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.

Investors are always looking for stocks that deliver robust gains, trying to squeeze the most out of their buck. Of course, finding big-time winners is much easier said than done, but investors can still deploy a basic framework that puts them on the path to reaping outsized gains.
But what drives market outperformance?
Let’s take a closer look at a few common traits among companies delivering outsized gains.
Sales Growth Remains Key
Sales growth is vital, as it’s the foundation of generating profits. Strong revenue generation allows companies to achieve scaling efficiencies, generate continuous shareholder value, and many other clear benefits.
A clear-cut example of this has been Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report) over the last several years, whose shares have soared on the back of rock-solid sales growth within its Data Center.
Margins Are Critical
Margin performance reveals how efficiently a company operates, showing whether it’s extracting more profit from each dollar of sales. Expansion indicates that a company is operating more efficiently, with better cost controls and other operational processes driving improved financial health.
Innovation Keeps You Ahead of the Competition
Innovation is crucial for a company to stay relevant, helping it maintain and expand its current market share. Nvidia is again a clear-cut example of this favorable development, whose innovation within artificial intelligence (AI) has launched shares and put it at the forefront of market headlines.
Earnings Estimates Drive Near-Term Performance
Favorable earnings estimate revisions are key for a stock to move higher, precisely where the Zacks Rank comes into play.
The Zacks Rank uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from ‘Strong Buy’ to ‘Strong Sell.’ Importantly, it allows individual investors to take advantage of trends in earnings estimate revisions and benefit from the power of institutional investors.
Bottom Line
All investors look to reap outsized gains.
When it comes to outperformance, several factors, including robust sales growth, margin expansion, innovation, and favorable earnings estimate revisions, are all contributing factors.
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?

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.

A single semiconductor ETF sounds like a spread bet across dozens of chip companies, but the math inside one popular fund tells a very different story about where your money actually lands.
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%.
Why My Money Skips AMD and Broadcom
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.

Wall Street already sees 43% upside in NVIDIA, yet analysts keep raising their targets as the Vera Rubin ramp begins and hyperscaler budgets balloon toward $1.3 trillion. Here is exactly what has to happen for NVIDIA to blow past consensus…
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) has shown AI demand keeps compounding in 2026. Shares are up 23.57% year-to-date at $229.92, with a five-year gain of 1008.58%. Data centers drive the business.
Second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue reached $96.22 billion, up 105.8% year over year, with Data Center sales at $89.02 billion. CEO Jensen Huang said: “AI has reached its inflection point. It’s doing useful work. Its tokens are productive and profitable. Now, compute is revenue.”
Below, I walk through what NVIDIA would need to do to reach $350 per share in 2027.
Wall Street Already Sees Roughly 43% Upside for NVIDIA The average analyst price target is $328.72, meaning about 43% upside. The stock has 10 strong buys and 48 buys against 2 holds and 1 sell.
Consensus calls for EPS of $9.3073 in fiscal 2027 (ending January 2027) and $15.6951 in fiscal 2028, which works out to nearly 69% growth. Management expects fiscal 2028 revenue to grow approximately 70% and describes that outlook as supply-constrained.
Ninety days ago, the fiscal 2028 EPS estimate was $12.7102. Over the past 30 days it drew 46 upward revisions and zero cuts. NVIDIA has also beaten EPS estimates for six consecutive quarters. Most recently it reported $2.22 against a $2.0887 consensus.
Here’s What It Takes for NVIDIA to Reach $350 At today’s price, NVIDIA trades at about 15x fiscal 2028 earnings. At $350, the multiple would be roughly 22x. That is reasonable for a business with a 60.4% operating margin and nearly 69% expected EPS growth.
Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management said on CNBC: “Even though the multiple of Nvidia will probably continue to go down, I think the stock will continue to rise.”
What Could Push NVIDIA to $350? Vera Rubin’s ramp: NVIDIA expects “the fastest product ramp in NVIDIA’s history.” Each gigawatt represents about $40 billion in revenue opportunity versus $25 billion for Blackwell. Hyperscaler spending: Capital spending by the top five hyperscalers is projected to rise from nearly $800 billion in 2026 to $1.3 trillion in 2027. Demand exceeding supply: Customer forecasts point to growth doubling next year, potentially driving results past 70% guidance. Capital returns: NVIDIA returned $26 billion to shareholders in Q2 and has about $99 billion left on its buyback authorization. Real risks exist. Higher memory costs are expected to pull gross margin to 71% to 72% in Q4, and guidance assumes no China data center compute revenue.
Sentiment can shift quickly. The same hyperscaler expansion driving NVIDIA also lifts the power, cooling, and networking suppliers behind the data centers (we pulled together seven of them in a free AI infrastructure report).
NVIDIA’s History Says $350 Is Within Reach Reaching $350 would require a 52% gain. Since 2000, NVIDIA has done better in 13 calendar years.
Shares rose 239% in 2023, 171% in 2024, 227% in 2016 and 125% in 2021. With a market cap near $5.55 trillion, triple-digit years will be harder. Still, a 52% move is well below past peak years.
Is $350 Realistic? Here’s My Take Reaching $350 would mean a 52% gain in 2027. Wall Street sees 43% upside, estimates keep rising, and Vera Rubin enters production with orders in hand.
If hyperscaler spending reaches $1.3 trillion and NVIDIA keeps beating forecasts, a 22x multiple on fiscal 2028 earnings looks possible. This is the path NVIDIA could take to outsized returns in 2027.

Buying a growth ETF at the absolute peak of a historic bubble sounds like a guaranteed disaster, yet some of the worst possible entry points in VUG's history still managed to outrun the S&P 500. The answer depends entirely on…
This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.
A buyer who put $10,000 into Vanguard Morningstar Growth ETF (NYSEARCA:VUG) on Oct 31, 2007, watched VUG lose 51%. That investment is worth $100,122 today.
Buy-and-hold advice assumes you bought at a reasonable price. VUG’s worst purchase dates are a harder test, so each one here is measured in total return against the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY).
VUG charges 0.03% a year, closed at almost $92, and its ETF share class holds $233 billion. It now tracks the Morningstar US Large Cap Growth Index, which is the old CRSP index under a new name, and its objective and management are unchanged.
Buying at the 2007 Top Still Produced a Six-Figure Stake The 2007 buyer rode VUG down 51% to the Mar 9, 2009 bottom. Breaking even took until Feb 8, 2011, a wait of 1,196 days.
SPY fell 55% from its own Oct 9, 2007 peak. It did not recover until Aug 16, 2012.
Today, the VUG investment is worth $100,122, a rate of 13% a year, compared with $71,189 in SPY at 11%. The fund that looked riskier fell about as far, recovered sooner, and finished far ahead.
VUG’s total-return high came on Nov 19, 2021. The fund fell 36% to Nov 3, 2022, and needed 795 days to get back to that peak.
SPY fell 25% in the same bear market. Rising rates hit expensive growth stocks hardest, and VUG holds little else.
A VUG investment bought at that peak is now $17,350, or 12% a year, against $17,742 in SPY at 12%. Of all the entry points tested, this is the only one where the VUG buyer still trails the S&P 500.
A Fast Crash Cost Almost Nothing While a Slow One Cost Years VUG peaked on Feb 19, 2025, then fell 23% by Apr 8, 2025, during the tariff drop. It recovered in 125 days.
That buyer now holds $12,959 against $12,944 in SPY, which is effectively a tie.
Longer holding periods also favor VUG. It beat SPY in all 154 rolling ten-year windows starting at a month-end since 2004.
Its smallest win ran from Dec 31, 2012 to Dec 30, 2022, by roughly $1,000. The margin was thin only because that window ended in the middle of a bear market for growth stocks.
Carry the same purchase forward to today. That buyer holds $87,743 in VUG against $68,972 in SPY.
Dot-Com Buyers Waited More Than a Decade to Break Even The worst moment in this fund’s history came before the ETF existed. VUG is a share class of the Vanguard Growth Index Fund, whose Investor Shares fell 56% from Mar 27, 2000 to Jul 23, 2002.
The break-even point came on Sep 13, 2012, roughly 12.5 years after the purchase. A decade in, the investment was worth $7,349, while Vanguard’s S&P 500 index fund held $9,111.
After two decades, the growth fund still fell behind, at $22,874 against $24,075. Today it holds $84,158, slightly ahead of $80,653.
Those Investor Shares tracked different growth indexes during that stretch and charged more than the ETF. For anyone drawing income, waiting that long matters more than how far the fund fell, because withdrawals during a slow recovery lock in losses.
Who Can Stomach VUG’s Deep Drawdowns VUG best suits investors with at least a decade ahead of them. They should be able to sit through a drop like the financial crisis’s 51% decline without selling.
Concentration helps explain why declines run so deep. The fund’s largest positions are NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) at 14%, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) at 12% and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) at 10%, making up 36% of the fund. That concentration makes a deep fall more likely but does nothing to speed up recovery, which depends on those companies continuing to grow earnings.
Investors near retirement, or those who know they would sell in a crash, may want to research SPY’s smaller loss history. It fell 25% in the last bear market against VUG’s 36%, and investors who bought it at the late-2021 top are ahead today. Buying every month also changes these results, because shares bought during a loss cost less and bring the break-even date closer.

Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX -3.24%), better known as SpaceX, is planning to take on another $40 billion in debt, and investors don't like it. At all.
How do I know that?
Because the price of credit default swaps on SpaceX debt is soaring. Credit default swaps (CDSs) are a type of insurance policy that debt investors can purchase to protect against the risk of default on debt instruments. At the beginning of June, the CDS price to protect $1 million of SpaceX debt against default cost $11,000. That's per year. Today, the same CDS costs $19,400, a 76% increase.
That dramatic price increase means CDS providers are demanding much higher premiums to insure SpaceX debt because they see a rising risk of default.
SpaceX is seeking to borrow $40 billion -- $30 billion via bond issuance and another $10 billion from banks -- to buy chips from Nvidia (NVDA -0.19%). That new borrowing is on top of the $39.4 billion in debt and finance leases SpaceX had at the end of June. So the new borrowing would essentially double the company's debt.

SpaceX is borrowing despite sitting on an enormous pile of cash Oddly, the space technology and AI company led by Elon Musk had $100 billion in cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand at the end of June, the result of its $86 billion initial public offering earlier that month and $25 billion in bond issuance. But SpaceX is burning through that cash so quickly -- much of it on AI computing infrastructure -- that the company clearly sees the need to borrow more. And new debt financing that closes in 2027 would be timely for the company.
Of course, SpaceX is hardly the only AI company borrowing heavily to fund data centers and other AI infrastructure. Capital expenditures by so-called hyperscalers are expected to reach up to $800 billion this year and $1.2 trillion in 2027, a larger share of GDP than any technological investment cycle since the railroad build-out of the 1800s. That borrowing is expected to grow to $1.4 trillion in 2028. The massive spending spree exceeds these companies' cash flow from operations, so they need to raise enormous amounts in debt and equity markets.
But many investors and analysts are skeptical that SpaceX will be a major provider of AI or compete with the other hyperscalers in that area. Thus, the soaring price of insurance to protect against a SpaceX default.
SpaceX priced its IPO shares at $135 when it went public on June 12. After spiking above $200 in initial trading, shares are now trading around $162.

Musk certainly has grandiose dreams, as articulated in the SpaceX IPO registration, including "to make life multiplanetary," "to understand the true nature of the universe," and "to extend the light of consciousness to the stars." Also, "to harness the Sun to power a truth-seeking artificial intelligence that advances scientific discovery, and ultimately to build a base on the Moon and cities on other planets."
You might have to believe in Musk's dreams to invest in SpaceX's bonds or stock.
Nvidia (NVDA -0.15%) CEO Jensen Huang has never been shy about making bold predictions for artificial intelligence. And he's sticking with one of his biggest: that global AI infrastructure spending could reach $3 trillion to $4 trillion by 2030. That's an extraordinary amount of money, even for an industry where the biggest players are already spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year on building data centers and expanding computing capacity.
But there's an important distinction for investors. Huang isn't predicting that Nvidia will generate trillions of dollars in revenue. He's describing the potential size of the infrastructure build-out that could support the next generation of AI applications.
So, with expectations already running high and Nvidia stock recently hitting a new all-time high, is the stock still worth buying?
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Image source: Getty Images.
Nvidia has more than one way to benefit Nvidia's biggest advantage isn't simply that it makes powerful graphics processing units (GPUs). The company also supplies networking equipment, central processing units (CPUs), and software that help its customers build and operate AI data centers. That diverse portfolio allows Nvidia to capture a larger share of infrastructure spending than it could by selling GPUs alone.
Its new Vera Rubin architecture combines Vera CPUs, Rubin GPUs, high bandwidth memory, and high-speed connections designed to move information between processors and servers efficiently. Nvidia says the platform can improve the performance and efficiency of large AI systems. And those are two factors that matter enormously to companies spending vast sums on computing capacity.
Nvidia isn't standing still. The company is developing new chip architectures and integrated systems at an accelerated cadence, giving customers reasons to upgrade their equipment regularly as AI models become more demanding.

Could Nvidia fall short? Of course, Huang's forecast is a prediction, not a guarantee. And investors shouldn't assume Nvidia will capture any specific fixed percentage of the dollars being spent on AI infrastructure.
Advanced Micro Devices and Cerebras Systems are competing with Nvidia for a slice of the GPU business, while major cloud providers and large AI labs are partnering with specialist chip designers to develop custom AI processors that could reduce their dependence on Nvidia hardware for certain types of workloads. Amazon and Alphabet are among the hyperscalers that have developed their own processors, and they're continuing to refine those designs.
There's also the question of whether companies investing heavily in AI will generate enough profit to justify that spending. If returns on investment disappoint, data center expansion could slow. That's a legitimate concern, particularly for a company whose customers are making enormous investments based partly on their expectations of future demand for compute. It's one of the reasons why I've labeled this the "show me" phase of the AI build-out.
Why Nvidia stock is still a buy I think Nvidia remains a compelling long-term investment, even if Huang's $3 trillion to $4 trillion forecast proves too optimistic.
The company has established itself as a major supplier of the hardware and systems needed to build AI infrastructure, and its expanding product portfolio offers several avenues for continued spending.
Investors still need to consider the stock's valuation. But I wouldn't bet against Nvidia simply because its fastest growth years might be behind it. The AI infrastructure build-out has a long way to go.
Key Takeaways NVIDIA has begun Vera Rubin production, targeting 10 times Grace Blackwell's agent throughput at scale.NVDA expects Vera Rubin to contribute about 20% of Data Center revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2027.Major cloud providers are preparing deployments, but supply bottlenecks may persist through fiscal 2028.
NVIDIA Corporation’s (NVDA - Free Report) Vera Rubin platform could extend its lead in the artificial intelligence (AI) market by delivering greater computing performance and efficiency for increasingly complex AI workloads. Production of this next-generation platform has started, giving NVIDIA another opportunity to strengthen its position as businesses expand AI infrastructure.
The platform combines Rubin GPUs (graphics processing units), Vera CPUs (Central Processing Units), networking, storage and other components into integrated systems designed for large-scale AI factories. NVIDIA claims Vera Rubin can deliver 10 times the agent throughput of its previous Grace Blackwell platform at scale. Its production network spans more than 350 factories across 30 countries.
The growth opportunity is substantial. In the second quarter of fiscal 2027, NVIDIA’s revenues increased 106% year over year to $96.2 billion, while Data Center revenues climbed 117% to $89 billion. Management expects third-quarter revenues of $108 billion, plus or minus 2%, and anticipates Vera Rubin will contribute about 20% of Data Center revenues in the quarter.
Major cloud providers, including CoreWeave, Alphabet, Microsoft, Oracle and Nebius, are preparing to deploy the platform. These partnerships could help NVIDIA capture demand for AI agents that perform multi-step tasks, increasing the need for computing power.
Vera Rubin strengthens NVIDIA’s growth outlook. However, supply constraints could limit its ability to meet demand, while rising memory costs could pressure margins. Management expects supply to remain a bottleneck through at least fiscal 2028.
NVIDIA’s Rivals Advance Their AI Chip PlatformsAdvanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD - Free Report) is challenging NVIDIA with its Instinct GPUs and Helios rack-scale systems. AMD’s second-quarter 2026 revenues rose 50% year over year to $11.54 billion, while Data Center sales jumped 107% to $6.72 billion.
Advanced Micro Devices also plans to supply up to 2 gigawatts of MI450 GPUs to Anthropic, with the first deployment expected in the first half of 2027. This could make AMD a stronger alternative as customers seek more AI computing capacity.
Intel Corporation (INTC - Free Report) is also expanding its data-center business. Its second-quarter 2026 revenues rose 25% year over year to $16.13 billion, supported by demand for its processor products.
Intel is investing in its CPU, advanced packaging and manufacturing capabilities to capture more AI infrastructure spending. However, NVIDIA’s integrated GPU systems, networking and software ecosystem remain important advantages.
Advanced Micro Devices’ upcoming MI450 platform and Intel’s processor business offer customers more choices. Still, NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin ramp could help it maintain its lead if it delivers the promised performance and scales production smoothly.

