NVIDIA na superpočítači JUPITER provedla rekordní simulaci kvantového procesoru se 104 qubity, odolného vůči chybám, a ověřila metodu vyžadující o 90 % méně fyzických qubitů.
NVIDIA researchers are using JUPITER — the largest supercomputer in Europe, built at Jülich Supercomputing Centre — for a record-breaking fault-tolerant quantum computing simulation.The 104-qubit simulation is the largest comprehensive simulation of a fault-tolerant quantum computing system to date, with no prior simulations modeling quantum processors in such full detail.The simulation validates a quantum computing approach that uses 90% fewer physical qubits than previous methods, accelerating progress toward useful applications in drug discovery, financial modeling and materials science.JUPITER simulations are providing the quantum industry with actionable insight into the impact of noise on fault-tolerant quantum computing, enabling researchers to refine designs before building hardware — shortening the path to viable quantum computers by years. BERLIN, Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVIDIA today announced a record-breaking quantum computing simulation on JUPITER, Europe’s first exascale supercomputer, allowing researchers to fully explore and validate magic state cultivation — a leading approach to fault-tolerant quantum computing that requires 90% fewer qubits than previous methods.
Running on a system of NVIDIA GH200 GPUs at Jülich Supercomputing Centre, the 104-qubit simulation is the largest comprehensive simulation of a fault-tolerant quantum processor to date, modeling how a realistic quantum processor performs fault-tolerant computation at record scale.
That level of fidelity gives researchers the data and tools needed to predict the performance of future designs before they are built — reducing reliance on hardware trial and error, and accelerating the path to useful quantum applications in fields like drug discovery, financial modeling and materials science.
“Useful quantum computing will require fantastically complex, fault-tolerant systems — and understanding how they behave at scale is essential to building them,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Our results from Jülich show how quantum processors and GPU supercomputers can work together to tackle research that would otherwise be out of reach — accelerating the discovery of transformative quantum applications.”
“Europe’s investment in JUPITER gives researchers the ability to investigate questions that were previously beyond reach,” said Kristel Michielsen, director of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre at the Forschungszentrum Jülich facility. “Working with NVIDIA, we’re bringing that capability to quantum computing — helping scientists make better-informed decisions about the designs most likely to deliver useful applications.”
Reducing the Resources Needed for Useful Quantum Computing
Because qubits operate at the limits of physics, the interactions needed to control them introduce unavoidable, error-inducing noise. Computing in the presence of such noise — known as fault-tolerant quantum computing — requires the use of magic states, a specific arrangement of qubits that is continually consumed during a fault-tolerant quantum computation.
Fault-tolerant quantum computers rely crucially on repeatedly producing magic states — meaning that any optimization in how they are made drastically reduces the difficulty of building a useful quantum computer.
By simulating this process under realistic noise, NVIDIA researchers validated a state-of-the art magic-state cultivation approach, giving researchers the tools needed to develop and test future improvements.
Earlier, groundbreaking research from Jülich simulated 50 qubits under ideal, noiseless conditions. This work simulates magic-state cultivation under realistic hardware noise, helping researchers understand the impact of errors.
From Research Development to Exascale Simulation
Simulating magic-state cultivation helps researchers evaluate and improve designs before building quantum hardware. But the memory required can grow exponentially with the number of qubits, putting large-scale simulations beyond the reach of conventional computing systems.
An NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 system at the NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) served as the development platform for the JUPITER project, enabling researchers to scale tests from four GPUs to hundreds before moving to 8,192 GPUs on JUPITER.
Researchers used the center to accelerate the development and testing of their simulation methods, compare results with JUPITER and explore how accuracy scaled with additional computing resources. This work helped reduce a weekslong simulation effort to days while preparing the team to use JUPITER’s exascale computing capacity effectively.
The project demonstrates how simulation will grow increasingly important and complex as quantum computing systems grow in size. It also shows the utility of accelerated computing clusters, like at NVAQC, in allowing researchers to develop and validate simulation methods before tapping into world-class supercomputers for their most demanding calculations.
The simulations ran using NVIDIA cuQuantum software to achieve highly optimized performance and scale, along with the NVIDIA CUDA-Q™ platform’s fault-tolerant logical layer to express the magic-state circuit.

Nvidia představila otevřený model Nemotron 3.5 Super VL se 120 miliardami parametrů pro podnikové AI agenty a dva modely Bolt určené pro lokální běh na AI PC a pracovních stanicích.
Nvidia on Thursday launched new open-weight models designed for always-on agents and edge computing.
The Nemotron 3.5 Super VL is a large, 120-billion-parameter model geared for agents used by the enterprise. While it uses fewer parameters than the Nemotron 3 Ultra model, Nvidia says it can deliver similar accuracy in instruction-following and tool-use tasks.
At the other end of the spectrum, the company also launched two lightweight Bolt models. These are intended to run locally on the new AI PCs (running the Nvidia RTX Spark chip) and workstations running the DGX Spark. Such PCs, aimed at consumers, programmers, and enterprise knowledge workers, are being released right now into the market through partners like Microsoft and Dell.
“Any organization that wants to run agents on Nvidia infrastructure now has an open, optimized model for their tier without having to choose between capability and deployability,” Nvidia’s vice president of Open Models and Software, Kari Briski, wrote in the blog post announcing these models.
Nvidia claims that the Super VL completes tasks faster than competing models from Anthropic and OpenAI (Opus 5, GPT 6.1 Sol, Luna, Astra) when post-trained on specific agentic tasks. These tasks include document intelligence, financial accounting, scientific experimentation, medical insurance claims, and security attack resilience.
While such claims are standard whenever a major tech company announces a new model, Nvidia has backed it up with a list of heavy-hitter companies that it says are using Super VL. These include Skydance, EY, Ramp, Crowdstrike, Perplexity, and Salesforce.
Of course, these aren’t the first open-weight models that Nvidia has released that compete with the proprietary frontier labs — companies that are both its customers and its investments. The GPU giant has an entire family of Nemotron models that do everything from multimodal artificial intelligence to reasoning, coding, math, and enterprise automation.
However, those fast-growing proprietary AI labs are now looking to many other chips and AI system makers beyond Nvidia to power their needs, like AWS’s Trainium and Cerebras, as well as building their own home-grown chips.
So Nvidia is leaning hard into the trend of enterprise companies wanting to run their own open models in their own data centers. “Unlike closed frontier models, organizations can post-train Super VL on their own data, deploy it on their own infrastructure and own what they build,” Briski wrote.
But with the announcement or the smaller, local PC models, it is also trying to push forward the nascent trend of consumer AI assistants. While it seems a new AI assistant is introduced every day by startups and Big Tech alike, privacy-weary consumers may not want to invite such agents so deeply into their lives giving them access to info about their families, health, finances, and so on.
So, while Nvidia hopes to create a new market for itself selling PCs powered by its chips by creating machines that run the models and agents locally, PC users “can delegate everyday projects … without sending those workloads to the cloud,” Briski wrote.
Of the two Bolt models, Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B 24GB is a 74-billion parameter model designed for local agentic tasks. It is intended to balance speed with reasoning to handle multistep reasoning, tool calling, and web browsing. The smallest Bolt E4B is aimed at conversational agents.
Super VL and Bolt 74B-A9B are available now, with Bolt E4B coming later this month, Nvidia says.

Jensen Huang says compute is now revenue, and NVIDIA's latest numbers back him up. But whether Wall Street's already-aggressive targets actually undershoot where this stock is headed depends on a few catalysts that could change the math entirely.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) chief executive Jensen Huang sums up the moment in one line: “AI has reached its inflection point. It’s doing useful work. Its tokens are productive and profitable. Now, compute is revenue.”
The latest quarter at NVIDIA supports him. Second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue reached $96.22 billion, up 105.8% year over year, and Data Center sales rose 117% to $89.02 billion.
Shares are up 20.15% year to date at $223.55 and have gained 932.51% over five years. Earnings are growing faster than the stock price, though, which leaves room for a revaluation. Here’s how NVIDIA could hit $400 in 2027.
Wall Street Already Sees 47% Upside The average analyst price target is $328.72, which means about 47% upside. Coverage has 10 Strong Buy and 49 Buy ratings against just one Sell.
Estimates keep rising. Consensus EPS for fiscal 2028 stands at $15.9146, compared with $12.7102 90 days ago. Over the past 30 days, analysts made 46 upward revisions and zero downward.
That works out to about 71% growth from the $9.3124 expected this fiscal year. NVIDIA has also exceeded EPS estimates for 6 consecutive quarters, most recently posting $2.22 against $2.0887 expected. A run like that suggests actual results could come in above forecasts.
Here’s the Math Behind $400 Per Share At today’s price, NVIDIA trades at 14x fiscal 2028 estimates. The S&P 500 trades at roughly 21-23x forward earnings, so NVIDIA is cheaper than the average stock despite growing much faster.
At $400, shares would trade at about 25x forward earnings. That is a modest premium for a business expected to grow EPS by roughly 71%.
What Could Push NVIDIA to $400? Vera Rubin: Purchase orders have arrived from “every major hyperscaler, AI cloud, and system OEM,” and management expects it to be “the fastest product ramp in NVIDIA’s history.” Each gigawatt of Vera Rubin represents a $40 billion revenue opportunity, compared with $25 billion for Blackwell. Demand above supply: Management guides to roughly 70% revenue growth in fiscal 2028 and says “customers’ forecasts point to our growth doubling next year.” Hyperscaler spending: Capital spending by the top five hyperscalers is expected to rise from nearly $800 billion in 2026 to $1.3 trillion in 2027. Key deals: AWS is deploying an additional 2 million GPUs, and OpenAI’s commitments total about 12 gigawatts of NVIDIA computing power. Buybacks: NVIDIA returned $26 billion to shareholders last quarter and has about $99 billion left under its buyback authorization. There are hurdles. Memory costs could push gross margin down to a 71% to 72% low, the outlook includes no China data center revenue, and supply stays tight through fiscal 2028.
NVIDIA Has Topped 79% in 10 Years Since 2000 Hitting $400 requires a gain of about 79%. Since 2000, NVIDIA has gained more than that in 10 calendar years.
Shares rose 239% in 2023, 171% in 2024, 227% in 2016 and 125% in 2021. At a market cap of about $5.395 trillion, repeating those gains is harder, but the record shows the stock can move this much.
$400 Is a Stretch, but Here’s Why It’s Possible A move to $400 would take a 79% gain in 2027. Analysts already expect 47% upside, estimates are rising quickly, and the stock trades below the market multiple.
If Vera Rubin ramps as planned, hyperscaler spending holds up and the beat run continues, a 25x multiple is a reasonable outcome. Such returns are rare, yet this is how NVIDIA could deliver outsized returns in 2027.

Amazon uvádí bezplatný open-source nástroj TorchNeuron, který umožní spouštět kód PyTorch na čipech Trainium bez nutnosti přepisování a posílí konkurenci pro společnost NVIDIA.
Amazon.com (AMZN.O) is introducing a new tool that allows its custom AI chips to run code written in the most popular AI coding language without modification, seeking to erode the advantage that underpins Nvidia's (NVDA.O) dominance in the AI computing market.
TorchNeuron lets developers run code written in a language called PyTorch on Amazon's Trainium AI chips with a single configuration change and no rewriting needed, according to Amazon's Annapurna Labs chip unit.
Amazon, which plans to announce the software at a developer conference in Silicon Valley on Monday, said the software will be publicly released as a free and open-source offering.
PyTorch, the open-source framework stewarded by Meta (META.O), is used by most AI developers. Nvidia has spent more than a decade on its software tool called Cuda that makes PyTorch code run well on Nvidia chips.
Other cloud computing players such as Google (GOOGL.O), which also has its own custom AI chips, are also working to lure away developers from Nvidia with better PyTorch tools.
Colin Brace, vice president of software for Annapurna Labs, said the move was aimed at reducing the number of steps AI developers must take to try Amazon's in-house chips.
"This has been about meeting customers where they're at," he told Reuters in an interview.
Brace said more than 30 early customers — spanning robotics, world models and voice AI — are using the new software, and that the switch to Amazon's chips can result in steep cost savings.
Nvidia (NVDA.O) has won central processor chip business with another fast-growing AI startup that until now relied entirely on chips from Intel and AMD, an early sign that its push into a market long controlled by those two rivals has traction.
Modal, a cloud-computing startup that rents out computing power to AI developers, said it plans to start using Nvidia's new Vera central processor for the first time for hosting agents, the AI systems that can carry out long-running tasks for human users. Modal until now has run such work only on Intel and AMD chips.
Modal last week raised $750 million in a funding round led by Accel at a $15.75 billion valuation, saying it is on track to record $1 billion in sales over the next year. Modal said usage of its services has tripled and revenue has grown more than 15 times year-over-year.
Modal said Monday that early tests showed the new Nvidia chip doubled the amount of work that AI agents can get done, prompting the company to support Nvidia's chip design for the first time, which will require some deep software changes on Modal's side.
But Chief Executive Erik Bernhardsson was careful to stress it is not abandoning its existing suppliers. The company said it will run the Nvidia chips alongside its current Intel and AMD offerings in a mixed fleet, putting each job on whatever hardware runs it best.
Bernhardsson said the tests were run against the Intel and AMD chips already on the market. Both Nvidia rivals are developing newer models that could narrow the gap with Nvidia.
"We'll test them when they're available," he said, adding that running a mixed setup means the company "can always deploy whatever hardware performs best."
Nvidia has told investors it expects to generate at least $20 billion from Vera chip sales this fiscal year, its opening bid for a market it values at roughly $200 billion. Nvidia has previously said OpenAI, Anthropic and Oracle also plan to use the chips, along with AI startups such as Perplexity.
Šéf společnosti Nvidia Jensen Huang uvedl, že laboratoře jako OpenAI a Anthropic představují jen 25–33 % poptávky po jejích čipech, takže růst AI nestojí pouze na nich.
Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks have taken a tremendous hit in October, as a toxic combination of higher interest rates and skepticism over the returns on AI spending has led to a steep sell-off.
Higher interest rates make it more costly to build AI data centers, all else being equal. Meanwhile, while leading AI labs Anthropic and OpenAI are still private, recent media leaks about their third-quarter revenue figures have suggested a potential slowdown.
If these two labs' revenues don't grow as much as some people anticipate, investors may cast doubt on the entire AI build-out, since Anthropic and OpenAI wouldn't be able to fund their commitments.
Are the fears real, or overblown? This week, Nvidia (NVDA -1.43%) CEO Jensen Huang weighed in on this very issue on a popular tech podcast.
NVDA Nvidia$214.13-$3.10 (-1.43%)
NASDAQ · As of 4:00 PM ET 10/16/26
The controversy
On Oct. 8, The Financial Times reported that in an investor presentation, OpenAI revealed it had reached $50 billion in annualized recurring revenue (ARR). That is well short of the $70 billion revenue figure leaked in September. While the difference was later addressed as a discrepancy in accounting methods, the headline still caused anxiety.
Then last week, Anthropic held its own investor presentations, revealing that it had made roughly $16.8 billion in revenue in Q3. Considering Anthropic generated only $4.6 billion in revenue in all of 2025, that's a remarkable achievement. Yet investors may still have been disappointed. In August, it was leaked that Anthropic was already at a $65 billion ARR at the end of July. So, the $67.2 billion Q3 annualized revenue figure would indicate a pretty sharp slowdown from July through September.
The back-to-back "leaks," along with rising inflation, were enough to send AI-related stocks, especially in the semiconductor sector, into a tailspin. After all, if Anthropic and OpenAI are slowing down, or not making as much as they thought, who is going to buy all of these chips and build all these expensive data centers?

