Shares of L&T Technology Services zoomed Wednesday on news the Indian engineering consultant will execute a contract for American firms Mavenir and NVIDIA Corporation.

The stock, which struck a one-year high in intra-day trade on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), ended 5.75% higher at INR5,675.50, ($76.42), valuing the provider of research and development (R&D) services at around INR598bn.

AI-on-5G platform

This was after L&T Technology Services (LTTS) said it will help software developer Mavenir deploy artificial intelligence (AI) driven applications on AI computing provider NVIDIA’s fifth-generation (5G) platforms.

“AI is already transforming many industries across the globe”, LTTS told shareholders in a 17 November stock market statement. “When combined with the power of 5G networks, the two technologies will enable powerful new use cases in a quick, secure, and cost-effective manner”.

NVIDIA’s AI-on-5G platform “brings together developments at the edge to accelerate the digital transformation of enterprises across all industries. 5G provides the underlying connectivity for billions of devices, extending AI’s reach to all connected objects and enabling new use cases and new markets”, the statement added.

“LTTS’ expertise in digital engineering will help accelerate the adoption of AI-on-5G platforms at the edge globally,” NVIDIA’s AI and 5G industry general manager Soma Velayutham commented.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
