NVIDIA v 1. čtvrtletí fiskálního roku 2027 zvýšila tržby na 81,615 miliardy USD, meziročně o 85,23 %, a tržby datového centra vzrostly na 75,246 miliardy USD, o 92 %.
I keep buying NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction), and the buy button has become a habit. Every quarter sharpens the case for adding shares. This is my highest-conviction position because the world is rewiring itself around AI compute, and Jensen Huang’s company is the toll booth on the road everyone is paving.
AI is moving from single-shot chatbots to continuous, multi-step agentic workflows that multiply compute and memory demands on every data center. Huang put it bluntly on the last call: “The buildout of AI factories, the largest infrastructure expansion in human history, is accelerating at extraordinary speed.” Reasoning models chew through a hundred to a thousand times more tokens than a one-shot query. Every token routes through NVIDIA silicon.
The Receipts I Keep Coming Back To Q1 FY2027 revenue landed at $81.615 billion, up 85.23% year over year, with Data Center at $75.246 billion (+92%). Data Center Networking at $14.8 billion, up 199% shows the full-stack moat in the P&L. NVLink, Spectrum-X, and InfiniBand are the plumbing agentic AI needs, and customers are paying for the whole rack.
Profitability: Non-GAAP gross margin of 75.0%, ROE of 101.5%, ROIC of 92.2%, and net debt/EBITDA of 0.006. Free cash flow was $48.554 billion in a single quarter. That balance sheet funds the next architecture cycle without asking for permission.
Capital return signals management sees runway ahead. The quarterly dividend rose from $0.01 to $0.25, and the board added an $80 billion buyback authorization on top of the $38.5 billion already outstanding. Companies that think the story is ending do not do that.
Why NVIDIA Over the Obvious Alternative The name a reader reaches for first is Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD). I own some, but my incremental dollar lands here. The reason is the networking line. A GPU competitor can match a chip. Matching CUDA, NVLink Fusion, Spectrum-X, and the software stack that runs in every cloud and every frontier model is a different problem. Even Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) chose to co-develop custom data center and PC products with NVIDIA using NVLink. When your rival plugs into your interconnect, that is the moat announcing itself.
The Risk I Refuse to Wave Away China export controls are real. Q1 saw no H20 shipments to China, and Q2 guidance of $91.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, explicitly assumes zero China Data Center compute. Add $119 billion in supply commitments and hyperscaler concentration near 50% of Data Center revenue, and concentration risk is real. Demand outside China absorbs supply faster than TSMC can print wafers. The roadmap from Blackwell Ultra to Vera Rubin gives multi-year visibility into a product cycle customers have already committed capital toward.
Why the Buy Button Stays Active At $224.09 and a P/E near 45, This is a premium multiple, paid for a company earning $1.87 a share off a 5-for-5 beat streak while building the operating system for the next industrial revolution. As long as agentic AI multiplies tokens, and NVIDIA remains the only place they can run at scale, my next contribution goes to the same ticker.

Nvidia oznámila rekordní výnosy z datových center a sítí ve výši 14,8 miliardy USD za první fiskální čtvrtletí 2027, meziročně o 199 % více. Síťové technologie se pro ni stávají klíčovým růstovým motorem vedle GPU.
Nvidia (NVDA +3.03%) continues to be a dominant force in the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, thanks largely to its industry-leading graphics processing units (GPUs). But another type of technology is becoming increasingly important to the company's growth.
Nvidia generated a record $14.8 billion in data center networking revenue in its fiscal 2027 first quarter (which ended April 26), up 199% year over year. Networking revenue rose from $8.6 billion in its fiscal 2024 to $13 billion in its fiscal 2025 and to $31.4 billion in its fiscal 2026. Its opportunity in the space could become even larger as AI clusters scale further and require increasingly powerful networking infrastructure to connect many thousands of accelerator chips together.

Networking is becoming a major growth engine Modern AI systems increasingly depend on high-performance networking as well as raw computing power. Training and running increasingly sophisticated models requires massive amounts of data to be moved rapidly among large numbers of accelerators and data storage devices. If the network cannot keep up, communication can become a bottleneck that reduces GPU utilization and slows AI workloads.

Nvidia's NVLink technology connects GPUs inside powerful AI rack systems, while Spectrum-X Ethernet connects servers and racks across larger data centers. As AI systems scale, the company has more opportunities to sell networking and interconnect technology alongside its computing hardware.
According to research firm IDC, Nvidia captured 21.5% of data center Ethernet switching revenue in the first quarter of 2026, making it the market leader.
Custom AI chips are strengthening the networking opportunity Custom AI chips are a growing competitive threat to Nvidia's GPUs. But the NVLink Fusion rack-scale platform could cushion the company against that threat by allowing some custom processors to work alongside its networking and infrastructure technologies. That gives it another way to benefit from the rising AI infrastructure spending, even in cases when it doesn't supply the AI accelerators.
Nvidia has also expanded its partnership with custom chip designer Marvell Technology (MRVL +2.25%). Under the partnership, Marvell will provide custom accelerators and the networking hardware needed to connect those processors at high speeds, while Nvidia will supply technologies including NVLink high-speed interconnect technology, Spectrum-X switches, ConnectX network adapters, and BlueField data processing units.
Nvidia's networking business will not benefit from every custom AI chip. Customers can still choose competing networking technologies, and its networking gains may not fully compensate for the loss of lucrative GPU sales to rival chipmakers.
Competition is also significant, with market research firm IDC estimating Arista Networks' share of the data center Ethernet switching market at 20.7%, marginally below Nvidia's 21.5% share.
Still, Nvidia is trying to sell more of the technology that goes into each AI data center, rather than relying so heavily on its GPUs.
Networking could help support a $7.5 trillion market capitalization for Nvidia Nvidia is trading now at around 24.1 times Wall Street's fiscal 2027 earnings estimate of about $9 per share (as of Aug. 12). Analysts currently expect its earnings to increase to approximately $12.90 per share in fiscal 2028.
If Nvidia delivers on those expectations and continues to trade at roughly the same forward valuation, its market capitalization could approach $7.5 trillion, compared to roughly $5.3 trillion today. However, valuation compression would limit its upside even if earnings rise.
Still, networking is no longer a peripheral business for Nvidia. As AI factories become larger and more communication-intensive, Nvidia's ability to sell more of the infrastructure surrounding its chips could become an increasingly important part of its next phase of growth.
Nvidia uzavřela se sedmi japonskými průmyslovými giganty dohodu o fyzické AI, která má zajistit dlouhodobou poptávku po jejích čipech a softwaru. Součástí je i japonský plán investic přes 370 bilionů jenů do fyzické AI, polovodičů a datových center do roku 2040.
When Jensen Huang flew to Tokyo last month and signed seven Japanese industrial giants into Nvidia's (NVDA +3.03%) new physical AI coalition, he was locking in a massive, long-lived stream of demand for Nvidia's chips and software, and that is something I think investors should really pay attention to.

"Physical AI" refers to AI that controls robots, factory lines, and machines in the real world instead of just chatbots on a screen. In mid-July, Nvidia announced that companies like Fujitsu, FANUC, Yaskawa Electric, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, along with Hitachi, NEC, SoftBank, Sony, and Kubota, intend to build on its Cosmos, Isaac, Metropolis, and Jetson platforms as part of a "Cosmos Coalition" focused on physical AI. Put simply, these are some of Japan's biggest names in robotics, manufacturing, and communications agreeing to standardize on Nvidia's stack as they build the brains for next-generation industrial automation.
Behind the coalition sits an even larger national project. Nvidia is partnering with Noetra, a Japanese AI consortium backed by Sony, SoftBank, Honda, and dozens of other firms, to build what it calls the world's first national infrastructure for physical AI. The centerpiece of that effort will be a Vera Rubin AI factory that will feature 13,750 Vera CPUs and 27,500 Rubin GPUs, delivering about 140 megawatts of compute capacity to train and deploy physical AI models. Japan's industry ministry has framed this as the computing backbone for its FRONTia program, and expects that it will help the country hit its goal of capturing 30% of the global AI robotics market by 2040.