Jensen: AI is bigger than Anthropic and OpenAI
Last Thursday, Nvidia (NVDA -1.43%) CEO Jensen Huang appeared on a podcast with venture capitalist Brad Gerstner. In that interview, Gerstner put the big question to Huang: Would Anthropic and OpenAI generate enough revenue to continue growing the AI build-out?
Huang remained confident for the following reasons.
1. There's more than just two frontier labs
The first point Huang made was that Anthropic and OpenAI aren't the only two frontier labs. During the interview, Huang pointed not only to OpenAI and Anthropic but also Grok, the chatbot and agent from xAI, which is owned by Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX -1.74%), Meta Platforms' (META -3.72%) new Muse agent, and Alphabet's (GOOG -2.32%) (GOOGL -2.47%) Gemini, as all "doing great" and growing.
Of note, Grok Bot, xAI's new personal and business agent, launched in August. Meta Platform's much-lauded Muse personal agent debuted in September. An impressive open-weight model from China's Moonshot AI, called Kimi, debuted in July. Not to be outdone, OpenAI released its latest Codex model in July as well, meant to compete more strongly with Anthropic's leading coding capabilities.
That's a deluge of competitive agents substantively entering the fray during Q3. As such, it's perhaps inevitable that Anthropic's slowdown was due to competition and market-share loss rather than an overall slowdown in AI usage or spending.
While we don't have exact figures, Axios reported that OpenAI's revenue run rate grew by roughly 70% in Q3, well above Anthropic's 46% quarter-over-quarter growth. That seems to price in the share-loss story, not a general AI slowdown story. We also don't know how much SpaceX, Alphabet, or Meta's AI-related revenue grew, as they haven't reported earnings yet. None of these companies breaks down AI agent revenue specifically, either. So, it may be difficult to even understand how fast AI agentic revenue is growing inside these companies when they do report.
2. Frontier Labs are only 25% to 33% of Nvidia revenue right now
Another point Huang made was that frontier labs account for only a quarter to one-third of Nvidia's chip demand. Another third, according to Huang, is general computing, while the final third involves new and emerging AI-related companies. These companies, for instance, may use an open-weights model and then add proprietary data and industry knowledge to create new AI products.
On general computing growth, one point Huang has stressed over the past couple of years is that Moore's Law is "over." Moore's Law says that the amount of computing power roughly doubles every year at the same price, as chips pack more and more transistors onto a piece of silicon. However, Huang claims that semiconductor manufacturing is running up against the laws of physics and that, as a result, compute efficiency gains are slowing. Therefore, if someone wants to double their compute next year, the cost will increase rather than remain the same.
Given that there are more than just two labs, and that frontier labs account for only 25% to 35% of demand, Huang thinks people are putting way too much emphasis on OpenAI and Anthropic. Meanwhile, those labs still appear to be doing quite well even as they face more competition.
There should still be a shortage
Almost all commentary from leading AI chip companies says there is still a huge shortage of compute relative to demand. So even if leading frontier labs are under competitive pressure, semiconductors seem likely to find a buyer somewhere.
It appears from early Q3 earnings reports, especially from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, that chip demand remains strong. However, AI investors would do well to listen to other companies downstream from the chip giants to see whether they are generating AI-related revenue growth and efficiency gains.
Ultimately, AI will have to generate revenue and/or cost efficiencies for the end customer to justify this spending. So, commentary from AI users -- not necessarily the chipmakers themselves -- may be more important to chip stock performance than the chip companies' earnings during this upcoming earnings season.

The developments reinforce demand, although they may take time to affect revenue. Taiwan Texas industrial parks Neutral Sentiment: NVIDIA is broadening its software and AI-model ecosystem. Paid offerings such as AI Enterprise and Mission Control, along with Nemotron open models and partnerships with AI startups, could make earnings less dependent on hardware. However, the articles provide no near-term financial contribution. Negative Sentiment: AI financing concerns are the main pressure. CoreWeave’s debt has reportedly traded at distressed yields, raising questions about whether highly leveraged customers can continue funding data-center expansion. Higher Treasury yields and inflation concerns are also making large AI projects more expensive. CoreWeave financing worries Negative Sentiment: Investors are questioning AI growth expectations. OpenAI’s reported $50 billion revenue run rate was below the roughly $68 billion previously anticipated, prompting concern that AI demand may mature more slowly. Microsoft’s development of custom Maia chips also highlights the risk of customers developing alternatives to NVIDIA GPUs. OpenAI revenue expectations Negative Sentiment: Reported insider selling adds a sentiment overhang. Recent data showed NVIDIA insiders made numerous sales and no open-market purchases over the past six months, though such transactions may reflect planned diversification rather than a change in business outlook.

Výnos dluhopisů CoreWeave se splatností v roce 2032 dosáhl 15 %, což signalizuje rostoucí riziko platební neschopnosti a může zatížit růst i finanční situaci společnosti Nvidia.
Even if you don't hold any bonds in your portfolio, paying attention to the market can offer some very valuable insights about your stock portfolio. Some investors may have found that out the hard way recently.
CoreWeave (CRWV -11.91%), the leading neocloud company backed by Nvidia (NVDA -1.43%), saw its stock pummeled after venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya shared a chart on social media showing its recently issued bonds set to expire in 2032 touched a 15% yield. CoreWeave issued the bonds with a 9.625% coupon in June. Reuters later reported that the 9.75% notes CoreWeave issued in April due in 2031 topped a yield of 16%.
The rising yields on CoreWeave's debt indicate the market believes CoreWeave's risk of default is increasing. Doubts are starting to creep in about whether the neocloud company can generate returns on its invested capital that exceed the cost of capital, especially amid a rising interest rate environment. Other neocloud companies such as Nebius (NBIS -12.18%) face similar pressures.
That's bad news for Nvidia and its investors.

Nvidia's future is tied to CoreWeave and the neoclouds Nvidia's biggest customers may be the big investment-grade tech companies building out robust platforms and their own AI stacks, but the neoclouds present one of its biggest sources of growth going forward. Nvidia made efforts to ensure that when it made strategic investments in CoreWeave and Nebius earlier this year. The chipmaker invested $2 billion in each of the neoclouds. As such, any decline in their stock prices has an immediate impact on Nvidia's balance sheet.
Nvidia also signed an agreement with CoreWeave last year to buy any unused capacity from CoreWeave through 2032. While Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says he doesn't think the company will have to step in, it's still a liability that hangs over the company. CoreWeave cites its $104 billion backlog of contracted revenue as a defense against the need for a backstop. Management says that's more than enough to cover its debt obligations.

NASDAQ · As of 4:00 PM ET 10/16/26
Most importantly for Nvidia, the neocloud companies are dedicated to building with Nvidia. Nvidia's strategic investments and willingness to help finance purchases are key reasons. But if the rising cost of capital catches up with the neoclouds before they can deliver returns, a key driver of Nvidia's sales growth could become a massive drag.
While the hyperscalers have much deeper pockets, they're all looking to add more of their own custom-designed AI accelerators, or XPUs, to their data centers instead of Nvidia GPUs. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has said that using its Trainium chips saves it tens of billions in capital expenditures every year. Alphabet's Google Cloud CEO noted that the payback period for its custom TPUs is less than half that of its average server. Microsoft recently indicated plans to expand the use of its Maia chips for inference starting next year. In short, Nvidia can't rely on its largest customers to drive sales growth, even as they spend more on building AI data centers.
What it means for Nvidia investors Nvidia is unlikely to let CoreWeave or its other neocloud partners fail. But any signs of failure for the businesses will put pressure on its finances and growth.
Nvidia could end up lending CoreWeave more money through its financing arm. However, Nvidia's plans to finance up to $500 billion in AI build-outs have faced objections from its banking partners over the residual value of its GPUs. The chips Nvidia sells to its partners are used as collateral for the debt, so if they retain less value than Nvidia claims, Nvidia will have to cover more of the default risk itself.

The chipmaker is reportedly in talks with insurance companies about offloading some of the liability. Either way, it's a drag on Nvidia's finances in order to keep growing its sales. What's more, the bond market is saying those loans may be riskier than Nvidia originally thought.
That risk will fall to Nvidia by extension. The good news for investors is that the market already appears to be pricing in the risk of such financial pressure. Investors currently pay just 23 times forward earnings expectations for the stock, which is a low price for a company that just grew its bottom line by 126% year over year. The bond market just showed exactly why investors probably shouldn't be willing to pay more than that, though.

Nvidia (NVDA -1.43%) has made investors significantly richer over the past four years, turning a $10,000 investment into nearly $179,000 as of this writing.
This massive surge in Nvidia's shares has been fueled by the advent of artificial intelligence (AI). When OpenAI's ChatGPT, introduced publicly in November 2022, became a big hit, companies lined up to buy Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) after it emerged that the semiconductor giant's chips played an instrumental role in training the chatbot.
The AI economy and Nvidia have come a long way since then. AI is now finding its way into several industries, boosting productivity and economic growth. The good news for Nvidia investors is that AI adoption isn't showing any signs of slowing, which explains why the company continues to deliver robust growth even after becoming significantly larger over the past four years.
We will take a closer look at the company's prospects in this article and assess whether investing $10,000 in Nvidia stock over the next five years could be a profitable move.

Nvidia is the world's largest company, but it can become even biggerNvidia's AI-driven surge has made it the world's largest company with a market cap of $5.2 trillion. So, expecting another 20x jump in Nvidia's stock price over the next five years would be quite absurd, as it would put its market cap past $100 trillion. However, that doesn't mean Nvidia stock can't climb higher over the next five years.
NVDA Nvidia$214.13-$3.10 (-1.43%)
NASDAQ · As of 4:00 PM ET 10/16/26
After all, the company is still growing at an impressive pace despite the scale it has achieved. Nvidia's revenue in the first six months of fiscal 2027 (which will end in January 2027) increased by 96% over the same period last year to $177.8 billion. The company expects fiscal Q3 revenue of $108 billion, an 89% jump from the year-ago period.
Analysts expect a 91% spike in Nvidia's revenue for fiscal 2027 to $411.6 billion. Meanwhile, earnings per share are expected to almost double in fiscal 2027 to $9.31. Importantly, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is confident that the company's growth will continue unabated next year. He recently noted at a conference that the number of chips the company sells will double in 2027, according to CNBC.
Huang added that continued investments in AI infrastructure will drive this incredible growth, as companies and governments look to make the most of the technology's benefits. For example, the World Economic Forum noted earlier this year that AI could increase labor productivity by 1.5% to 3% over the next decade, citing the chief economist of consulting giant EY.
Moreover, investors will do well to note that AI is moving beyond data centers into real-world applications, such as robots and cars. Known as physical AI, Nvidia is pushing into this niche where machines can make complex decisions on their own. From performing precision-related tasks such as threading needles in surgical wards to operating on a conveyor belt, Nvidia is moving into a new frontier that could supercharge its long-term growth.
Nvidia's physical AI offerings are already being used by the likes of Amazon and Japan's national AI venture, and I won't be surprised to see the tech giant pulling in more customers. That's because the physical AI market's revenue is expected to grow to 430 billion euros by 2030, suggesting this niche could move the needle significantly for Nvidia over the next five years.
Throw in the $3 trillion to $4 trillion revenue opportunity that Nvidia sees in the AI infrastructure market in 2030, and it is easy to see why analysts have become extremely bullish about its growth prospects through fiscal 2029 (which will end in January 2029).
NVDA Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts
According to the above chart, Nvidia's revenue could increase by 68% in fiscal 2028, which is almost in line with the company's guidance of 70% growth. That's expected to be followed by a 30% increase in fiscal 2029 to $900 billion. There is a solid chance Nvidia will maintain strong growth in fiscal years 2030 and 2031 as well, which could set the stock up for further gains.
The stock can still deliver impressive gainsLet's assume Nvidia's top line increases by even 10% in fiscal 2030 and 2031 (which will end in January 2031), its top line could reach $1.09 trillion in 2030 (given that fiscal 2031 will coincide with the majority of calendar 2030).
Now, this AI stock trades at 18 times sales. Assuming Nvidia trades at half of this sales multiple after five years, its market cap could jump to $9.8 trillion (based on the $1.09 trillion revenue estimate). That implies a potential upside of 88% from current levels. So, a $10,000 investment in this semiconductor stock will be worth more than $18,800 by 2030.
However, that could be a conservative estimate, as Nvidia could grow faster and command a premium valuation after five years. That's why investors can still consider buying this AI bellwether, as it has the potential to make investors richer owing to emerging niches within the AI ecosystem.
Akcie společnosti Nvidia v listopadu 2025 zaznamenaly jediný záporný listopadový výsledek tohoto desetiletí, když klesly o 13 %. Další vývoj závisí na růstu cloudových tržeb hyperscalerů a jejich výdajích na AI.
Nvidia's (NVDA -1.43%) rapid ascent to the world's most valuable enterprise might be unlike anything the market has ever seen. In the past five years, its share price has produced an incredible 899% gain (as of Oct. 15). With that return, a $10,000 investment would be worth $100,000 today.
The driver of this has been, unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence (AI). Nvidia's graphics processing units are the leading chips for training and running AI models. And these hardware devices are a hot commodity among the company's customers. Nvidia's data center revenue soared 117% year over year to $89 billion last fiscal quarter (Q2 2027 ended July 26).
A burgeoning industry position in the middle of a generational technology shift is an easy sell to investors right now. History says this AI stock tends to perform well in November, so maybe now is a good time to buy shares. But there's one thing that could break that pattern of positive returns.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
November 2025 was the only negative return This decade, Nvidia has been a compelling portfolio addition in November. In November 2020, shares were up 7%. In November 2021 and 2022, they jumped more than 25%. November 2023 saw a 15% increase, followed by a more muted 4% gain in November 2024.
The bears finally cheered last year. During the 11th month of 2025, Nvidia stock dipped 13%.
Nvidia optimists will take the average return of 13% and conclude that the share price will rise by that much this November. On the other hand, the naysayers will point to the clear deterioration in the stock's monthly performance in recent years. They'll assume shares are set to fall in November.
Investors shouldn't jump to any conclusions, however. The macroeconomic backdrop, as well as industry conditions, seem to have been anything but stable. Then there's market sentiment, which is constantly shifting based on how the investment community is feeling at any particular moment. November could bring anything.

