The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights NVIDIA, ExxonMobil and HSBC

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – August 31, 2026 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA - Free Report) , ExxonMobil Holdings Corp. (XOM - Free Report) and HSBC Holdings plc (HSBC - Free Report)
Here are highlights from Friday’s Analyst Blog:
Top Stock Reports for NVIDIA, ExxonMovil and HSBC
The Zacks Research Daily presents the best research output of our analyst team. Today's Research Daily features new research reports on 16 major stocks, including NVIDIA Corp., ExxonMobil Holdings Corp. and HSBC Holdings plc. These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today.
Shares of NVIDIA have gained +22.4% over the year-to-date period against the Zacks Semiconductor - General industry's gain of +28.5%. The company continues to benefit from broad demand for accelerated computing as customers build AI factories across hyperscalers, AI clouds, enterprises and sovereign buyers. Blackwell Ultra is supporting growth while Vera Rubin broadens the platform across GPUs, CPUs, networking and software.
Customer diversification, rising system content and recurring usage-linked opportunities extend the long-term runway, while cash generation supports substantial capital returns.
However, the investment case carries greater balance-sheet and execution exposure as NVIDIA expands supply commitments, customer credit support and long-dated guarantees. China remains largely closed to data center compute, while customer concentration, rising operating investment and competition add uncertainty. These offsetting forces support a balanced risk-reward profile.
ExxonMobil's shares have gained +32.9% over the year-to-date period against the Zacks Oil and Gas - Integrated - International industry's gain of +33.4%. The company's investment case remains balanced between advantaged upstream growth and persistent market risk. Record Permian output, continued Guyana development and LNG expansion support long-duration production and cash flow, while structural cost savings and low leverage strengthen financial flexibility and shareholder returns.
However, earnings remain exposed to volatile oil, gas, refining and chemical markets, with Middle East disruptions adding operating uncertainty. The pause of the Baytown blue hydrogen project due to insufficient demand also highlights weaker commercial visibility for emerging businesses and greater policy sensitivity.
Product Solutions results can swing sharply with market conditions, while returns from newer investments depend on execution, customer adoption and durable demand over time.
Shares of HSBC have outperformed the Zacks Banks - Foreign industry over the year-to-date period (+36.6% vs. +19.6%). The company's second-quarter 2026 results were aided by higher revenues. Wealth momentum in Asia continues to benefit from higher customer activity, rising balances and net new money, while the completed Hang Seng Bank privatization and ongoing business divestitures will simplify operations and support medium-term efficiency.
A robust capital position and global footprint will likely support its financials. However, the company has guided for higher expected credit losses (ECL) this year because of overlays tied to Middle East events and absorption of an idiosyncratic fraud-related charge.
Operating expenses are expected to remain elevated as the company invests in technology and distribution capabilities. Further, revenue visibility will depend on volatile rates and activity.
