The last 10 days proved an exceptionally busy period for the biggest Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock insider trader, as he, across two sales, dumped nearly $650 million worth of the semiconductor giant’s equity.
Indeed, on September 8, a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing revealed that Director Mark Stevens sold slightly more than 1 million NVDA shares at an average price of $230.51.

This signal is triggered upon the reporting of the trade to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
This stock market maneuver – which was executed five days earlier on September 3 – raised a total of $235.6 million.
Notably, Stevens executed the biggest Nvidia stock insider sale of the decade just days earlier when he dumped nearly $411 million worth of NVDA. Lastly, the prolific trader is responsible for 81.91% – $1.09 billion – of the $1.33 billion total raised in 2026 by the blue-chip chipmaker’s executives and other senior personnel.
Big tech stocks see elevated insider trading since August Meanwhile, the Nvidia stock insider selling is notable primarily because it is part of a wider trend in big tech.
Specifically, as recent weeks saw significant recovery from the sector-wide downturn that started in June following temporary highs, they also ushered in a period of extensive equity dumping.

Along with Nvidia, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR), and SanDisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) all saw major sales since early August, with AMZN and MSFT arguably being the most significant due to scale.
Why are big tech insiders selling stocks en masse? Overall, the insider activity is worth keeping in mind due to its generally heightened level amidst a market rebound, but also due to the continuous instability of the pivotal artificial intelligence (AI) boom.
Recent months have brought a relentless marketing campaign about the capabilities of new models and apparent breakthroughs across various fields, but also little in terms of measurable financial benefits and corporate experiments that ended in what appears, at best, akin to felony hacking.
Furthermore, the narratives have also been somewhat confusing, with Jensen Huang of Nvidia declaring that artificial general intelligence (AGI) has been achieved despite the significant divergence in the current definitions of AGI and, indeed, no known model fitting the general notion of AGI.
Lastly, the latest flood of insider selling comes ahead of a significant political risk for the AI ‘boom.’

Opposition to data center construction – one of the most profitable parts of the overall industry, even if for a small handful of companies – in the U.S. has been mounting ahead of the Midterms, meaning the results of the fight for Congress could significantly impact valuations.

NVIDIA has minted fortunes once before, and its latest earnings suggest the AI hardware machine is still accelerating. But ballooning supply commitments, margin pressure, and a China-shaped hole in its revenue raise a real question about what the next decade…
This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) has been the defining trade of the AI era. Over the past decade, the stock has returned a staggering 14,460.09%, turning a $10,000 stake into roughly $1.45 million.
The question every shareholder is asking now: can the next 10 years even come close? Our proprietary model says the next 12 months, at least, still point higher.
NVIDIA trades near $226.18 as of September 8, 2026. Our 24/7 Wall St. price target for NVIDIA is $308.85 over the next 12 months, implying 36.55% upside. Our recommendation is buy with high confidence.
Metric Value Current Price $226.18 24/7 Wall St. Price Target $308.85 Upside 36.55% Recommendation BUY Confidence Level 90% What Has Actually Happened This Year NVDA is up 21.23% year to date and 31.73% over the past year.
Fiscal Q2 FY27, reported August 26, 2026, delivered revenue of $96.22 billion (+105.85% YoY) and non-GAAP EPS of $2.22, the fifth consecutive beat. Data Center hit $89.02 billion (+117% YoY). Q3 guidance calls for revenue of $108 billion at 74% gross margins.
Meanwhile, supplier Wistron announced a $1.5 billion global stock sale this week, a reminder of how much capital is being raised across the NVIDIA ecosystem.
Why Bulls See a Path Well Above $350 CEO Jensen Huang told investors “AI is now doing productive and useful work” and that “our demand is much higher” than the 70% supply NVIDIA can currently deliver. Management guided fiscal 2028 revenue growth of approximately 70%, describing it as supply-constrained.
Vera Rubin, now in full production, generates a $40 billion revenue opportunity per gigawatt versus $25 billion for Blackwell. Top-5 hyperscaler capex is projected at nearly $800 billion in 2026 and $1.3 trillion in 2027. Our bull scenario points to $352.95, roughly in line with the Street-high target of $327.13.
What Could Go Wrong Guidance excludes any China Data Center compute revenue. Supply commitments swelled to $279 billion, largely memory for Vera Rubin, tying up cash. DSO extended from 45 to 60 days, and NVIDIA has extended $108.5 billion in guarantee obligations to AI cloud partners.
Gross margins are expected to bottom in Q4 at 71% to 72% on memory pricing. Our bear scenario lands at $260.50. Bulls would counter that the margin dip reflects the Vera Rubin ramp, which should re-expand margins as volumes normalize.
How NVIDIA Compares to AMD and Broadcom Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is the closest US-listed head-to-head competitor in AI accelerators. AMD posted Q2 2026 revenue of $11.54 billion (+50.11% YoY) with Data Center up 107%, but trades at a trailing P/E of 180 versus NVDA’s 46. On growth-adjusted valuation, NVDA looks cheaper, which supports our target.
Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) is the custom-accelerator alternative. AVGO’s Q3 AI semiconductor revenue reached $16.70 billion (+221% YoY), with Q4 guided to $21.7 billion. Growth is comparable, but Broadcom’s opportunity is narrower and customer-specific. That relative concentration makes NVDA’s platform breadth look more defensible for our $308.85 target.
Company P/E Latest Revenue Growth NVIDIA 46 +105.85% AMD 180 +50.11% Broadcom n/a +85.5% NVIDIA Price Prediction 2026-2030 My verdict: Buy, with a 24/7 Wall St. price target of $308.85 and 90% confidence. The tipping factor is Huang’s own admission that supply covers only 70% of demand into fiscal 2028.
The thesis strengthens if Vera Rubin ramps into 20% of Data Center revenue in Q3 as guided. The thesis weakens if China restrictions widen or hyperscaler capex slips meaningfully below the $1.3 trillion 2027 mark.
Year 24/7 Wall St. Price Target 2026 $226.18 2027 $308.85 2028 $371.01 2029 $472.93 2030 $510.76 These projections assume NVIDIA continues executing on the Vera Rubin ramp and hyperscaler capex holds. Meaningful upside or downside could come from China policy shifts or a stalled AI infrastructure cycle.
The harder question, whether another NVIDIA is already forming somewhere in the AI stack, is the one we tried to answer by reverse-engineering what past monster winners looked like early in a free playbook you can grab here.