Hyperscalers are Nvidia's key demand driver Let's still assume that there's a higher probability that Nvidia posts a positive return compared to a loss in November. Instead of taking a victory lap, consider what could break that pattern of upbeat results. In my view, it comes down to one thing.
Nvidia's most important customer cohort contains the five big hyperscalers. Combined, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Oracle, as well as other hyperscalers, contributed $49 billion to data center segment sales, which as mentioned, totaled $89 billion in the most recent fiscal quarter. These customers are spending tremendous sums of capital to build AI-related technical infrastructure.
The amount of money they allocate to Nvidia products and services depends on how much momentum their businesses have. Specifically, we've seen cloud revenue accelerate for Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in recent quarters. Hyperscaler backlogs have exploded, measured cumulatively at more than $2 trillion.
That's an immediate demand signal that helps to alleviate investor concerns about Nvidia's own business strength. Four of the top five hyperscalers will report their third-quarter financial results in the next two weeks. Investors should continue to pay close attention to numbers and commentary related to how their cloud segments perform.
The logic is straightforward. Slower cloud growth gives hyperscalers less reason to keep expanding capital expenditures (capex) at the current pace. And any cuts to forecast capex will negatively impact Nvidia's data center business. Furthermore, market sentiment might plummet.
If the growth decelerates in Q3, it's not exactly a reason to panic. That doesn't automatically start a trend. And the view is that AI is still in the early innings. However, a slowdown could drive fears that the AI boom is starting to cool. That could pressure Nvidia shares.
Martin Shkreli označil soukromé startupy Neurofos, Opticore a Lumi za možné konkurenty společnosti NVIDIA v oblasti optických čipů pro AI, zároveň však upozornil na problémy s nelinearitou a pamětí.
Martin Shkreli just named three private startups he believes could threaten Nvidia's dominance in AI chips, and his reasoning involves a technology that computes at the speed of light. The catch is that Nvidia may already be one step ahead.
Martin Shkreli thinks the next serious challenge to NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) could run on light. On an All-In podcast episode released October 12, 2026, the former hedge fund manager named three private startups building optical chips and said their designs “would run circles around what Nvidia does.” The comment comes during a rough stretch for the stock. Nvidia shares fell 6.39% over the past week as chip stocks slid in a global tech rout on AI funding worries.
What Shkreli Said About Photonic Chips
Shkreli told the hosts he is exploring the field himself. “So we’re investigating, maybe we’ll start a company or something like that. But there are a couple of startups like Neurofos, Opticore, Lumi that want to make these photonic matmul cores which would run circles around what Nvidia does. Now of course that’s not the whole story. There are a lot of details and nonlinearity and storage.” He said the optical calculations “happen in instant time.”
Neurofos, Opticore and Lumi are private, so public investors have no direct way to own them and no disclosed financials to evaluate.
How Photonic Computing Works in Plain English
AI models mostly run on matrix multiplication (“matmul”): multiplying enormous grids of numbers over and over. A GPU does that math by pushing electrons through billions of transistors, which burns power and throws off heat. A photonic chip encodes numbers in beams of light and lets them interact as they pass through optical components, so the answer comes out as the light crosses the chip. That gives you the speed and energy appeal.
Shkreli’s cautions carry real weight. Neural networks also need nonlinear steps between multiplications (functions that decide which signals pass forward), and light handles those poorly. Models also need memory to hold their weights and data, and that storage remains electronic. Any photonic core still needs conventional silicon wrapped around it.
Nvidia Is Already Wiring Light Into Its Racks
Any competition faces a company at full speed. In Q2 FY2027, Nvidia reported revenue of $96.22 billion, up 105.8% year over year, with Data Center revenue of $89.02 billion, according to its earnings release filed with the SEC. Data Center Networking alone brought in $40.313 billion, up 138%.
Nvidia is also pulling optics into its own roadmap. It is shipping Spectrum-6 switch systems supporting pluggable and co-packaged optics, collaborating on silicon photonics with Marvell (NASDAQ:MRVL), and has signed multi-year optics agreements with Coherent (NYSE:COHR), Corning (NYSE:GLW) and Lumentum (NASDAQ:LITE). Today those optics move data between chips. The startups Shkreli named want light to do the math itself, which is a harder engineering problem. They would also have to compete with CUDA, the software platform that runs under Nvidia’s hardware. Chief executive Jensen Huang summed up the demand picture last quarter: “Now, compute is revenue.”
Shkreli’s Short on Quantum Computing
The hosts also asked about Shkreli’s “hatred for quantum” and what they called his “raging short that may or may not be winning.” The episode description frames his view as why quantum computing is a one-trick business.
On his background, Shkreli said he started at 16 at Jim Cramer’s hedge fund, said Cramer made 23% a year net of fees, and later moved to a Tiger Cub fund. When the hosts noted that he bought a drug and raised its price, he answered “Yes.” The episode also covered what prison taught him.
What Nvidia Investors Should Track Next
Nvidia carries a market cap of about $5.17 trillion and a P/E of 44. Shares closed at $214.63, up 15.35% year to date. Management guided Q3 revenue to $108.0 billion +/- 2% and disclosed supply commitments of $279 billion, mostly tied to memory for Vera Rubin.
Photonic matmul chips belong on the long-term radar. What matters near term is whether any of these startups shows benchmarks on full AI models, lands a hyperscaler customer, or solves the nonlinearity and memory problems Shkreli pointed out. Until that happens, the bigger questions for Nvidia holders are AI financing concerns and the Q3 report. The traits that showed up early in past tech monsters are the same ones we cataloged in a free playbook on spotting the next Nvidia.

Akcie společnosti Nvidia se obchodují za 23násobek očekávaného zisku, nejníže mezi „Sedmi statečnými“, a společnost letos očekává tržby z procesorů CPU ve výši 20 mld. USD.
The "Magnificent Seven" stocks have powered the S&P 500 higher over the past several years, thanks to their leadership in the technology space and, in many cases, their prominence in the high-potential area of artificial intelligence (AI). These companies operate across a range of specialty areas, from smartphones to social media, and each dominates its field -- and has established a strong track record of revenue growth over time.
You would expect such stocks to be particularly expensive after their gains in recent years. But that isn't the case. In fact, one stands out as a once-in-a-decade buying opportunity, as the cheapest of the "Magnificent Seven," and it's also close to its own valuation low. This AI stock has soared more than 900% over the past five years and is well-positioned for further gains as the AI story continues to unfold. Let's check out this surprisingly cheap stock to buy now, before the price goes up.
Image source: Getty Images.
Seven well-known tech giantsSo, first, let's take a quick look at the "Magnificent Seven." Most of us are probably familiar with these names, as they have built their reputations and businesses over time, and in most cases, their products are in the public eye. These companies are: Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia (NVDA -1.43%), and Tesla.
Investors have rushed to get in on these stocks in recent years to bet on the AI story and technology in general. At times, valuations reached high levels, but today, many of them, in spite of the positive stock performance, are trading at reasonable prices. This is as earnings have also taken off.
And the best bargain of the bunch just so happens to be the biggest AI winner of all, at least so far, and that's Nvidia. The company trades for 23x forward earnings estimates, making it even cheaper than Meta, a stock that's been among the cheapest of the "Magnificent Seven" in recent years.
META PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts
Now, here's why I think such levels won't last and that this is a once-in-a-decade buying opportunity. We'll start by talking about the business Nvidia has built. The company is known for its graphics processing units (GPUs), the chips needed for essential AI tasks like the training of models. The GPU and Nvidia's related products and services have generated enormous earnings growth, with revenue and profit each climbing in the double and triple digits quarter after quarter. In the latest period, they reached $96 billion and $59 billion, respectively.
Why customers like the fastest GPUsCustomers rush to Nvidia because its GPUs are the fastest, and this is a major plus -- speed equals efficiency and over time may lower costs. Nvidia has expanded its repertoire as the AI boom has evolved, positioning itself to win in the upcoming phases of growth, and, with this in mind, it recently made a key move.
NVDA Nvidia$214.13-$3.10 (-1.43%)
NASDAQ · As of 4:00 PM ET 10/16/26
Nvidia has entered the stand-alone central processing unit (CPU) market as CPUs are seen as the key chips powering agentic AI. This involves AI handling real problems and taking multi-step actions, and it's viewed as a big growth driver in the coming years. Nvidia says the stand-alone CPU market is worth $200 billion, and the company aims to become a leader.
So, Nvidia's explosive growth in the early stages of the AI boom may not be the end of the story. The company could be heading for another big wave of growth as agentic AI use gathers momentum. Nvidia is in the process of rolling out its first CPUs and expects $20 billion in revenue from them this year alone. This offers us reason to be optimistic about what's ahead.
While Nvidia's explosive growth may keep its valuation somewhat in check, I still see today's level as exceptionally cheap -- and possibly a once-in-a-decade opportunity for growth investors looking for a long-term AI victory.
Technologické akcie během jediného dne ztratily přes 1 bilion USD; index Nasdaq 100 klesl o 2,5 %. Šéf společnosti Nvidia Jensen Huang přesto očekává pokračující růst AI.
Tech stocks shed over a trillion dollars in a single session while oil and Treasury yields climbed, yet Nvidia's CEO stood in Berlin projecting calm certainty about AI's future. Whether his confidence addresses the forces that actually triggered the selloff…
Jensen Huang, chief executive of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction), spent Friday, October 16, 2026, touring Europe. At an event in Berlin, he gave investors a one-line answer to a rough session: “All of this is going to pass, and the reason for that is very simple.”
The interview was published after the close, and the time he spoke was not disclosed, so his remarks should be read as made during the decline. Tech stocks lost more than a trillion dollars in value on the same day oil hit a five-month high.
The Nasdaq 100 fell 2.5% to 29,187.55, which left it about 7% below its latest all-time high. The S&P 500 lost 1.1%, and the Philadelphia semiconductor index dropped 3.8% for its eighth straight losing day, its longest such streak since 2008.
Nvidia slid only 1.43% to $214.13 and kept a market value of $5.17 trillion. It then rose 0.21% after hours to $214.57. What you need to decide is whether Huang’s confidence speaks to the forces that actually caused the selling.
Huang Offered Conviction but No New Numbers
Huang added: “It’s going to be transformative. It’s going to impact in a very positive way every single industry and every single country. There’s no question it will continue, and we’re at the beginning of that.” He argued that the technology’s benefits will soon outweigh investors’ concerns.
He made no new commitments. Huang announced no orders, no revised guidance, and no customer, so his comments reflect the view of an executive who stands to gain the most from continued AI spending.
His view still matters because he can see order books that outsiders cannot. On the August earnings call, he said, “At this moment, we have supply for 70%… Our demand is much higher than that.”
Investors Kept Nvidia and Sold Riskier Chip Names
AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) fell 5.95%, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) lost 5.79%, Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) dropped 5.63%, and Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) gave up 4.52%.
When investors cut risk, they held on to the company with the largest profits. Nvidia’s fiscal second-quarter revenue was $96.22 billion, and its net margin was 55.6%.
Its size works against it too. At 43 times trailing earnings, much of the long-term story is already priced in, and a company this large pulls major indexes down whenever it falls.
Huang Answered a Different Question Than the Market Asked
The selling came through oil and interest rates. West Texas Intermediate crude reached $101.91 a barrel on October 14, 2026, and the 10-year Treasury yield stood at 5.10% on October 15.
Higher yields raise the discount rate, the rate investors use to value future profits, and that hits highly valued growth stocks first. Huang’s argument is about the technology, so it offers little protection if oil keeps rising and rates follow.
Funding is the other risk. Worries about AI funding had already sent chip stocks lower before October 16, and a spending cycle can disappoint even when the technology delivers. Management cited expected top-five hyperscaler capital spending of $1.3 trillion in 2027, and any cut to that figure would matter more than any interview (we profiled seven suppliers riding that same expansion, from power to cooling, in a free report you can grab here).
What Nvidia’s Relative Strength Signals Before the November Earnings Report
Nvidia held up better than its peers. It closed about 12% below its 52-week high of $243.37 and well above its low of $164.27. The way investors sorted the chip group shows Nvidia is the AI stock they trust most under pressure.
Huang is likely right about demand, although the timing of a recovery depends on oil and yields that he cannot control. Expect more swings while the chip losing run continues.
The earnings report expected November 18 is the test. Management guided to fiscal third-quarter revenue of $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, with gross margin near 74.0%.
If revenue comes in below that range, or management lowers its forecast of about 70% growth for fiscal 2028, Huang’s prediction that the decline will pass will have been wrong, and the bullish case for the stock weakens with it.

Akcie společnosti Nvidia po zveřejnění údajů o tržbách OpenAI klesly o 4 %, což snížilo její tržní kapitalizaci o 200 miliard USD. OpenAI uvedla anualizované tržby ve výši 50 miliard USD, tedy o 18 miliard USD méně, než se očekávalo.
OpenAI changed the world four years ago when it launched its artificial intelligence (AI) model, ChatGPT, sparking an AI revolution that led to the emergence of multiple competing models. It recently postponed its plans to go public, which means investors don't have access to its financial data beyond what it chooses to disclose. Since it's not a public company, its growth rates aren't directly relevant to investors, but many still track them to gauge the pace of AI development more broadly.
For example, if companies like OpenAI and rival Anthropic, the maker of the Claude AI model, are growing rapidly, they'll likely need more data center processing power. That would be great news for Nvidia (NVDA -1.43%), which supplies a large fraction of the processors that power data centers.

Conversely, if it looks like demand for AI accelerator chips is waning, the market sours on Nvidia, and that's what happened last week. OpenAI said it had a $50 billion revenue run rate, $18 billion less than the figure that was previously circulating.
Several AI stocks tanked on the news, including Nvidia, which is down 4% since the news came out. That might not sound like a lot, but for a $5 trillion company, it translates into $200 billion. Should retail investors view this as a buying opportunity?
Nvidia isn't the only AI chipmaker around, but its chips are critical providers of power for the high-level inference and reasoning that support AI functions. That means all large models require Nvidia chips and, increasingly, full Nvidia compute systems. It recently launched its latest platform, Vera Rubin, which combines Rubin graphics processing units (GPUs), Vera central processing units (CPUs), large quantities of high bandwidth memory, and other hardware to deliver high processing power.
NVDA Nvidia$214.13-$3.10 (-1.43%)
NASDAQ · As of 4:00 PM ET 10/16/26
The company's revenue growth has recently accelerated, with the top line more than doubling year over year in its fiscal 2027 second quarter (which ended July 26). Management already provided fiscal 2028 guidance for 70% growth, which would be a serious feat given how large the company already is.
Is Nvidia a bargain right now?
That 4% drop doesn't on its own create an incredible buying opportunity. However, it might be a good time to buy the stock if you've been planning to anyway.
The more pressing concern is what the market is actually worried about: whether OpenAI's news is actually bad news for Nvidia. There's some risk there that investors should keep in mind.
Nvidia stock is well-priced right now, trading at less than 14 times forward one-year earnings. I wouldn't make it the central component of your portfolio, but Nvidia looks like a buy right now.
Analytik společnosti Wedbush Dan Ives ponechal pro Nvidia doporučení „překonat trh“ a cílovou cenu 300 USD, přestože akcie během předchozích dvou seancí klesly zhruba o 5 %.
after the chipmaker's recent retreat, viewing the pullback as a possible entry point rather than a warning sign.
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives retained his Outperform rating and $300 price target, viewing the latest share-price weakness as a potential entry point.
Shares slipped roughly 5% over the previous two sessions as semiconductor stocks came under pressure. Investor concerns include borrowing costs and the expense of financing new AI data-center capacity.
Ives argues that spending remains supported by contracts and cash generation at major cloud providers. Nvidia's preliminary fiscal 2028 outlook points to revenue growth of about 70%, with restricted supply expected to remain a bottleneck.
The analyst's thesis also encompasses Nvidia's wider technology portfolio. Networking equipment, integrated computing systems and CUDA software work alongside its graphics processors, giving the company exposure to several parts of AI infrastructure. Ives expects investment to extend beyond training models toward reasoning applications, autonomous agents and robotics, potentially creating additional demand for computing capacity.
Navan nasadil NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super VL pro více produkčních cestovních AI agentů; model v interním hodnocení dosáhl nejnižší latence a nejvyššího celkového výkonu.
Fine-tuned NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super VL delivered strongest overall performance based on Navan’s internal evaluation with lowest latency and significant efficiency
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Navan (NASDAQ: NAVN), the global AI-powered business travel and expense platform, today announced that NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Super VL is now powering several of its AI travel agents in production. Just three weeks after receiving early access and beginning its work with NVIDIA, Navan trained and deployed the model.
The deployment is the latest example of Navan’s open-model strategy: evaluating models for specific travel tasks, adapting them with Navan’s travel expertise, and self-hosting them to maintain control over performance, cost, and reliability.
Before deployment, Navan internally evaluated Nemotron 3.5 Super VL against its self-hosted production baseline and other models using consistent prompts, tools, travel scenarios and criteria. After fine-tuning with NVIDIA NeMo AutoModel VLM LoRA training recipe, Nemotron 3.5 Super VL delivered the strongest overall performance, beating or tying every competing model on six of seven measures, including having the lowest latency. The model is now in production and powering customer conversations at a lower cost while delivering greater value to Navan users.
“Building reliable agentic travel systems involves much more than choosing a model, but continuously iterating to improve and solve real-world problems,” said Ilan Twig, co-founder and CTO of Navan. “We’re grateful to NVIDIA for early access to Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, which shows how open models can help us move faster, maintain control, and deliver meaningful value without compromising quality.”
Navan combines open and closed models to build AI travel agents that understand what travelers want, follow policies, and use the right tools to get the job done.