What about Nvidia shareholders? On top of that, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's government has laid out a plan to mobilize more than 370 trillion yen ($2.3 trillion) in combined public and private investment by 2040 across physical AI, semiconductors, and data centers. Noetra's own roadmap calls for roughly 1 trillion yen ($6.3 billion) of sovereign AI spending over five years to develop domestic foundation models for robots and industrial AI. When you add up the national AI factory, the robot makers building on Cosmos, and Japan's broader tech investment targets, you are talking about demand that lives comfortably in the trillion-dollar range over the coming decades.
For Nvidia shareholders, the important part is not just that these orders exist. It is that they represent multiyear infrastructure-level commitments that are hard to unwind. FANUC and Yaskawa are not going to rip out their control platforms every cycle. A sovereign AI factory is not built for a single experiment. By turning physical AI into a coalition and tying it to Japan's long-term industrial strategy, Huang is trying to make Nvidia's chips and tools the default choice for robots and factories in one of the world's most advanced manufacturing economies.
That is what confirmed demand really means here. It is not a one-off spike in GPU sales. It is governments and industrial giants literally planning their futures around Nvidia's hardware and software, which gives its shareholders much more visibility into where revenue and profit margins might come from years down the line.
Výsledková sezóna podle Sotáka nepotvrdila žádné oslabení AI cyklu a poptávka po výpočetním výkonu dál převyšuje nabídku. Nvidia zůstává jeho první volbou.
Obsah:
00:41 AI cyklus jede dál
01:57 Návratnost investic
04:43 IPO Anthropic a OpenAI
06:02 Boj o kapitál
07:59 Compute jako nová třída aktiv
13:45 Univerzální Nvidia
21:29 Pozitivní AI obrázek
Výsledková sezóna nepřinesla jediný zásadní signál, který by zpochybňoval pokračování investičního cyklu kolem umělé inteligence. AI investiční příběh se tak po další výsledkové sezóně nejen nezhoršil, ale v některých ohledech vypadá ještě přesvědčivěji než před několika měsíci. Branislav Soták zůstává přesvědčený, že poptávka po výpočetním výkonu stále převyšuje nabídku a že současný cyklus investic do umělé inteligence má prostor pokračovat. „Za celou výsledkovou sezónu si momentálně nedokážu vybavit jediné vysloveně špatné číslo. Samozřejmě jsme místy viděli slabší reakce akcií na výsledky, ale jednotlivé indikace o stavu AI cyklu prakticky všechny ukazují, že bude pokračovat,“ říká Soták.
Kdo na AI skutečně vydělává?
Jednou z klíčových otázek současného cyklu zůstává monetizace. Podle Sotáka se paradoxně jako rizikovější část AI ekosystému profilují společnosti na jeho konci – takzvané frontier AI laboratoře, které vyvíjejí nejpokročilejší modely. Patří sem například OpenAI nebo Anthropic. Ekonomika samotných modelů je navíc pod tlakem konkurence. Open-source modely ze Západu i z Číny tlačí ceny dolů a část výpočetní zátěže se přesouvá k volně dostupným a méně výkonným modelům. To podle Sotáka znamená, že zisková marže se zatím ve větší míře přesouvá jinam. „Zatím ten profit podle všeho zůstává v hardwaru,“ říká.
Výsledková sezóna přesto přinesla pozitivní signály i ze softwarové části trhu. Soták jako výrazného vítěze zmiňuje Microsoft, přičemž velmi dobrá čísla představil také Palantir. Hodnota se tak podle něj začíná ukazovat i u firem, které vlastní infrastrukturu nebo vrstvu pod samotnými jazykovými modely.
IPO Anthropic ano, u OpenAI je Soták opatrnější
Pozornost investorů se bude soustředit také na budoucí IPO společností Anthropic a OpenAI. U první z nich je Soták výrazně optimističtější. „Anthropic je nejrychleji rostoucí firmou a podle všech indicií dokáže růst dokonce profitabilně i na frontier vrstvě, která je poměrně drahá. Pokud se dostane na trh, jeho IPO velmi pravděpodobně bude úspěšné,“ míní.
U OpenAI je naopak opatrnější. Problém podle něj není pouze v managementu, ale především v ekonomice podnikání. Firma sice rychle roste, její růst je ale velmi nákladný a spotřebovává prakticky všechny generované tržby. „OpenAI stále funguje se ztrátou a myslím, že k bodu zvratu má ještě poměrně daleko. Tady bych takovým optimistou nebyl,“ říká.
Na scénu vstupuje „compute“ jako nová třída aktiv
Případná dvě velká IPO navíc přicházejí v době, kdy se o kapitál uchází stále více projektů. Konkurence na kapitálových trzích roste nejen kvůli obrovskému americkému rozpočtovému deficitu, ale také kvůli makroekonomickému vývoji v Japonsku a financování samotné AI infrastruktury. Právě zde Soták vidí jeden z nejzajímavějších posunů posledních týdnů: Nvidia společně s velkými finančními institucemi, mezi něž patří Goldman Sachs, BlackRock či Blackstone, oznámila záměr mobilizovat až 500 miliard dolarů institucionálního kapitálu pro financování výpočetního výkonu. Výpočetní výkon by se tak mohl stát samostatně investovatelnou třídou aktiv. To může podle Sotáka zásadně změnit dostupnost a cenu kapitálu pro výstavbu datacenter.
„Třetí strany budou schopné investovat do výpočetního výkonu jako do nezávislé třídy aktiv. To je velmi zajímavé z hlediska dostupnosti kapitálu i nákladů financování,“ říká. Argumentem je podle něj i velikost potenciálního kapitálu. David Solomon z Goldman Sachs v této souvislosti upozornil, že jen v amerických money-market fondech je zaparkováno přibližně 9 bilionů dolarů, zatímco americký akciový trh má kapitalizaci kolem 100 bilionů dolarů. Kapitálu tedy podle Sotáka na trhu pravděpodobně je dostatek, jde především o to vytvořit mechanismus, který jej nasměruje do nové třídy aktiv.
V budoucnu si přitom lze představit standardizované finanční produkty navázané na výpočetní výkon – například forwardy či futures na kapacitu datacenter. „Mohou vzniknout standardizované produkty a otevřít se nový trh, který těm, kdo tuto infrastrukturu financují, zajistí větší dostupnost kapitálu a kapitál také zlevní,“ říká.
Současně ale upozorňuje, že finanční inženýrství samo o sobě neřeší otázku návratnosti. Právě zde vzniká paralela s hypoteční krizí, která je s podobnými finančními konstrukcemi historicky spojována. „Zatím tak daleko ještě nejsme. Finanční trhy jsou od toho, aby efektivně alokovaly kapitál, a většinu času to dělají poměrně dobře,“ konstatuje Soták. Riziko podle něj vzniká ve chvíli, kdy se na produktivní aktiva začne nabalovat příliš mnoho spekulace.
Zatím podle něj ale trh spíše vytváří novou investiční infrastrukturu než spekulativní bublinu. A první výsledky naznačují, že financování skutečně zlevňuje. CoreWeave například podle posledních výsledků zaznamenal meziroční pokles procentních nákladů na obsluhu dluhu.
Nvidia získává další výhodu
Nový způsob financování může být důležitý také pro samotnou Nvidii. Pokud se budou datacentra financovat jako samostatná produktivní aktiva, bude záležet na tom, jaký hardware v nich bude instalován. A právě zde má Nvidia podle Sotáka silnou pozici. Její čipy jsou univerzální a podporují širokou škálu modelů. Nad hardwarem navíc stojí softwarová vrstva CUDA, která umožňuje výkon dále optimalizovat.
Ještě důležitější je podle něj skutečnost, že Nvidia je ochotna poskytnout záruky za část financování. Pokud by nebyla dostatečná poptávka po nově vybudovaných kapacitách, Nvidia by podle oznámení převzala reziduální hodnotu části hardwaru. To přímo míří na jeden z hlavních argumentů medvědů kolem AI. Ti upozorňují, že hardware může zastarávat rychleji, než se investice vrátí.
Praxe ale podle Sotáka začíná ukazovat něco jiného. Hyperscaleři původně počítali s užitečnou životností GPU serverů kolem tří let, dnes ji řada z nich prodlužuje až na šest let. CoreWeave navíc uzavřel kontrakt na cluster postavený na čipech Nvidia A100 z roku 2020, který má trvat až do roku 2029. „To znamená, že i devět let po uvedení a instalaci čipu si tento hardware stále najde ekonomické využití. To poměrně výrazně nabourává tezi o rychlé depreciaci a negativním dopadu na profitabilitu,“ upozorňuje Soták.
Dalším argumentem je vývoj cen za pronájem GPU výkonu. U čipů H100 podle Nvidie vzrostla cena zhruba z 1,70 dolaru za GPU hodinu v roce 2025 na 2,40 dolaru. U novějšího Blackwellu se ve stejném období cena zvýšila přibližně z 5,30 na 7 dolarů. Podle Sotáka to podporuje tezi, že AI datacentrum není pouze rychle zastarávající hardware, ale může představovat produktivní aktivum, jehož výnosnost se díky růstu poptávky, cenové síle a technologickému pokroku zvyšuje.
Nvidia zůstává první volbou
Pokud jde o samotné investice do polovodičového řetězce, Soták v současnosti nevidí důvod hledat složitější alternativu. „Pokud se bavíme o poměru očekávaného nebo viditelného růstu a ceny, byla by to v tuto chvíli Nvidia. Moc bych nespekuloval s jinými jmény a volil bych lídra,“ říká. Nvidia je podle něj výjimečná tím, že má expozici na více částí dodavatelského řetězce. A zatímco se často hovoří o jednotlivých úzkých hrdlech, jejich význam je nakonec odvozen od samotné poptávky po výpočetním výkonu. Tu Nvidia stále ve velké míře obsluhuje.
Nová generace Vera Rubin by navíc měla podle Sotáka nabíhat do výroby rychleji než Blackwell. „Tempo růstu, které je enormní z té velké báze, na které Nvidia je, se pravděpodobně ani v dohledné době výrazně nezpomalí,“ domnívá se.
Příležitosti vidí ale i v síťové a optické infrastruktuře. Výsledky společností Lumentum a Coherent by měly přinést další indikaci o síle této poptávky. Rychlejší datová centra podle Sotáka totiž narážejí na fyzikální limity měděných spojů, což podporuje přechod k optickým technologiím. Valuace těchto firem jsou ovšem podle něj oproti Nvidii na jiné úrovni.
AI cyklus zůstává v dobré kondici
Celkový obrázek po výsledkové sezóně je tak podle Sotáka pozitivní. A možná ještě pozitivnější než na jejím začátku. Důležitá je přitom nejen síla jednotlivých firem, ale skutečnost, že AI komplex má dnes výrazný vliv na celý akciový trh. Když se v červenci AI segment otřásl, otřásl se podle Sotáka i celý trh. „Celková zpráva o stavu AI cyklu je z mého pohledu i po této výsledkové sezóně velmi pozitivní a možná pozitivnější, než byla na jejím začátku,“ uzavírá.
CoreWeave uzavřel smlouvu na GPU Nvidia A100 až do roku 2029, což ukazuje, že i starší čipy mohou dál vydělávat. Firma tvrdí, že jejich životnost může být delší, než investoři čekají.
Wall Street’s AI conversation has become fixated on Nvidia Corp‘s (NASDAQ:NVDA) newest chips. CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWV), however, used its second quarter earnings call to make a different point: older GPUs may have far more earning power than investors think.
The cloud infrastructure provider revealed it recently signed a customer contract for Nvidia’s A100 GPUs that extends through 2029—nearly a decade after the chip debuted.
More importantly, management suggested this isn’t an exception but evidence that AI infrastructure can continue generating attractive returns long after its first deployment.
CoreWeave Sees Long-Term Value in Older Nvidia GPUsThe clearest indication came from CFO Nitin Navin, who highlighted the longevity of one of the company’s latest deals. “We recently signed an A100 contract that extends into 2029 at an attractive price. As a reminder, this SKU was introduced in 2020,” Navin said.
CEO Michael Intrator expanded on that point, arguing the contract offers a glimpse into how AI infrastructure could be monetized over a much longer period than many investors currently assume.
“The fact that we have been able to go ahead and sell a GPU whose architecture was from 2020 in a contract that was fully priced out to 2029 really provides some insight into what the future is going to look like,” Intrator said.
Those comments challenge a common assumption in the AI infrastructure market—that each new generation of Nvidia chips quickly renders older hardware economically obsolete.
Instead, CoreWeave is signaling that mature GPUs can continue attracting customers if the workload and pricing remain attractive.

CoreWeave’s GPU Strategy Goes Beyond the First ContractThe company also hinted that older hardware could generate revenue more than once.
Navin said every time an existing GPU is renewed or redeployed after its initial contract, the revenue comes on top of returns already earned during the original lease. “Every resale or renewal is incremental on top of the returns already earned within the initial term,” he said.
Intrator added that managed inference—a business the company expects to surpass $250 million in annual recurring revenue by the end of 2026—offers another avenue for putting GPUs coming off contract back to work rather than leaving them idle.
For investors, the takeaway extends beyond a single A100 contract. If CoreWeave can consistently renew, redeploy or repurpose older GPUs into new customer agreements and inference workloads, the economic life of its infrastructure could prove much longer than many expect.
That would allow the company to generate additional returns from assets already on its balance sheet. A dynamic that could become increasingly important as the AI market moves beyond the race for the latest chips and toward maximizing the value of existing GPU fleets.

Meta a Nvidia tento týden vydaly vývojářům zdarma otevřené modely AI, čímž se postavily proti uzavřeným modelům OpenAI a Anthropic. Meta zároveň vrací své nejvýkonnější modely do open-source ekosystému.
Last month, American tech giants came together to urge policymakers not to place "premature restrictions" on open-weight AI models, even if they're from China. Now, two of those companies are making a concerted effort to compete by introducing their own open offerings.
Meta and Nvidia both released artificial intelligence models this week that are available for developers to download for free via the open-source ecosystem, a contrast to the popular proprietary models from OpenAI and Anthropic.
Open-source AI has become a contentious topic from Silicon Valley to Washington, D.C., with critics raising concerns about the potential national security risks of Chinese models, and of the AI training practice called distillation, which can be viewed as a form of intellectual property theft. Meanwhile, most of the industry's leading players contend that restricting use of the models would be to our own detriment and would place too much power in the hands of too few companies.
"The age of AI can be one of prosperity," the consortium of tech companies wrote in an open letter on July 24. "With the right choices, open weight AI can expand opportunity, strengthen competition, extend American technological leadership, mitigate risk, and ensure that the benefits of this extraordinary technology are shared broadly across our economy."
As for distillation, they call it "a widely used technique for model improvement, evaluation, and validation."

Meta on Monday released Muse Glimmer as part of a strategy to release its most powerful AI models to the open-source community. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company would open the weights for its latest AI model, Muse Spark 1.2. Weights refer to the calculations and rules that determine how the AI works and behaves.
A day later, Nvidia debuted Nemotron 3.5 Lightning. The model stems from the company's Nemotron 3 family of models released in December. The chipmaker said its models are "truly open source," because the company publishes the related "training datasets, techniques, and model weights" for developers to inspect.
Both companies still have to prove there's an audience for their offerings in a market featuring popular models from Chinese AI labs like Moonshot AI and DeepSeek, as well as Alibaba's Qwen.
Box CEO Aaron Levie, one of the signatories of last month's letter, is optimistic. He said Zuckerberg's plan for Muse Spark 1.2 is a "very big deal" because it's a powerful model that rivals top foundation models from Anthropic and OpenAI. The models this week from Meta and Nvidia are smaller and intended to run on laptops for tasks like powering on-device digital agents.
"There's a very firm flag in the ground that America will have near-frontier open-source models," Levie said.
Meta has tried this route in the past with Llama. That was Zuckerberg's initial entry into the foundation AI market, but the release of Llama 4 in April 2025 left developers unimpressed. Meta followed by spending billions of dollars to overhaul its AI unit, installing Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang as the division's leader.
Recently, Wang's group has been rolling out proprietary models under the Muse branding to try and develop new revenue streams.
'Tremendous amount of potential'Levie said that companies put off by using Chinese open-weight AI models would be more inclined to experiment with Meta's upcoming variant.
"You probably wouldn't be able to put a non-domestic open-source model in a major government agency, as an example, and you wouldn't be able to use it at very large banks most likely," Levie said. "If you think about the kind of use cases that now Muse can be used in, it actually opens up a tremendous amount of potential."
Still, Meta in particular faces some headwinds as it pursues yet another open-source strategy. Umesh Sachdev, CEO of business AI startup Uniphore, said Meta burned bridges with third-party developers when it shifted from open weight to proprietary AI models.
"I think it's going to take more than a 3,500 worded article from Zuck to convince developers," Sachdev said regarding Zuckerberg's accompanying manifesto this week. "The emotion of my developers at Uniphore, they almost feel betrayed."
But Sachdev said he's rooting for domestic companies to succeed, "because more competition will drive down token cost, and will drive up innovation, and it's always good for consumers."
It's a sentiment shared by Forrester analyst Charlie Dai. He called Meta's latest move "strategically important because it restores a major U.S. frontier AI vendor to the open ecosystem."
"Developers and enterprises will likely welcome Meta's shift back toward open weights because it improves transparency, customization, deployment flexibility, and data sovereignty," Dai said. Now, the company must "prove it can cultivate a durable ecosystem beyond releasing competitive models," he said.
WATCH: Meta's new AI model is a "positive development for the ecosystem."
Polymarket dává NVIDIA jen 9% šanci, že na konci měsíce zavře nad 260 USD, proti 50 % před měsícem. Akcie jsou před výsledky za 2. čtvrtletí, které přijdou později v srpnu.

NVIDIA uvedla, že SpaceX chce do konce roku 2027 zvýšit kapacitu datových center na 10 gigawattů a pracovat výhradně s NVIDIA. To může podpořit růst, ale zároveň zvyšuje riziko koncentrace.