NVIDIA's revenue is growing triple digits and analysts keep raising their targets, yet a closer look at supply constraints, export bans, and rising customer payment delays reveals how much uncertainty surrounds every dollar invested today.
A $1,000 investment in NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) starts from a assumed price of $230.48, and the shares recently traded near $229.47. This piece looks at what that stake could be worth by 2030.
NVIDIA is worth a long look because management expects revenue to grow about 70% next fiscal year, while the stock trades at about 46 times trailing earnings.
What $1,000 Could Become by 2030
The headline assumes 10% growth a year. The model’s central scenario is nearly the same, working out to 10.68% a year.
Its longest forecast runs to October 8, 2031, so every firm number below uses that five-year date. Under its central projection, a $1,000 investment could be worth about $1,660.70 by 2031, a total return of 66.07%. That assumes a share price of $382.76.
There are two rough markers for 2030 itself, and both are estimates taken from outside the model’s targets. On its projected path, the stock reaches $371.92 on October 8, 2030.
At that price, $1,000 would be worth about $1,613.68, a gain of roughly 61.37%. If you simply grow $1,000 by exactly 10% a year for four years, you get $1,464.10.

Its forecast has a confidence score of 0.9, rated high; its automated label, Buy, is not advice. Analysts are more upbeat. Analysts’ consensus target is $328.72. Ratings break down as 10 Strong Buys, 48 Buys, 2 Holds and 1 Sell.
Three Growth Drivers Behind the Base Case
Demand Is Running Ahead of Supply
Second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue was $96.22 billion, up 105.8% from a year earlier. Data Center sales were $89.02 billion. Guidance for the third quarter is $108 billion. Management says its roughly 70% growth outlook for fiscal 2028 is held back by supply.
Chief executive Jensen Huang said on the earnings call: “At this moment, we have supply for 70%. We have more supply than 70%, but about 70%. Our demand is much higher than that.”
Vera Rubin Brings In More Revenue per Gigawatt
Every new chip generation makes NVIDIA more per gigawatt of data-center capacity. Blackwell brings in $25 billion per gigawatt and Vera Rubin $40 billion per gigawatt. Customers are also spending more.
The five largest cloud providers are expected to spend nearly $800 billion on capital projects in 2026 and $1.3 trillion in 2027 (that expansion runs well beyond NVIDIA, which is why we rounded up seven infrastructure suppliers riding the same wave in a free AI infrastructure report).
Earnings Estimates Keep Rising
Analysts expect fiscal 2028 earnings of $15.6951 per share. Over the past 30 days, 46 analysts raised their estimates and 0 cut them.
The model’s own forward P/E is about 18. It also cuts its outlook for very large companies like NVIDIA, which is why its central projection looks modest next to the company’s growth rate.
Risks That Could Shrink Your Returns
China: Guidance leaves out all China Data Center compute revenue because of export restrictions.
Commitments: NVIDIA has $279B in supply commitments and $108.5B in guarantees to AI cloud partners. Both depend on demand holding up.
Slower payments: Customers are taking longer to pay. Days sales outstanding rose to 60 days from 45.
Margins: Gross margin is expected to bottom in the fourth quarter at 71% to 72% as memory costs rise. NVIDIA also depends on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) to make its chips.
Volatility: The stock’s beta of 2.22 means it tends to swing much more than the overall market. AI stocks, NVIDIA included, recently fell on a report about OpenAI’s revenue.
Even so, the worst scenario still leaves $1,000 at $1,171.20. A deeper AI spending slowdown could push results below every scenario shown here.
What This Means for Your $1,000
A $1,000 NVIDIA stake is estimated at $1,171.20 to $2,108 by late 2031, with a base case of $1,660.70.
Any figure for 2030 is a rough marker taken from that path. These scenarios has no guarantees. They depend on AI demand surviving supply limits and geopolitical risk. It is a projection, not investment advice.

Amazon is reportedly closing in on a $7 billion deal for a startup with barely 100 employees and no disclosed revenue, and the real prize has nothing to do with the flashy video models everyone is talking about.
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN | AMZN Price Prediction) is reported to be in talks to pay around $7 billion for Decart, a company with about 100 employees and no disclosed revenue. The talks were reported on October 11, 2026, and no deal had been announced as of October 12, 2026. Amazon and Decart both declined to comment, and the deal could still fall apart or draw another bidder.
Amazon shares closed at $259.53 on October 12, a session move of -1.11%, so the market did not treat the reported talks as an obvious win. The price only makes sense if you value Decart as a way to move AI developers off Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) software, which is worth far more to Amazon than its video models.
Two Businesses Inside One Small Startup Decart’s visible business is real-time generative video. Its Oasis model generates interactive worlds, and Lucy edits live video as it plays.
The second business is the Decart Optimization Stack. It is software that makes AI models run faster and cheaper on Nvidia GPUs, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) TPUs, and Amazon’s Trainium chips without rebuilding the model for each chip. That’s what Amazon would most likely pay for if the talks lead to a deal.
Nvidia’s CUDA software, the programming layer most AI models are written and tuned for, is the main reason developers stay on Nvidia hardware, and Amazon has built Trainium for years, but getting customers to port their models has proven harder than building the chip.
Amazon became a Decart strategic customer in May 2026. Chief executive Dean Leitersdorf has said Trainium3 runs Decart’s models at half the cost of GPUs, a claim the company made about its own results.
A Small Price for a $2.80 Trillion Company Against Amazon’s $2.80 trillion market value, the reported price is small. Amazon spent $54.2 billion on capital expenditures (data centers and equipment) in the second quarter of 2026 alone.
Its chips business passed a $25 billion annualized revenue run rate that quarter. If Decart’s software could shift even a small share of AI workloads onto Trainium, the saved Nvidia margin could cover the reported price.
A Rival Looked at Decart and Walked Away Anthropic reportedly considered a Decart deal at about $6 billion in August and walked away after due diligence in September. A sophisticated buyer passed at a lower price than the one now being discussed, for reasons that went unreported.
Decart has not disclosed revenue, and the only outside estimate puts it at several tens of millions of dollars. That would make the reported price a very high multiple of Decart’s sales.
The reported figure is about 75% higher than the May 2026 round, which raised $300 million led by Radical Ventures. An earlier round valued Decart at $3.1 billion.
Nvidia is also a Decart investor, which complicates the idea that a deal would be a move against Nvidia, and nothing reported explains how the price splits between video and optimization, as there has been no announcement, no disclosed terms, and no regulatory filing.
What the Decart Talks Mean for Amazon’s Investment Case The Decart talks change little about Amazon’s investment case. That case rests on AWS revenue of $42.2 billion, up 36.7% year over year in the second quarter, plus a backlog of $496 billion.
The stock trades at a forward P/E of 24x. The average analyst target of $331.53 stands well above the October 12 close, which suggests analysts expect AWS growth to have the shares regardless of Decart.
If the talks produce a deal, Decart would give Trainium useful software support. If they collapse, Amazon would still have its existing customer relationship with Decart, so the downside for shareholders looks limited.
Watch whether Amazon announces a signed agreement before its next earnings report and whether it discloses Trainium adoption figures on that call. No deal and no new Trainium customers would weaken the case that Trainium can compete with Nvidia.