Analytici očekávají, že tržby NVIDIA ve fiskálním roce 2028 vzrostou o 68 % na 692,2 miliardy USD, zatímco konsenzuální cílová cena 328,72 USD znamená potenciál růstu 47,7 %.
NVIDIA's stock has pulled back over the past week, but analysts keep raising their estimates and the company keeps beating them. Whether an 80% gain is achievable by 2027 depends on a few catalysts falling into place at exactly the…
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) sells complete AI factories. That means GPUs, Vera CPUs, NVLink, InfiniBand and Spectrum-X networking, all tied together by CUDA software.
CEO Jensen Huang described where things stand on the August earnings call: “AI has reached its inflection point. It’s doing useful work. Its tokens are productive and profitable. Now, compute is revenue.”
Shares trade at $222.58. That’s up 19.63% year to date and 928.03% over five years. A 6.96% drop over the past week gives the stock a lower starting point. Here’s what NVIDIA needs to reach $400 by the end of 2027.
Wall Street Already Sees Nearly 48% Upside
The consensus price target is $328.72, which means 47.7% upside. Analysts are close to unanimous, with 10 Strong Buy and 49 Buy ratings against a single Sell.
Analysts expect fiscal 2028 revenue of $692.2 billion, up from $411.7 billion this year, which would be 68% growth. The EPS estimate of $15.9146 means 71% growth. Ninety days ago, the same estimate was $12.7102. Over the past 30 days, analysts made 46 upward revisions and zero downward.
NVIDIA has also beat EPS estimates for five consecutive quarters, most recently posting $2.22 against a $2.0887 estimate. Actual results have a habit of exceeding forecasts.
Path to $400 Per Share: Let’s Do the Math
NVIDIA trades at 14x fiscal 2028 earnings. That fiscal year runs through January 2028. At $400, the multiple would rise to 25x, only slightly above the S&P 500’s 21-23x forward range, for a company expected to grow earnings 71%. Getting there requires a gain of about 80%.
What Could Push NVIDIA to $400?
Vera Rubin ramp: Management expects “the fastest product ramp in NVIDIA’s history.” Revenue per gigawatt rises to $40 billion with Rubin, up from $25 billion for Blackwell.
Hyperscaler spending: Capital spending by the top five hyperscalers is expected to rise from nearly $800 billion in 2026 to $1.3 trillion in 2027.
Unmet demand: Guidance calls for approximately 70% fiscal 2028 growth, and that guidance is limited by supply. Huang said, “We have supply for 70%. Our demand is much higher than that.”
New markets: CPU revenue is expected to more than double in fiscal 2028. Sovereign AI revenue more than tripled year over year.
Buybacks: Roughly $99 billion remains under the repurchase authorization.
That hyperscaler capex has to be spent on more than GPUs. We rounded up seven suppliers powering, cooling, and networking the AI expansion in a free report here.
These challenges are real. China data center revenue is left out from guidance. Memory costs should push gross margins down to 71% to 72% in Q4. A beta of 2.216 means a weak market would hit the stock hard.
NVIDIA’s History Says an 80% Gain Is Possible
Since 2000, NVIDIA has gained more than 80% in 10 different calendar years. Shares rose 239% in 2023, 171% in 2024, 125% in 2021 and 227% in 2016.
With a market cap of about $5.37 trillion, repeating those returns gets harder. Still, the stock has made moves this large many times before.
Is $400 Realistic? Here’s My Take
Reaching $400 means an 80% gain. Analysts project nearly 48% upside, estimates keep rising, and NVIDIA keeps beating them.
If Vera Rubin ramps as planned, supply matches up with demand and the market holds up, $400 would put NVIDIA at just 25x forward earnings. Keep an eye on gross margins and China policy. Annual gains like this won’t happen every year, but NVIDIA could follow this path to outsized returns in 2027.

Tchaj-wan podpořil plán na průmyslový park v Texasu v hodnotě až 4 mld. USD pro dodavatele TSMC a výrobce AI serverů; Nvidia ani TSMC se k účasti nezavázaly.
Jensen Huang admits Nvidia can only fill about 70% of current demand, and Taiwan's government just backed a multibillion-dollar bet that moving suppliers to Texas soil changes that equation for both Nvidia and TSMC.
Supply is the tightest constraint on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction). On its August 26, 2026 earnings call, CEO Jensen Huang said, “our entire supply chain is challenged,” and Taiwan now wants to move part of that chain to Texas.
In remarks reported October 16, 2026, Taiwan’s economics minister, Kung Ming-hsin, spoke. He said the government supports a plan for U.S. industrial parks, starting in Texas, with the first complex costing up to $4 billion. The parks target smaller suppliers that serve Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) and AI server assemblers such as Foxconn, placing them near Nvidia and other data center hardware makers.
The two names dropped on October 15, 2026, during a wider tech selloff over AI funding worries. Nvidia closed at $217.23, down 1.84%, and TSMC’s U.S. shares closed at $422.25, down 1.80%.
If you own either stock, the question is whether a supplier park matters to companies this large. It matters more to TSMC’s U.S. ecosystem than to Nvidia’s earnings.
What Taiwan Has Committed The plan is a statement of intent, backed by government support. The Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association, an industry group, is expected to raise the money, and the government will offer loan guarantees, visas, and land access.
Kung Ming-hsin put each site’s estimated cost at $2 billion to $4 billion, and the government wants more than one U.S. location but has not set a number. Nvidia, TSMC and Foxconn have made no commitment to the parks, and no participating suppliers, schedule or customer contracts were named.
What Nvidia Gains From Local Suppliers AI servers rely on smaller makers of power supplies, cooling systems, circuit boards, connectors and chassis. Placing them near U.S. assembly cuts shipping time and tariff exposure, which also helps Nvidia’s standing in Washington (we profiled seven of these non-chip AI infrastructure suppliers, from power to cooling, in a free report you can grab here).
One site is small, with $96.22 billion in quarterly revenue and $279 billion in supply commitments. U.S. production usually costs more, although forecast gross margin of about 74% suggests Nvidia has room to pass those costs to customers.
Taiwan also addressed AI hardware policy. Shipping restricted AI hardware to mainland China will become “a criminal offense under the Foreign Trade Act.” That lowers the risk of leakage, and Nvidia’s guidance already excludes Data Center compute revenue from China.
Why TSMC Sits Closer to the Buildout TSMC’s planned U.S. investment reached $265 billion after it added $100 billion for Arizona in July. A Texas supplier park is small beside that, but it puts parts makers between the Arizona fabs and the server assemblers.
TSMC is also studying Texas. Describing capacity options outside Arizona on its October 15, 2026 call, management said, “And Texas is one,” and added that teams are evaluating options, with no investment announced.
Permitting, U.S. labor costs, and whether enough suppliers sign up are all unresolved. Larger Taiwanese firms are already moving on their own. Quanta Computer won approval to spend $973 million on server assembly in Tennessee, and Wistron won approval for $146 million to upgrade a Texas plant.
Taiwan’s semiconductor exports hit a record $87.22 billion in September, up 60.9% from a year earlier, so the demand exists now. The parks assume it holds up long enough to cover higher U.S. costs.
How Texas Supplier Parks Could Shape the Outlook for Nvidia and TSMC Supply remains the main limit on Nvidia’s growth. Huang said the company has supply for about 70% of demand, so added U.S. capacity helps marginally.
TSMC has more direct exposure to the reshoring theme, because it runs the fabs a Texas cluster would serve. Its $1.95 trillion market value, against Nvidia’s $5.25 trillion, also gives local suppliers more weight in its story.
The signal to check is an announcement naming the first suppliers in a Texas park, along with a confirmed site and schedule. Until then, Kung Ming-hsin’s $4 billion figure is only an upper estimate for one site.

Nvidia's Jensen Huang draws a crowd wherever he goes.
In an old converted church in West London on Wednesday night, Huang stood on a pop-up stage in front of politicians, investors, tech execs and journalists, announcing the chip giant was taking stakes in five U.K. startups.
"We're not your largest investor, but we are your best investor," he proclaimed. "I'm gonna invest in you, I'm gonna invest in you," he shouted, pointing at the founders. His appearance in London was part of a European tour ahead of Nvidia's GTC event in Berlin next week.
Earlier, he'd searched out U.K. neocloud Nscale CEO Josh Payne in the crowd, declaring, "last year you were zero."
"Now look at them," he said. "We invested in you, I attracted a whole bunch of investors to you." Nscale could be the most valuable British company in a decade, Huang said to cheers from the crowd.
The Nvidia boss certainly doesn't lack for confidence.
Whiskey with BurnhamThe warm reception Huang regularly receives is a sign of just how much sway he holds in the AI industry.
Nvidia has a near monopoly over the most powerful AI chips and Huang courts tech execs and world leaders with ease. He's a near constant presence at U.S. President Donald Trump's side at state dinners and visits.
In London, after the pomp and ceremony of Huang's speech, he emerged around 40 minutes late to a media huddle outside the front of the church.
"The Prime Minister [Andy Burnham] and I had a nice whiskey together. He's a whiskey man," he told reporters. Later, Huang said he'd be meeting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz "in a couple of days."
Huang spoke to journalists for nearly an hour that evening — a fair effort considering he'd only eaten a "quarter of a quarter" of a sandwich that day — dishing out praise and criticism to Europe with a bombastic assuredness.
"Nothing pains me more, frankly, than to see one of the most technologically advanced countries to be left so far behind in technology," he said, referring to Germany.
And the U.K. didn't escape scot-free. "If you tell an entrepreneur there's one in a million chance they can succeed, that entrepreneur says, 'So you're telling me there's a chance?' But in the UK, somehow there's 999,000... reasons to fail."
Startup investmentsThe CEO was also bullish on Europe's chances of succeeding with AI, not least, presumably, because Nvidia now has stakes in so many of the region's most promising startups.
On Wednesday those lucky startups were biotechs Prima Mente and Boltz, project delivery platform Foresight, algorithm discovery startup Hiverge and quantum company Riverlane. Those companies, alongside others in the U.K. that Nvidia isn't naming, will be the recipients of $1.16 billion of Nvidia cash.
Earlier in the week the chip giant announced it was taking stakes in a number of French startups.
It's all part of a major push by Nvidia to build out holdings across the AI stack. Among the recipients of funding from Nvidia have been the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic, Intel and XAI.
The chip giant has participated in 116 investment rounds in 2026 so far, according to Dealroom, up from just 12 in 2022.