At $218.10, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) trades in a range where risk and reward are closely balanced. The chip giant sits at the intersection of the largest capital cycle in tech history and a growing debate over whether that movement is starting to look like a bubble. The same buildout powering NVIDIA’s growth is also feeding the case against it.
NVIDIA designs the accelerated computing platform that powers essentially every frontier AI model in production. The Data Center segment now represents 92% of total revenue, and the customer list reads like a who’s who of hyperscale AI: Meta, OpenAI, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Oracle, Anthropic, and xAI. The stock has climbed to a $5.42 trillion market cap on four consecutive earnings beats and margins near record highs.
Why the Musk Moonshot Could Push NVDA Toward $500 On SpaceX’s first earnings call, Elon Musk told investors he wants to scale data center capacity from roughly 1.4 gigawatts today to 10 gigawatts by year-end 2027. Research firm SemiAnalysis estimates the buildout at $50 billion per gigawatt annually, or $300 billion to $500 billion in 2027 capital spending alone, and considers the target achievable. Here’s the rub: Musk said SpaceX would work exclusively with NVIDIA, a decision SemiAnalysis ties to expected vendor-financing support.
That thesis is reinforced by the recent $500 billion financing partnership NVIDIA announced with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to underwrite AI factory buildouts. Layer even $150 billion to $200 billion in incremental SpaceX orders onto NVIDIA’s accelerating trajectory, including Q2 guidance of $91 billion, up roughly 34% year over year, and the path to a $500 share price becomes a math problem.
Why the Same Moonshot Could Crack the Stock The problem is scale. A single customer proposing capex on par with AWS and Google combined, at a company far less profitable than either, is exactly the kind of concentration risk bears have salivated over. NVIDIA’s $119 billion pipeline in supply commitments already assumes the AI capex party continues. If SpaceX funding tightens or hyperscalers slow orders to digest capacity, the demand cliff is real.
Valuation leaves no room for error. Shares trade at roughly 34x trailing earnings and 26x forward, with net insider selling across 27 recent transactions. Bears also point to zero China Data Center compute in the Q2 guide and the reality that AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) is courting the same hyperscalers with its MI450 roadmap.
Why Patience Is Winning the Argument Today The fundamentals are extraordinary. Nvidia’s revenue grew 85.2% YoY last quarter to $81.61 billion, gross margin sits at 75.0%, and free cash flow hit $48.55 billion in a single quarter. Yet the stock has been range-bound, up just 3.12% over the past month even as guidance accelerated.
Investors want confirmation, not projection. They want to see the OpenAI 10GW, Meta multi-generation, and SpaceX gigawatt commitments convert to booked orders on schedule. Until then, buyers and sellers are canceling each other out.
What the Numbers Actually Say NVIDIA currently trades at $217.43. The Wall Street consensus target is $302.83, implying roughly 37.6% upside. Coverage is heavily skewed bullish, with 10 Strong Buy, 48 Buy, 2 Hold, and 1 Sell ratings.
Year to date, NVDA is up 16.6%, edging the S&P 500’s 13.36% gain but trailing AMD’s 121.4% surge as the market prices in a genuine second source. Polymarket traders assign a 51.5% probability that shares close August above $220 and just 9.5% above $250.
The Verdict on NVIDIA at $217.43 At $217.43, the risk/reward on NVIDIA looks balanced.
The setup cuts both ways. If SpaceX directs even a fraction of its projected $300 billion to $500 billion in 2027 capital spending toward NVIDIA, with support from the Apollo and BlackRock financing platform, revenue estimates get rewritten higher and a $500 share price becomes a serious 12- to 18-month conversation. If Musk’s gigawatt math slips, funding stalls, or hyperscalers pause to digest capacity, the same $119 billion in supply-related commitments that looks visionary today starts looking like demand risk.
The right posture is patience with clear triggers. Bullish confirmation would require firm procurement commitments for the SpaceX buildout and continued NVIDIA Data Center growth above 60% into fiscal 2028. Bearish confirmation would call for a hyperscaler capital-spending cut, a material Blackwell delay, or evidence that the $500 billion financing platform is struggling to place capital. Watch NVIDIA’s quarterly Data Center growth, gross margin, and the pace at which announced megadeals convert into bookings.
When a single customer’s buildout can move a $5 trillion stock by $80 in either direction, waiting for the picture to develop is the prudent call.

NVIDIA uvádí CPU Vera pro agentní AI, který má být až 1,8× rychlejší než x86 procesory a míří na serverový trh. Platformu plánují přijmout Anthropic, OpenAI i SpaceX.
Key Takeaways NVIDIA's Vera CPU is up to 1.8 times faster than x86 processors on workloads and targets agentic AI.Vera integrates NVIDIA CPUs, GPUs, networking and software to support complete AI systems for customers.Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX plan to adopt Vera, while major hardware vendors prepare Vera-based systems. NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA - Free Report) is taking a bigger step into the CPU (Central Processing Unit) market with its Vera processor, designed specifically for agentic artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. The move could give NVIDIA another growth engine while increasing pressure on established server CPU leaders Intel Corporation (INTC - Free Report) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD - Free Report) .
NVIDIA’s Vera CPU is up to 1.8 times faster than x86 processors on workloads. The Vera CPU is designed to work closely with NVIDIA GPUs (graphics processing units), networking and software, allowing customers to build complete AI systems rather than relying on separate CPU and accelerator platforms. This integrated approach could be particularly attractive as AI agents require more computing power for reasoning, planning and data processing.
Vera CPU is also gaining support from major technology companies. Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX are among the AI organizations planning to adopt the platform, while Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, Lenovo and Super Micro Computers are preparing Vera-based systems.
NVIDIA’s AI ecosystem gives Vera CPU an additional advantage and could help it gain meaningful server CPU share. The traction of Vera CPU will further boost NVIDIA’s data center end-market business. The company’s data center revenues reached a record $75.25 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, rising 92% year over year.
Analysts’ projections suggest that the growth momentum in the data center business will continue. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NVIDIA’s data center revenues is pegged at $363.78 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of approximately 88%.
NVIDIA’s Rivals Have Deep CPU Expertise to Defend Their LeadNVIDIA’s Vera CPU enters a market where Advanced Micro Devices and Intel have established customer relationships and large server CPU businesses.
AMD is the more direct growth challenger. Its data center revenues surged 107% year over year to $6.72 billion in the second quarter of 2026, driven by strong demand for EPYC processors and Instinct GPUs. Advanced Micro Devices is also seeing rising demand from AI workloads, including agentic AI, which directly overlaps with Vera’s target market. Its broad CPU-and-GPU portfolio gives customers an alternative to NVIDIA’s integrated platform.
Intel remains a major force in server CPUs through its Xeon portfolio. Its data center and AI business generated $6.26 billion in the second quarter of 2026, up 59% year over year. Intel’s latest Xeon processors are also designed to handle AI workloads, helping the company defend its position as AI increases demand for high-performance CPUs.
NVIDIA has an important advantage because Vera is designed to work closely with its GPUs, networking and software. However, AMD’s rapid growth and Intel’s large installed base mean NVIDIA will need to prove that Vera can deliver clear performance and efficiency benefits before it can seriously disrupt the CPU market.

Nvidia vykázala ve 1. fiskálním čtvrtletí roku 2027 tržby 81,61 mld. USD, z toho 75,25 mld. USD v datových centrech. Apple oznámila tržby 109,4 mld. USD a nejlepší červnové čtvrtletí v historii.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) just delivered earnings that frame the two dominant bets in tech today.
Nvidia posted $81.61B in Q1 FY27 revenue with Data Center at $75.25B. Apple countered with $109.4 billion in Q3 FY26 revenue and its strongest June quarter ever. One sells the shovels. The other sells the finished product.
AI Factories Carry Nvidia. iPhone and Services Carry Apple. Nvidia’s quarter was almost entirely a Data Center story. Compute rose 77% and networking, powered by InfiniBand, NVLink and Spectrum-X, jumped 199%. Jensen Huang told investors “the buildout of AI factories, the largest infrastructure expansion in human history, is accelerating at extraordinary speed.”
Hyperscalers still represent roughly 50% of that segment, with sovereign AI programs and enterprise deployments filling in behind them. Non-GAAP gross margin hit 75%, and free cash flow reached $48.55B.
Apple’s engine looked different. iPhone revenue climbed to $54.252 billion, Services set a June quarter record at $30.7 billion, and paid subscriptions crossed 1.5 billion.
Tim Cook called it “our strongest June quarter ever, with double-digit revenue growth across iPhone, Mac and Services, and in every geographic segment.” A tariff refund added roughly 2 percentage points to gross margin and $0.11 to EPS, which is a one-time gift worth remembering.
Picks and Shovels vs. the Consumer Ecosystem Lens NVIDIA Apple Core Bet AI factories, agentic compute iPhone cycle, Services, on-device Siri AI Growth Rate +85.2% YoY revenue +16.36% YoY revenue Gross Margin ~75% non-GAAP ~50.1% Key Vulnerability China export controls, zero H20 revenue Memory cost inflation, tariff policy Nvidia is scaling Blackwell 300, Vera Rubin and BlueField-4 into every hyperscaler and sovereign AI cluster. Apple is monetizing an installed base above 2.5 billion active devices while rolling out Siri AI to WWDC26 developers.
Cook framed the differentiator as “the unique combination of massive unified memory bandwidth, industry-leading power-efficient performance, and deep on-device intelligence.”
Kevan Parekh flagged a “100-year flood on the memory pricing” that could pressure September quarter margins to 47%-48%. Nvidia has its own supply worry: $119B in purchase commitments tied to TSMC capacity.
The Next Test Is Guidance Nvidia guided Q2 FY27 to $91B in revenue, excluding any China Data Center compute. Prediction markets on Polymarket now imply a 97.2% probability that Data Center clears $80B, but only 19.5% for $90B. That is a narrow beat lane.
Apple guided September quarter growth of 9%-11%, constrained by advanced-node SoC supply that Cook attributed to “a demand forecast issue” rather than a shortage. I want to see whether Siri AI actually pulls subscribers up the iCloud+ stack, and whether Nvidia’s networking growth holds once Blackwell shipments normalize.
Why I Lean Nvidia for Growth, Apple for Ballast If I had to pick one, I would still tilt toward Nvidia for the growth sleeve. A P/E of 34 against +85% revenue growth and 75% margins looks rich, yet the earnings power is compounding faster than the multiple.
Apple, trading at a P/E of 36, fits the defensive investor better. The $62.094 billion in nine-month buybacks and the Services flywheel offer stability that Nvidia cannot match. If memory costs stay elevated into 2027, or China export rules loosen for H20, my ranking could flip fast.

Aug 11 (Reuters) - Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab is developing a new AI model family, Nemotron 4, with the goal of rivaling top open-source models globally, The Information reported on Tuesday, citing people who work on the project.
The chip giant is among the few major U.S. firms to release open-source models, which have drawn more attention this year as AI bills balloon and cheap Chinese models near the capabilities of top systems from leading American labs Anthropic and OpenAI.
The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.
A spate of recently disclosed hacks involving autonomous AI agents has added to the attention, especially because open models do not have curbs on cybersecurity use.
The largest Nemotron 4 model is expected to have at least 1 trillion parameters, according to multiple employees working on the project, The Information reported.
Nvidia has not set a release date for Nemotron 4 and has yet to complete final training, though employees said the model could be ready as early as late fall, according to the report.
The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the report.
Nvidia last month formed a coalition with other companies to develop and share tools for AI safety and cybersecurity. It also signed an open letter with tech heavyweights such as Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab backing open-weight models so that innovation does not drift overseas.
Separately on Tuesday, the chip firm unveiled Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, an addition to its offerings aimed at code review, tool use, security alert monitoring, answering billing questions and other tasks.
It also released NeMo Switchyard, an open-source model-routing library designed to automatically direct AI tasks to the most suitable models.
Late last year, the chip giant unveiled the third generation of its family of open-source models as offerings from Chinese AI labs proliferated.

Nvidia pomáhá Hippocratic AI provozovat více než 25 úloh specifických modelů na GPU H200 a zvyšovat efektivitu díky TensorRT-LLM. Cílem je získat více „inteligence za dolar“.
The next AI winner may not be the company with the biggest model. It could be the company that figures out how to get more useful AI for every dollar it spends. Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) is helping shape that shift by powering more efficient, task-specific AI systems that aim to squeeze more performance out of every GPU cycle.
DigitalOcean Holdings Inc. (NYSE:DOCN) CEO Paddy Srinivasan told Benzinga in an exclusive email interview that AI builders are increasingly mixing different models for different jobs rather than relying exclusively on expensive frontier systems from companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
"We believe in: right model, right cost, for every task," Srinivasan said.
He pointed to healthcare AI company Hippocratic AI as an example, saying AI builders like Hippocratic "get better intelligence per dollar" as they optimize across models.
Hippocratic’s connection to Nvidia makes that strategy particularly interesting. Nvidia says Hippocratic’s Polaris architecture runs more than 25 task-specific AI models on Nvidia H200 GPUs, while its TensorRT-LLM software makes those models faster, smaller and more efficient, lowering costs and allowing more conversations to run on the same hardware.
The AI Model Doesn’t Have to Be the Most ExpensiveSrinivasan said frontier models are typically needed for only about 25% of the job, mainly the hardest reasoning or specialized use cases. The remaining 75% can often be handled by open-weight models, which can offer lower-cost alternatives for less demanding tasks.

That creates a different optimization problem for AI companies.
Instead of asking which model is the smartest, they can ask which model is smart enough for a particular task at the right price.
"Most AI Native companies today are already multi-model," Srinivasan said. "They all have a mixture of models and route specific prompts to the right model."
DigitalOcean’s Inference Engine is designed to route workloads based on factors including performance, latency, cost and customer preference.
Hippocratic Shows Why Nvidia’s Hardware MattersHippocratic is a useful example because its healthcare AI requires real-time responses while handling safety-sensitive conversations.
The company’s Polaris system runs on Nvidia H200 GPUs and uses more than a trillion parameters across its model constellation. The goal isn’t simply to use the most powerful hardware or model available. It is to make the entire system more efficient so Hippocratic can handle more interactions without proportionally increasing its computing costs.
That is the strategy behind Srinivasan’s "intelligence per dollar" argument.
‘Intelligence Per Dollar’ Could Become the New AI MetricNvidia itself has increasingly emphasized the economics of AI, often focusing on concepts like performance per dollar and the cost efficiency of AI compute to describe the value businesses can get from their computing investments.
That could change how investors view the AI race.
The industry’s first phase was dominated by model size, training costs and the race to build increasingly powerful systems. As AI moves into everyday business applications, however, the economics of actually running those models become harder to ignore.
If companies can use a mix of models and optimize the infrastructure underneath them, the winners may not necessarily be the companies with the biggest AI models.
They could be the companies that figure out how to get the most useful intelligence for every dollar of compute.

Nvidia uvedla Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, svůj první open-source AI model od doby, kdy se Jensen Huang připojil k většině svých technologických kolegů a vyzval vládu USA k podpoře otevřených modelů. Firma říká, že je „lightweight“, zdarma ke stažení, úpravám i použití a běží na jediném GPU v PC.
In late July, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang posted on X for the first time to defend open-source models in artificial intelligence, inserting himself into a debate that was raging across the industry.
Less than three weeks later, Nvidia is releasing Nemotron 3.5 Lightning, which the company says is "lightweight" and can run on a single graphics processing unit on a PC. It's Nvidia's first open-source model since Huang joined most of his tech peers in urging the U.S. government to support open models while "avoiding premature restrictions" that could push innovation overseas.
The new Nemotron offering is free for companies to download, use and modify without getting permission or paying Nvidia.
For Nvidia, open-source AI is a boon for chip sales, because the models still need to run on GPUs, and the lower prices can serve to boost usage over proprietary models from the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic.
"Free AI should be great for hardware," Huang told Axios in an interview last month. "Free AI should be great for chips."
Huang jumped headfirst into a debate that had sprung up in Washington following the announcement of Kimi K3, a model developed by China's Moonshot AI that narrowed the gap with the most powerful American models. Politicians worried that Kimi K3 was potentially troublesome for national security, and that it represented intellectual property theft via a technique called distillation, which involves the use of answers from an advanced AI model's service to train a lighter model.