Key Takeaways NVIDIA's Hugging Face deal deepens its exposure to open-source AI. Open-weight models could become increasingly important for cybersecurity. NVIDIA-heavy ETFs may benefit from the company's expanding AI strategy. NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) has confirmed its plan to acquire Hugging Face, a New York-based startup known for its open-source artificial intelligence (AI) model repository. The deal, valued at $12.9 billion, represents NVIDIA’s second-largest acquisition after its $20 billion purchase of chipmaker Groq’s assets, as quoted on CNBC.
The acquisition price underscores the strategic value of Hugging Face as the AI industry continues to expand.
Why Hugging Face MattersHugging Face has emerged as a major platform for developing, sharing and running AI models, particularly open-weight models that developers can modify and host themselves.
According to Huang, roughly half of NVIDIA’s business is driven by open models. NVIDIA is also a major developer of open AI models, making Hugging Face a natural fit with its broader AI strategy.
Beyond open-source AI, Hugging Face provides infrastructure and collaboration tools for organizations developing proprietary AI systems. The platform has more than 18 million users, hosts over 3 million models and 500,000 datasets, and is used by more than 200,000 companies, according to NVIDIA, as quoted on CNBC.
NVIDIA Gains Greater AI VisibilityThe acquisition could also give NVIDIA deeper insight into how AI developers and customers are using the technology.
Forrester analyst Naveen Chhabra said NVIDIA could gain visibility into which AI models are gaining popularity, what datasets developers are accessing and which architectures are attracting interest before broader market trends emerge, per the same CNBC article.
NVIDIA has lately positioned itself beyond its traditional role as a chipmaker by investing in companies across the AI value chain and helping fund GPU purchases through increasingly sophisticated arrangements.
AI Supply Chain Faces New RisksHugging Face CEO Clément Delangue told CNBC recently that China is winning the AI race with open-weight models. He expects Chinese tools to catch up to the U.S. frontier labs by the end of 2026 or in 2027.
Meanwhile, the accelerating U.S.-China AI race is drawing greater attention to America's dependence on China for certain components used in AI data centers.
Growing scrutiny of these supply chains could raise costs, creating further challenges for the massive infrastructure buildout needed to support AI growth. Hence, focusing on open-source AI models and their acquisition could prove to be a lucrative investment opportunity.
Are Open-Source Models Better for Cybersecurity?Delangue, a strong advocate of open-source AI, sees open models playing a key role in the growing AI cybersecurity market, as quoted on CNBC. Their flexibility, transparency and ability to run within private environments make them useful for detecting evolving threats while keeping sensitive data under organizational control.
Against this backdrop, NVIDIA's recent investment in Hugging Face appears well aligned with the growing demand for open-source models.
ETFs to WinBelow we highlight a few NVIDIA-heavy ETFs that should be in focus now.
It seems all but confirmed that 2026 will be a year given over to AI, with chipmakers like NVIDIA Corp. NASDAQ: NVDA always at the forefront of discussions of the potential for further growth. Companies tied to data center infrastructure buildout have thrived as industries pour billions of dollars into creating more AI computing capacity.