NVIDIA RTX Spark laptops are available today from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI — with additional systems to follow — bringing RTX acceleration and NVIDIA’s full-stack AI platform to slim, premium Windows PCs for creation, gaming and local AI.RTX Spark delivers up to 1 petaflop of AI compute and up to 128GB of unified memory — enabling AI developers, creators and gamers to run frontier AI models locally, render 90GB+ 3D scenes and play AAA games at 1440p at over 100 frames per second, all on a slim, portable device.Day-one support across local AI agents, creative apps and major games helps users put RTX Spark to work immediately — from editing with Adobe Photoshop and Premiere to running Hermes and OpenClaw agents and playing titles including Gears of War: E-Day and NBA 2K27 with NVIDIA DLSS 5.
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVIDIA today announced the availability of NVIDIA RTX Spark™ laptops, bringing together RTX graphics and NVIDIA’s full-stack AI platform in slim, premium Windows PCs for accelerated creation, immersive gaming and powerful local AI — rolling out from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI.
Combining decades of NVIDIA innovation into a single superchip, RTX Spark delivers up to 128GB of unified memory and 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance to run large language models and AI agents locally. On a single device, creators, developers and gamers can move seamlessly between their everyday workflows and emerging AI agents on the familiar Windows platform.
“RTX Spark brings the power of NVIDIA AI, RTX graphics and CUDA together with Microsoft Windows in one PC for creating, gaming and running personal AI agents,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Together with Microsoft and our PC industry partners, we’re bringing creators, developers and gamers a new generation of Windows PC, built for the work they do today and the personal AI agents they’ll work with next.”
“We’re building Windows to be the platform for hybrid intelligence, where AI can run locally when it makes sense and reach the cloud when needed,” said Yusuf Mehdi, executive vice president at Microsoft. “Windows PCs powered by RTX Spark unlock powerful new local compute for creators and developers, expanding what they can create, build and run on Windows.”
A New Beginning for Windows PCs
RTX Spark brings NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform to a new generation of portable Windows PCs.
At its foundation is a single superchip combining an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU and an NVIDIA Grace CPU with up to 128GB of unified memory and up to 1 petaflop of FP4 AI performance. That shared memory allows demanding creative projects and local AI models to run simultaneously and efficiently. MediaTek collaborated with NVIDIA on the custom CPU design, contributing to its best-in-class power efficiency, performance and connectivity.
All of NVIDIA’s platform innovation comes together in RTX Spark — NVIDIA CUDA®, DLSS, OptiX™, Reflex, G-SYNC®, TensorRT™ and hardware-accelerated video — in a device that fits in a messenger bag. Slim, efficient designs and all-day battery life bring these capabilities wherever users create, develop and play.
From Tool to Teammate
RTX Spark gives users the capabilities to deploy local AI agents that turn the PC from a tool into an everyday teammate that can complete tasks, generate assets and write code.
Users can put agents to work immediately. Guided setup and easy installers help users get started with agents, including GitHub Copilot, Hermes, OpenClaw, Perplexity, Pi and WorkBuddy, without requiring a command line.
“Personal AI becomes more useful when it can work with your tools and help get things done,” said Dillon Rolnick, CEO at Nous Research, creators of Hermes Agent. “We brought Hermes to RTX Spark so people can put open AI models and agents to work locally on a Windows laptop, with greater control over their data and the freedom to shape AI around their own workflows.”
NVIDIA’s models and tools build on that ecosystem. Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B-A9B 24GB, a 74-billion-parameter model optimized for tool calling and multistep tasks, brings more capable local AI to supported RTX Spark configurations.
The NVIDIA OpenShell™ secure runtime and Microsoft Execution Containers help users control agent permissions, while NVIDIA agent skills let compatible agents work with tools including NVIDIA Broadcast, RTX Remix and Omniverse™ libraries. For example, compatible agents can adjust Broadcast effects during a stream or batch-process recorded clips, all on a local PC.
That experience extends across devices with NVIDIA PAIR, letting RTX Spark serve AI inference to compatible Windows, Linux and macOS computers on a home network while keeping other PCs free for creating and gaming.
Create, Innovate, Play
RTX Spark helps creators move from an idea to finished content wherever they work, with the ability to edit 8K 4:2:2 video and render large 3D scenes up to 90GB, even when unplugged.
With the arrival of RTX Spark, Adobe is enhancing its industry-leading creative applications, including Photoshop, Premiere and Substance 3D, with NVIDIA TensorRT acceleration in AI-editing features. In Premiere, creators can work faster across some of the most intensive parts of post-production, from playback and rendering to effects, color grading and more. Photoshop and Premiere offer native RTX Spark support through beta releases available at launch, with Substance coming soon.
“Creatives are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible across image, video, audio and 3D, and they need tools that can keep up with their ambitions,” said Deepa Subramaniam, vice president of product marketing for creative professionals at Adobe. “By combining NVIDIA’s advanced computing technology with Adobe’s industry-leading creative applications, we’re delivering enhanced experiences that empower creatives to bring their ideas to life with greater power and speed.”
For enhancing recorded content, NVIDIA Broadcast 2.3 lets creators remove background noise from existing recordings and shape their voice with Studio Voice Mic Profiles. Beta RTX Video features enable up to 4K super resolution and 4x frame generation.
In ComfyUI, new RTX Video nodes can turn 15 frames-per-second (fps) AI-generated video into smoother 60 fps footage and convert it to high dynamic range without requiring per-use cloud inference charges.
Code, Test and Deploy With One Machine
As AI shifts software development from writing code to directing agents, work often spans a laptop, a cloud AI model and a cloud virtual machine for testing.
RTX Spark brings coding, testing and prototyping onto one machine. Native CUDA support lets developers run models and agents locally, keeping locally processed code and context on their device with a path to deploy across more than 150 million NVIDIA RTX™ AI PCs and NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud. Windows Developer Config streamlines setup, while Windows Subsystem for Linux provides familiar Linux tools used in cloud development.
NVIDIA Skills, an open source GitHub repository, teaches agents to use NVIDIA CUDA-X™ tools and libraries, helping developers build NVIDIA-accelerated apps without CUDA expertise.
NVIDIA and Microsoft have readied developer tools for RTX Spark, including the first PyTorch-CUDA build for Windows on Arm, the first Python build that is native by default, the first native Conda installer, support for 97% of the top 15,000 Python packages, and coding agents such as GitHub Copilot and Pi.
Game Ready With Hundreds of Games
RTX Spark brings immersive gaming to the same portable Windows PC used for creating and developing, with NVIDIA Blackwell RTX graphics enhancing image quality and accelerating performance in supported titles.
Launch support spans single-player adventure and online multiplayer games including Cyberpunk 2077, Fortnite, Gears of War: E-Day, Marvel Rivals, World of Warcraft and NBA 2K27.
NBA 2K27 showcases that immersive experience, using NVIDIA DLSS 5 technology with the 3D-Guided Neural Rendering feature to enhance lighting and material details for greater realism. A new 2x faster AI model, available today, boosts DLSS 5 frame rates by up to 1.4x. NVIDIA’s suite of RTX gaming technologies — DLSS, ray tracing, G-SYNC and Reflex — bring sharper visuals, smoother gameplay and greater responsiveness.
“Bringing the energy of NBA basketball to life means making every detail feel authentic,” said Peter Kavic, senior producer for visual concepts at 2K. “We worked with NVIDIA to bring ‘NBA 2K27’ to RTX Spark, using DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering to deliver richer lighting and boost the visual quality of materials to deliver a jump in photorealism on a new generation of slim laptops and compact desktops.”
Availability
RTX Spark laptops are available globally today from ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft and MSI through their websites and major retailers, starting at $2,599, with a limited-time promotion for new Perplexity users. Pricing and configurations vary by region.
The lineup of RTX Spark laptops includes ASUS ProArt P14 and P16, Dell XPS 16, HP OmniBook Ultra and OmniBook X 14, Lenovo Yoga Pro 9n, Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra, and MSI Prestige N16 Flip AI+ and Prestige N16.

I recently reviewed Nvidia's (NVDA -1.84%) latest quarterly SEC filing, and what I read persuaded me to change my call on the stock. In the recent past, I called Nvidia a buy amid its rapid revenue growth and comparatively low valuation.
Today, as I look more closely at the numbers, I worry more about its near-term future. Amid that concern, I am now switching my call on Nvidia from buy to hold. Here's why.

Nvidia's positive attributes First, making this shift does not mean I have turned on Nvidia. I still see it as an excellent choice for the long term. The company continues to dominate the artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator market and is investing enough into research and development to stay on top of the market and pivot into cutting-edge technologies.
Moreover, it currently trades at just 28 times earnings. Considering the S&P 500's average P/E ratio is 27, that looks like a reasonable valuation for a top company.
Furthermore, Nvidia plans to buy back $235 billion of its stock between now and January 2028. Between its future sales growth and its dwindling outstanding share count, the stock could easily outperform the market over the longer term.
NVDA Nvidia$217.23-$4.07 (-1.84%)
NASDAQ · As of 4:00 PM ET 10/15/26
The challenge with Nvidia A quarter-century ago, the internet industry endured the dot-com bust. A similar event is likely to hit the AI industry at some point. An AI bust would be unlikely to destroy Nvidia, but the company has a key vulnerability that makes its near-term direction less certain.
Buried in Nvidia's latest quarterly filing was the revelation that five companies each make up between 10% and 22% of its accounts receivable balance, for a total of 70%.
Nvidia did not reveal which specific companies they were. Still, one is likely to be OpenAI, a company that's underperforming its financial expectations. Additionally, even better-established hyperscalers like Amazon have borrowed heavily and turned free-cash-flow negative. Those factors could limit its spending over time.
For now, Nvidia's growth remains exceptionally strong. In the first half of its fiscal 2027 (a period that ended July 26), its revenue was $178 billion -- a 96% increase from the prior-year period. Analysts forecast that its growth will remain in the high-double-digit percentages through at least the next fiscal year.
Unfortunately, if one or more of Nvidia's top customers reduce or stop their purchases of its processors, its growth rate could easily slow in the near term -- or its top line could even contract. Since investors have been reluctant to bid its stock price higher despite its relatively low P/E ratio, such a slowdown could make the stock's direction uncertain for a time.
Nvidia stock is likely a hold Nvidia looks more like a hold than a buy when considering the company's high dependence on a small number of customers.
Indeed, with its leadership in AI accelerators, relatively low valuation, and efforts to reduce its share count, the chip stock appears well-positioned to benefit from growth, as the potential downside seems limited.
However, an AI bust, even if it ultimately proves temporary, could bring significant uncertainty to Nvidia stock if those five customers slow their purchases.
Hence, while Nvidia remains in a strong position over the longer term, the risk of near-term revenue growth slowing probably means investors should pause additional stock purchases for now.
Výnos do splatnosti dluhopisů CoreWeave se splatností v roce 2032 vzrostl na rekordních zhruba 14,5 %, zatímco firma má dluh ve výši 35,6 mld. USD a ve druhém čtvrtletí vykázala provozní ztrátu 49 mil. USD.
Lenders are getting nervous about CoreWeave (CRWV +5.94%), a cloud company that rents out artificial intelligence (AI) chips made by Nvidia (NVDA -1.84%). In June, CoreWeave sold $1.25 billion in unsecured notes due 2032 at face value, with a 9.625% coupon. On Tuesday, Oct. 13, the yield on these notes reportedly reached almost 15% before ending at a record of around 14.5%.
A bond's yield climbs when the price drops. Put another way, bond buyers now want much more to lend to CoreWeave than they did four months ago.
The stock followed on Wednesday. CoreWeave shares dropped about 15% as of this writing, and Nvidia, which is both CoreWeave's chip supplier and one of its shareholders, fell about 3% to roughly $221.
Should Nvidia investors worry? I don't think so -- at least not about CoreWeave itself. What Nvidia directly has riding on CoreWeave turns out to be small next to what the chipmaker earns.

CoreWeave's borrowing problemCoreWeave's trouble doesn't seem to be demand. Showing how quickly the business is still growing, CoreWeave's second-quarter revenue more than doubled year over year to around $2.6 billion. But the company lost $49 million on an operating basis, and its net interest expense of $640 million was more than twice what it was in the year-ago quarter. Its total debt was around $35.6 billion at midyear.
Simply put, CoreWeave is still borrowing to buy its chips, and it doesn't yet make enough from operations to pay its interest costs.
CRWV CoreWeave$69.69+$3.91 (+5.94%)
NASDAQ · As of 4:00 PM ET 10/15/26
How much does Nvidia have riding on CoreWeave?The most direct link is Nvidia's stake. Nvidia owned about 47.2 million CoreWeave shares on June 30, according to its latest holdings report. That position was worth about $4.7 billion then.
At Wednesday's price of around $66, it's worth more like $3.1 billion. And the roughly 23 million shares Nvidia bought in January, for $87.20 each, are off about 24%.
Nvidia also has a capacity deal with CoreWeave. In September 2025, the two companies signed an order with an initial value of $6.3 billion. Under it, Nvidia must buy any CoreWeave cloud capacity that CoreWeave's own customers don't use, through April 2032, subject to some conditions.
Of course, this backstop might cost Nvidia the most if CoreWeave's customers leave, which arguably isn't happening while revenue is doubling.
Nvidia's latest quarterly filing doesn't name CoreWeave at all. But it does show $36 billion in commitments under deals with AI cloud partners, usually six years long, and up to $3.5 billion in guarantees on some of those partners' data center leases. It also lists a maximum possible loss of $4.7 billion from certain stakes in infrastructure financiers (companies that help fund AI infrastructure).
Together, those items come to about $44 billion spread across several years -- and the filing doesn't say how much involves CoreWeave. (The filing's far bigger guarantee, up to $105 billion on data center leases linked to an OpenAI affiliate, is another matter.)
For context, Nvidia made $63.7 billion in operating income in its second quarter of fiscal 2027 alone (the three months ended July 26, 2026).
Nvidia can absorb a CoreWeave problemCoreWeave's purchases might be a small part of Nvidia's sales, too. CoreWeave spent around $14.1 billion on property and equipment in the first half of 2026, and not all of it went to Nvidia. In roughly the same period, Nvidia's revenue was around $178 billion.
Even if every dollar of CoreWeave's spending had gone to Nvidia, it'd be under 8% of Nvidia's sales.
Meanwhile, Nvidia's profits are still climbing quickly. Its operating income grew 124% year over year in fiscal Q2, and it was up around 19% from $53.5 billion in fiscal Q1.
NVDA Nvidia$217.23-$4.07 (-1.84%)
NASDAQ · As of 4:00 PM ET 10/15/26
Yes, the bigger risk isn't CoreWeave alone. If lenders pull back from every debt-funded AI cloud company at once, orders for Nvidia's chips might slow.
Yet the stock arguably already assumes some slowdown. Nvidia's price-to-earnings ratio is only around 14, using analysts' average earnings estimate for fiscal 2028 (Nvidia's next fiscal year). I think that's a low price for a company whose operating income just more than doubled.
In the end, CoreWeave's bond prices are a fair warning of how much of the AI build-out runs on debt. But Nvidia's own exposure to CoreWeave is small next to what the chipmaker earns in one quarter. I'd still buy Nvidia stock at this price, albeit in a size appropriate to the high-risk nature of a growth stock like this.
Nvidia stock NVDA continued to fall on Thursday as a sell-off in artificial intelligence-linked stocks intensified amid concerns that rising interest rates could constrain AI investments and fresh data pointed to mounting US inflationary pressures.
Updates from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and AI startup Anthropic also weighed on sentiment, as investors reassessed the sustainability of AI spending, financing arrangements and the prospects of generating returns from the sector's massive infrastructure investments.
Nvidia shares fell more than 2.5% on Thursday, taking their losses over the past five trading sessions to about 8%.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF dropped more than 11% over the same period, reflecting widespread weakness across chip stocks.
Concerns about AI spending, financing costs and intensifying competition from China have weighed on semiconductor stocks throughout the week.
A hotter-than-expected US inflation report on Wednesday added to the pressure, pointing to price increases broadening beyond energy and potentially keeping interest rates elevated for longer.
US wholesale inflation for September, measured through the Producer Price Index (PPI), also rose 1.3% month over month and 6.3% annually, both exceeding economists' estimates.
Higher borrowing costs could increase the expense of building data centres and expanding computing capacity, while prompting investors to demand greater clarity on the returns from AI-related investments.
Further, fresh concerns emerged on Thursday after TSMC issued a cautious assessment of its business outlook for 2027, citing macroeconomic uncertainty and pressure on consumer and price-sensitive markets.
"Looking ahead, we continue to observe consumer and price-sensitive end-markets segments are being challenged due to the impact of rising component prices and macroeconomic uncertainties," TSMC Chief Executive C.C. Wei said on an earnings call.
"As such, we are being prudent in our business planning going into 2027."
However, TSMC reiterated that demand continued to far exceed its supply capacity.
The company expects full-year 2026 revenue to grow by about 44%, up from its previous forecast of more than 40% growth last quarter. Its US-listed shares fell 3% on Thursday.
Reports about Anthropic's third-quarter revenue also failed to lift sentiment.
The Claude maker generated $16.8 billion in revenue in the September quarter, according to the Financial Times, representing sequential growth of nearly 50%.
However, that marked a sharp slowdown from the roughly 145% sequential growth reported in the second quarter.
"The market appears to be reading the Anthropic update as negative, which is understandable considering how on-edge the market has been anyway about the AI trade," DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria said in a note to clients.
Luria described the update as "more mixed".
Anthropic reportedly generated positive cash flow in the third quarter, according to the Financial Times.
Luria said this could help demonstrate that Anthropic and OpenAI are not "inherently unprofitable businesses that could never be profitable."
The sell-off reflects growing scrutiny of the relationship between AI demand, financing requirements and profitability.
"For much of the rally, accelerating AI investment was enough to lift almost everything exposed to the theme. Now markets are becoming more demanding about profitability, financing and capital discipline," said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo.
Chanana said there was insufficient evidence of a systemic AI credit crisis, but added, "The financing model behind the infrastructure boom is facing greater scrutiny."
"Investors should increasingly distinguish between strong demand, sustainable financing and attractive valuations. They are not necessarily the same thing," she said.
Baird technology strategist Ted Mortonson said investors were increasingly questioning which companies needed financing and how much that financing cost.
"I think the street is tiring of the Bank of Nvidia, the Bank of AMD and the Bank of Broadcom," Mortonson told Yahoo Finance senior reporter Brooke DiPalma, referring to Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices and Broadcom.
"This is very unusual in this cycle… It's not going over well with the institutional community," he added.
Mortonson pointed to "a higher cost of capital" and "a lot of scrutiny now on circular finance," which he said was "coming out of the Anthropic research meeting."
The latest developments suggest investors are becoming more selective about AI-related stocks, weighing strong demand for computing power against rising financing costs and the need for sustainable profits.
Germany plans a wide-ranging cooperation agreement with US chip maker Nvidia (NVDA.O) to boost the take-up of artificial intelligence in German industry, business daily Handelsblatt said on Thursday, citing people familiar with the issue.
It said the deal would be announced next week at the Invest in Germany conference in Berlin, where Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang will be a guest.
The aim of the deal would be two-fold, the newspaper said. Firstly, it would create the basis for physical AI tools, used in training robots or self-driving vehicles. Secondly, it would help to create high-performance AI models for industry.
The newspaper said the agreement would involve investments in the hundreds of millions of euros.
It said the agreement would be formed around the SOOFI project - Sovereign Open Source Foundation Models - launched in Germany last year to develop large AI models in collaboration with research institutions, universities, and AI companies.
No comment was immediately available from the German government, which said last month it remained committed to further development of AI capacity to strengthen Europe's digital sovereignty.
Volvo rozšiřuje partnerství s Nvidií a ve svých budoucích vozech nasadí platformu Hyperion, software Alpamayo a bezpečnostní vrstvu Halos pro automatizovanou jízdu ve městech i na dálnicích.
Volvo is leveling up its automated driving system through an expansion of its nearly decade-long partnership with Nvidia. The companies announced on Thursday that Volvo will use three pieces of Nvidia hardware and software in its future vehicles to provide an automated driving system that can navigate urban streets and highways.
Under the expanded partnership, Volvo will combine its vehicle safety systems and engineering with Nvidia’s Hyperion sensor and compute architecture, Alpamayo driving software stack, and Halos safety evaluation layer.
The Alpamayo stack is redundant and diverse, according to Ali Kani, who heads up Nvidia’s automotive division. It combines Alpamayo, a family of AI models, datasets, and simulation and development tools used to build autonomous-driving software, with classical software that uses machine learning and camera and radar perception, he said.
“The point is we run these two stacks at the same time, and we have multimodal sensors in our philosophy because because it’s a safer product that way,” Kani said, adding that the open-source Alpamayo software has now been downloaded by more than 650,000 developers.
Volvo didn’t reveal the value of the partnership or which vehicle model would be the first to use this new Nvidia tech stack. But Alwin Bakkenes, Volvo’s head of software development, hinted at the scale of the deal and how it represents the automaker’s evolution toward developing a full-tech stack designed for its electric vehicles as well as its plug-in hybrids and gas-powered vehicles.
“Automakers used to be very much like car-line based development and working with various suppliers, etc. and we have completely changed and migrated into being a full tech stack company,” Bakkenes said, adding that Volvo will start this partnership with a brand new vehicle that “will come in the not-too-near future.”
He said the first vehicle with this new Nvidia tech stack will debut within the decade, and “then of course the technology can go beyond that.”
While Volvo’s relationship with Nvidia isn’t new, the expanded partnership represents the automaker’s effort to bring the latest automated driving software to all of its vehicles — not just its EVs.
All of Volvo’s battery-electric vehicles use Nvidia’s Orin computer chip, which processes information from cameras, radar, and other sensors to help a vehicle understand its surroundings and make driving decisions.
“What we’re going to do in the future is actually standardize more on Hyperion — also from a sensor set perspective — to really open up the stack for for the wider partnership with Nvidia,” Bakkenes said.