French cloud provider Scaleway said on Tuesday it would open a new AI computing site in Copenhagen, running on chips from Nvidia (NVDA.O).
It is the company's second expansion announcement of the day, after it said it would build an AMD-powered supercomputer in Sweden. The moves will boost Scaleway's computing capacity in northern Europe, targeting European businesses that want their AI work hosted under EU law.
"Access to high-performance computing for AI is becoming a strategic priority for European organizations," Scaleway CEO Damien Lucas said in a statement.
The machines will use the Nvidia HGX B300 system built around Nvidia's latest-generation AI chips. Scaleway said Copenhagen was chosen for its tech sector, low-carbon electricity and cool climate which cuts the energy needed for cooling.
Scaleway already serves Danish customers, including the City of Copenhagen and AI firm Corti, it said.
According to the latest estimates, the last Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) dividend of 2026 is coming just after Christmas.
Specifically, if the predictions are correct, the chipmaker will reward shareholders on December 26. The ex-dividend date is not yet known.
The estimated timeframe follows that of 2025, when investors as of December 4 received their quarterly Nvidia stock dividend on December 26.
Unlike last year, however, this year’s payout is most likely to be significantly higher, thanks to Nvidia’s new share dividend program.
Specifically, if the figure remains unchanged from the previous two quarters paid on June 26 and October 1, respectively, shareholders are going to receive $0.25 per share, as per Dividend.com data.
Nvidia dividend schedule. Source: Dividend.com
Accordingly, 100 NVDA shares are going to net exactly $25 in passive quarterly income. Based on the current NVDA stock price of $226, a 100-share investment would be worth $22,600.
To qualify for $100 in dividends, investors would thus need 400 NVDA shares in their portfolio. At the aforementioned stock price, such a position would be valued at $90,400.
The results of increased Nvidia dividends
As mentioned, Nvidia recently increased its dividend payment quite significantly. For comparison, in the first quarter of 2026, investors received only $0.01 per share.
The decision was part of CEO Jensen Huang’s roadmap for $1 trillion worth of orders for the next-generation Blackwell and Rubin platforms through 2027.
Even excluding the fourth-quarter payment, the results of the boosted dividend are more than apparent.
Notably, Nvidia has paid $0.51 per share so far in 2026. In the whole of 2025, however, the company issued only $0.04 per share.
If the next payout also lands at $0.25, shareholders will have received $0.76 per share in annualized Nvidia dividends, which is a 1,800% increase from last year.

Nvidia (NVDA -1.08%) is no stranger to making bold calls, and its visionary CEO Jensen Huang has made many of them in his time. However, this may be the boldest one yet. Over the past year, he has repeatedly told investors that the company expects up to $4 trillion in data center capital expenditures annually by 2030. The low end of that range is $3 trillion, so there is still a ton of growth ahead in this industry.
While that may seem like a wild and far-off projection, it's likely not. Nvidia has more information about the trends of the artificial intelligence (AI) computing market than most investors, and sometimes it's better to let the experts do the talking for you and then invest based on what they say.
Image source: Nvidia.
Nvidia is in a great position to know what's going on Nvidia is the primary AI computing unit supplier to customers of all shapes and sizes. Its graphics processing units (GPUs) and the various products that support them are synonymous with AI computing, and every new AI computing device that launches is immediately compared to Nvidia's products. That's a great spot to be in, and Nvidia just raised the bar once again with its new Vera Rubin chip architecture. This will keep Nvidia in the driver's seat and allow it to issue bold calls like the $3 trillion to $4 trillion call it issued.
None of the AI hyperscalers are getting as much computing power as they want, and many are seriously compute-constrained right now. Several of the cloud computing giants have a backlog totaling $500 billion or more, and they desperately need more computing power. These firms have ambitious growth plans, and if they stand up a new data center and have no chips to put in it, it's a waste of time.

So, these companies are likely sharing their five-year plans and growth trajectories with Nvidia so that it can properly size its supply chain to provide them computing units when they need them. This gives Nvidia visibility into multiple years of growth and gives Huang the confidence he needs to issue a bold proclamation like that.
We're already seeing evidence of Nvidia's comfort in forecasting revenue well ino the future, as the company issued guidance for 70% revenue growth for fiscal year (FY) 2028 (ending January 2028, encompassing most of 2027). That guidance was given because Nvidia knows it's likely maximizing its production rates next year, and it won't be able to deliver much better growth than that.
While demand beyond FY 2028 isn't as clear, it's still visible enough for Nvidia to issue its full projection. But what does that mean for the stock?
None of this growth is priced in The reality is that none of this monster growth to reach $3 trillion to $4 trillion in global data center capital expenditures annually is priced into Nvidia's stock. Nvidia trades for just 29 times trailing earnings right now -- a pretty cheap price tag considering its impressive growth. None of 2027's projected 70% growth is priced into the stock, let alone whatever it will see in 2028 and beyond.
This could be a major advantage for long-term investors, and buying shares now could result in very strong returns. The reality is that Nvidia will be one of the best stocks to own over the next few years as AI build-outs ramp up, and that will result in many satisfied investors who buy the stock now. Nvidia tops the short list of best stocks to buy now, and I think investors will be highly rewarded by taking a position in the stock while it's still cheap.

The WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap ETF (EPS - Free Report) was launched on 02/23/2007, and is a smart beta exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value category of the market.
What Are Smart Beta ETFs?The ETF industry has traditionally been dominated by products based on market capitalization weighted indexes that are designed to represent the market or a particular segment of the market.
A good option for investors who believe in market efficiency, market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns.
However, some investors believe in the possibility of beating the market through exceptional stock selection, and choose a different type of fund that tracks non-cap weighted strategies: smart beta.
These indexes attempt to select stocks that have better chances of risk-return performance, based on certain fundamental characteristics or a combination of such characteristics.
While this space offers a number of choices to investors, including simplest equal-weighting, fundamental weighting and volatility/momentum based weighting methodologies, not all these strategies have been able to deliver superior results.
Fund Sponsor & IndexEPS is managed by Wisdomtree, and this fund has amassed over $1.68 billion, which makes it one of the average sized ETFs in the Style Box - Large Cap Value. EPS, before fees and expenses, seeks to match the performance of the WisdomTree U.S. Earnings 500 Index.
The WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Index is a fundamentally weighted index that measures the performance of earnings-generating companies within the large-capitalization segment of the U.S. Stock Market.
Cost & Other ExpensesWhen considering an ETF's total return, expense ratios are an important factor. And, cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins in the long term if all other factors remain equal.
Operating expenses on an annual basis are 0.08% for this ETF, which makes it one of the least expensive products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.10%.
Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsMost ETFs are very transparent products, and disclose their holdings on a daily basis. ETFs also offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, though it's still important for investors to research a fund's holdings.
For EPS, it has heaviest allocation in the Information Technology sector --about 37.8% of the portfolio --while Financials and Healthcare round out the top three.
When you look at individual holdings, Nvidia Corp (NVDA) accounts for about 7.82% of the fund's total assets, followed by Amazon.com Inc (AMZN) and Google Inc (GOOGL).
The top 10 holdings account for about 38.94% of total assets under management.
Performance and RiskThe ETF has gained about 16.1% and is up about 22.39% so far this year and in the past one year (as of 10/13/2026), respectively. EPS has traded between $66.22 and $81.81 during this last 52-week period.
The fund has a beta of 0.95 and standard deviation of 13.84% for the trailing three-year period, which makes EPS a medium risk choice in this particular space. With about 505 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk .
AlternativesWisdomTree U.S. LargeCap ETF is an excellent option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Large Cap Value segment of the market. There are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider as well.
Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) tracks Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index and the Vanguard Morningstar Value ETF (VTV) tracks CRSP U.S. Large Cap Value Index. Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF has $110.85 billion in assets, Vanguard Morningstar Value ETF has $188.6 billion. SCHD has an expense ratio of 0.06% and VTV changes 0.03%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Large Cap Value

This provides another indication of long-term infrastructure demand. Bitdeer expands Malaysia AI campus Neutral Sentiment: NVIDIA is reportedly considering a larger investment in or acquisition of open-weight AI startup Reflection AI. The move could broaden NVIDIA’s software and model ecosystem, but discussions are preliminary and could fail to produce a deal. NVIDIA and Reflection AI talks Neutral Sentiment: Analysts and commentators remain divided: some argue triple-digit growth makes NVDA reasonably valued and see further upside, while others point to technical signs of a potential peak, a roughly $5.5 trillion valuation, and concentration risk in AI-related equities. Negative Sentiment: Microsoft said it plans to rely increasingly on its internally developed Maia chips for AI inference, potentially reducing its dependence on NVIDIA GPUs and intensifying competition from hyperscaler-designed silicon. Microsoft to rely more on Maia chips Negative Sentiment: Reports that OpenAI’s annualized revenue may be about $50 billion—below previously cited estimates—have raised questions about AI spending, infrastructure demand and the valuation of AI suppliers. Separately, Firmus’ canceled data-center IPO suggested financing conditions for AI infrastructure could be tightening.