Key NVIDIA News Here are the key news stories impacting NVIDIA this week:
Positive Sentiment: NVIDIA continues to benefit from exceptional AI infrastructure demand. Recent analysis highlighted $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue, 106% year-over-year growth, strong data-center momentum and management’s expectation for approximately 70% revenue growth in fiscal 2028. Blackwell, networking and the upcoming Vera Rubin platform provide additional product catalysts. Nvidia’s Earnings Staircase Keeps The Momentum Rolling Positive Sentiment: CEO Jensen Huang reinforced the investment case by describing NVIDIA’s computing hardware as durable, rentable and capable of generating revenue for customers even as chips age. Continued rental demand for older H100 systems supports the resale and utilization value of NVIDIA’s installed base. Jensen Huang Calls Nvidia Chips a Revenue-Generating Asset Positive Sentiment: Customer and ecosystem news remains supportive: NVIDIA-backed Firmus signed a multiyear computing-capacity agreement with OpenAI, while Quantum Cyber announced an eight-GPU NVIDIA A100 cluster for autonomous defense and drone applications. These announcements indicate expanding use of NVIDIA hardware beyond traditional hyperscale deployments. Nvidia-backed Firmus Signs Deal With OpenAI Neutral Sentiment: NVIDIA’s approximately $12.9 billion acquisition of Hugging Face is viewed as a way to deepen its software and developer ecosystem, but investors are watching whether the open-source community embraces the platform under NVIDIA ownership and whether the deal produces adequate returns. Neutral Sentiment: Supplier activity points to sustained demand but also rising execution and financing requirements. Wistron announced a $1.5 billion share sale to fund materials and capacity, illustrating the capital intensity of the AI-server buildout without directly changing NVIDIA’s earnings outlook. Negative Sentiment: Director Mark Stevens sold 1,022,239 NVIDIA shares for approximately $235.6 million across September 3–4, reducing his direct ownership by roughly one-third across the reported transactions. Although insider sales do not necessarily signal deteriorating fundamentals, the size of the sales can weigh on sentiment. Negative Sentiment: The stock’s pullback reflects profit-taking after three sessions of gains and weaker risk appetite linked to higher oil prices and renewed Middle East tensions. Investors also continue to debate competition from custom AI chips, data-center opposition, customer concentration and whether AI spending can justify NVIDIA’s multitrillion-dollar valuation.

NVIDIA News Summary Here are the key news stories impacting NVIDIA this week:
Positive Sentiment: NVIDIA continues to benefit from exceptional AI infrastructure demand. Recent analysis highlighted $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue, 106% year-over-year growth, strong data-center momentum and management’s expectation for approximately 70% revenue growth in fiscal 2028. Blackwell, networking and the upcoming Vera Rubin platform provide additional product catalysts. Nvidia’s Earnings Staircase Keeps The Momentum Rolling Positive Sentiment: CEO Jensen Huang reinforced the investment case by describing NVIDIA’s computing hardware as durable, rentable and capable of generating revenue for customers even as chips age. Continued rental demand for older H100 systems supports the resale and utilization value of NVIDIA’s installed base. Jensen Huang Calls Nvidia Chips a Revenue-Generating Asset Positive Sentiment: Customer and ecosystem news remains supportive: NVIDIA-backed Firmus signed a multiyear computing-capacity agreement with OpenAI, while Quantum Cyber announced an eight-GPU NVIDIA A100 cluster for autonomous defense and drone applications. These announcements indicate expanding use of NVIDIA hardware beyond traditional hyperscale deployments. Nvidia-backed Firmus Signs Deal With OpenAI Neutral Sentiment: NVIDIA’s approximately $12.9 billion acquisition of Hugging Face is viewed as a way to deepen its software and developer ecosystem, but investors are watching whether the open-source community embraces the platform under NVIDIA ownership and whether the deal produces adequate returns. Neutral Sentiment: Supplier activity points to sustained demand but also rising execution and financing requirements. Wistron announced a $1.5 billion share sale to fund materials and capacity, illustrating the capital intensity of the AI-server buildout without directly changing NVIDIA’s earnings outlook. Negative Sentiment: Director Mark Stevens sold 1,022,239 NVIDIA shares for approximately $235.6 million across September 3–4, reducing his direct ownership by roughly one-third across the reported transactions. Although insider sales do not necessarily signal deteriorating fundamentals, the size of the sales can weigh on sentiment. Negative Sentiment: The stock’s pullback reflects profit-taking after three sessions of gains and weaker risk appetite linked to higher oil prices and renewed Middle East tensions. Investors also continue to debate competition from custom AI chips, data-center opposition, customer concentration and whether AI spending can justify NVIDIA’s multitrillion-dollar valuation.