Policymakers questioned whether Chinese model developers could be subject to sanctions or other restrictions, similar to the rules placed on chip sales.
Huang posted an open letter, which argued that open-weight models allow companies greater control over their future, spur competition and bring down pricing.
"Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty," Huang wrote in his debut X post.
Days later, Nvidia launched an AI safety consortium with companies including Microsoft that would focus on using open models and open-source software for cybersecurity.
Open-source AI is one of the hottest topics in Silicon Valley. On Monday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg published a lengthy manifesto arguing for open-source AI, as his company released a coding model called Muse Spark.
"Our goal should be for American open source models to be the best globally," Zuckerberg wrote.
Nvidia said companies including CrowdStrike, CodeRabbit and Harvey have tested and customized its latest model. The chipmaker said it was developed particularly for agents, or AI programs that can run autonomously in the background.
Nemotron 3.5 Lightning will also be available on HuggingFace and Nvidia's website. Additionally, Nvidia released software called NeMo Switchyard that can determine the cheapest and most appropriate AI model for any given task.
Nvidia representatives said Monday that the company had used distillation to give Nemotron 3.5 Lightning similar capabilities to its larger Nemotron models.

Positive Sentiment: NVIDIA is reportedly partnering with Apollo Global Management, Blackstone, BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR on an AI infrastructure financing effort targeting up to $500 billion. The initiative could accelerate data-center construction and support future demand for NVIDIA’s GPUs. Nvidia teams up with Wall Street asset managers on $500 billion AI infrastructure push Positive Sentiment: Bank of America maintained a Buy rating and $350 price target, projecting second-quarter revenue of $94 billion to $95 billion—potentially $3 billion to $4 billion above NVIDIA’s guidance—and forecasting a “multi-quarter upgrade cycle.” BofA: Nvidia’s next earnings report could kick off a multi-quarter upgrade cycle Positive Sentiment: Analysts remain constructive ahead of the August 26 earnings report, citing expected $91 billion of quarterly revenue, gross margins near 75%, strong Data Center demand and continued adoption of Blackwell systems. Nvidia: Buy Before Q2 Shows The AI Factory Trade Is Still Early Neutral Sentiment: NVIDIA is reportedly considering investing as much as $3 billion in Lancium, an AI data-center power infrastructure company. The investment could strengthen NVIDIA’s ecosystem position, but it also adds to questions about how much capital the chipmaker should devote to investments instead of share buybacks. Nvidia Stock Slips as Its AI Investments Draw Fresh Scrutiny Negative Sentiment: Investors are increasingly focused on NVIDIA’s expanding role in financing the AI buildout. Mark Cuban compared the strategy with dot-com-era companies that funded customers, raising concerns that financing could amplify concentration and credit risks if AI spending fails to generate adequate returns. Mark Cuban warned Nvidia’s AI financing could crumble the market Negative Sentiment: Reports that Microsoft is reconsidering its reliance on NVIDIA in favor of internally developed AI silicon highlight a potential long-term customer-concentration and pricing risk, even though near-term demand remains robust.

AMD oznámila dohodu o koupi společnosti Taalas, aby posílila AI inference a spojila její technologii s GPU Instinct. Firma chce zlepšit výkon i efektivitu na rychle rostoucím trhu.
Key Takeaways AMD will integrate Taalas' inference technology with Instinct GPUs to improve AI performance and efficiency.Taalas complements AMD's full-stack AI portfolio as demand for its Helios systems rises.NVIDIA and Alphabet pose major AI inference challenges with broad platforms, software ecosystems and scale. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD - Free Report) announced on Thursday (Aug. 6) that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Taalas, a Toronto-based developer of specialized AI inference silicon, as the company looks to strengthen its position in the rapidly expanding AI inference market. Taalas’ technology is designed to optimize inference dataflows and reduce the compute and memory bottlenecks associated with more general-purpose architectures. AMD plans to incorporate the technology into its accelerator roadmap and develop system-level solutions that combine Taalas’ capabilities with AMD Instinct GPUs.
The acquisition appears strategically well aligned with AMD’s growing emphasis on inference, an area that is becoming increasingly important as AI workloads transition from model training toward large-scale production deployment. Taalas has developed an approach that effectively builds specialized hardware around AI models, potentially allowing workloads to run with higher efficiency than on general-purpose architectures. AMD believes the combination can improve inference performance and efficiency while giving Taalas access to AMD’s engineering resources, scale and global customer reach.
Taalas’ technology complements AMD’s broader full-stack AI portfolio, which includes Helios rack-scale systems, EPYC CPUs, Instinct accelerators, Pensando networking and ROCm software. AMD said Helios can deliver up to 15% higher throughput at the same rack power and as much as 30% more tokens per dollar than competing solutions across a broad range of inference workloads. Customer demand is also running ahead of AMD’s initial expectations. The integration of Taalas’ specialized inference technology could therefore give AMD another architectural lever to improve performance, power efficiency and token economics instead of relying solely on successive GPU improvements.
The Taalas deal strengthens AMD compute power with specialized inference silicon while retaining the ability to combine it with Instinct GPUs, EPYC processors and ROCm. AMD plans to introduce a new rack-scale AI platform every year, with successive generations targeting significant improvements in performance, efficiency and total cost of ownership. The company expects its 2027 platform, incorporating MI500-series GPUs, Verano CPUs and next-generation networking, to produce the largest generational performance improvement in Instinct history. The company remains on track to increase inference performance by more than 2,000 times over four years.
Tough Competition Hurts AMD’s ProspectsAMD’s prospects suffer from stiff competition. NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) and Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) are major competitors in the AI inference space. NVIDIA competes directly with AMD as a merchant supplier of AI infrastructure, while Alphabet is increasingly a vertically integrated rival through its internally developed TPUs, Google Cloud infrastructure and Gemini ecosystem.
NVIDIA’s Blackwell is already deployed across every major hyperscaler, cloud provider and major model maker, while frontier AI companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Perplexity and Cursor, are building on its platform. This broad installed base creates a significant hurdle for AMD as it attempts to expand adoption of Instinct accelerators and ROCm. NVIDIA believes that its CUDA ecosystem, installed base and continually improving software stack allow customers to generate returns from GPUs beyond their depreciable lives, strengthening customer retention and raising switching costs.
Alphabet designs its own TPUs, deploys them across its enormous internal AI workloads, uses them to power Gemini, and offers the same infrastructure externally through Google Cloud. The company’s Google Cloud now offers TPU 8t and 8i alongside NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin, with Google highlighting the price-performance of its accelerators. Alphabet’s software stack supports JAX, PyTorch, vLLM and SGLang across GPUs and TPUs, while its Virgo network is designed to connect as many as one million accelerators across multiple data-center sites.

BofA čeká, že Nvidia po výsledcích za 2. čtvrtletí zvýší výhled na 107 miliard až 108 miliard USD tržeb, nad odhadem Wall Street kolem 104 miliard USD. Banka to vidí jako začátek vícečtvrtletního cyklu zvyšování odhadů.
Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, XETRA:NVD) is set to report second-quarter earnings after the market closes on August 26 and Bank of America thinks the chipmaker is about to do what it usually does: beat expectations and raise its outlook, only this time with an extra catalyst behind it.
In a note maintaining its Buy rating and $350 price objective on the stock, BofA analysts said they expect Nvidia to post revenue of $94 billion to $95 billion, a $3 billion to $4 billion beat above the company's own $91 billion guidance.
More notable, though, is what they expect for guidance going forward: a raise to $107 billion to $108 billion, well above the roughly $104 billion that Wall Street analysts are currently modeling.
The reason for that optimism comes down to timing. Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin platform is starting to ship, along with new Vera CPU ramps, and BofA points to strong cloud capital spending trends as further support. The analysts also flagged that spot prices for renting GPU capacity have hit all-time highs, which they say could ease lingering concerns about return on investment and speed up how quickly customers move to the new generation of chips.
Rising memory prices are a worry across chipmakers this year, but BofA doesn't see it hitting Nvidia hard. The firm expects gross margin to settle around 73% to 74% long-term, down only modestly from about 75% today.
On upcoming Vera Rubin racks, the margin hit from memory is just 60 basis points versus the current Blackwell Ultra generation. New "pod-level" systems could see a steeper 500-basis-point hit, but BofA expects those to stay a small part of the mix. Long-term supply deals, including Nvidia's ties to SK Hynix, should also help cushion the pressure.
Critics argue Nvidia's direct stakes in customers like OpenAI ($30 billion) and Anthropic ($10 billion) artificially inflate demand. BofA counters that the roughly $70 billion invested so far is just 15% of the $470 billion in free cash flow it expects Nvidia to generate in 2026 and 2027, leaving room to keep returning 50% of free cash flow to shareholders. A separate $250 billion OpenAI/SB Energy backstop isn't upfront money either, BofA notes, but a contingent guarantee that only triggers on default, with payments back-end loaded to 2028 or later.
Five things to watch beyond the headline numbers BofA laid out what it considers the real debates investors should be paying attention to this quarter, beyond just whether Nvidia beats and raises:
The Vera Rubin rollout - any updates on supply and whether Nvidia's forecast of more than $1 trillion in revenue from calendar years 2025 through 2027 changes. OpenAI's financing arrangement - specifically, more clarity on the vendor financing and backstop deal, and when Nvidia might be able to redirect that cash toward stock buybacks instead. Whether margins hold up as memory costs keep rising. Memory now makes up 40% to 50% of the cost to build Nvidia's systems, compared with 15% to 20% or so historically. How hyperscalers are growing compared to what BofA calls ACIE (its term for AI cloud infrastructure providers outside the traditional hyperscalers). The open-versus-closed AI model debate and what it means for the size of Nvidia's addressable market.

Mark Cuban varuje, že Nvidia v AI boomu funguje jako „IPO stroj“ a financuje řadu firem v tomto sektoru. Riziko je největší u specializovaných cloudových operátorů závislých na externím kapitálu.
Mark Cuban recently raised concerns about how the artificial intelligence (AI) boom is being financed. In a July 28 post on X, he described Nvidia (NVDA +2.27%) as the sector's IPO, "funding everyone and anyone."
Cuban was not suggesting that Nvidia literally takes companies public. He was comparing Nvidia's role with the dot-com boom, when IPOs gave young internet companies money to expand. Nvidia is now investing in AI model developers and cloud operators, as well as other companies supporting the wider AI market.

Nvidia's financing role is becoming significant Nvidia exited the first quarter of fiscal 2027 (ending April 26, 2026) with $42.3 billion of private investments and another $27 billion of contingent investment commitments. Nvidia's wider investment portfolio includes model developers OpenAI and Anthropic, cloud operators CoreWeave (CRWV +6.26%) and Nebius Group (NBIS -1.01%), and technology suppliers such as Intel, Synopsys, Nokia, and Coherent.

Some of these investment deals could benefit Nvidia twice. Nvidia's investment may rise in value, while the company receiving the money may buy more Nvidia technology. But that link is not automatic. Several investments are also supporting suppliers and technology partners, not just customers. Therefore, its investment portfolio alone does not show that Nvidia is creating its own sales.
Impact on AI stocks Cuban's warning is not a blanket argument against AI stocks. Large cloud providers and profitable AI chip and networking players can fund much of their spending from existing operations. A slowdown in data center construction could reduce their free cash flow, orders, or valuations, but it would not immediately threaten their ability to operate.
The warning matters most for companies that need regular outside funding to keep expanding. Specialized cloud operators face greater risk.

CoreWeave generated nearly $2.1 billion in revenue but spent $6.8 billion on capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2026 (ending March 31, 2026). Nebius shows a similar gap, with $399 million in revenue and nearly $2.5 billion in capital expenditures in the first quarter.

Demand is not necessarily the problem. CoreWeave exited the first quarter with a $99.4 billion revenue backlog, while Nebius had nearly $4.8 billion of deferred revenue. The challenge is funding the GPUs and data centers needed to deliver that future revenue before much of the cash comes in.
Iren (IREN +8.70%) is also a close Nvidia partner, but Nvidia has not yet made the full agreed-upon $2.1 billion investment. Instead, Nvidia has the right to purchase up to 30 million Iren shares at $70 each, subject to certain conditions.

Iren faces a similar timing issue at an earlier stage. The company generated $144.8 million of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 (ending March 31, 2026). But the company spent about $1.36 billion on computer hardware, property, and equipment.
Hence, Nvidia's stake in these companies is only part of the story. The bigger issue is whether they can eventually fund expansion with cash from their own businesses. Companies that still depend on external financing could face slower growth if funding becomes harder to obtain.
SummaryNvidia Corporation's stock is up roughly 20% over the last 12 months, while revenue grew 85% and non-GAAP EPS grew 140%, a disconnect that leaves the shares mispriced.Q1 FY27 delivered $81.6B in revenue, up 85%, with a record $48.6B in free cash flow and gross margin holding at 75%.The new reporting split shows $37B coming from AI clouds, industrial and enterprise customers, proving Nvidia no longer depends solely on Big Tech budgets.Big Tech CapEx is guided to $725B in 2026, up 77% year over year, and Nvidia should capture 35% to 40% of that spending.At 31.6x blended P/E and 22x forward earnings against 88% expected FY27 EPS growth, I remain bullish, though circular financing deals are a risk worth watching.

