/abnb-1600-300x169.png" alt="meone holds the Airbnb logo in front of Dresden, Germany landscape. ABNB stock."><div>Source: AlesiaKan / Shutterstock</div></div>Among numerous research firms questioning Airbnb (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/abnb-stock-quote/">ABNB</a>) on growth concerns is Barclays. Barclays <a href="https://quantisnow.com/insight/airbnb-downgraded-by-barclays-with-a-new-price-target-5131483">established a $100 price target</a> while Airbnb slipped from Equalweight to Underweight. To blame are consumer financial issues, pent-up demand and online travel slow-down. Mario Lu of Barclays also spoke about economic risks and other lodging options.



Furthermore, CTO Aristotle Balogh and Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/company-news/airbnb-cto-sells-shares-worth-over-89k-93CH-3500108">are selling significant shares</a>, which is never good for investor trust. For $17 million, Chesky sold 115,385 shares; Balogh 600 for $89,000.



Airbnb was <a href="https://apnews.com/article/airbnb-australia-misleading-false-fine-47cafea4314f0f5dcd837c3bd1fd4d1f">fined $10 million in Australia</a> for misreading online currency conversion. Brisbane has likewise cracked down on Airbnb to increase long-term housing.



New York, <a href="https://sfplanning.org/str/faqs-short-term-rentals">San Francisco</a> and Los Angeles already have tight short-term renting regulations. Renting days are restricted and venues need registering. Local housing and zoning disputes continually challenge Airbnb. Legal concerns usually center on how <a href="https://granicus.com/blog/are-short-term-vacation-rentals-contributing-to-the-housing-crisis/">short-term rentals impact house availability</a> and pricing. 



Increasing competition for Airbnb <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/how-home-swapping-became-the-trendy-alternative-to-airbnb-1.2085930">also comes from home exchange services</a> like HomeExchange and Kindred, which are becoming more and more sought after as reasonably priced alternatives for rising travel costs.
