Nvidia Features As Top Pick By UBS

$UBS Group(UBS.US)$ named chipmaker $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$ a "top pick," citing its "wide moats" in the sector. Plus, the company is enjoying tailwinds from $Micron Technology(MU.US)$ upbeat quarterly report, with officials noting they expect the chip shortage to ease over the coming year.