When two companies competing in the same industry have similar operating profiles, they tend to be priced about the same in terms of valuation. The market is full of examples like this: PepsiCo and Coca-Cola, Home Depot and Lowe's, Nvidia (NVDA -2.01%) and AMD (AMD +5.90%). However, the latter has experienced an unprecedented valuation split, and investors need to be aware of it.
Typically, there's one company that's more dominant than the other, and that company usually has a premium valuation. This is true for the stocks mentioned above, except for AMD and Nvidia. Despite Nvidia having a larger market share and growing faster than its peer, AMD is the more expensive stock. This is not a normal situation, and investors should be aware of it, as it should shape which of the stocks investors have higher exposure to.
Image source: Getty Images.
Why is AMD stock so expensive? Both AMD and Nvidia are growing at an impressive rate; as a result, using a trailing earnings metric like the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio doesn't paint the full picture of where these two stocks should actually be valued. However, there is a huge gap when trailing earnings are used.
AMD PE Ratio data by YCharts
From this perspective, AMD has always been more expensive throughout the past few years as the AI arms race accelerated. However, AMD's earnings were heavily affected by profit margins that weren't optimal, thus the high valuation. AMD's margins are improving, but they're still nowhere close to Nvidia's, nor will they ever be.
AMD Gross Profit Margin data by YCharts
Nvidia's profit margins -- which are after tax -- are actually higher than AMD's gross margins -- which are pretax. This is incredible considering these two are in a similar industry. However, when you look at the breakdown of these two businesses, it's clear that AMD will never match Nvidia's margins without a complete overhaul.

Nvidia is heavily focused on graphic processing units (GPUs) and the hardware that supports them, particularly in its data center division, which is benefiting significantly from the AI build-out. Nvidia products have been the industry standard from the beginning, and AMD hasn't been able to wrest away that leadership. In Q2, $89 billion of Nvidia's $96.2 billion total revenue came from its data center division. Because this segment is supply-constrained and Nvidia has the premium product, it can charge a higher price and make a ton of profit from these devices.
AMD has a different business. While it also has heavy exposure to data centers, that exposure is not nearly as high. In Q2, AMD's data center division generated $6.7 billion in revenue out of a total of $11.5 billion. That leaves its other divisions with a much higher share of total revenue, and these divisions don't have nearly as good an operating profile as Nvidia's data center business.
Because so much of AMD's business comes from lower-margin Client & Gaming division, it will never be able to catch Nvidia's margins in its current form.
This should secure Nvidia's place as having a higher valuation than AMD, but it doesn't. And that is a signal for investors to sell AMD and buy Nvidia instead.
Nvidia's stock is cheap If we use forward earnings, which include margin improvements and growth that AMD investors can expect, we see a stark contrast between the two that has only recently emerged.

When we utilize next fiscal year's projections, this difference is even more apparent.

Nvidia is much cheaper than AMD while also being a better business. I think investors need to take advantage of this price mismatch and scoop up shares of Nvidia, as this deal won't last forever.
HP is collaborating with Red Hat and NVIDIA to deliver an enterprise AI platform designed to run production inference closer to users, applications, machines and data.The planned solution will combine HP ZGX Fury, powered by NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip and Red Hat AI Factory, enabling enhanced AI and orchestration capabilities.Customers will be able to evaluate the solution in a sandboxed environment on HP devices running Red Hat AI Factory with NVIDIA before moving use cases into production. PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HP Inc. today announced a collaboration with Red Hat, the world’s leading provider of open-source solutions, to give organizations more choice in where AI workloads run, whether locally, in the cloud or across both environments. In collaboration with Red Hat, HP is developing an open, enterprise-grade AI platform to deliver purpose-built AI infrastructure powered by Red Hat AI Factory with NVIDIA.
HP’s open enterprise-grade AI platform aims to help companies maximize local AI inference throughput with up to 20 PFLOPS FP4 AI performance, reduce environment setup time and deployment risk, and improve GPU utilization through optimized NVIDIA CUDA libraries, scheduling, and multi-GPU workload orchestration. Red Hat AI Factory with NVIDIA is an integrated AI platform, built on the industry-leading infrastructure of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift, for deploying and managing AI models, agents and applications across the hybrid cloud.
The collaboration provides the ability to accelerate AI development by reducing setup time, enabling local agentic coding, and allowing companies to offload compute to the ZGX Fury without altering existing workflows. Running on Red Hat AI Factory, the solution is bringing together the co-engineered and jointly validated power of NVIDIA AI Enterprise and the scalability of Red Hat AI Enterprise.
“The future of AI is moving closer to where people work, machines operate and critical decisions are made,” said Jim Nottingham, Senior Vice President and Division President, Advanced Compute and Solutions, HP Inc. “Together with Red Hat and NVIDIA, HP is extending enterprise AI from the data center to the edge with an open, enterprise-grade inference platform designed to give customers greater choice, control and consistency as they deploy local AI factories.”
As organizations continue to develop AI solutions requiring AI inference closer to deployment sites, they must address latency, privacy, resiliency, data sovereignty, connectivity and cost. HP intends to help customers move from experimentation to repeatable production deployments with local AI performance and a consistent enterprise software foundation. The platform is being designed to support multiple AI workloads on the same system while maintaining workload isolation, governance, and operational control. This approach can help organizations improve infrastructure utilization and give IT teams a more consistent way to manage distributed AI environments.
“Scaling AI from the data center to the edge requires operational consistency and reliability. By powering HP’s platform with Red Hat AI Factory with NVIDIA, we’re providing the stable, AI-optimized foundation businesses need to bridge the gap between IT and operational technology,” said Ryan King, Vice President, AI and Infrastructure Partner Ecosystem, Red Hat. “We are pleased to collaborate with HP to help organizations better manage their AI lifecycle with the same confidence and control they’ve come to expect from Red Hat, no matter where their workloads reside.”
“The future of AI requires fast, reliable intelligence that can run not only in data centers but also where work gets done — at the edge,” said Chris Marriott, vice president, Enterprise Platforms and Solutions at NVIDIA. “By bringing NVIDIA Grace Blackwell technology to the ZGX Fury and planning to integrate with Red Hat AI Factory with NVIDIA, HP is enabling organizations to run powerful AI locally while maintaining the security, scalability, and consistency enterprises demand.”
Extending Enterprise AI from the Data Center to the Edge
The initial solution will bring together:
HP ZGX Fury, based on the NVIDIA DGX Station platform, is powered by NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip, as the physical infrastructure for demanding local AI development and inference.Enterprise lifecycle management and support pathways designed to improve consistency from developer environments to production deployment.