Aug 7 (Reuters) - Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab will invest up to $3 billion in power infrastructure developer Lancium, the company behind the Stargate data center campus in Texas, the Information reported on Friday.
The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.
The chipmaker will invest an initial $2 billion for a stake of roughly 20% in Lancium, which is backed by Blackstone (BX.N), opens new tab, according to the report.
Nvidia could invest an additional $1 billion if the company meets certain thresholds, including grid hookups, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Under the deal, Lancium and its portfolio of land and power connections have an enterprise value of around $10 billion, according to the Information.
The capital is expected to help Lancium expand its operations as it explores a potential initial public offering in 2027, the report said.
Nvidia and Lancium did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
Stargate is a joint venture between SoftBank, OpenAI and Oracle to build data centers. The project was announced in January by U.S. President Donald Trump, who said that the companies would invest up to $500 billion to fund infrastructure for artificial intelligence.
Lancium owns the 1,000-acre Lancium Clean Campus in Abilene, Texas, which serves as the first operational site of the Stargate initiative.

Akcie Nvidia v pátek vzrostly asi o 2,2 % poté, co SpaceX uvedla, že svou AI platformu postaví výhradně na jejím hardwaru. Elon Musk zároveň řekl, že SpaceX příští rok zajistí významný podíl z dodávek GPU od společnosti Nvidia.
Nvidia NVDA , the AI chip giant powering much of the world's data-center boom, gained about 2.2% in Friday's regular session after investors cheered SpaceX's SPCX decision to build its AI platform exclusively around Nvidia hardware. Elon Musk said SpaceX expects to secure a significant share of Nvidia's GPU supply next year, immediately putting the spotlight on what could become one of Nvidia's largest AI infrastructure customers. While neither company disclosed the value or size of the deal, the message was clear: Nvidia remains the chipmaker everyone wants when building AI at scale.
The numbers show why this matters. SpaceX poured roughly $15.83 billion into AI infrastructure last quarter while generating $2.56 billion in AI revenue and expanding installed computing capacity to around 1.4 gigawatts, with even more capacity on the way. Not every dollar of that spending will land in Nvidia's pocket because AI campuses also require networking gear, power systems, cooling equipment and construction. Still, winning exclusive GPU supplier status gives Nvidia a front-row seat as one of the industry's most aggressive AI builders continues spending.
The GF Score chart only strengthens the bull case. Nvidia posts an outstanding GF Score of 95 out of 100, backed by elite profitability, explosive growth and rock-solid financial strength, all signs of a business still firing on nearly every cylinder. The only soft spot is GF Value, which suggests investors are already paying a hefty premium for that quality. That means execution matters more than ever. If SpaceX's AI expansion turns into a steady stream of GPU orders instead of a one-off deployment, Nvidia could reinforce its grip on the AI infrastructure race and give investors another reason to stay bullish despite the stock's premium valuation.
Key Takeaways NVIDIA shares gained 11.2% in a month, outperforming the broader technology sector and chip peers.NVIDIA's fiscal Q1 revenues surged 85% to $81.62 billion, while non-GAAP EPS jumped 140% to $1.87.NVDA trades at 20.17 times forward earnings, below the technology sector average of 21.50 NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA - Free Report) shares have gained 11.2% over the past month, comfortably beating the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector, which advanced only 1.6%.
The stock has also outperformed major semiconductor peers such as Intel Corporation (INTC - Free Report) , Marvell Technology, Inc. (MRVL - Free Report) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD - Free Report) , all of which posted declines during the same period. Over the past month, shares of Intel, Marvell Technology and Advanced Micro Devices have plunged 9.4%, 8.9% and 5.4%, respectively.
The recent rally reflects growing investor confidence in NVIDIA’s leadership in artificial intelligence (AI) despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and trade-related uncertainty. This strength is backed by solid business fundamentals rather than market hype. With AI spending continuing to accelerate worldwide, NVIDIA still appears well-positioned for long-term growth.

NVDA’s Financial Results Reinforce the Investment CaseNVIDIA continues to deliver outstanding financial results. In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, revenues surged 85% year over year to $81.62 billion, while non-GAAP earnings per share jumped 140% to $1.87. These numbers demonstrate that demand for NVIDIA's AI products remains exceptionally strong.
Management expects this momentum to continue. For the second quarter of fiscal 2027, NVIDIA projects revenues of approximately $91 billion, representing nearly 95% year-over-year growth. The company also expects a non-GAAP gross margin of around 75%, up from 72.7% a year ago, highlighting its strong pricing power and operating efficiency.
Wall Street also remains optimistic. The Zacks Consensus Estimates point to healthy revenue and earnings growth in both fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2028, suggesting that AI infrastructure spending is still in its early stages.

NVIDIA's cash generation further strengthens the investment story. During the first quarter, the company generated $50.3 billion in operating cash flow and $48.6 billion in free cash flow. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities rose to $80.6 billion, up from $62.6 billion in the previous quarter.
Such a massive cash reserve gives NVIDIA tremendous flexibility to expand manufacturing, invest in next-generation AI technologies and reward shareholders. During the quarter, the company repurchased $19.3 billion worth of shares while paying $243 million in dividends.
NVIDIA’s AI Leadership Continues to Drive GrowthThe company remains the clear leader in AI infrastructure. Cloud providers, enterprises and governments continue to invest billions of dollars in building AI data centers, and NVIDIA's GPUs remain the preferred choice for training and running advanced AI models.
The company's newest Blackwell and Vera Rubin AI platforms are seeing strong customer adoption due to their superior performance and energy efficiency. NVIDIA is also strengthening its position beyond GPUs through networking products like InfiniBand, Spectrum-X Ethernet and NVLink, allowing it to capture a larger portion of AI infrastructure spending.
The company's latest numbers highlight this leadership. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, the data center business generated $75.25 billion in revenues, accounting for roughly 92% of total sales. Revenues from the segment climbed 92% year over year and 21% sequentially, driven by rapid deployment of Blackwell 300 systems and growing networking demand.
Another key advantage is NVIDIA's software ecosystem. CUDA, along with its expanding AI software portfolio, creates high switching costs for customers, making it difficult for competitors to take market share. This competitive advantage extends well beyond hardware and should continue supporting long-term growth.
As AI adoption expands from model training to large-scale inference and enterprise deployment, NVIDIA is positioned to benefit across every major phase of the AI investment cycle.
NVDA’s Valuation Still Looks ReasonableDespite its recent rally, NVIDIA's valuation remains attractive relative to its growth potential.
The stock currently trades at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 20.13, below the Zacks Computer and Technology sector average of 21.50.
NVIDIA Forward 12-Month P/E Ratio

It also trades at a much lower valuation than several semiconductor peers. Intel carries a forward P/E of 57.33, Advanced Micro Devices trades at 45.19, while Marvell Technology is valued at 41.08.

« PREVIOUS HEADLINEEntropy Technologies LP Buys New Shares in NVIDIA Corporation $NVDA
NEXT HEADLINE »Roblox Corporation $RBLX Shares Sold by Empowered Funds LLC
Nvidia potichu buduje nový tým pro bezpečnost a zabezpečení AI, který bude před nasazením vyhodnocovat AI agenty a opravovat zranitelnosti softwaru. Tahle sázka zapadá do jejího důrazu na open-weight modely a AI agenty.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Bloomberg/Getty Images Nvidia is quietly assembling a new AI safety and security engineering team, according to a cluster of job listings posted late last month.
The company is hiring a distinguished engineer to serve as a "founding technical leader" for the "newly assembled team," as well as a security research engineer, an evaluation engineer, and a senior manager. The team will evaluate AI agents before they're deployed and build AI-powered tools to patch software vulnerabilities, according to the job listings.
The hiring suggests Nvidia is making AI safety a bigger priority as it bets on a future shaped by open-weight models and AI agents. Open-weight models make their trained "weights" — which determine how they behave — publicly available, even if their training data and source code stay private.
The team is described in one listing as "rooted in the firm belief that open-weight models, transparency, and broad scientific scrutiny are foundational to American AI leadership and cybersecurity defense."
Nvidia did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
Nvidia's case for open modelsIn recent months, Nvidia has steadily elevated its public messaging around open-weight AI models, which stand in contrast to the closed systems built by companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.
In his first post on X last month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang shared a letter urging US policymakers to support open models, saying that they "strengthen safety and cybersecurity."
Days later, Nvidia announced it had become a founding member of the Open Secure AI Alliance — a group building open-source security tools for AI. The job listings for the chipmaker's AI safety team appeared prior to this announcement and describe many of the same responsibilities.
The alliance includes 120 companies, such as Microsoft, Palantir, SpaceX, and Hugging Face, which recently relied on an open model to respond to a high-profile security incident.
While critics say open models are more accessible to bad actors, proponents say they bolster innovation through competition and improve security through transparency and collective action.
AI safety sellsThe push toward open models and AI security isn't just philosophical; it reflects key business incentives for Nvidia.
Open models put AI into the hands of far more customers, in turn creating more demand for Nvidia's AI chips needed to power it.
Safety is also critical as Nvidia pushes for broader business adoption of AI, and companies weigh how best to deploy it.
As AI shifts from chatbots to agents that can access sensitive company data and take real-world actions, trust could become the linchpin for widespread adoption.

Nvidia za 12 měsíců zvýšila výnosy o 71 % na 253 miliard USD a zisk více než zdvojnásobila. Akcie se přesto obchodují asi za 21násobek forwardového zisku na akcii.
Over the past 12 months, Nvidia (NVDA +3.44%) grew revenue 71% to $253 billion and more than doubled its net income, to about $160 billion. The stock, meanwhile, trades at about 21 times forward earnings (the profits the company is expected to produce over the next year) as of this writing.
That's the kind of price tag the market usually puts on a mature business with ordinary prospects -- not on the largest company in the stock market, worth about $5.1 trillion, while its revenue climbs 71% a year. A price like this says the market expects the extraordinary part of Nvidia's growth to end, and to end fairly soon.
I think that bet overshoots. Here's a closer look at why.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
Growth is moving the wrong way for the skeptics In the quarter Nvidia reported a year ago, revenue grew 56% year over year. In the fiscal first quarter of 2027 (the period ended April 26), revenue grew 85% year over year to $81.6 billion. For perspective, that's more revenue in one quarter than Nvidia generated in its entire fiscal 2024. And management's guidance calls for revenue of about $91 billion in the fiscal second quarter, nearly double the $46.7 billion the company generated in the same period a year earlier.
Guidance is a forecast, not a result, and forecasts can miss. But it's management's most concrete signal about demand, and it points up.
In other words, growth isn't decelerating toward that mature-company price tag. It has been accelerating away from it.
The engine of all this is the data center business, which supplies the chips and networking gear behind artificial intelligence (AI) computing. Its revenue rose 92% year over year to $75.2 billion in the fiscal first quarter.
Profitability kept pace, too. Nvidia's gross margin came in near 75%, and non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share rose 140% year over year to $1.87.
Alongside the results, Nvidia raised its quarterly dividend from a penny per share to $0.25 and announced an $80 billion buyback authorization. That's a small dividend, but it says a lot about how much cash the business now generates.
"The buildout of AI factories -- the largest infrastructure expansion in human history -- is accelerating at extraordinary speed," CEO Jensen Huang said in the company's fiscal first-quarter earnings release.
Management's tone could prove too optimistic, of course. But the numbers, so far, keep agreeing with it.

Priced as if the surge is already over Now look at the price. Shares trade around $210 as of this writing, below the $236.54 they reached within the past year, even as the results kept strengthening. At about 21 times forward earnings, the market expects Nvidia to earn about $10 per share over the next year -- up more than 50% from the $6.53 it earned over the trailing 12 months. So even the skeptical price concedes next year.
The skepticism is aimed at everything after that. When the market pays 21 times forward earnings for an average large company, it's paying for modest, dependable growth. Applied to Nvidia, the same price treats the years beyond the next one as ordinary, as if growth flattens out quickly once the current wave of AI spending passes.
Maybe it does. Semiconductors have always been cyclical, and some of Nvidia's biggest customers are designing chips of their own. If AI spending pauses, a stock valued on next year's earnings could still get hit hard.
Investors should take that possibility seriously. After all, it's the strongest argument for caution here, and it's probably the reason the shares don't command a premium price despite premium growth.
But there's a difference between growth slowing and growth stopping, and today's valuation sits closer to the second. Nvidia's own guidance implies the quarter it reports next nearly doubled year over year. And if growth a few years out lands anywhere near respectable (say, 20% or 30% instead of zero), then today's buyer paid an ordinary price for what could be an extraordinary stretch of compounding.
I think the market has the direction right and the timing wrong. Growth this fast will cool eventually -- it always does. But a price built for a company whose growth is cooling now doesn't match the evidence, which keeps pointing the other way. I like the stock here. I'd just keep the position sized for the swings that come with a cyclical business.
Sam Altman řekl, že AI vstoupila do „singularity“, což může dál zvýšit poptávku po hardwaru a softwarových produktech Nvidia a cloudových a softwarových produktech Microsoftu. Nvidia už těží z růstu datových center, zatímco Microsoft zrychluje růst Azure a Copilotu.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says artificial intelligence has entered the "singularity," a stage where AI progress could accelerate rapidly.
While that description can prove premature, increasingly capable models could still boost demand for Nvidia's (NVDA +3.44%) AI-optimized hardware and software offerings and Microsoft's (MSFT -1.09%) cloud and software products.

On the Relentless podcast, Sam Altman said, "We're now, like, in the singularity." In its traditional sense, the singularity is the point in time when AI begins creating increasingly intelligent systems so quickly that progress becomes difficult for humans to predict or control.
Altman appears to be using "singularity" more broadly. Current AI can write code, find security flaws, and help researchers improve models. But there is no public evidence that it can independently design, train, and deploy increasingly capable successor systems.
OpenAI still treats AI self-improvement as an advanced capability that models must be tested for, rather than something they can already do reliably. Anthropic treats fully automated AI research and rapid acceleration in AI development as risks to monitor rather than established milestones.
Nvidia could win before the singularity arrives More capable AI models can increase the computing needed both to build them and to run them. This, in turn, drives demand for advanced processing and networking chips and high bandwidth memory.