Nvidia (NVDA -2.22%) is the leader in AI infrastructure, and it remains well positioned to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the ongoing data center build-out over the next few years. As long as the tech sector's spending on new compute capacity continues to increase, Nvidia should turn in strong growth, and the stock should perform well. At today's price, a $5,000 investment would buy you about 22 shares.
Currently, all signs point to continued strong AI infrastructure capital expenditures over the next several years. JPMorgan Chase has projected that AI infrastructure capex will reach a whopping $1.4 trillion a year in 2030, while hyperscalers like Amazon, Alphabet, and SpaceX have all discussed the quick paybacks they are getting on their chip investments. Notably, graphics processing units (GPUs) have useful lifespans of about six years, so Nvidia should also benefit from a pretty predictable replacement cycle.
Let's explore where a $5,000 investment in the semiconductor stock could be in about four years.
NVDA Nvidia$216.40-$4.91 (-2.22%)
NASDAQ · As of 10:56 AM ET 10/15/26
A lot of potential upside ahead Analysts currently project that Nvidia's revenue will grow from $411.7 billion in its fiscal 2027 (which ends in January 2027) to nearly $1.2 trillion in its fiscal 2031 (which ends in January 2031). Its adjusted earnings per share (EPS), meanwhile, are forecast to rise from $9.31 this fiscal year to $28.79. If you expect that it will at that point be trading at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio in the range of 15 to 20 -- not an unreasonable level -- that would give it a stock price of between $432 and $575, representing roughly 90% to 150% upside. That would result in a 22-share position being worth between $9,500 and $12,650 by the end of 2029.

However, Nvidia has consistently outpaced analysts' estimates by large margins over the past several years, and I think it has the potential to keep doing so.
To estimate how Nvidia could grow over the next four years, I have modeled its revenue growth to gradually slow from its current pace while its expenses rise 11% sequentially. I also project that its gross margins will gradually step down to approximately 70%, and I'm applying a 15% tax rate to its operating income. I also anticipate the company reducing its diluted outstanding share count by 2% a year through stock buybacks, which is a sensible capital return strategy given its strong free cash flow.
All this would lead to Nvidia generating over $1.9 trillion in revenue in its fiscal 2031 and adjusted earnings of around $979 billion, or almost $41.50 per share.
Below is a simple model of what its revenue and earnings growth could look like. All figures below are my own projections.

If we apply a P/E multiple in the 15 to 20 range to my projection for Nvidia's fiscal 2031 earnings, the stock would at that point trade between $620 and $830, representing approximately 175% to 270% potential upside. That would bring the value of 22 shares to between $13,640 and $18,260.
Nvidia has a lot of potential upside from both earnings-per-share growth and possible multiple expansion given its still-cheap valuation, which currently sits at a forward P/E of below 14.5, based on fiscal 2028 earnings expectations. While hyperscalers are likely to continue diversifying their AI chip supply chains and using more custom silicon, I think the biggest potential headwind to the stock hitting these levels would be an overall slowdown in AI infrastructure spending. That could be caused by things like supply chain bottlenecks, issues funding the build-out, or customers not seeing good returns on their investments, which so far hasn't been the case.
That said, given its potential upside, Nvidia is still a buy.

Shares of Nvidia (NVDA -3.16%) hit another record on Tuesday, Oct. 6, closing at $239.24. If history's any guide, the October-to-December quarter has usually been a good one for the artificial intelligence (AI) chip giant's stock.
Measured from the end of September to the end of December, Nvidia's shares rose in 20 of the 27 years from 1999 through 2025. The median change for all 27 fourth quarters was a gain of around 14%.
But the record comes with two caveats. Nvidia's stock has climbed in most quarters during this stretch, not just the last one of the year. From 2000 through 2025, for example, it also gained in 20 of 26 first quarters.
And two of the seven fourth quarters that went wrong cost shareholders over half their money.
I think the calendar matters much less here than the report Nvidia puts out in the middle of it.

A report in the middleNvidia's fiscal year ends in late January, so its fiscal third quarter closes in late October. The report for that period tends to come in mid-to-late November, about halfway through the calendar fourth quarter.
That report also gives management's revenue outlook for the fiscal fourth quarter, which runs roughly from November through January.
Sure, even a great report doesn't promise a good quarter. Nvidia's fiscal third-quarter 2026 results, released Nov. 19, 2025, showed revenue up 62% year over year to $57.0 billion. Management also guided for $65.0 billion in the next quarter.
The stock dropped around 3% a day later. It closed the fourth quarter down 0.04% -- a paper-thin loss in a quarter when the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC -1.88%) gained around 3%.
What happens when the pattern breaks?Nvidia's two worst fourth quarters broke the pattern for very different reasons. In 2000, the stock lost 60% as the dot-com crash pulled down tech stocks broadly. The Nasdaq Composite slid by around a third during the same three months. But Nvidia's shares were back above their late-September 2000 price by April 2001.
The 2018 decline was mainly Nvidia's own problem, and the November report made it far worse. By report day, shares had already fallen about 28% from their late-September close.
For the three months ended Oct. 28, 2018 (Nvidia's fiscal third quarter of 2019), revenue grew 21% year over year to $3.18 billion. But management forecast fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $2.70 billion, around 15% below what the company had just reported.
"Our near-term results reflect excess channel inventory post the cryptocurrency boom, which will be corrected," CEO Jensen Huang said in the earnings release.
Put simply, too many of Nvidia's chips sat unsold with distributors and retailers after demand from cryptocurrency miners cooled. Shares fell about 19% the day after the report and ended the quarter down 52%, versus a loss of about 18% for the Nasdaq. They didn't climb back above their late-September 2018 close till February 2020.
Notably, most of Nvidia's down fourth quarters lined up with a falling market. The Nasdaq fell in five of the seven. Only in 2020 and last year did Nvidia's shares drop while the index gained.
This year's bar is higherNvidia's business now looks nothing like it did in late 2018. For its fiscal second quarter of 2027 (which ended on July 26, 2026), revenue more than doubled, climbing 106% year over year to $96.2 billion. Management's forecast calls for $108.0 billion in fiscal Q3, plus or minus 2%.
That's the bar the fiscal third-quarter report needs to clear. Meeting the guide would mean growth of about 89% from the $57.0 billion Nvidia reported a year earlier, a step down from 106%. The forecast for the following quarter could matter even more to the stock than the quarter itself.

Nvidia's shares sell for around 15 times the consensus earnings estimate for fiscal 2028 (the year ending January 2028). Broadcom, another AI chipmaker, costs about 19 times its consensus earnings estimate for its next fiscal year.
True, a price-to-earnings ratio is only as good as the estimates behind it. But at that price, Nvidia's shares could arguably weather a weaker report than the past few.
So, does the calendar make Nvidia stock a buy right now? Not on its own. Twenty up years out of 27 mainly reflect a stock that's climbed in most quarters, whatever the season. And the worst years that broke the pattern saw a falling market, a weak forecast from Nvidia, or both.
At today's price, I'd consider buying shares for the growth Nvidia is delivering. The fourth quarter's history doesn't do much for that case.
On Nov. 16, 2022, Nvidia (NVDA -3.16%) reported results for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. It wasn't a great report. The chip designer missed Wall Street's average bottom-line target, even.
Revenue fell 17% year over year, and gaming sales were cut in half. New U.S. export rules blocked its top data center chips from China. Management took a $702 million inventory charge for products it no longer expected to sell in the Chinese market. If you skimmed the headlines that evening and went back to your couch, nobody could blame you.
Two weeks later, OpenAI released ChatGPT, and the tech world went bananas. Nvidia was already shipping chips to support the generative AI wonder. The stock was worth roughly $390 billion back then, and $5.5 trillion in October 2026. Things have changed, and November 2022 was a turning point.
So I went back and checked out that ho-hum earnings call. Hindsight is cheating, I know. It's also a pretty good way to learn what an early signal might look like before it becomes obvious.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Image source: Nvidia.
The ghost in the gaming numbersNvidia still had a gamer's reputation. The pandemic graphics card frenzy, further juiced by crypto miners, had ended with a whimper. Its ghost was haunting the sales channel in the form of unsold inventory and secondhand cards on eBay. When an analyst asked about leftover mining hardware, CEO Jensen Huang said he didn't expect blockchain to be an important part of the business anymore.
In 2022, it sounded like Huang dodging an uncomfortable question in the middle of a crypto winter. He was absolutely right, though. Ethereum switched from GPU-based mining to a proof-of-stake system in September that year, and specialized processors were already orders of magnitude better for mining Bitcoin. Even if the AI boom hadn't been around the corner, the crypto-mining surge was over.
Meanwhile, in the other corner of the income statement, data center revenue rose 31% to a record $3.8 billion. Gaming fell 51% to $1.6 billion. Just one year earlier, gaming had been the bigger segment. By this quarter, data center was about 2.4 times its size and made up nearly two-thirds of total revenue.
The new pillar of the business had been poured and set while most of the attention stayed on the gaming wreckage.
Nvidia named the trend before it had a mascotWhat gets me is that management wasn't hinting. CFO Colette Kress credited data center growth to workloads like "large language models, recommendation systems and generative AI." Huang called it "the beginning of the era of generative AI." The investor presentation flatly stated that LLMs "are widely viewed as the most important AI models today."
Many investors still had to look up what LLM meant. This was before ChatGPT turned the acronym into casual dinner-table material.
The deck also had a chart about the computing power needed to train transformer-based AI models. It was growing about 275 times every two years, versus 8 times for everything else. Squint at that chart as a sales forecast for an AI chip company, and it starts to look exciting.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
Then came the metaverse slideThe deck didn't stop at LLMs. The very next slide pitched Nvidia's Omniverse computing systems as a foundation for the metaverse. A later slide declared metaverse applications "the next wave." The company's $1 trillion market opportunity slide gave Omniverse software the same $150 billion estimate as AI enterprise software.
On paper, it was a coin flip. Facebook had renamed itself Meta Platforms (META -3.27%) about a year earlier. In an alternate universe, virtual reality worlds might have taken the spotlight that AI stole in 2022 and 2023.
To be fair to Nvidia, Omniverse was mostly aimed at industrial digital twins for factories and rail networks, not cartoon avatars, and the product is still around. It just isn't what turned Nvidia into a $5.5 trillion company.
The unglamorous plumbingHuang spent several answers on networking. He argued that high-performance interconnects pay for themselves in large AI data centers. The deck described the network and storage as part of "the computing fabric," not separate add-ons. Microsoft (MSFT -1.80%) was about to launch an AI infrastructure platform, running entirely on Nvidia's InfiniBand networking. That systems-level approach helps explain why Nvidia captured so much of the AI spending wave, not just the GPU slice.
Microsoft also happened to be OpenAI's biggest backer. Nobody on the call connected those dots.