Nvidia delivered record Q2 results, doubling revenue to $96.22B and projecting FY28 revenue growth of 70% with 72–73% long-term gross margins. NVDA is aggressively leveraging its balance sheet, deploying $99B in equity investments and $279B in supply commitments to secure AI dominance and starve competitors. Strategic financing—through guarantees, take-or-pay agreements, and MoUs—enables NVDA to build an alternative AI economy, reducing hyperscaler dependence and nurturing high-margin ACIE customers.
NVIDIA delivered Q2 FY27 revenue of $96.2B, surpassing guidance and driving shares up 8.7%. I maintain a Buy rating, but the investment thesis now hinges on supply constraints, margin trajectory, and balance sheet risk. NVDA guided FY28 revenue growth to 70%, supply-constrained, with gross margins expected to bottom at 71–72% before stabilizing.
Nvidia Corporation is upgraded to Buy, with a $300 fair value, as Q2 results and guidance confirm a multi-year, supply-constrained AI platform buildout. NVDA's Q2 revenue hit $96.2B, data center $89B, and free cash flow $21.3B; management guides for ~70% fiscal 2028 revenue growth, still supply-limited. The AI landscape is converging on NVDA's platform, with hyperscaler CapEx/backlog, neocloud scaling, and memory scarcity reinforcing platform durability and pricing power.
Nvidia stock fell about 1.5% on Tuesday to around $227, taking a breather after three consecutive sessions of gains as broader markets came under pressure from rising oil prices and renewed Middle East tensions.
The pullback was notable because several major semiconductor stocks moved higher.
Intel surged more than 8% after Northland Capital Markets analyst Gus Richard upgraded the stock to Outperform from Market Perform.
AMD gained about 5%, while Broadcom rose roughly 3%. The PHLX Semiconductor Sector index was also up around 2%.
The broader market moved in the opposite direction. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 574 points, or 1.1%, while the S&P 500 declined 0.4% and the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.3%.
US markets were closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday.
Oil prices remained a key source of pressure for equities on Tuesday as West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose for a sixth consecutive session, extending their longest winning streak since March.
Brent crude was trading around $98 a barrel as tensions between the US and Iran escalated over the weekend.
Against that backdrop, Nvidia’s decline comes after a strong run over recent months.
The stock is up about 24% over the past six months and remains just below its record high of $236.54.
However, Nvidia has significantly underperformed some semiconductor peers over the same period, with both AMD and Intel gaining more than 100%.
Cantor maintains $350 Nvidia targetCantor Fitzgerald reiterated its Overweight rating on Nvidia and maintained a $350 price target.
The firm highlighted continued demand for AI infrastructure while acknowledging supply constraints across the semiconductor industry.
Analyst C.J. Muse said investors remain divided over the durability of the AI investment cycle as macroeconomic and debt concerns weigh on markets.
Cantor also emphasized Nvidia’s position as TSMC’s largest customer and argued that the stock trades at the cheapest valuation among compute companies based on calendar 2028 earnings estimates.
The firm also believes Nvidia remains under-owned by both hedge funds and long-only investors.
Muse addressed Nvidia’s high-bandwidth memory specifications, characterizing HBM de-specification as an economic decision aimed at optimizing gross margins and GPU sales around a finite number of bits.
Earlier this month, Morningstar raised its fair value estimate to $310 from $280, implying roughly 30% upside from the stock’s current level.
Nvidia reported $96 billion in fiscal second-quarter revenue, up 106% from a year earlier and above its $91 billion guidance.
The company expects October-quarter revenue of $108 billion, ahead of FactSet consensus of $105 billion.
Morningstar identified Nvidia’s fiscal 2028 outlook as the most significant part of the earnings report.
Nvidia expects revenue growth of 70% next year, implying nearly $700 billion in total revenue compared with Morningstar and FactSet estimates of roughly $570 billion.
The outlook reinforces the longer-term bullish case, even as Nvidia’s shares pause after their recent gains.
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) remains one of Wall Street's favorite AI trades, and a fresh analyst update suggests at least one firm believes the rally still has room to run.
Big banks are demanding AI systems they can physically disconnect from the internet, and the CEO of one of Nvidia's newest partners says that changes everything about where the next trillion dollars in AI compute actually gets built.
The CEO of AI search startup Perplexity handed retail investors a sharp counterpoint to the cloud data center boom behind NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction)’s $5.48 trillion market cap. Speaking on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street on September 4, 2026, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas argued that data centers alone cannot carry AI’s next phase. Big banks, he said, want part of that computing power on their own premises, in machines they control and can physically unplug.
Terawatt Problem Looms Over AI Srinivas framed the ceiling clearly, saying, “If a billion people need to run 24 over seven agents, they’re going to need a terawatt of power and a lot of memory. And so you’re not going to be able to do this just with data centers.” His fix is hybrid: route privacy-sensitive workloads to local hardware while keeping cloud access for frontier models. He noted that “there’s a lot of ram in our own devices, there’s a lot of power in our own offices, in our own homes that we’re not actually tapping into for AI inference today.”
Why Banks Want the Plug For banks, the appeal of running AI closer to home begins with control. Srinivas shared that firms like Morgan Stanley or JPMorgan want “air gapped implementation”, disconnected boxes running “the product, the model, the agent, everything” on-premises because they fear “their ip leaking to frontier labs.” The hardware he pointed to is NVIDIA’s DGX Spark, the desk-side box built for local inference.
NVIDIA’s Q2 FY27 numbers show this on-prem market is substantial. CFO Colette Kress told analysts that “on a trailing 12-month basis, on-prem revenue in the automotive vertical reached $8 billion, while financial services, manufacturing, and healthcare combined contributed $7 billion in revenue.” She named Hudson River Trading and Jane Street as trading firms running quantitative workloads on NVIDIA AI factories.
Funding Both Sides of the Compute Equation NVIDIA is bankrolling both ends of the spectrum. Finance chief Kress said non-hyperscaler categories, sovereign AI, regional neoclouds, enterprise edge and air-gapped data centers will make up roughly half of the data center business. NVIDIA has also lined up heavy-hitters Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to mobilize over $500B for centralized AI infrastructure (the power, cooling, and networking suppliers behind that buildout are the subject of a free report on seven AI infrastructure names that aren’t chipmakers). Its Confidential Computing GPUs power Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) Private Cloud Compute, the hybrid architecture former CEO Tim Cook described as running “on device” and “on servers using private cloud compute.”
What to Watch Next Jensen Huang’s pitch on the Q2 FY27 call was that NVIDIA is “an entire AI factory platform” that customers “can use in any cloud” or run anywhere. If workloads migrate to the desk, NVIDIA still sells the silicon. The stock is up 35% over the past year and 21.7% year to date. Q3 FY27 guidance sits at $108B in revenue (±2%). The question is whether an on-prem shift compresses the hyperscaler capex that has driven Data Center revenue to $89.02B (+117% YoY), or routes it through a different SKU on the same invoice. Banks may pull some workloads out of the cloud. NVIDIA is betting its chips will still power the machines running them.