Nvidia is already benefiting from this trend. In the first quarter of fiscal 2027 (ending April 26, 2026), data center revenue rose 92% year over year to $75.2 billion. The company claimed that its new Dynamo software can help Blackwell chips process AI requests up to 7 times faster. The company's next-generation Vera Rubin systems are also moving into full production to run AI agents that handle longer and more complex tasks.
While increasing efficiency can limit Nvidia's growth by requiring fewer chips, lower costs could encourage much wider use of AI agents and reasoning models. Hence, Nvidia will benefit only if overall AI usage grows faster than the pace at which computing becomes more efficient. Custom chips from Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon add another competitive risk.
Microsoft can also turn stronger AI into revenue Microsoft can monetize stronger AI through Azure cloud infrastructure, its stake in OpenAI, and Microsoft 365 Copilot.

The AI business is already gaining traction. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 (ending June 30, 2026), Azure and other cloud services revenue rose 43% year over year. Microsoft 365 Copilot also surpassed 30 million paid users.
Microsoft does not own OpenAI, but is a primary cloud partner and a major shareholder. Microsoft will also receive a share of OpenAI's revenue through 2030 and can use its models and products under a nonexclusive license through 2032.
Microsoft, however, must balance the cost of supporting its AI growth. The company spent $35.8 billion on property, plant, and equipment expenses in the fourth quarter, more than double the amount in the same quarter of the prior year. Hence, the company needs to generate enough revenue to cover these rising infrastructure costs and deliver attractive returns.
Which stock benefits more? Nvidia and Microsoft are trading at 15.6 times and 20.3 times their forward earnings, respectively.
Nvidia looks more attractive today, provided overall AI usage continues to grow faster than improvements in computing efficiency and competition from custom chips.

AMD klesá o 6 % navzdory rekordním tržbám za 2. čtvrtletí 2026 a lepšímu výhledu na 3. čtvrtletí. NVIDIA přidává 4 % poté, co ji SpaceX vybrala jako exkluzivního dodavatele AI čipů pro program Starmind orbital compute.
Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD | AMD Price Prediction) are down 6% to $486.60 Wednesday morning despite a record Q2 2026 report after Tuesday’s close. Meanwhile, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock is climbing 4% to $221.33 after SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) named the chip giant its exclusive AI chip supplier for the new Starmind orbital compute program.
The split reaction is sorting the AI trade into clear winners and losers today. Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock is down 1% to $101.10 with no company-specific catalyst, Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) shares are up 1% at $423.59, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX) is unchanged/flat at $540.91.
For context, SpaceX stock cratered 12% this morning after the company’s first public earnings report.
A Record Quarter That Wasn’t Enough AMD reported Q2 2026 revenue of $11.5 billion, up 50% year over year (YoY), with non-GAAP EPS of $1.66 topping the roughly $1.61 consensus. The company’s data center revenue more than doubled YoY to $6.7 billion and now represents 58% of total sales.
AMD CEO Lisa Su declared, “We delivered an excellent quarter, with record revenue and profitability as Data Center revenue more than doubled year-over-year.” Her tone stayed upbeat despite the after-hours selloff.
Furthermore, AMD’s Q3 guidance came in at about $13 billion (plus or minus $300 million), above the roughly $12.5 billion consensus but below whisper numbers near $14 billion. The company’s capex jumped to $808 million from $282 million a year earlier, and management flagged a softer second-half PC market.
AMD stock was already priced for perfection heading into the earnings print. Shares have more than doubled this year and trade at a rich 152.98x trailing P/E ratio, so a solid beat that wasn’t a blowout disappointed the bulls.
NVIDIA Gets the SpaceX Nod SpaceX founder Elon Musk called NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin the best architecture available and committed SpaceX to NVIDIA chips exclusively for its Starmind orbital compute program. That announcement is a competitive snub for AMD, which had been positioning its Instinct MI450 family as a hyperscaler alternative.
NVIDIA stock trades at a comparatively reasonable 33.86x trailing P/E ratio versus AMD’s 152.98x. The read-through from SpaceX’s massive AI compute spending reinforces the hyperscaler GPU demand narrative that has powered NVIDIA shares this year.

The Sector Reaction Is Contained Intel stock only declining 1% with no company-specific catalyst today signals that AMD’s selloff isn’t spreading to the broader chip group. Broadcom shares are up 1% and trade at a 66.3x trailing P/E ratio, while the SOXX ETF is unchanged today and trades at a 38.04x P/E ratio.
The SOXX fund holds AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, and Broadcom in a single basket, and the ETF’s unchanged share price suggests that AMD’s issues aren’t sparking a sector-wide selloff. The fund isn’t leveraged, though investors should keep their exposure sized to reflect SOXX’s heavy concentration in the same handful of AI-exposed names.
Intel has no trailing P/E ratio because it isn’t profitable on a trailing 12-month basis, though the company’s AI inferencing pivot has helped Intel shares rally sharply this year. Broadcom’s custom AI accelerator momentum, meanwhile, keeps it a live competitor to both NVIDIA and AMD.
Analysts Stay Bullish as the Bar Stays High Even with today’s drop, sell-side analysts stuck with AMD stock. Wells Fargo raised its AMD price target to $700 from $615 (Overweight), Jefferies to $650 from $640 (Buy), and JPMorgan to $550 from $385 (Neutral). Citi kept AMD as a top Buy pick and KeyBanc stayed Overweight.
TD Cowen and Bernstein both flagged the very high bar heading into the report, which helps explain why a strong quarter still triggered profit-taking. The bull case for AMD stays intact, with the company guiding data-center revenue to more than double in 2027, AI GPUs growing well over 100%, and revenue growth above its 35%-plus target.
Investors can watch for whether AMD stock holds $492 into the close, and whether NVIDIA stock can extend its move as SpaceX’s AI capex figures filter through the sell side. Momentum traders may keep both names active through the afternoon.
The SOXX ETF can serve as a real-time gauge of how much of today’s story is company-specific versus a broader repricing of the AI hardware trade. Stay tuned for any late-day reversal in AMD, along with any sudden changes in Intel and Broadcom shares.

NVIDIA oznámila tržby ve výši 81,615 miliardy USD, meziročně o 85,23 % více, a uvedla, že systémy B200 jsou vyprodané. CEO Jensen Huang řekl, že rozšiřování AI továren zrychluje mimořádným tempem.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) just posted the loudest quarter of the AI cycle. Revenue of $81.615 billion, up 85.23% year over year, and CEO Jensen Huang telling shareholders that “the buildout of AI factories, the largest infrastructure expansion in human history, is accelerating at extraordinary speed.”
Yet shares sit at $211.94, roughly 28% below the $236.26 52-week high. B200 systems are sold out. Can NVIDIA hit $300 by 2027?
What Is Holding NVIDIA Back Right Now The stock is flat over the past month, down 0.3% from mid-July, and up about 13% year to date. That price action lags what an 85% revenue growth story usually delivers.
Two headwinds: China, where management assumed no Data Center compute revenue from China in the Q2 guide with no H20 shipments in Q1 versus $4.6 billion a year ago. Second, sentiment cooled. The composite score fell 17.65 points in the last seven days to 47.51. With a beta of 2.215, NVIDIA amplifies every macro wobble. The fundamentals are strong. The market is digesting.
Wall Street Sees 43% Upside. Our Model Says 22%. Consensus target is $302.83, with 10 Strong Buy, 48 Buy, 2 Hold, and 1 Sell rating. Bullish sentiment sits at 95%. Our model is more measured. Base case of $259.34 implies 22.36% upside at 0.9 confidence, with an optimistic case of $269.94 and conservative $225.78.
Our earnings growth contribution of +0.03 anchors on 2.145 YoY EPS growth that could stay elevated longer than the model assumes, because inference demand is running hotter than any prior cycle. Analysts anchoring to visible orders may still be too conservative.
The Path to $300 Per Share Reaching $300 from today’s price of $211.94 would require a gain of 41.5%. With forward EPS of $8.26, a price of $300 implies a forward P/E of 36x. Our base case of $259.34 already implies 36x, meaning the bold target requires the same multiple applied to higher EPS delivery.
Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.
That path is credible. Q2 guidance points to $91 billion in revenue with $119 billion in supply-related commitments locked in.
Catalysts include SpaceX committing to NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin NVL72 rackscale system both on Earth and in space, hyperscaler capex rising toward $1.2 trillion, and Huang describing an addressable opportunity of $3 to $4 trillion in AI infrastructure spend by the end of the decade. The primary risk is a China escalation that permanently strands the Data Center compute opportunity there.
Where NVIDIA Trades Today vs Its Earnings Power At $211.94 against forward EPS of $8.26, the stock trades near 26x forward earnings. That is cheap for a business compounding revenue at 85% and net income at 210.63% year over year. Shares sit between a 52-week low of $163.85 and high of $236.26.
The ecosystem tape confirms it. AMD (NASDAQ:AMD), Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL), and Micron (NASDAQ:MU) are rallying alongside NVIDIA as inference demand pulls the entire semiconductor and memory stack higher.
Is $300 Realistic? Here’s My Take A move to $300 requires a 41.5% gain and a forward P/E of 36x. That is an ambitious but achievable stretch.
Three things need to break right: Q2 delivery at or above the $91 billion guide, continued Blackwell and Vera Rubin ramp with no supply hiccup, and any thaw in China policy that reopens even a partial H20 lane. A broader risk-off in mega-cap tech that compresses multiples across the sector would derail it. Returns at this level shouldn’t be expected every year, but we’ve outlined the blueprint for how NVIDIA could reach $300 in 2027.

Bit Origin uvedla, že jejích prvních 16 serverů NVIDIA Blackwell B300 má dorazit ve 3. čtvrtletí 2026 do Malajsie. Firma se opírá o silnou poptávku po AI infrastruktuře a existující hostingové dohody.
International Data Corporation projects worldwide AI infrastructure spending to reach approximately US$497 billion in 2026, representing growth of approximately 53% as compared to 20251Worldwide AI infrastructure spending projected to exceed US$1 trillion by 2029, representing an average compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of approximately 31% for the years 2025-20292Bit Origin’s initial 16-server deployment remains on schedule for the third quarter of 2026 and remains supported by contracted customer demand and established hosting arrangements SINGAPORE, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bit Origin Ltd (NASDAQ: BTOG) (the “Company”), a company focused on AI computing infrastructure, digital asset innovation, and blockchain-based strategies, today highlighted industry growth projections supporting their continued investment in accelerated computing infrastructure and provided additional context regarding the commercialization framework for its previously announced NVIDIA Blackwell B300 AI server transaction.
Rapidly Expanding AI Infrastructure Market
According to International Data Corporation (“IDC”), worldwide AI infrastructure spending is projected to reach approximately US$497 billion in 2026, representing growth of approximately 53% as compared to 2025.
IDC further projects that worldwide AI infrastructure spending will exceed US$1 trillion by 2029, representing an average CAGR of approximately 31% for the years 2025 through 2029. Within this market, accelerated servers, which are primarily GPU-based systems, are projected to grow at an average CAGR of approximately 42% and account for more than 95% of server AI infrastructure spending by the end of 2029.3
NVIDIA reported that its revenue growth during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was driven by demand for data center products supporting accelerated computing and AI solutions. For the fiscal quarter ended April 26, 2026, NVIDIA reported record Data Center revenue of US$75.2 billion, representing an increase of approximately 21% from the immediately preceding fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2026.4 NVIDIA’s financial results are presented solely as an indicator of broader industry demand and are not indicative of the Company’s expected performance or financial condition.
The Company believes these developments may reflect growing infrastructure requirements associated with AI training, inference, reasoning, and other advanced computing workloads, although there can be no assurance that the Company will benefit from such developments.
Malaysia’s Expanding Digital Infrastructure Market
Malaysia, where the Company’s initial NVIDIA Blackwell B300 infrastructure is expected to be deployed, is emerging as an important regional destination for data center and cloud computing investment.
According to the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (“MIDA”), Malaysia approved approximately RM144.4 billion, or approximately US$35.3 billion, of data center and cloud computing investments between 2021 and mid-2025. 5
MIDA has also cited projections that Malaysia’s data center market could grow from approximately US$4.04 billion in 2024 to approximately US$13.57 billion by 2030, representing an estimated compound annual growth rate of approximately 22.38%.6
The Company believes Malaysia’s expanding digital infrastructure ecosystem provides a relevant operating environment for its planned deployment. Market-level investment and growth projections, however, do not necessarily indicate demand for the Company’s services or guarantee the successful deployment or commercial performance of its equipment.
Initial NVIDIA Blackwell B300 Deployment
As previously announced, the Company acquired sixteen NVIDIA Blackwell B300 AI servers, together with the benefit of previously executed customer deployment and data center hosting arrangements.
The servers have not yet been delivered or deployed and are currently expected to be delivered during the third quarter of 2026 for deployment at a data center facility in Malaysia.
In connection with the transaction, the Company entered into a five-year management agreement under which an experienced third-party manager is responsible for coordinating the deployment, management, and commercialization of the servers. These responsibilities include coordinating data center hosting, power, network connectivity, equipment maintenance, and commercial utilization.
This operating structure is intended to allow the Company to participate in AI computing infrastructure while relying on specialized third-party capabilities for day-to-day deployment and operation. The Company intends to evaluate the performance of this initial deployment before pursuing additional expansion opportunities.
“Global investment in accelerated computing infrastructure continues to grow as AI workloads become more complex and increasingly compute-intensive,” said Jinghai Jiang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
“Our immediate focus is on the successful delivery, deployment, and commercialization of our initial NVIDIA Blackwell B300 servers in Malaysia. We believe disciplined execution of this transaction can establish an operating model that may support selective future expansion.”
The Company expects to provide additional updates as material delivery, deployment, and commercialization achievements are met.