The H100 was already rollingNvidia started shipping its H100 data center GPU during the quarter. Huang said customers were "clamoring" for it. He expected large volumes by early 2023, a faster ramp than the prior generation. The slide deck said partners would roll out the first wave of H100 products and services in fiscal Q4. ChatGPT launched in that same quarter.
Timing like that is hard to plan. For investors, the signs were hiding in plain sight.
What I'd borrow from this callNone of this guaranteed what happened next. Nvidia guided for $6.0 billion in fourth-quarter revenue, barely above the third quarter. China export restrictions, inventory charges, and a gaming slump dominated the near-term picture.
Yet, data center revenue was growing while everything else shrank. Management was talking specifically about LLMs and generative AI. A new flagship chip was ramping into exactly those workloads.
Those three signals are worth watching for in any earnings call: which segment keeps growing through a downturn, and which topics management keeps returning to.
Microsoft představil AI čip Maia 300, který má ve srovnání s GPU zpracovat o 40 % více tokenů na megawatt a snížit náklady na AI; výroba začne v roce 2027.
On Monday, Microsoft (MSFT -1.80%) unveiled its latest AI chip architecture, the Maia 300.
And the company went out of its way to point out the ways in which the Maia 300 was superior to graphics processing units (GPUs). "This is our biggest bet yet on our own silicon," said CEO Satya Nadella.
This was seen as a shot across the bow to the world's premier GPU maker, Nvidia (NVDA -3.16%).
So is the Maia 300 the "Nvidia killer" that everyone has been anticipating for years? It might be, but not in the way you might think. Here's what's really going on.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
Cutting the cost of AI The Maia 300 is an upgraded version of the Maia 200, which was released in January.
The Maia 200 is currently in production and has already been deployed at Microsoft facilities in Iowa and Arizona, where it's used instead of GPUs and other components from Nvidia, Intel (INTC -4.56%), and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -5.73%).
Microsoft claims the new, upgraded Maia 300 chip is even more economical and can process 40% more tokens per megawatt when compared to GPUs. A higher token-per-megawatt ratio results in lower AI costs because the biggest expense for an AI data center is electricity.
But even if it's cheaper to operate, it's certainly not going to match the power of Nvidia's top-of-the-line systems. Won't that be an issue?
It's not always about being first Perhaps more than any other company, Microsoft has done very well by coming in second. Its Azure cloud platform is the second-largest, compared to Amazon's Amazon Web Services. Its Surface tablets have never outsold Apple's iPad. Its Xbox has always played second fiddle to the Sony PlayStation.
So it shouldn't surprise anyone that Microsoft isn't trying to beat Nvidia at its own game, but to compete on a more favorable playing field: cost. "Moving data efficiently, rather than raw compute power, is increasingly the bottleneck in large inference systems," Microsoft said in its blog post announcing the Maia 300 system. The company hopes to leverage this to its advantage.
Image source: Getty Images.
Austin Lyons, an analyst for Chipstrat, thinks there's an opportunity here in optimizing different AI processors for different tasks. "The advantage of custom silicon is that Microsoft can optimize for the latency its own workloads actually require," he wrote. "A meeting summary and a coding agent don't need the same response time. Maia targets more throughput at each of those latency points, translates to more useful tokens served per megawatt and lower cost passed for customers."
Pat Moorhead of Moor Insights & Strategy agrees, writing:
Microsoft is now moving toward deploying Maia at meaningful production scale. At that scale, custom silicon isn't just about performance. It can become an important margin driver by improving the economics of delivering Microsoft's own AI services.
The AI race is changing Lyons and Moorhead are echoing commentary from across the industry that suggests the AI race is evolving away from a zero-sum contest to create the fastest, most powerful processors. Hyperscalers and other major players are starting to think about the economics of AI and what customers will be willing to pay in an era where the tech giants start to monetize the new technology.
By running lower-difficulty, in-house AI queries on processors that operate more cheaply, Microsoft is taking another step in proactive cost management, which is one of the key reasons investors rewarded the stock earlier this year.

So while the Maia 300 isn't an Nvidia killer on its own, it's evidence that the most powerful AI processors -- currently Nvidia's GPUs -- may not be everyone's universal first choice in the future for every application. Routing an AI query to the cheapest infrastructure possible for the difficulty of the problem presented may become the norm.
In other words, even if Nvidia continues to produce the best tech in the world for decades to come, its sales volume might suffer regardless.
Nvidia will still be in the mix The Maia 300 doesn't even begin production until sometime in 2027. And even then, Nvidia AI infrastructure is almost certain to remain a critical part of Microsoft's AI mix.
Just last week, Microsoft started taking preorders for a new Surface Laptop Ultra with a starting price of $2,599. That hefty price tag is thanks to its powerful processor that can run AI models without requiring cloud access.
The maker of that incredibly powerful chip? You guessed it: Nvidia.

Being AI-lab agnostic has long been a pillar of NVIDIA’s NASDAQ: NVDA strategy. Selling to all labs creates a deep moat, making the question of which one wins moot: NVIDIA always wins because it sells hardware, ecosystems, and services to the industry. As it stands, the moat is based largely on silicon, but it deepens with every advancement along the stack, entrenching its position as a comprehensive, universal AI developer ecosystem.
So, what happens when the company breaks out of its mold? Speculation is running rampant that this is becoming increasingly likely. NVIDIA is reportedly in early talks to buy Reflection AI or increase its investment in the startup. Reflection AI is a newer startup founded by former Alphabet NASDAQ: GOOGL DeepMind researchers.

Reflection AI focuses on open-weight foundation models (which aren't necessarily fully open-source) and agentic software tools that democratize AI. Governments, enterprises, and AI labs can download the software, own it, customize it, and run AI models on their own hardware. Offerings include Beam, focused on coding, reasoning, and agentic tasks, and Asimov, an agentic tool that helps developers answer complex questions about software systems.
NVIDIA’s Moat Will Deepen If It Acquires Reflection AIInvestors should note that this move wouldn't necessarily alter NVIDIA's strategy; it could strengthen it. Owning a developer of open-weight AI tools helps NVIDIA deepen its moat. Making AI models more widely accessible keeps the focus on its hardware and ecosystem, not which model developer wins.
The likely outcome is that modelers and, more importantly, inference providers will keep investing in NVIDIA technology as demand for AI-enabled enterprise and consumer services grows. It's not about the models but the equipment you use to run them. Models are already a dime a dozen; the question for businesses and consumers is which ones to use and how to access them. This move could cement, secure, and strengthen NVIDIA’s revenue and earnings outlook as the AI industry expands.
And NVIDIA isn’t new to the business. NVIDIA previously an $800 million direct investment in Reflection AI, anchoring a $2 billion funding round, which valued the company at $8 billion. The partnership not only provides the company with money but also strengthens its ties to NVIDIA's GPU ecosystem, which Reflection AI uses to train its models. Nebius Group NASDAQ: NBIS is another critical player, having secured a $1 billion contract from Reflection AI for cloud capacity and services.
The question of whether owning a model maker gives NVIDIA a new revenue stream or strains its relationships with AI labs remains open. NVIDIA may be more interested in Reflection AI for its position in the AI ecosystem than for its revenue. If NVIDIA wants to keep low-cost, open-weight AI models in Western control, an acquisition could be strategically valuable. The risk is that China emerges as the leader in low-cost models, leading the industry toward its hardware and ecosystem rather than NVIDIA’s.
NVIDIA Will Control Reflection AI, the Only Question Is How?The most important question is: How might the deal be structured? Investors should consider the possibility of a non-standard workaround, such as a hire-to-acquire strategy, but even that is not assured. NVIDIA may simply hire Reflection AI’s staff and license its technology, potentially avoiding a lengthy merger review without necessarily escaping regulatory scrutiny.
Regulatory oversight also poses risks, as authorities have already expressed interest in other deals. NVIDIA licensed technology from Groq and hired several of its executives (also started by Alphabet engineers) in a similar manner, raising questions from lawmakers about whether it intentionally avoided regulatory oversight.

Those raising concerns include Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal, who argue that NVIDIA’s AI dominance may pose a threat to competition. In this environment, the company will have to be careful to address regulatory concerns.
Analysts remain bullish on NVIDIA, although the impact of the potential deal remains uncertain. The acquisition could represent an extension of NVIDIA's strategy rather than a strategic shift. The stock carries a consensus Buy rating from the 55 analysts tracked by MarketBeat, with a consensus price target suggesting over 40% upside from mid-October trading levels.
NVIDIA’s next visible catalyst is its upcoming earnings report. Expected around Nov. 18, analysts forecast a deceleration to about 90% year-over-year revenue and earnings growth. The company consistently outperforms estimates and could do so again this quarter. Global investment in AI infrastructure across industries continues to drive demand for its core products. Investors will be watching growth, as well as profitability, cash flow, and capital returns, which have been accelerating.

NVIDIA představila knihovnu cuPotential pro simulace atomů a molekul s využitím AI; v testech zrychlila již pro GPU optimalizované pracovní postupy 2× až 3×.
NVIDIA introduces cuPotential, a new NVIDIA CUDA-X library developers can use to build AI agents that simulate how atoms and molecules interact, accelerating already GPU-optimized workflows by an additional 2-3x in early-access testing.NanoVDB, an open source library for working with 3D data, accelerates chipmaking simulation for AI-defined fabs, helping Lam Research achieve 30x faster simulation.NVIDIA NPP, a library for processing images on GPUs, accelerates chipmaking inspection for AI-defined fabs, helping KLA accelerate inspection.Applied Materials, Cadence, KLA, Lam Research, Siemens, Synopsys and other semiconductor leaders are using NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and AI stack across chip design, manufacturing and testing, helping drive faster development, better yield and greater production capacity. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEMICON West -- NVIDIA today announced semiconductor leaders are adopting NVIDIA CUDA-X™ libraries — including the new NVIDIA cuPotential library, which developers can use to build AI agents that simulate how atoms and molecules interact — to advance AI-defined fabs.
AI-defined fabs are semiconductor factories where AI helps engineers optimize processes, solve production issues and improve production efficiency. As demand for advanced chips rises, such fabs must expand production while managing increasingly complex manufacturing processes. Engineers need new ways to model materials, analyze inspection data and test process changes in digital twins before applying them in production.
The expanded CUDA-X portfolio gives AI agents and engineering applications accelerated tools for semiconductor simulation, 3D data processing and image analysis, helping automate more engineering work across chip design and manufacturing so fabs can predict process behavior and improve yield.
“The semiconductor industry made the AI revolution possible. Now, AI is transforming how chips are built,” said Tim Costa, vice president and general manager of industrial and computational engineering at NVIDIA. “As fabs race to meet demand for advanced chips, NVIDIA CUDA-X and Omniverse libraries give AI agents accelerated simulation and inspection tools to help engineers manage complexity, improve yield and advance AI-defined fabs.”
NVIDIA cuPotential Accelerates How Researchers Model Atomic Interactions
Understanding how atoms and molecules interact is critical to modeling semiconductor materials and manufacturing processes, but these calculations can take significant amounts of time, even in software already optimized for GPUs.
NVIDIA cuPotential accelerates atomic-scale simulation with specialized GPU-accelerated functions developers can add to existing software. It helps researchers model electrical forces and other interactions across large numbers of atoms to test and refine simulations faster. Synopsys is among the early adopters using cuPotential to accelerate materials simulations.
By making these modeling capabilities available to AI agents, cuPotential helps agents run, evaluate and iterate on advanced molecular simulations. In early-access testing, the library accelerated already GPU-optimized workflows by an additional 2-3x.
Semiconductor Leaders Advance AI-Defined Fabs With NVIDIA CUDA-X
AI-defined fabs require faster ways to model chip designs, materials behavior and manufacturing processes before changes reach production. NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries — including NVIDIA cuPotential for simulating atomic interactions, NVIDIA cuEST for modeling electronic behavior and NVIDIA cuDSS for solving complex engineering simulations — accelerate these workloads to help make fabs more autonomous.
Synopsys is using cuPotential, cuEST and cuDSS to accelerate semiconductor simulations, with early QuantumATK results showing a potential 30x speedup using cuEST, and S-Device benchmarks showing a 12x speedup using cuDSS. The company’s AgentEngineer solutions interoperate with NVIDIA Nemotron™ open models and NVIDIA NeMo™ to support AI agents for chip design and verification.
Cadence is using NVIDIA accelerated computing, NVIDIA Nemotron open models and CUDA-X libraries to bring agentic AI to the design and simulation of electromechanical systems — from semiconductors to advanced packaging and printed circuit boards. Examples include Cadence AuraStack AI Super Agent optimizing advanced packages for heat and stress 8x faster using cuDSS with Cadence Celsius, and Nemotron with ChipStack AI Super Agent for semiconductor design and verification.
COMSOL is accelerating semiconductor multiphysics simulations with NVIDIA cuDSS, delivering up to 10x faster simulations to help engineers optimize equipment and processes. Its upcoming COMSOL MCP Server will use the NVIDIA Nemotron Ultra open model to enable AI-assisted modeling and design exploration.
Voltai accelerates advanced chip packaging with Voltaire, its agentic multiphysics platform for 3D-IC design and simulation. Voltaire combines AI agents with GPU-accelerated solvers powered by NVIDIA cuDSS and CUDA-X libraries, compressing complex electro-thermal-mechanical simulation workflows from months to a day.
ChipAgents uses NVIDIA AI infrastructure and NVIDIA model-training and optimization software to develop specialized AI models for chip design. The company is also working with NVIDIA to develop Build-A-Chip Bench, a new AI benchmark that evaluates agents across end-to-end workflows from specification to graphic data system. The benchmark gives the industry a comprehensive measure of progress toward fully autonomous semiconductor engineering.
NVIDIA Open Libraries Help Prepare and Optimize Manufacturing Workflows
Fabs depend on thousands of process steps that must be modeled, refined and validated before production. The NVIDIA cuLitho library accelerates calculations for printing chip patterns; NanoVDB — an open source library for working with 3D data — accelerates chipmaking simulations; and the open NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo™ framework helps train physics AI models to predict how physical systems behave.
Siemens is using cuLitho to speed up Calibre software for chip-pattern refinement and mask preparation. Its Solido team is also developing agent-driven characterization workflows with Nemotron open models and NVIDIA NeMo open libraries.
Lam Research intends to integrate NanoVDB into its advanced semiconductor process modeling platform SEMulator3D, part of the company’s Semiverse Solutions family of virtual products. The addition of NanoVDB is expected to accelerate select wafer-etch modeling by up to 30x, while using NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo has been demonstrated to assist in reducing plasma-prediction simulation time to as little as milliseconds instead of days.
Luminary is applying NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo to semiconductor package design, training physics AI models to predict temperature, pressure drop and thermal stress across package configurations — enabling engineers to explore 100x more designs in the same schedule without running a new simulation for every option.
AI-Defined Fabs Inspect and Test Chips With NVIDIA CUDA-X Libraries
AI-defined fabs need to analyze inspection images and test data quickly enough to catch defects, maintain equipment and improve yield. NVIDIA NPP, a library for processing images on GPUs, and NVIDIA RAPIDS cuDF, a library for processing large datasets on GPUs, help accelerate test and quality-control workflows.
Using NVIDIA AI and accelerated computing, imec is removing noise from scanning electron microscope images used for sub-nanometer chip measurements and using NVIDIA cuLitho to enable computationally intensive process-window optical proximity correction — achieving a 30% improvement in the lithography process window.
KLA applied insights from its highly optimized production kernels to a new NPP NCC kernel that achieved performance levels 50x faster than earlier CPU versions, comparable with KLA’s hand-tuned implementations.
Teradyne is using NVIDIA NPP and accelerated computing to accelerate image-sensor testing, and RAPIDS cuDF and CuPy for GPU calculations, to deliver approximately 85x faster probe-maintenance inference, helping identify degrading probes before they affect yield.
Advantest has integrated NVIDIA Nemotron and NVIDIA Kumo-Anomaly into ACS RTDI to enable AI-driven semiconductor production analytics. Powered by NVIDIA Grace Blackwell systems, ACS delivers real-time diagnostics and inferencing that recommend corrective actions for test cells. Advantest is also using NVIDIA NeMo Switchyard AI agents to automate model selection, streamline semiconductor test workflows and reduce response times from hours to minutes.
NVIDIA Technologies Advance Fab Operations and Automation
In an AI-defined fab, equipment data must move from instruments into AI systems fast enough to support operational decisions.
Applied Materials is using NVIDIA Omniverse™ and NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries, including cuDSS, cuEST and PhysicsNeMo, across materials discovery, process development and fab optimization — enabling up to 35x faster chamber simulations and fab digital twins that help optimize layouts and material flow.
Analog Devices Inc. is combining Synopsys physics simulation with the NVIDIA Isaac Sim™ framework and Omniverse libraries to develop high-fidelity sensing simulations and robotic benchmarks, helping engineers evaluate how sensors behave within complete robotic systems.
FANUC and Foxconn are connecting their robot models to the Mega NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint, enabling manufacturers to simulate and validate robotic operations in factory digital twins before physical deployment.
OMRON is using NVIDIA Cosmos™ open world models and the NVIDIA Metropolis Blueprint for video search and summarization in its inspection equipment to develop agents that combine visual data, equipment documentation and manufacturing knowledge. These agents help engineers analyze printed circuit board results, investigate potential defect causes, and support troubleshooting and quality control.
Availability
NVIDIA cuPotential is available in early access. NanoVDB is available as open source within OpenVDB, and NPP is available through NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit. Lam Research’s NanoVDB-accelerated SEMulator3D capability is targeted for release by the end of this year.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock faces a volatile second half of October, with prediction market traders weighing the chipmaker’s potential to extend its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven rally.
Data from Polymarket shows traders assigning a strong probability to Nvidia reaching higher price levels by October 31, although the odds decline for more ambitious targets.
Specifically, traders assign an 87% probability to Nvidia stock reaching $232 by October 31, 2026. The odds of touching $240 stand at 50%, while the probability of hitting $248 falls to 25%.
More ambitious price targets attract significantly lower odds. To this end, traders assign Nvidia an 11% probability of reaching $256, 3% for $264, and 2% for $272.