Microsoft (MSFT +1.14%) now has a third generation of its own artificial intelligence (AI) chip. The tech giant announced Maia 300 on Monday and said it will ramp up its Maia chips starting in 2027 to make them the main system running AI in its own products.
That might sound like trouble for Nvidia (NVDA -1.29%). The AI chip leader gets around half its revenue from big cloud companies like Microsoft, a group it calls hyperscale customers.
But I don't think the news matters much for Nvidia shares. The company's quarterly revenue is over five times what it was right before Microsoft's first Maia chip launched in late 2023. And Microsoft still buys Nvidia's chips.
Image source: Nvidia.
A narrow role for MaiaIn the announcement, Microsoft said it will make Maia "the primary inference system for Microsoft products and services." Inference means using an AI model once it's been trained.
Microsoft also said it expects Maia 300 to generate 40% more tokens (units of AI output) per megawatt than top systems built around graphics processing units, the type of chip Nvidia sells. Still, that's Microsoft's own estimate for a chip that isn't set to start production deployments until 2027.
Meanwhile, CEO Satya Nadella said on Microsoft's July earnings call that the company will be one of the first cloud providers to deploy Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin systems. Management guided for capital expenditures of over $50 billion in the quarter that ended in September.
That would be up from $41 billion in Microsoft's fiscal fourth quarter of 2026 (the period ended June 30, 2026), which was itself up from $24.2 billion a year before. Around two-thirds of that quarter's spending went toward shorter-lived assets, mostly chips.
Nvidia's growth hasn't slowedThe first Maia chip launched in November 2023, and Maia 200 followed in January 2026. In the quarter ending right before the first one came out, Nvidia's fiscal third quarter of 2024 (the period ended Oct. 29, 2023), revenue was $18.1 billion.
Showing how little in-house chips have slowed Nvidia since then, the company took in $96.2 billion in the fiscal second quarter of 2027 (the period ended July 26, 2026). That was up 106% year over year -- faster than the 85% growth in fiscal Q1. Earnings per share jumped 128%. What's more, hyperscale customers, the ones with the most reason to buy fewer Nvidia chips, more than doubled their spending to $48.7 billion.
Nvidia's fiscal Q3 guidance of around $108 billion points to growth of about 89%. And for fiscal 2028, chief financial officer Colette Kress said on the August earnings call that the company expects revenue to rise about 70% -- a forecast she described as held back by supply. Fiscal 2028 includes most of 2027, the year Microsoft plans to start ramping Maia up.
But what if more customers follow?True, Amazon and Alphabet design their own AI chips, too. And Nvidia's sales are concentrated, with one direct customer making up 16% of revenue in fiscal Q2. If its top buyers shifted most of their AI work to their own chips, Nvidia's growth could slow quickly.
But Nvidia's sales outside the hyperscale group are growing even faster. Revenue from its other data center customers (AI cloud providers, businesses, and governments) climbed 138% year over year to $40.3 billion. Hyperscale customers' share of data center revenue dropped from around 59% a year earlier to about 55%.
On Nvidia's August earnings call, CEO Jensen Huang described many custom chips as "inference-specific chips for one cloud or one service." He called Nvidia's product "an entire AI factory platform that spans the entire AI life cycle that you can use in any cloud."
I'd say Maia matches his description. Microsoft built it to power Microsoft's products.

In the end, custom chips like Maia might take some work from Nvidia. But the stock arguably isn't priced as if Nvidia will keep all of it.
Shares trade near $226 as of this writing, about 6% off the record close they set on Oct. 6. That price is about 14 times what analysts expect Nvidia to earn on average in fiscal 2028 (the 12 months through January 2028). For Microsoft's fiscal 2028 (ending June 2028), the same number is about 23 times earnings.
I think Nvidia's price is cheap for a company still guiding for growth around 90%. It remains the chip stock I'd consider buying now.
Microsoft is back in the $4 trillion market cap club, and Yahoo Finance's Dan Howley breaks down the Maia 300, the company's latest in-house AI chip, due to roll out in 2027. Microsoft says the chip beats widely available GPU-based systems in certain applications and plans multiple gigawatt-scale deployments, part of a push already seen at Google and Amazon to reduce dependence on Nvidia and AMD.
Pick almost any frontier of anything from modern tech, search, or advertising, cloud computing, self-driving cars, or quantum physics, and odds are Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (GOOG +0.32%) or Nvidia (NVDA -1.29%) is already standing in it. Split $10,000 between the two today, and you aren't just buying a search engine and a chipmaker. You are betting that the next five years of computing will be built largely on top of what these two companies are shipping right now.

Nvidia's second-quarter data center revenue hit $89 billion, up 117% from a year earlier. Data center revenue is simply the money Nvidia makes selling chips to the massive server farms that power AI, the physical buildings packed with computers that run everything from ChatGPT to online search and AI features. That growth came largely from Blackwell Ultra, Nvidia's current flagship chip family, ramping into the build-outs of nearly every major cloud provider on earth, meaning companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet are all buying Nvidia hardware to stock the data centers they rent out to businesses and AI developers.
Nvidia has already moved past Blackwell in conversation, too. Its newer chip platform, called Vera Rubin, is now in full production and promises up to 10 times lower cost per AI token than Blackwell delivered. In short, a token is roughly a chunk of text an AI model processes, so a lower cost per token means it gets meaningfully cheaper to run AI software at scale, which matters enormously for whether AI companies can eventually turn a profit. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has laid out a path to $1 trillion in cumulative sales from Blackwell and Rubin combined between 2025 and 2027 alone, according to The Information. That figure would have sounded like science fiction five years ago.
Then there's another bet: quantum computing. Nvidia doesn't build quantum processors itself, but its NVQLink technology now connects quantum hardware directly to Nvidia's GPU supercomputers, and nearly every serious quantum player, from IonQ to national research labs, has started building on top of it.

Alphabet
Alphabet's core advertising and search business remains the cash engine funding everything else, but "everything else" has gotten remarkably interesting. According to Tech Crunch, Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving unit, now completes 500,000 paid robotaxi rides every week across 10 U.S. cities, up tenfold in under two years, and it's targeting 1 million weekly rides across 20 cities by the end of 2026, including its first international markets. Waymo just upsized its first-ever debt offering to $5 billion specifically to fund that global expansion, a sign Alphabet is treating this less like a moonshot experiment and more like a business it intends to scale aggressively.
On the quantum side, Alphabet's Willow chip completed a benchmark computation in under five minutes that would take today's fastest supercomputers an estimated 10 septillion years, a number so large it stops meaning anything useful except "a lot." Google has begun offering early access to Willow to external researchers, a step toward figuring out what a chip that fast is actually good for commercially. Layer Gemini's ongoing push into search, cloud, and enterprise AI tools on top of that, and Alphabet looks like a conglomerate that happens to also sell ads.

Running the numbers
Alphabet trades around $354 per share, and Nvidia sits closer to $230 per share. Split $10,000 evenly between them, $5,000 each, and that buys roughly 14.1 shares of Alphabet and about 21.8 shares of Nvidia. Nothing fancy there, just simple division, but it's worth actually doing the math rather than treating these as abstract tickers, because 14 shares of one company and 22 of another is a very different feeling than a lump sum sitting in an account.
Where this gets fun is projecting forward. Picture a steadier path first: Alphabet climbing to around $450 a share by 2030 as its cloud and AI businesses keep maturing, and Nvidia reaching roughly $500 as the Blackwell-to-Rubin transition plays out reasonably well. Under that scenario, the original $10,000 grows to somewhere around $17,245, not a moonshot, but a healthy return for five years of patience. Now picture the more optimistic version, the one where Waymo's robotaxi expansion actually hits its stride, Nvidia's quantum partnerships start paying off, and both companies keep compounding closer to their best-case potential. Alphabet near $650 and Nvidia near $900 would push that same $10,000 up toward $28,785, nearly triple the original stake.
It's easy for me to say this. Remember, Nvidia's valuation already assumes years of AI spending keep accelerating, and Alphabet faces its own regulatory overhang from years of antitrust scrutiny in both the U.S. and Europe. Betting on both doesn't eliminate that risk; it just diversifies which frontier-tech story has to keep working.
Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report) ended the recent trading session at $226.44, demonstrating a -1.24% change from the preceding day's closing price.