Elon Musk says SpaceX is going all in on Nvidia's GPUs. Bloomberg/Getty Images SpaceX says it's ready to be a one-chip supplier company.
On SpaceX's highly anticipated earnings call on Wednesday, CEO Elon Musk said his company was committed to buying graphics processing units from only one place.
"Going forward, we've decided to build exclusively on Nvidia because we think the Vera Rubin architecture is the best architecture," Musk said on the call, talking about his company's compute capacity. "We think it's the best AI computer, and we greatly value our close cooperation and partnership on many levels with Nvidia. So we're exclusive to Nvidia."
He added that SpaceX will receive a significant percentage of Nvidia's GPUs next year, indicating that the space company could make up a notable share of Nvidia's revenue.
Nvidia has been a key technology partner for both of Musk's public companies, Tesla and SpaceX, supplying GPU platforms that support AI model training, simulation, and advanced computing. Although Tesla has invested heavily in custom AI chips, it continues to use Nvidia GPUs for various AI and data center workloads.
Following the call, Musk reiterated his commitment to Nvidia, announcing it again on X.
In a post on Wednesday night, he wrote: "SpaceX has committed to using Nvidia GPUs exclusively because they are the best."
An exclusive contract with Nvidia cuts out rival chipmakers like Intel, AMD, and Broadcom. The exclusive announcement also runs counter to the diversification strategy that large tech companies often employ to reduce the risk of supply bottlenecks and other challenges stemming from dependence on a single company.
'World class' productsMusk and his companies have received similar compliments from Nvidia in return.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has repeatedly praised Musk as an "extraordinary engineer," and said that Nvidia does significant business with Tesla and SpaceX's xAI. He has also called Musk's work on xAI's Grok and Tesla products "world-class."
On Wednesday, the space company reported its first quarterly earnings as a listed company, topping revenue expectations. It reported that second-quarter sales rose 92% year on year to $7.8 billion, driven by growth in AI infrastructure and Starlink, its satellite internet network.
On the call, Musk said the company aims to reach a $100 billion annual revenue run rate by year-end, but Wall Street remained cautious over the pace of spending and its impact on near-term profitability.
"I think it may be higher than that," Musk said, adding that the $100 billion ARR is "if we did nothing."
Despite revenue, investors focused on the company's high AI spending and a $541 million loss, sending shares down more than 7% after hours.

NVIDIA oznámila „významnou“ investici do tajné AI laboratoře Safe Superintelligence Ilyi Sutskevera. Firma uvedla, že to pomůže zdesetinásobit výpočetní kapacitu během příštích 12 měsíců.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) shares have advanced 17.5% over the past year and 943.9% over five years, closing at $206.64 on August 3 before tacking on another 1.74% to $210.23 after recapturing headlines. If you watched that run from the sidelines, the question is unavoidable: with NVIDIA now investing directly in OpenAI alum Ilya Sutskever’s secretive AI lab Safe Superintelligence lab, is it too late to buy?
According to the announcement, NVIDIA is making a “substantial investment” that will let the lab “10x our compute in the next 12 months,” a commitment made after The Wall Street Journal reported NVIDIA received a “rare glimpse” into SSI’s research. Superintelligence, in this context, means AI systems that exceed human capability across essentially all cognitive tasks. Whether SSI gets there or not, the scaling-law logic points in the same direction: more frontier labs chasing that target translates to greater demand for compute, and NVIDIA still sells the picks and shovels.
Valuation: Reasonable, Not Cheap At $210.23, NVIDIA trades at a trailing P/E of 30.7 and a forward P/E of 22.8, with a PEG of 0.553. That forward multiple is lower than the S&P 500’s typical growth-stock band. It sits against Q1 FY2027 revenue of $81.615 billion, up 85.23% year over year, non-GAAP EPS of $1.87, the fourth consecutive beat, and free cash flow of $48.554 billion in one quarter.
Analyst consensus price target stands at $302.83, backed by 48 Buy ratings and 10 Strong Buys against just 2 Holds and 1 Sell.
Forward Catalyst: The Buildout Is Accelerating Nvidia’s Q2 FY27 guidance is just as bullish. Management calls for $91.0 billion in revenue at a 75.0% non-GAAP gross margin. Total supply commitments have swelled to $119.0 billion, a visibility figure that dwarfs the $50.3 billion two quarters earlier. CEO Jensen Huang famously called the AI-factory buildout “the largest infrastructure expansion in human history.”

Blackwell 300 is ramping, Vera Rubin is announced, and the SSI deal adds another named frontier customer alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google Cloud. Every dollar SSI spends chasing superintelligence ultimately routes through NVIDIA silicon fabricated by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM), whose Q2 2026 revenue grew 36% YoY on the same wave.
Downside: What You Are Underwriting Nvidia’s forward guidance excludes any Data Center compute revenue from China. The company’s $30.0 billion in multi-year cloud service commitments and the $119 billion supply book create real execution risk if hyperscaler capex softens. Insider direction across 26 recent transactions is net selling. Polymarket traders assign only a 51.5% probability that NVDA closes August above $210, and just a 21.5% shot above $230. The 52-week low below $165 defines the range of a garden-variety AI-capex scare.
Verdict The setup remains constructive. A forward multiple of roughly 23 on a business growing revenue 85% year over year in the latest quarter, with 75% gross margins, $48.5 billion in quarterly free cash flow, and an $80 billion buyback authorization, is a price a growth-oriented retirement investor can defensibly pay for the dominant supplier to the AI infrastructure cycle. The SSI investment adds one more data point to the same thesis: frontier labs will keep scaling compute, and NVIDIA sits at the toll booth.
The 200-day moving average near $193 is the level to watch for investors weighing a new entry against the announcement-driven pop. NVIDIA is not cheap in absolute terms, but the multiple still looks reasonable if the AI infrastructure cycle keeps converting into revenue, margin, and cash.

Anthropic uzavřel šestiletou smlouvu na výpočetní kapacitu za 10 miliard USD s Volta Infra Holdings, aby posílil zdroje pro rostoucí poptávku po AI produktech.
Anthropic has signed a $10 billion, six-year deal for computing capacity with Volta Infra Holdings, a cloud infrastructure startup backed by Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, XETRA:NVD), according to media reports citing people familiar with the matter, as the Claude maker moves to secure additional computing resources amid growing demand for its AI products.
Volta announced earlier Tuesday that it had secured a six-year, $10 billion agreement with an unnamed artificial intelligence company. The deal will be delivered in partnership with Bitdeer Technologies Group, a bitcoin miner that operates data centers, using a site in Norway.
The managed data center is expected to feature Nvidia’s next-generation Vera Rubin AI chips, according to details of the agreement. Volta was recently valued at $2.4 billion following a $300 million funding round.
Volta CEO Ricard Boada declined to identify the customer. Representatives for Anthropic and Bitdeer declined to comment.
The agreement adds to Anthropic’s efforts to expand its computing capacity as businesses and consumers increasingly use its Claude chatbot and other AI tools, particularly for coding and related tasks.
Anthropic has also entered computing agreements with SpaceX, Advanced Micro Devices and Akamai Technologies, while the company is reportedly in discussions to lease computing capacity from data centers operated by Meta Platforms.
Nvidia v úterý vzrostla o 2,3 % na 211,48 USD, protože obnovený optimismus kolem AI infrastruktury podpořil čipy. Akcie navázaly na 2,9% růst v předchozí seanci.
Nvidia stock NVDA rose on Tuesday, extending a recent rebound as renewed optimism surrounding artificial intelligence infrastructure lifted semiconductor stocks and helped drive US equities to fresh record highs.
The stock gained 2.3% to $211.48 in early trading after climbing 2.9% in the previous session.
Other chipmakers also advanced sharply, with Advanced Micro Devices and Intel each rising around 9%.
The broader market rallied as easing oil prices and stronger-than-expected corporate earnings boosted investor sentiment.
The S&P 500 rose 1.8% to a record intraday high, its first since June, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 2.5%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1,035 points, or 2%, led by a 6% gain in Caterpillar.
The advance came as hopes grew that the Strait of Hormuz could reopen, contributing to another decline in oil prices.
Despite the recent recovery, Nvidia has lagged the broader semiconductor sector this year.
The shares have gained 11% in 2026 and are up 16% over the past 12 months.
By comparison, the PHLX Semiconductor Index had risen 61% this year through Monday's close and added another 6% in Tuesday trading.
Investors have increasingly broadened their exposure across the semiconductor industry as spending on AI infrastructure expands beyond graphics processing units.
While Nvidia remains the dominant supplier of AI accelerators, competition has intensified from AMD and custom chip developers, as well as companies focused on central processing units, including Intel.
The company's relative underperformance has left Nvidia trading at lower valuation multiples than many of its semiconductor peers.
According to FactSet, Nvidia trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 18.9 times, below the S&P 500's forward multiple of about 20 times.
The PHLX Semiconductor Index trades at an average forward multiple of 20.6 times, while Intel trades at about 50.4 times forward earnings and AMD at approximately 43 times.
Investors use price-to-earnings multiples to assess a company's valuation relative to the earnings it is expected to generate.
With the growth of online trading apps, tracking such metrics has become significantly easier and more accessible to market participants.
The comparatively lower valuation has led some investors to view Nvidia as increasingly attractive following the recent selloff.
Financing concerns remain in focusTuesday's gains extended Nvidia's recovery after several weeks of pressure driven by concerns over artificial intelligence spending, financing arrangements, and rising competition in the semiconductor industry.
Investor sentiment had also weakened following reports that a Chinese company had begun mass-producing key chipmaking equipment, raising questions about future competitive dynamics.
Separately, The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia is discussing a roughly $250 billion financing guarantee to support OpenAI's lease of a large data centre project in Ohio.
The proposed arrangement would help OpenAI secure more favourable financing while supporting long-term demand for Nvidia's AI processors.
However, the report also raised concerns among some investors that financing agreements between Nvidia and its customers could resemble the circular financing structures seen during the dotcom era.
The latest rally suggests investors are once again focusing on the long-term outlook for AI infrastructure demand, even as competition broadens and questions remain over how future spending will be distributed across the semiconductor industry.

« PREVIOUS HEADLINEClearwater Capital Advisors LLC Purchases 4,873 Shares of NVIDIA Corporation $NVDA
NVIDIA uvedla, že má plnou důvěru v 1 bilion USD v tržbách z Blackwell a Rubin v letech 2025 až 2027, což potvrzuje silnou poptávku po čipech. CFO zároveň řekla, že firma je omezená zásobami.
Jim Cramer keeps telling viewers that NVIDIA chips hold their value because they are scarce. Now NVIDIA management has put a number behind that argument, and it is one most retail investors have probably never seen quoted.
The Number: $1 Trillion On the May 20, 2026 earnings call, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) CFO Colette Kress told investors the company has “full confidence in $1 trillion in Blackwell and Rubin revenue we foresee from 2025 through calendar 2027,” fueled by data center demand. That is forward revenue visibility, not booked sales, and it is the clearest quantification of chip scarcity NVIDIA has ever put in writing. To back that visibility with physical supply, the company disclosed it had $119.0 billion in total supply-related commitments as of the Q1 FY2027 filing, and Kress said on the call that the tally inclusive of inventory purchases and prepaids had climbed to $145 billion.
What It Means A trillion dollars of demand visibility across two product cycles is a backlog statement dressed up as a forecast. But it is also a scarcity statement. NVIDIA is telling suppliers, customers, and shareholders that it has more orders than it can build. CEO Jensen Huang made the constraint explicit: “My sense is that we’ll be supply constrained throughout the entire life of Vera Rubin.”
The pricing evidence supports it. H100 rental prices are up 20% year to date, and A100 cloud pricing is up nearly 15%. Prior-generation silicon is appreciating, which only happens when new supply cannot catch demand.
That backlog is already showing up in the P&L. Q1 FY2027 revenue landed at $81.61 billion, up 85.23% year over year, beating consensus by 3.16%. Data Center revenue reached $75.25 billion, growing 92% YoY, with networking alone at $14.8 billion, up 199%. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 75.0%, versus 60.8% a year earlier. Companies that lack pricing power do not print massive gross margins on $81.61 billion in a single quarter.
Market Reaction Shares closed at $206.64 on August 3, 2026, versus around $223 at the Q1 FY27 filing on May 20, 2026. The custom period from filing date through August 3 shows a 7.43% decline. Momentum has turned recently: the stock is up 7.4% over the past week and up 8.6% over the past month, with year-to-date performance at +13.4%.
Don't wait: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just revealed his top 10 AI stocks. See the full list FREE now.
Bull Case The $1 trillion figure reframes the data center debate. Detractors have argued that hyperscaler capex will normalize and that AI infrastructure depreciates faster than the market assumes. NVIDIA’s counter is that analysts now forecast hyperscale capex to exceed $1 trillion by 2027 and that AI infrastructure spending is tracking toward $3 trillion to $4 trillion annually by the end of this decade. Against that, the Blackwell and Rubin visibility captures only two product generations and one platform vendor.
Customer breadth reinforces the backlog. Kress said the number of partner data centers exceeding 10MW has nearly doubled in a year, now surpassing 80 sites, and NVIDIA infrastructure is deployed across nearly 40 countries. Sovereign revenue is up more than 80% year over year. Vera CPU alone opens what Huang called a $200 billion TAM with nearly $20 billion in CPU revenue visibility this year.
Capital return signals confidence. The board authorized an additional $80.0 billion in share repurchases, and increased the quarterly dividend from $0.01 to $0.25. Free cash flow of $48.55 billion in a single quarter, compared with $26.1 billion in the year-ago period, bankrolls all of it without touching the balance sheet. And the stock trades at roughly 23 times forward earnings, a multiple that has to be reconciled with 210.63% year-over-year net income growth.
Bottom Line The $1 trillion Blackwell and Rubin revenue forecast is a forward-looking statement, not a reported figure, and long-term holders should treat it that way. It is also the cleanest number NVIDIA has ever offered to quantify what Cramer sees brewing on the surface: chips that hold their value because there are not enough of them. Q2 FY2027 guidance calls for revenue of $91.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, with gross margin held at 75.0%. If the company delivers, the trillion-dollar figure stops sounding like a slogan and starts looking like a roadmap.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer distilled the current NVIDIA setup into one sentence on X: “you get a couple of reports that Nvidia chips are holding their value and are scarce and the stock soars.” The post landed as NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) closed up 2.93% at $206.64 on August 3, 2026, extending a 6.7% one-week gain and pushing the stock 12.8% higher year to date. For a name with a roughly $5.094 trillion market capitalization, that is a meaningful daily move, and it maps directly onto the two supply-side narratives Cramer is pointing at.
The Reports Behind Cramer’s Take Two theories circulating this week gave the scarcity thesis fresh ammunition. An analysis by Beth Kindig, aka the “Queen of Nvidia,” flagged that TSMC’s N3 process wafer capacity is severely constrained, with the biggest AI chip designers, NVIDIA and Google, both leaning on the same node and rising prices reflecting the bottleneck. Separately, Bank of America is now modeling hyperscaler capital expenditures to exceed $1.2 trillion over the next year, with the sector’s bottleneck shifting from demand to supply.
Value retention in the secondary GPU market is the second leg. Hyperscalers describe cloud GPUs as sold out, and rental economics for prior-generation Hopper silicon have stayed firm even as Blackwell ramps. That behavior signals a market where installed hardware is still earning its keep, which is the opposite of what you would expect if the AI capex cycle were peaking.
NVIDIA’s Numbers Confirm the Scarcity Thesis NVIDIA’s most recent report, filed May 20, 2026, reads like a scarcity case study. Q1 FY2027 revenue came in at $81.615 billion, up 85.23% YoY, beating the consensus by 3.16% and setting a new company record. Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.87 topped the $1.7738 estimate. Data Center revenue reached $75.246 billion, growing 92% year over year, with networking (InfiniBand, NVLink, Spectrum-X) up 199%.
The margin picture is the tell. Non-GAAP gross margin held at 75.0%, up from 60.8% a year earlier. Sustaining that gross margin while revenue nearly doubles is the fingerprint of pricing power created by supply that trails demand. Free cash flow of $48.55 billion in the quarter funded a $80 billion repurchase authorization and a dividend increase from $0.01 to $0.25 per share.