On the downside, the market assigns a 72% probability to NVDA touching $224, while the odds of reaching $216 stand at 38%. The probability of falling to $208 is 18%.
These figures represent the likelihood of Nvidia touching specific price levels during the period, not its expected closing price on October 31. The probabilities are also not mutually exclusive, as the stock could reach several of these levels during the same month.
Nvidia stock fundamentals
The prediction market outlook comes as Nvidia faces growing competition from technology companies developing their own AI chips.
For instance, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has introduced its Maia 300 processor for inference workloads, claiming it can deliver 40% more tokens per megawatt than leading GPU-based systems.
Meanwhile, Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) CEO Hock Tan warned that financing the expansion of AI infrastructure could become a constraint.
Despite these risks, Nvidia reported $96.2 billion in second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue, up 106% year over year, while data center revenue surged 117% to $89 billion.
The company forecast third-quarter revenue of $108 billion, plus or minus 2%, excluding data center compute revenue from China.
Nvidia is also expanding its AI infrastructure ecosystem. On October 12, the company and Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) announced a high-density optical networking design to scale AI factories.
The following day, Nvidia committed $250 million over five years to advance agentic AI safety and security research in the UK, according to its newsroom.

NVIDIA announces a compute donation valued at $250 million over five years to support U.K. agentic safety and security research.The program will support the wider U.K. research community, with a proportion of the commitment supporting BOLD, SOFAIR and Imperial College London across fundamental agentic foundation models and robotics safety.Compute access will be delivered through U.K.-based NVIDIA Cloud Partners, supporting the nation’s research capability and compute ecosystem.
LONDON, Oct. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NVIDIA today announced a five-year compute donation valued at $250 million to strengthen the United Kingdom’s agentic safety and security research capability.
The commitment will provide $50 million in compute access annually to support agentic safety and security research across the U.K. The majority will support the wider U.K. AI safety and security research community, with a proportion supporting work with the British Open-Ended Learning and Discovery Lab (BOLD), the Science of Fundamental AI Research Lab (SOFAIR) and Imperial College London.
“AI capability and safety must advance together,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “The U.K. brings world-class scientific rigor to this essential engineering challenge. With this $250 million commitment, NVIDIA will put accelerated computing in the hands of U.K. researchers to develop, test and strengthen safeguards for increasingly powerful AI. This is how the U.K. turns research leadership into real-world solutions — and scientific progress into a future that benefits everyone.”
“This commitment is a vote of confidence in our world-leading strength and expertise in AI research — and, in particular, frontier AI safety that is becoming ever more important as AI’s capabilities develop,” said U.K. AI Minister Kanishka Narayan. “NVIDIA’s donation will help Britain’s AI innovators access the resources they need to bring their ideas to life — and, in the process, help build a distinctly British AI future that is safe, secure and that serves people’s best interests, objectives that will be central to the U.K.’s G20 presidency.”
“To realise the opportunities of AI, people need to feel the technology is safe and secure. The government is committed to ensuring AI can be securely harnessed to fuel new discoveries and drive growth,“ said U.K. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds. “NVIDIA’s investment will help British researchers continue to lead the world in that effort — accelerating the breakthroughs that build trust and help us deploy AI safely.”
Strengthening UK Leadership in Agentic Safety and Security
Compute provided through the initiative will be dedicated to agentic safety and security research.
The program will connect complementary areas of U.K. research, including in AI safety and security. BOLD, led by the University of Oxford, is developing approaches that help AI systems learn, adapt and operate alongside people. SOFAIR, led by UCL, is exploring new open source AI architectures and more accessible ways to develop and deploy AI. Imperial’s work will include safety engineering and robotics.
“We are experiencing a critical moment where AI safety as an afterthought is no longer appropriate for the open-ended, evolving world,” said Jakob Foerster, founding director of BOLD. “This compute will help us explore transparent and human-centric approaches to AI that allow us to collectively rise to the challenge by building in governance and human-AI co-improvement from the ground up.”
“The next frontier of artificial intelligence is physical — robots, autonomous systems of agents that perceive, reason and act in the real world,” said Alessandra Russo, director of Imperial Frontier AI Research Lab and convening co-director of Human and AI, School of Convergence Science. “With NVIDIA and our industry partners, Imperial is working to ensure that safety and assurance at the heart of this revolution, ensuring the U.K. leads not only in developing physical AI but in making it trustworthy for the communities and industries that will depend on it.”
NVIDIA will fund compute access through U.K.-based NVIDIA Cloud Partners, with infrastructure hosted in the U.K. This will support the U.K. compute ecosystem and provide a domestic platform for research. Provider selection, technical architecture and commercial terms are to be agreed.
As part of the wider initiative, research programs will focus on secure agents, open-model security and real-world threat mitigations. The work will support secure sandboxes, reproducible research and safety assessment benchmarks, including research conducted using NVIDIA OpenShell™ open, secure runtime software and the NVIDIA Sentry reference design. Findings are intended to inform safeguards across the wider computing ecosystem.
The commitment builds on NVIDIA’s collaboration with the U.K.’s research community, including on the University of Bristol’s Isambard-AI supercomputer, powered by NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchips.

LSEG uzavřela partnerství s NVIDIA, aby finanční instituce rychleji analyzovaly historická tržní data. Technologie má během sekund zpracovat každý obchod a cenovou kotaci.
The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG.L) said on Wednesday it has partnered with Nvidia (NVDA.O) to help financial institutions process and analyse large volumes of historical market data faster and at scale using the US chipmaker's technology.
LSEG, which operates the London Stock Exchange and provides data and analytics, has been expanding its offerings to support diverse demand whilst retaining licenses and control as AI also affects how businesses trade and consume data.
Analysis showed that computing on Nvidia's specialised processors without creating copies of the dataset could help study every trade and price quote in seconds for insights, the company said. This would make research faster and closer to real-time as equity trading moves to 24-hour cycles, it added.
"This collaboration expands how customers can draw insight from LSEG's trusted, governed Tick History. Customers want to work with detailed historical data at speed," said Ron Lefferts, co-head of data & analytics at LSEG.
According to the company, its Tick History has about 110 trillion rows of data across 100 million instruments spanning 30 years and 580 exchanges, trading venues and contributors.
LSEG is the largest customer of Reuters, which provides news for its Workspace news and data platform and other products. It plans next year to launch LSE 24, a night-time trading site for some exchange-traded products.
When investors talk about artificial intelligence (AI), Nvidia (NVDA +0.97%) might be the first business that comes to mind. There's a good reason for that. In the past five years, its shares have climbed 1,000%. Because the company is a critical provider of AI hardware, it will continue to capture the market's attention.
But where could this AI stock be in five years?
Image source: Nvidia.
Incredible demand is driving the financials The AI infrastructure build-out is in full swing and Nvidia has benefited more than any other company as the major hyperscalers are in a race to build more data centers. Nvidia Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress has estimated that combined capital expenditures will total "nearly $800 billion in 2026." The upward trajectory is unmistakable.
The largest cost component of these facilities is the graphics processing units that Nvidia specializes in, with Vera Rubin being the latest platform. Nvidia has over 80% share of the market for data center chips. It has, unsurprisingly, registered eye-popping demand in recent years that has driven its financials to new heights.
Nvidia reported $96.2 billion of revenue in its fiscal second quarter (ended July 26), a figure that rose 106% year over year. And its net income was up 126%. Pricing power has been a notable contributor to these numbers.
According to analyst estimates, Nvidia's revenue is set to grow at a compound annual rate of 61% between fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2029, which will close in early 2029. Furthermore, its diluted earnings per share are projected to rise at a yearly clip of 65% during that time. These metrics present an incredibly powerful tailwind that can lift the stock higher.

The biggest question mark is durability Nvidia is worth $5.5 trillion, and that market capitalization makes it the world's most valuable company. Investors are probably wondering if there's any upside left. What might be going on in late 2031, for example?
To ponder that, first, consider the stock's valuation. This "Magnificent Seven" stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of only 25. That's 27% more expensive than the S&P 500 index. Given that Nvidia's earnings growth is astronomically higher than the benchmark's average, that is a gap worth highlighting.
The valuation isn't much higher because the market is questioning the durability of Nvidia's monster success. There is no telling how long the AI boom will last.
While Nvidia's stock could easily be a double (and potentially a lot more) in five years if the momentum holds up, that outcome is full of extreme uncertainty.
Scaleway's proposed Danish site will use HGX B300 systems to serve customers seeking EU-hosted AI capacity. Summary
Copenhagen expands Nvidia’s European distribution without establishing the size or timing of related sales.
Nvidia, the AI-computing and networking supplier NVDA, secured another planned Blackwell deployment through Scaleway's Copenhagen expansion, according to Reuters on October 13. Shares traded at $225.67, down 0.3%, at 10:29 a.m. ET. The project adds another European destination for Nvidia's hardware. But without a disclosed order value or system count, investors have little basis to calculate its contribution to sales.
The hardware packs plenty of muscle. Scaleway selected HGX B300, and Nvidia's documentation specifies eight Blackwell GPUs per baseboard, each carrying 288GB of memory. That totals 2.304TB of GPU memory per baseboard. Those specifications explain the computing capacity of each unit. They do not reveal the size of Scaleway's purchase. For investors, the missing numbers matter more than another impressive specification sheet.
Nvidia's GF Score of 95 out of 100 shows strong profitability and growth, while the weaker GF Value reading makes valuation the clear pressure point. That is the tension here: a powerful business can still carry a demanding price. European demand for locally hosted AI computing could widen Nvidia's customer base, but the next useful evidence is concrete—installation volumes, launch dates and follow-up orders. More deployment locations support the growth story; the dollars will determine how much this project matters.
Disclosures I/we have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and have no plans to buy any new positions in the stocks mentioned within the next 72 hours.
Ray Dalio warned the world that AI looks like a classic bubble, then quietly kept Nvidia as Bridgewater's single largest stock holding. When a legendary investor's words and his money point in opposite directions, following the money changes everything.
I keep adding to my NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) position, and the latest push came from a source I didn’t expect: Ray Dalio. At the Forbes Global CEO Conference in Singapore, Dalio said the AI boom resembles a “classic bubble” and that we are nearing one. Then I looked at his portfolio. NVIDIA is Bridgewater Associates’ single largest individual stock holding and third-largest position overall. When a famous investor’s warnings and his holdings disagree, I go with the holdings.
Demand It Can’t Fill Keeps Pulling Me Back
The full AI factory NVIDIA sells includes GPUs, CPUs, networking and the CUDA software that ties them together. My whole thesis rests on one line from the latest earnings call: “NVIDIA Compute is fully utilized across every cloud we serve.” Management expects revenue to grow approximately 70% in fiscal 2028, and it calls that number supply-constrained, because “customers’ forecasts point to our growth doubling next year.”
Three Receipts Behind Every Purchase
First, the growth is speeding up. Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 hit $96.22 billion, up 105.8% year over year, and Data Center revenue reached $89.02 billion (+117%). Growth sped up for the fourth consecutive quarter, and third-quarter guidance calls for $108.0 billion.
Second, the profitability is elite and the balance sheet is close to bulletproof. Net margin stands at 55.60%, return on invested capital at 92.21%, debt-to-equity at 0.073, and interest coverage at 503x. Fiscal 2026 free cash flow came to $96.58 billion.
Third, the price still works for me, and so does the cash coming back to owners. At a P/E of 46, I’m paying a reasonable multiple for a company that doubled its revenue. NVIDIA returned $26.0 billion to shareholders last quarter, raised its quarterly dividend to $0.25 from $0.01 in May 2026, and still has about $99.0 billion left on its buyback authorization. The 0.018% yield is token income. I own NVIDIA for compounding, and over five years the stock has gained 985.59%.

AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) trades at roughly 224 times earnings with an operating margin of 10.66%. NVIDIA’s operating margin is 60.38%. I’d pay the lower multiple for the far higher margin every time. In its latest quarter, Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) grew revenue 85.5%, a strong number that still trails NVIDIA. Broadcom also lists its indebtedness and reliance on a limited number of large customers as risks.
Risk That Could Actually Hurt Me
NVIDIA has $279 billion in supply commitments, and it caps guarantees to AI cloud partners at $108.5 billion. Days sales outstanding extended to 60 days from 45. China is gone from guidance, and Q1 brought $4.5 billion in H20 charges. If AI spending stalls, those commitments turn into a burden. The stock fell 5.27% last week as Barron’s flagged a warning in its chart.
My thesis holds because the spending keeps climbing. Top hyperscaler capex should reach nearly $800 billion in 2026 and $1.3 trillion in 2027, and management expects supply to stay the constraint at least through the end of fiscal year 28.
What Keeps My Buy Button Active
Vera Rubin carries $40 billion per gigawatt of revenue opportunity, up from Blackwell’s $25 billion, and management expects it to be “the fastest product ramp in NVIDIA’s history.” On top of that, NVIDIA’s new neocloud revenue-sharing model means it gets “paid twice, once on the hardware sale and again through the share of rental revenue.”
Dalio can call it a bubble from the stage. I’ll keep reading his filings, and I’ll keep buying. Riding a mania is fine as long as you plan the exit, and we covered both sides in a free bubble survivor’s handbook.