Nvidia Corporation delivered a strong Q2 FY27, with 106% y/y revenue growth and broadening demand beyond hyperscalers, reducing concentration risk. Management's supply-constrained FY28 outlook—guiding to ~70% revenue growth—provides exceptional near-term earnings visibility for a $5T+ company. NVDA's dual role as AI arms dealer and banker introduces credit and reflexivity risks, but these are manageable and factored into the bear case.
There's no shortage of naysayers when it comes to Nvidia (NVDA -2.01%). Just 1.18% of its outstanding shares are currently being shorted, but think about what that means for a company with a market cap just above $5.5 trillion.
There are nearly $57 billion in short positions out there, and that doesn't include put options, bearish ETFs, or other derivative activity. The actual number of shares sold short has actually increased 40% over the past year, and the value of those bearish wagers has risen another 35% on top of that.
The bears are everywhere, but I see that as more of an opportunity than a threat. Let's go over some of the knocks on Nvidia. I want to counter by pointing out what the worrywarts might be missing.
Image source: Getty Images.
1. Nvidia is priced for perfection There is nothing that I love more than when a bear argues that a stock is "priced for perfection." The assumption is that current expectations are too high and that the stock is bumping up against the ceiling, with so much air below it on the way down to the floor.
Last month's fiscal second quarter was a perfect example of Nvidia stock perpetually scaling the wall of worry. Bears were banking on analysts aiming too high by targeting 97% in top-line growth. It would be the fourth consecutive quarter of accelerating year-over-year growth.
How is that possible with a company as large as Nvidia? Expectations were high. Reality was kinder. Here's a look at the company's top-line growth:
Q2 FY 2026: 56% Q3 FY 2026: 63% Q4 FY 2026: 73% Q1 FY 2027: 85% Q2 FY 2027: 106% The late-August financial update gets even better. Those same analysts tagged by bears as overly ambitious are serial lowballers. They projected revenue would decelerate sharply to just 45% for fiscal year 2028, which starts in February. Nvidia shattered those crystal balls two weeks ago by forecasting 70% growth for next year.
Perfection isn't the ceiling. Market winners thrive in the debunking process.