The S&P 500 (^GSPC -0.06%) has had a great year so far. The average annual return of the S&P 500 is about 10%, and with it sitting at about 14.5% right now, it has been a good year. There are still a few months left, so the chances of it ending up even higher are quite good.
While the S&P 500 as a whole is doing well, a few individual performers stand out. Sandisk holds the title for best-performing S&P 500 stock this year, rising about 590% in 2026. Intel is another top performer, increasing nearly 200% so far this year. There are a handful of companies that also have had strong runs, including AMD.
So, which stock will lead the S&P 500 higher next year? I think it will be a familiar face, and it won't be one of these three.

Some stocks have gotten ahead of themselves With the returns some stocks are delivering this year, it's pretty easy to guess that next year may not be as kind to these stocks. Many companies have far outgrown their business results and are trading at inflated valuations, such as Intel and AMD. These two trade for 70 and 81 times forward earnings, respectively. This showcases just how expensive they are. Others, like Sandisk, operate in a cyclical market, and the stock market is wary of giving it a standard valuation due to fears of the memory chip industry seeing a cyclical downturn.

Regardless, there are a handful of stocks that were abandoned to pave the way for these to rise, and the most obvious one is Nvidia (NVDA -1.29%). Nvidia led the S&P 500 in performance during 2023 and 2024, and I think it has a strong shot at leading it again in 2027. Why? Its stock has been ignored compared to some of its peers.
Nvidia is dirt cheap compared to its peers It's hard to say that the largest company in the world by market cap isn't getting a fair shake, but that's exactly what's happening. As mentioned above, AMD trades at over 80 times forward earnings. Nvidia trades at 25.

These two companies operate in the same industry (namely, graphics processing units, or GPUs), and Nvidia is growing its data center business (the segment most exposed to artificial intelligence (AI)) at a faster pace. In Q2, Nvidia's data center division grew at a 117% pace to $89 billion. AMD's data center division grew at a 107% pace to $6.7 billion. Nvidia is still winning, and there's no reason to give AMD a ridiculous premium as a result.
Another factor is that the market hasn't priced in practically any of 2027's growth into Nvidia's stock price. The S&P 500 trades for about 20 times forward earnings. The slight premium Nvidia now commands is worth it given its positioning in the AI boom and strong track record of performance. However, Nvidia is also expected to grow its revenue by 70% next year. But Nvidia's current 25 times forward earnings valuation implies that its stock will grow at a market-average pace next year (about 10%).

That's a major mismatch, and I think it suggests Nvidia is poised for an exceptional year and could lead the S&P 500 in performance. While there could be others that sneak up on investors and outperform Nvidia, Nvidia is one of the few companies that has given investors high visibility into its future growth. Management has undergirded nearly every step along the way, so this 70% growth could also be a major undershoot.
With Nvidia expected to grow revenue by 70% or more next year, I think it's a no-brainer buy right now.
Nvidia (NVDA -1.29%) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD -2.28%) are similar companies. While AMD's consumer business is larger and it has a wider product lineup, these two compete head-to-head in arguably the most important technological battle in the world: GPUs for artificial intelligence computing. While Nvidia stormed out to an early lead at the start of the AI boom in 2023, AMD has clawed its way back and is offering viable products that could serve as an alternative to Nvidia's product lineup.
If you ask the market, AMD is clearly winning the battle and stealing market share, which is why its stock has nearly tripled in 2026, compared with Nvidia's 23% gain. But this mismatch in stock performance has caused the two stocks' valuations to uncouple.
This could be a huge warning flag for one (or both) of the stocks, and investors must understand what's going on and take proper action.

AMD's valuation has gotten out of control
Over the past few years, Nvidia and AMD's valuations have been fairly in line with each other, outside of the last six months.
AMD PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts
Since the end of spring, AMD's stock has been on an absolute tear, reaching heights never seen before. It now has a market cap of about $1 trillion, but does it actually deserve it? The question of what a fair price is for AMD's stock is tricky. AMD is doing its best since the AI boom kicked off in 2023.
AMD Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YCharts
Its profit margins are at recent highs, and its growth rate is reaching new levels. That has caused the market to reprice AMD's stock, as it deserved, but the level it has reached seems a bit extreme. Although AMD is doing the best it's ever done, it's still nowhere near where Nvidia is now. And that's the major problem with AMD's stock.
AMD isn't priced correctly
During Nvidia's last quarter, it grew revenue at a 106% pace and reached a projected margin of 62%. That makes it a far stronger company than AMD, and from that information alone, there's no reason to bet on AMD over Nvidia.

Next year, AMD is expected to close the gap, but not by a huge margin. The average Wall Street analyst expects Nvidia revenue to grow at a 68% pace to $692 billion next year. AMD's revenue growth is expected to be about 75%, reaching $89 billion. So, AMD is expected to overtake Nvidia's growth rate, but with the two only a few percentage points apart, that's really not much of a separation.
As a result, AMD and Nvidia will likely be on par in terms of business performance next year.
If two stocks are comparable in business performance and operate in the same industry, I'd argue they should be priced the same. However, that's not the case. Investors must decide whether to stick with AMD's stock and potentially realize gains or switch to Nvidia's stock, which is undervalued. If next year's earnings projections are used, Nvidia's stock looks like a bargain deal, while AMD's looks expensive.
AMD PE Ratio (Forward 1y) data by YCharts
Even if AMD's 2027 earnings projections are used, it's still more expensive than Nvidia's stock is right now. That means there are about two years' worth of growth priced into the stock, but none is priced in for Nvidia. That makes Nvidia the far safer bet here, and if you have AMD shares, I think the smart move is to take the phenomenal gains the market has given you and swap them for Nvidia before it can continue its incredible rise.
TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS), a leader in next-generation power semiconductors and power delivery solutions, pioneering GaN, high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage SiC, and IVR technologies, today announced its latest 24 kW, 800 V-to-12 V DC-DC power delivery board (PDB), powered by GaNFast™ technology and developed in collaboration with NVIDIA, to support the NVIDIA MGX ecosystem and advance 800 VDC power architectures for AI data centers. The new PDB is planned to be featured on NVIDIA’s AI Factory MGX Wall partner display area at OCP Global Summit 2026.
This latest 24 kW, 800 V-to-12 V PDB extends Navitas’ portfolio of 800 VDC AI data-center platforms, building on the previously announced 20 kW, 800 V-to-6 V PDB developed in collaboration with NVIDIA. These solutions advance the core strategic focus of the Navitas 2.0 transformation to accelerate the replacement of legacy silicon with next-generation GaN and SiC high-power technologies across AI infrastructure, from Grid-to-xPU.
The PDB is capable of delivering 24 kW with a target efficiency of 97% at full load and a power density exceeding 2,000 W/in³, providing power for the entire compute tray. Designed in NVIDIA’s latest 400 mm × 60 mm form factor, the PDB can be integrated onto the compute motherboard as close as possible to the xPUs, minimizing power-delivery losses and supporting high-power demands.
The single-stage architecture converts 800 VDC directly to 12 VDC, eliminating the existing 50 V-to-12 V IBC conversion stage and delivering 12 V directly to the voltage regulator module (VRM) that powers the xPU. This simplified power architecture improves system efficiency and reliability while reducing power losses, board space and overall power-delivery complexity.
The power architecture incorporates 16 × NV6034 (650 V, 18 mΩ) GaNFast™ FETs on the primary side, configured in a stacked half-bridge topology and featuring Navitas’ latest dual-cooled DFN 8 × 8 package.
“The next era of AI will be defined not only by how much compute we can create but by our ability to deliver the power needed to unleash its full potential,” said Chris Allexandre, President and CEO of Navitas. “Our collaboration with NVIDIA is breaking the AI infrastructure power wall by reimagining power delivery from 800 VDC to the GPU. This next-generation 24 kW solution demonstrates how GaNFast™ technology can eliminate power-conversion stages, increase efficiency and power density, and bring power closer to the GPU.”
Navitas’ portfolio of 800 VDC AI data-center platforms provides customers with greater flexibility to select the optimal intermediate-bus voltage and VRM architecture for their point-of-load power requirements.
The 800 V-to-12 V PDB is planned to be showcased at the NVIDIA AI Factory MGX Wall partner display area at OCP Global Summit 2026. For more information, please contact your Navitas representative or email [email protected].

Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks have been soaring in value in recent years, with Nvidia (NVDA -1.21%) leading the charge. The chip giant is worth a massive $5.4 trillion, as its products are crucial for many tech companies looking to stay ahead of the competition.
The opportunities are enormous, but what doesn't get nearly as much attention are the risks. It's not just the debt that many tech companies are piling on that is a concern, but as AI advances and tech is doing more for people and businesses than it did before, there are also significant risks related to automation. What could derail AI stocks is the risk that AI agents pose to both the companies that develop them and the customers relying on them.
Image source: Getty Images.
There have been multiple reports about AI agents not staying within their confines, which is a growing issue in the tech sector. One of the most high-profile events included OpenAI agents launching a cyberattack against Hugging Face a few months ago. The company is now facing a lawsuit due to that.
There are multiple issues stemming from this type of risk. First is the obvious one -- a company can face high legal costs if its agents go rogue and cause harm. In addition, OpenAI will need to spend more time and money to develop agents more carefully to ensure the risks are minimal in the future. And even then, there may still be concerns if it has done enough.
The second issue is that companies may be less willing to deploy agents if there is the potential for these types of situations. Even if an agent doesn't attack another company, it may still improperly use or share confidential data. If a company has to spend additional efforts on safeguarding its assets, it would make investments in AI even more costly. At a time when spending on AI is already under scrutiny, companies may balk at the idea, especially if there are doubts about the potential payoff.
The result could be a slowdown of demand, which could derail the bull story around not only Nvidia but also other AI stocks.

Nvidia is a top growth stock to own, so long as the AI growth story is a promising one. But if there are any cracks in it, or if there are signs that companies are beginning to pull back on AI-related spending, that can wreak havoc on Nvidia's growth and its valuation.
Currently, the stock looks cheap as it's trading at just 25 times its estimated future profits. But that's based on analyst expectations of how it will do in the future. If those expectations unravel, the stock may not look nearly as cheap and attractive anymore, and that may be the case for many other stocks as well.
Investors should consider the risks related to AI before deciding whether to buy Nvidia or any other stock, as ignoring them could prove costly down the road.
Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, XETRA:NVD) shares fell 1% to $226.55, down $2.73, after Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) unveiled a new artificial intelligence chip that threatens to reduce its reliance on the graphics processor maker.
Microsoft, the software and cloud computing giant, introduced its third-generation Maia 300 processor on Monday, targeting lower costs and greater efficiency in running AI workloads across its products and services.
The chip is designed to deliver 40% more tokens per megawatt than leading graphics processing unit (GPU) systems, with a configuration of 96 accelerators offering up to seven times the rack-scale throughput of its predecessor, Maia 200.
Microsoft plans to begin deploying Maia 300 in production workloads in 2027 and scale its in-house chip programme to multi-gigawatt deployments, making Maia its primary system for AI inference, the process of running trained models to generate responses.
The move presents a potential competitive challenge for Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, whose processors have supplied much of the hardware used to run AI services, as cloud providers seek greater control over infrastructure costs and performance.
Microsoft already uses Maia 200 in production, including for Microsoft Copilot, and plans to extend its deployment across additional services as it develops its own AI models and infrastructure.
The Maia 300 uses a chiplet architecture built around Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's advanced manufacturing technology, separating computing, memory control and input-output functions to improve efficiency.
Nvidia's broader market position will depend on whether demand for AI computing continues to expand enough to offset customers developing their own alternatives, while Microsoft's planned rollout remains more than a year away.
Both AMD and NVIDIA just posted record Data Center quarters, and their next platforms are shipping months apart. That timing gap could decide which stock wins the rest of 2026.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) both posted record quarters this summer. At each company, Data Center did most of the work. NVIDIA reported $96.22B in revenue on August 26, 2026. AMD reported $11.54B on August 4, 2026. NVIDIA sells entire AI systems, while AMD is just launching its first rack-scale rival. With one quarter left in 2026, timing matters.
Rubin Is Shipping Now, Helios Is Just Getting Started NVIDIA’s Data Center segment brought in $89.02B, up 117% year over year. NVIDIA’s story is now almost entirely about AI infrastructure. Networking grew 138% to $40.31B, which shows customers are buying complete systems. Vera Rubin production shipments began in August 2026, and Jensen Huang put it simply: “Now, compute is revenue.”
AMD’s Data Center revenue reached $6.72B, up 107%. It now makes up 58% of total revenue, which means AMD is now mainly a server company. Lisa Su said “customer demand for Venice is stronger than for any prior EPYC generation.” Gaming fell 31% because of the console cycle, and that still weighs on the overall results.
Business Driver NVIDIA AMD Growth Engine Full-stack AI factories EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPUs Next Platform Vera Rubin, shipping since August Helios, first shipments in Q3 2026 Q3 Revenue Guide $108B +/- 2% ~$13B +/- $300M Weak Spot No China data center compute in outlook Gaming down 31% NVIDIA Raises Revenue per Gigawatt as AMD Competes on Cost NVIDIA says its revenue opportunity increases to $40 billion per gigawatt with Vera Rubin, up from $25 billion with Blackwell. Few hardware companies have that kind of pricing power. AMD says Helios delivers up to 30% more tokens per dollar than the competition. Anthropic will deploy up to two gigawatts of MI450 GPUs in Helios racks. However, the first gigawatt only begins deploying in the first half of 2027.
NVIDIA has weak spots too. Days sales outstanding extended to 60 days from 45, and Huang acknowledged that critics may call its funding of AI labs “circular financing.” NVIDIA and other AI stocks sank on an OpenAI revenue report on October 8.
November 17 Puts Vera Rubin on the Scoreboard NVIDIA reports again on November 17. I will be watching whether Vera Rubin makes about 20% of data center revenue in Q3 as forecast. I also want to see how investors react to gross margins that management expects to bottom at 71% to 72% in Q4. For AMD, keep an eye on the Helios step-up promised for Q4 2026 and on whether gross margin holds near 56%.
Why I Lean Toward NVIDIA to Finish 2026 AMD had an excellent quarter, but its stock has already rallied 183.95% year to date and trades near 40x forward earnings. NVIDIA trades closer to 25x after a 23.23% gain. It also has a platform already shipping and an earnings report before year-end. With so little time left in 2026, I prefer the company whose growth is showing up now.
Patient growth investors have a stronger case for AMD, because Helios, MI500 and the Anthropic volumes all arrive in 2027. The signs that tend to show up years before a monster chip run are the ones we cataloged in a free playbook, here. I would change my view if Helios scales faster than forecast, or if NVIDIA’s financing ties turn into credit trouble.