The clearest scarcity signal sits in the balance sheet commentary. Total forward supply-related commitments jumped to $119.0 billion in Q1 FY2027, versus $95.2 billion in Q4 FY2026 and $50.3 billion in Q3 FY2026. NVIDIA is writing large checks to lock in wafer starts, HBM, and networking silicon well before customer purchase orders convert to revenue. Details are in the company’s Q1 FY2027 8-K filing.
What to Watch Next Nvidia management guided Q2 FY2027 revenue to $91.0 billion, give or take 2%, with 75.0% non-GAAP gross margin, and that figure excludes any China Data Center compute revenue. Named commitments underneath the guide include 10 gigawatts of systems for OpenAI, an initial 1 gigawatt for Anthropic, millions of Blackwell and Rubin GPUs for Meta over multiple years, and 5-plus gigawatts for CoreWeave by 2030.
Jensen Huang framed the backdrop in generational terms: “The buildout of AI factories, the largest infrastructure expansion in human history, is accelerating at extraordinary speed.”
Valuation is where the debate lives. NVIDIA trades at roughly 30.7 times trailing earnings and 22.8 times forward earnings, with an analyst consensus target of $302.83 and 58 buy or strong buy ratings against 2 holds and 1 sell. Reddit sentiment, meanwhile, has been predominantly bearish across r/wallstreetbets in early August, driven more by loss-focused posts than by any obvious crack in the fundamentals. Cramer’s read is that scarcity and value retention are the signals that matter most for the next leg. The Q2 report, due in late August, will test that thesis against the $91 billion guide and bring the scarcity debate full circle.

Jensen Huang prosazuje otevřené AI modely, protože podle něj rozšíří jejich používání, a tím i poptávku po čipech Nvidia. Firma už sama vydává vlastní open modely Nemotron.
Jensen Huang has become a vocal champion of open-weight artificial intelligence (AI) models, the kind anyone can download, customize, and run themselves. He even organized a letter urging Washington not to restrict them, one that quickly gathered dozens of corporate signatories, including OpenAI and Alphabet.
It sounds like a principled stand for open technology. But for Nvidia (NVDA +2.93%), it is also a shrewd business move, one aimed squarely at expanding the company's total addressable market.

Why open models mean more Nvidia chips Here is the logic. Closed AI models keep development bottled up inside a handful of well-funded labs. Open-weight models blow that open, letting millions of companies, start-ups, researchers, and even entire countries build and run their own AI. And every one of those deployments needs computing power, the vast majority of which runs on Nvidia's chips.
Huang has pointed out that roughly 1-in-4 AI tokens generated today already come from an open model, and he wants that share to keep climbing. The more places AI takes root, the more Nvidia hardware the world needs.
Nvidia is not just cheering from the sidelines, either. It builds its own open models, releasing its Nemotron family free to the public along with the training recipes and code. Giving away powerful models seeds demand for the one thing Nvidia actually sells: the silicon to run them.

The strategic logic Step back, and the strategy is elegant. In my opinion, Nvidia does not care which AI model wins, as long as the world keeps building more of them. Closed models concentrate demand; open models democratize it across the entire economy. By pushing to make AI universal and freely available, Jensen Huang is quietly ensuring that the whole ecosystem, from a solo developer to a national government, runs on Nvidia's platform. His idealism and his order book point in the same direction.
The strategy is not without danger. Open models also let rivals, including China, build competitive AI cheaply, and the gap between the best American and Chinese open models is narrowing. That has stirred real concern about U.S. technological leadership. There is also a subtler risk: Hyper-efficient open models could, in theory, accomplish more with less computing power, softening the very demand Nvidia is counting on.
The takeaway for investors I read Huang's open-weight crusade as a smart strategy wrapped in principle. It is a bet that making AI universal grows the pie for Nvidia far faster than it feeds its rivals. For investors, it signals a company playing the long game to keep the entire AI economy running on its chips, even if the open-model genie cuts both ways.
NVIDIA spouští tři open source knihovny Omniverse na GitHubu, aby dostala simulaci a fyzickou AI přímo do nástrojů, které vývojáři už používají. Firma tím posiluje svůj softwarový ekosystém před výsledky za 2. čtvrtletí fiskálního roku 2027.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) just quietly reset how investors should think about its next decade. The chip story is well told. The software story now has a number.
The Number Three. That is how many open-source Omniverse libraries NVIDIA is releasing on GitHub as part of its Agent Toolkit expansion tied to SIGGRAPH 2026: ovrtx, ovphysx and CAD-to-SimReady. Three libraries sound modest. What they actually do is embed NVIDIA’s simulation stack directly inside the 3D and CAD tools engineers already use, letting AI agents handle sensor simulation, physics, and asset validation without leaving Houdini, Onshape, or Blender. That is the anchor: three open-source libraries designed to make NVIDIA the default runtime for physical AI development.
What It Means NVIDIA’s physical AI thesis has always needed a software layer to match the hardware. This is that layer. NVIDIA is meeting developers inside the tools they already run. SideFX is integrating the libraries into Houdini. PTC (NASDAQ:PTC) is integrating them into Onshape. Four Inception startups (ForgeCAD, Lightwheel, Moonlake AI, and Palatial) are building agent-driven workflows on top. Every one of those integrations is a lock-in point.
The financial scale behind this software push is already visible in the reported numbers. Q1 FY27 Data Center revenue reached $75.25 billion, up 92% year over year, with Data Center Networking revenue of $14.8 billion, up 199% year over year. Total revenue landed at $81.61 billion, up 85.2%, with non-GAAP EPS of $1.87 versus a $1.7738 estimate. The company is guiding Q2 FY27 revenue to $91.0 billion plus or minus 2% at a 75% non-GAAP gross margin. Those margins are the tell. Hardware alone rarely runs at that level for long. Software attach does.
Market Reaction The stock has cooled since the Q1 FY27 filing. Shares traded around $206.86 on Aug. 3, down nearly 12% from their year-to-date high. But over the past month, NVIDIA is up 5.78% with a one-year gain of nearly 15%. Longer horizons still tell the compounding story: 916% over five years. Market cap sits near $5.01 trillion against a P/E of 31 and a forward P/E of 23. NVIDIA reports Q2 FY27 financials on Aug. 26, and shares could rally into the company’s earnings call, especially with a renewed focus on the three-library release.
The Bull Case The three-library release matters because it converts NVIDIA’s hardware lead into a developer standard. Jensen Huang framed it directly: “The physical AI era will be built in simulation first.” If that is correct, the company that owns the simulation runtime owns the training ground for every robot, autonomous vehicle, and industrial system that follows.

The rest of the R&D disclosure reads like an argument for the same thesis. NVIDIA announced NemoClaw for the OpenClaw agent platform, OpenShell with privacy and security controls, and an Agent Toolkit for building autonomous enterprise AI agents. It rolled out Alpamayo 1.5 and Omniverse NuRec for autonomous driving, new Cosmos and Isaac GR00T N models, and the Halos OS unified safety architecture. It expanded partnerships for autonomous driving with Hyundai, Kia, Uber, BYD, Geely, Isuzu, and Nissan. On the compute side, the Vera Rubin platform and BlueField-4 STX anchor the next generation, and NVIDIA Dynamo 1.0 boosts generative and agentic inference on Blackwell GPUs by up to 7x.
Huang’s own framing from the call: “Agentic AI has arrived, doing productive work, generating real value and scaling rapidly across companies and industries. NVIDIA is uniquely positioned at the center of this transformation as the only platform that runs in every cloud, powers every frontier and open source model, and scales everywhere AI is produced, from hyperscale data centers to the edge.”
Capital return backs the operating story. The board approved an additional $80 billion share repurchase authorization, raised the quarterly dividend from $0.01 to $0.25 per share, and returned approximately $20.0 billion to shareholders in Q1. Analyst positioning is lopsidedly constructive, with 48 Buy ratings, 10 Strong Buy ratings, two Hold ratings and one Sell ratings, and an analyst target price of $302.31.
Bottom Line Three libraries do not sound like a moat until you notice where they land: inside Houdini, inside Onshape, inside the tools engineers already trust. That is how software ecosystems compound. Long-term holders should track two catalysts from the input data. First, the RTX Spark systems arriving in fall 2026 from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft Surface and MSI, which put local physical AI compute in developer hands. Second, the Q2 FY27 guidance of $91 billion plus or minus 2%, which is the next reported test of whether agentic and physical AI demand keeps compounding. Three libraries. One thesis. A company that keeps making its ecosystem harder to leave.

Jensen Huang odhaduje, že polovodičový průmysl může během zhruba deseti let vyrůst na 7,9 bilionu USD díky agentní AI. Z toho by mohly těžit Nvidia i Micron Technology.
The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution has so far defied the bears' prophecies of doom, and there are reasons to believe it will continue to do so. We may be entering the age of AI agents, or self-directed systems that can autonomously execute tasks, work toward goals, and help corporations achieve significant productivity gains. The agentic AI boom could catapult the semiconductor industry to new heights. Nvidia's (NVDA +2.93%) CEO, Jensen Huang, has a lot to say on the topic. After predicting in a recent Bloomberg interview that we will eventually have billions of AI agents, here's what he said about how big the industry needs to be to support that agentic AI explosion:
My guess is the semiconductor industry will probably have to be 10 times larger than it is today over the next decade or so.
The industry was valued at roughly $791.7 billion last year, according to some estimates, so that means Huang believes it could be worth $7.9 trillion in a decade. As he said, that's a mere guess, but the general sentiment is that the industry will need to expand rapidly over the next 10 years as agentic AI takes over. Several companies could capitalize on this and deliver strong returns. Here are two stocks to consider to avoid getting left behind: Nvidia itself and Micron Technology (MU +0.79%).

Nvidia remains the undisputed leader in the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) market, and the company's financial results and guidance suggest sustained demand for its products. In the first quarter of its fiscal year 2027, ended April 26, Nvidia's revenue jumped by 85% year over year to $81.6 billion. Gross margins increased to 74.9%, up from 60.5% in the comparable period of the previous fiscal year. Nvidia's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were $1.87, up 140% year over year.
The company famously projected $1 trillion in purchase orders for its Blackwell and Vera Rubin (which was released this year) through 2027. Nvidia's new Vera Rubin architecture is particularly important, since it includes the stand-alone Vera CPU (Central Processing Unit).

Agentic AI systems run on CPUs, so there should be sustained demand in that corner of the industry as AI agents become increasingly popular. Nvidia projected $20 billion in stand-alone CPU revenue through the end of 2026, and sees a $200 billion addressable market in that niche alone. That highlights the fact that Nvidia is no longer just a GPU company. The semiconductor specialist builds not just the chips, but also the systems, software, and networking that power AI.
That grants Nvidia strong prospects as the industry marches forward, and the company doesn't seem too expensive at current levels. Nvidia is trading at 22.9x forward earnings, versus an average of 20x for information technology stocks. That valuation is fair, considering Nvidia's position in the industry.
2. Micron Technology Micron makes memory and storage chips used in everything from smartphones to data centers. The company's data center business has been its biggest growth driver in recent quarters, as the memory chip shortage has supported sustained demand for its hardware and given it significant pricing power. Micron's financial results have exploded as a result.
In the third quarter of its fiscal year 2026, ended on May 28, Micron's revenue was $41.46 billion, growing by almost 346% year over year. The company's margins improved significantly, as did the bottom line. Micron's adjusted EPS of $25.11 was about 1215% higher than the year-ago period.
Meanwhile, one of the company's biggest competitors, Samsung Electronics, expects the memory chip shortage to last at least until 2028. And beyond that, if Huang's predictions about the semiconductor industry's direction over the next decade are even remotely correct, demand for Micron's products should remain healthy over this period. The market isn't convinced, though.

The stock is experiencing a pullback, with shares down 15% over the past month as many investors take some profits, fearing its amazing run won't last much longer. But as a counterpoint, Micron is trading at just 5.3x forward earnings, which seems like a bargain given how quickly revenue and earnings are growing. Further, the company has signed several long-term supply agreements that somewhat protect it against a sharp decline in revenue and earnings if demand for its products slows.
What does all this mean for investors? The tech stock could deliver outstanding returns over the long run if the AI industry maintains its momentum or the memory chip shortage persists. Investors who believe either outcome is likely should consider buying Micron's shares on the dip.