2. Rivals will gain market share at Nvidia's expense It would be naive for a bull like me to assume that Nvidia will be the king of the hill forever. Competitive advantages can weaken over time, just as they have been strengthening for years. A disruptor can pioneer a better mousetrap for the AI revolution or whatever giant tech trend comes next.
The one thing that's fair to say is that it's not happening now. Let's have Advanced Micro Devices (AMD +5.90%) enter the chat. AMD has a colorful history of needling the market leader, and it's certainly cashing in on the AI boom Nvidia is championing.
AMD stock has outperformed Nvidia over the past year by more than tripling. However, in its latest quarter -- and I'll point out that their fiscal quarters ended about a month apart -- AMD's overall revenue rose just 50%, half of Nvidia's top-line growth.
I'll beat the bears to what they're thinking. Zoom in on AMD's data center business, which now accounts for more than half (58%) of its revenue, and that business skyrocketed 107% for the quarter. That's awesome, but Nvidia's data center revenue, which accounts for 93% of its results, soared 117%.
In the end, AMD's data center business delivered $3.5 billion in incremental revenue compared to a year earlier. Nvidia tacked on $48 billion in incremental data center revenue.
3. Margins will inevitably contract Let's close on a margin of error. Nvidia's gross margin was 75% in its latest quarter. The adjusted net margin was a jaw-dropping 56%. It's easy to question the sustainability of those levels. Unlike the flawed "priced for perfection" argument, there is a clear ceiling here: Gross margin will never exceed 100%, and the after-tax adjusted bottom line will naturally be well below that.
The reasonable bear case is that growth may continue but decelerate. Margins will contract, so earnings will grow even slower than the slowing top line -- if not eventually turn into negative year-over-year earnings growth.
Set aside that high bandwidth memory (HBM) makers riding Nvidia's coattails are currently generating gross margins approaching 85%. With competition percolating, Nvidia will need to keep innovating and fortifying its moat. It probably has more pricing flexibility now than the bears think. With third-party HBM becoming a larger cost component in the AI build-out, won't it make it even riskier for a company to bank on non-Nvidia AI chips and accelerators?
In the meantime, you can buy the stock for less than 15 times next year's projected earnings. This is why the bears aren't arguing that Nvidia is too expensive, as it's trading at a discount to the overall market despite growing substantially faster. Nvidia will be volatile, but it's built to win.
Nvidia just posted the largest quarter in semiconductor history, yet the stock trades like Wall Street is only half-convinced. A credible case exists for 160% gains by 2030, but it hinges on three specific things going right.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) just posted the largest quarter in semiconductor history, and the stock still trades like the market is only half-convinced. Data Center revenue hit $89.02 billion, up 117% year over year, and CEO Jensen Huang told investors “AI is now doing productive and useful work” that generates profitable tokens.
Shares are up 24.08% year to date, respectable but hardly euphoric. So here is the question I want to answer: can NVIDIA reach $600 per share by 2030?
What Is Holding NVIDIA Back Right Now NVIDIA is performing well. Shares are up 6.24% over the past week and 5.43% over the past month. The issue is that the stock has been chopping in a range for most of 2026 while the fundamentals accelerated past almost every reasonable model.
Two overhangs explain it. First, China Data Center compute revenue is guided at zero for Q3, and management stated bluntly that “there is no China data center compute revenue in our forward outlook.”
Second, memory pricing has spiked, and Huang warned the increases “have exceeded our prior expectations and are headed even higher into next year.”
With a beta of 2.217, NVDA amplifies every macro wobble. That is why a company growing revenue at triple digits still trades at a forward multiple in the low 20s.
Wall Street Sees 42% Upside. Our Model Sees Something Bigger The consensus is loud. Of the 60 analysts covering NVDA, 9 rate it strong buy, 48 buy, 2 hold, and 1 sell, with an analyst target price of $327.13. That implies roughly 42% upside from here.
Our 24/7 Wall St. model is more constructive still, targeting a base-case price of $309.81 in a year with a confidence score of 0.9 and a bull case of $354.73.
Here is where I push back. Consensus is anchored to fiscal 2027. It is not fully pricing the fiscal 2028 EPS estimate, which has jumped from $12.63 to $15.46 in just 90 days on 39 upward revisions. Analysts are catching up, not leading.
Path to $600 Per Share by 2030 Reaching $600 from today’s price of $230.36 would require a gain of 160.5%. With forward EPS of $10.05, a price of $600 implies a forward P/E of 60x on today’s earnings power. Our base case of $309.81 already implies 33x, meaning the bold target requires 27x of additional multiple expansion on current forward EPS.
Here is the compression story that makes it work: if fiscal 2028 EPS lands at consensus $15.46 and the company grows revenue approximately 70% in fiscal 2028 as guided, EPS by fiscal 2031 could clear $25. At that level, $600 is a 24x multiple.
Catalysts to get there are already in motion: Vera Rubin generating $40 billion per gigawatt versus Blackwell’s $25 billion, top-five hyperscaler capex projected at $1.3 trillion in 2027, and cloud industry backlog now above $2 trillion.
Not all of that trillion-dollar buildout accrues to NVIDIA; the power, cooling, and networking suppliers behind the data centers ride the same wave, and we profiled seven of them in a free report you can grab here. The primary risk is that supply constraints or a China escalation cap unit growth before EPS can catch the multiple.
Where NVIDIA Trades Today vs Its Earnings Power At $231.13, NVDA trades at roughly 23x forward earnings. That looks reasonable for a business with 75% non-GAAP gross margins and 126% net income growth, it is a discount to almost any historical AI-cycle comparison.
Shares sit near the 52-week high of $236.26, well off the low of $164.08. Long-term context matters. NVDA is up 14,808% over the past decade. Today’s multiple is the cheapest it has been during any major NVIDIA product cycle since Hopper.
Is $600 Realistic? My Verdict Reaching $600 by 2030 requires a 160.5% gain and, more importantly, EPS growth doing most of the heavy lifting so the forward P/E can actually compress into the low 20s at that price. My take: it is a stretch, but a credible one.
Three things need to go right. Vera Rubin has to become “the fastest product ramp in NVIDIA’s history” as management promises, hyperscaler capex has to sustain through the decade, and non-hyperscaler ACIE revenue has to keep compounding at triple digits. A hard China decoupling or a hyperscaler capex reset would derail it. Returns at this level shouldn’t be expected every year, but we’ve outlined the blueprint for how NVIDIA could reach $600 in 2030.

