In the first quarter of 2025, earnings are expected to remain weak due to delayed entry into the flagship system-on-a-chip (SoC) market. However, demand for core products such as image sensors and DDI is expected to increase on the back of flagship smartphone launches.
Looking ahead to the first quarter of 2025, earnings are expected to remain weak due to sluggish mobile demand and fixed-cost burden stemming from lower utilization rates.

Shall investors buy, sell or hold these companies? Here&#8217;s what technical analysis suggests.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Technical Analysis Of Visa And Mastercard</h3>
Technical analysis suggests both Visa and Mastercard stocks are currently overbought, indicating a potential correction may be imminent, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>. 
Visa shares closed Thursday at $343.05, significantly above its eight-day simple moving average of $331.69, 20-day average at $320.65, also 50 and 200-day averages of $316.42, and $285.73, respectively. The relative strength index of 80.35 further reinforces this overbought condition, suggesting recent rapid price increases may be unsustainable.

Mastercard shares, on the other hand, also exhibited a similar trend, closing Thursday at $566.01. This price is well above its eight-day average of $541.60, and 20-day average of $526.54. Also, 50 and 200-day averages of $526.67 and $484.31, respectively. With an RSI of 76.67, Mastercard&#8217;s stock is also considered overbought, signaling potential exhaustion of upward momentum and a possible sell signal.

Why Apple Shares Are Trading Higher; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

On Thursday, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) launched its RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards, only to see them sell out almost immediately.
What Happened: The highly anticipated Nvidia Series 5000 GPUs sold out rapidly, leaving many gamers frustrated, <a href="https://in.ign.com/nvidia-rtx-5080/223698/news/nvidia-rtx-5090-and-5080-sell-out-instantly-and-scalpers-are-already-cashing-in-with-6000-ebay-listi">reported</a> IGN. The GPUs were anticipated to have limited availability, a fact Nvidia had previously warned about.
Despite the warning, eager buyers lined up at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43242360/jensen-huang-mania-mirrors-taylor-swift-people-are-camping-outside-retailers-for-nvidia-5000-series-gpus">U.S. distributor Micro Center</a>, hoping to secure one of the coveted cards.
However, the limited stock led to scalpers listing the RTX 5090 on eBay for over $6,000, a significant markup from its $1,999 MSRP, the report noted.

Third-party manufacturers also increased prices, with the Asus ROG Astral model reaching $2,799.
As a result, gamers expressed their frustration online, with some calling it a &#8220;paper launch&#8221; due to the lack of available stock.
Why It Matters: The scarcity of these GPUs is partly due to a design flaw in Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell-based processors. This flaw affected production yields, impacting the availability of the RTX 5090 and 5080.

Nvidia&#8217;s focus on data center chips, which share the same manufacturing process, further strained consumer GPU production, the report stated.
Nvidia is expected to report its fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 26. Last quarter, it posted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42099904/nvidia-beats-q3-revenue-eps-estimates-supply-constraints-ding-stock-huang-says-age-of-ai-is-in-full-steam">revenue of $35.1 billion</a>, marking a 94% year-over-year surge and surpassing Wall Street's consensus estimate of $33.12 billion.
Price Action: Nvidia&#8217;s stock dipped 1.16% in pre-market trading to $123.20 on Friday after closing at $124.65 up 0.77% during regular hours on Thursday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