Microsoft plans to run most of its AI services on chips it designs itself, a shift that could save the company billions of dollars and reduce its dependence on industry juggernaut Nvidia.
The company on Monday unveiled Maia 300, the third generation of its custom AI chip, saying it will begin large-scale deployments in 2027. In a blog post, Azure chief Scott Guthrie said Maia will become “the primary AI inference system for Microsoft products and services.”
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella called it “our biggest bet yet on our own silicon” in a post on X.
Maia 300 will produce 40% more AI output for the same amount of power as leading GPU-based systems, which Nvidia dominates, according to the company.
A full rack of the new chips will produce up to seven times as much AI output as the current generation, the company says. They’re designed for the kinds of tasks that are growing fastest, such as AI agents that work through multistep jobs and models that handle long documents or conversations.
The Redmond company designs the chips and relies on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) to make them, rather than buying finished chips from Nvidia. More-efficient chips also let Microsoft run AI services using less electricity, at a time when power supply has become one of the biggest constraints on AI expansion.
Microsoft and Nvidia remain big partners. Nadella and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang shared the stage last week to launch Windows PCs built on Nvidia chips. Nvidia also remains a key supplier for Microsoft’s data centers, and Nadella said on the company’s July earnings call that Microsoft will be among the first cloud providers to deploy next-generation systems based on Nvidia’s Vera Rubin and AMD’s Helios.
Microsoft’s move is part of a larger trend among tech giants to design their own AI chips. Google has started selling its Tensor Processing Units directly to some customers, and Amazon has won over AI companies including Anthropic with its Trainium chips. Meta has rolled out its own AI chips, and OpenAI unveiled its first custom chip, built with Broadcom, in June.
Microsoft has been playing catch-up. Unlike Google’s and Amazon’s chips, Maia isn’t available for outside customers to rent. Microsoft’s first Maia chip, announced in 2023, was followed by a second-generation Maia 200 this January after delays. As of this summer, Maia 200 was running in just two U.S. data centers, The Information reported in August.
Maia 200, the current generation, already powers Microsoft 365 Copilot and runs models from OpenAI as well as Microsoft’s own. It’s now being deployed across the U.S., Europe and Australia, according to Microsoft. GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Foundry are set to move onto it by the end of the year.
The shift will take time. Evercore ISI analysts estimate that Maia will account for about 10% of Microsoft’s spending on AI chips by early 2027, CNBC reported.
Microsoft says it will share more details next month at its Ignite conference in San Francisco.
NVIDIA just doubled its revenue per gigawatt of AI capacity and posted triple-digit earnings growth, yet its stock has struggled to keep pace with the profits. A $350 price target sounds ambitious until you see what the math actually requires.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) now makes about $40 billion per gigawatt of AI capacity built on Vera Rubin, up from roughly $18 billion with Hopper. That shift is a big reason a company worth about $5.76 trillion may still have room to grow.
Shares are up 27.67% year to date. Over the same stretch, quarterly earnings grew 127.8% year over year. The stock has fallen behind the profits. So can NVIDIA reach $350 by October 2027?
What’s Holding NVIDIA Back Right Now
The stock gained 4.55% over the past week and 3.23% over the past month, modest moves for a business that just reported quarterly revenue of $96.22B, up 105.8%. Supply is the main constraint.
On the August call, management said, “Our entire supply chain is challenged.” Gross margin was 75% in Q2, but management expects 71% to 72% in Q4 because memory prices are rising. With a beta of 2.216, the stock swings about twice as much as the broader market.
Wall Street Sees 37% Upside, and I Think That’s Closer to Right
The consensus target is $328.72, or 37.4% upside. Ratings stand at 10 Strong Buys, 48 Buys, 2 Holds and 1 Sell. Our model is more cautious, with a base case of $276.74 (15.67% upside). Its range runs from $237.97 to $323.41, and it carries high confidence.
I think the model is too conservative. It cuts its adjustment in half because of NVIDIA’s size and gives earnings growth only a 0.03 contribution. Meanwhile, 95% of analysts are bullish, and fiscal 2028 EPS estimates got 46 upward revisions and zero cuts in the past 30 days.
Here’s What It Takes for NVIDIA to Reach $350
Reaching $350 from today’s price of $239.24 would require a gain of 46.3%.
With forward EPS of $13.0631, a price of $350 implies a forward P/E of 27x. Our base case already implies 34x on the model’s own math, so the $350 target actually sits 7 turns below that figure. Compared with today’s forward multiple, though, it needs about 8 turns of expansion.
I think that expansion is possible. Our 1.14 adjustment factor reflects a 1.15 technology sector multiplier and strong analyst support. Earnings growth also brings the multiple down quickly.
Based on fiscal 2028 consensus EPS of $15.6951, $350 works out to just 22x. Management expects about 70% revenue growth in fiscal 2028, even with supply limits.
The top five hyperscalers are expected to grow capex from nearly 800 billion in 2026 to 1.3 trillion in 2027. Jensen Huang said, “AI has reached its inflection point. It’s doing useful work. Its tokens are productive and profitable. Now, compute is revenue.”
The main risk is NVIDIA’s $279B in supply commitments, which would turn into a burden if AI spending pauses. That same expansion also runs through the power, cooling, and networking suppliers we profiled in a free report on seven AI infrastructure stocks that aren’t chipmakers.
Where NVIDIA Trades Today vs. Its Earnings Power
The stock trades at about 18x forward earnings, cheap for a company expecting growth near 70%.
Shares sit near the top of their 52-week range of $163.90 to $240.10, and the stock has returned 14383.2% over the past 10 years. Since the multiple has declined while earnings kept growing, there is room for the bull case to play out.
$350 Is a Stretch, but Here’s Why It’s Possible
Hitting $350 requires a 46.3% gain. I see it as a stretch, though an possible one. Supply has to ease, gross margins have to hold in the 72% to 73% range for fiscal 2028, and Vera Rubin has to deliver what management calls “the fastest product ramp in NVIDIA’s history.” A broad decline in hyperscaler spending would undermine the thesis.
Returns at this level shouldn’t be expected every year, but we’ve outlined the blueprint for how NVIDIA could reach $350 in 2027.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock could reach a $10 trillion market capitalization by the end of the decade, driven by its dominance in artificial intelligence (AI), according to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Based on a market capitalization of approximately $5.54 trillion and a share price of $229.28, Nvidia would need to gain about 80.5% to reach the milestone, assuming its share count remains broadly unchanged.
ChatGPT identified the second half of 2030 as its central estimate, with a potential window between 2029 and 2032.
At the current share price, Nvidia stock would need to rise to approximately $413.80 to reach the target.
Under different growth scenarios, Nvidia could reach $10 trillion around December 2030 with annual market capitalization growth of 15%, February 2030 at 20%, or July 2029 at 25%. At 30% annual growth, the milestone could arrive as early as January 2029.

Nvidia stock fundamentals
At the same time, ChatGPT noted that Nvidia’s latest results support the growth outlook. For the second quarter of fiscal 2027, ended July 26, the company reported revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% year over year.
Data-center revenue reached $89 billion, up 117%, while GAAP gross margin stood at 75% and GAAP earnings per share came in at $2.46.
For the third quarter, Nvidia guided for revenue of $108 billion and a GAAP gross margin of approximately 74%, plus or minus 0.5 percentage points.
Meanwhile, analysts project Nvidia’s fiscal 2027 revenue at $411.65 billion, rising to $692.21 billion in fiscal 2028, while earnings per share are expected to increase from $9.31 to $15.91. Reaching the $10 trillion milestone will depend on sustained AI demand and earnings growth.
Nvidia’s expansion
Continued AI computing demand could sustain earnings growth as Nvidia expands beyond GPUs into networking, CPUs, and integrated AI infrastructure.
In August 2026, the company announced plans with Amazon Web Services to deploy an additional two million GPUs across AWS infrastructure. Its next-generation Vera Rubin platform was also ramping into production.
However, these deployments will not translate into immediate revenue. Customer spending, product delivery and adoption will determine their financial impact.
On the other hand, Nvidia also faces risks from slower AI infrastructure spending, competition from AMD and custom chips, China export restrictions, and manufacturing constraints. Combined, these elements could derail the technology giant’s path to $10 trillion.
Steve Eisman warns that more than 65% of the S&P 500 is now tied to artificial intelligence, leaving investors far less diversified than they might think.
Yet the investor famous for The Big Short says he owns Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) and GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV), two major beneficiaries of the AI infrastructure boom.
“I own Nvidia, for example, and I watch and I worry,” he said in an interview with In the Money’s Amber Kanwar.
Suppliers Are Collecting the AI CashEisman favors companies receiving AI infrastructure spending over those financing the buildout.
“I would be looking at the companies that are getting that cash flow,” he said in an interview on Oct. 8.
Nvidia supplies the chips powering data centers. Its revenue rose 106% from a year earlier to $96.2 billion in the quarter ended July 26.
GE Vernova sells gas turbines and electrical equipment needed to power AI data centers. Its companywide backlog reached $176 billion at the end of June, while data-center orders in its Electrification business topped $5 billion in the first half of 2026, more than double its full-year 2025 total.
But Eisman is taking precautions. He has partially hedged four unnamed AI-related holdings while remaining mostly long.
He worries that OpenAI and Anthropic could struggle to finance their enormous commitments, potentially slowing spending throughout the supply chain.
The S&P 500’s Hidden AI ExposureEisman has long recommended buying the S&P 500 and leaving it alone. He now warns the index, tracked by the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY), provides limited protection against an AI downturn.
Information technology represents roughly 40% of the index by his count. Add Alphabet, Amazon and other technology-related companies, and the figure exceeds 50%.
Include utilities and industrial firms supplying AI infrastructure, and Eisman estimates exposure rises above 65%.
“It’s mostly all one trade. And to be perfectly frank, that makes me nervous,” he said in his podcast on Oct. 9.
The warning comes amid broader market pain. More than 40% of S&P 500 stocks have fallen in 2026, despite the index gaining roughly 14%, Reuters reported Monday.
Even bonds may offer limited shelter. Eisman estimates more than half of this year’s corporate bond issuance is AI-related, exposing lenders to the same investment cycle.