Ivan Feinseth believes Nvidia (NVDA) purchasing Hugging Face for just under $13 billion is something that accelerates the Mag 7 giant's software momentum. He says Hugging Face will add efficiency and expand the runway for future prospects.
Nvidia Corporation remains a Buy as its earnings momentum accelerates, driven by robust Data Center growth and new product ramps like Vera Rubin. Q2 revenue reached $96.2B, beating expectations with 18% sequential Data Center growth and a sustained 75% non-GAAP gross margin. Nvidia is stacking multiple growth engines—Blackwell, Vera Rubin, networking, and AI infrastructure—broadening its customer base and addressable market.
Nvidia (NVDA -2.01%) has delivered plenty of organic growth over its history, but acquisitions have also played a major role in its expansion from a GPU designer to a comprehensive AI platform, or factory, as CEO Jensen Huang calls it.
For example, it acquired the data center networking specialist Mellanox for $6.9 billion in 2019, and it now anchors a business that generates more than $31 billion in revenue annually.
The Hugging Face acquisition, which it announced last week, will be its biggest ever at a purchase price of $12.9 billion. Nvidia did spend $20 billion in a deal with Groq, but that was a non-exclusive technology licensing and talent agreement, rather than an outright acquisition.
Acquisitions have been hit-or-miss in the tech sector, and $12.9 billion is a large sum even by modern standards. Let's take a look at what Nvidia gets for that money, before discussing what the deal means for investors.
Image source: Nvidia.
What Hugging Face brings to NvidiaHugging Face is an online platform for building AI and machine learning tools, and is sometimes described as "GitHub for machine learning," referring to the code repository now owned by Microsoft.
Given its position at the top of the funnel in the AI stack, you can see how the platform would be valuable to Nvidia, whose future depends on its ability to continue to dominate the AI chip ecosystem.
Hugging Face has a base of 18 million developers, researchers, and creators on the platform, and more than 3 million models, 500,000 data sets, and 1 million applications. It's currently used by more than 200,000 companies for AI development.
Hugging Face will remain an open platform, and Nvidia has been committed to open models for years. The acquisition seems to be more about gaining a valuable top-of-the-funnel platform than integrating Hugging Face's infrastructure into Nvidia, though Nvidia is the largest contributor of open models and data to Hugging Face. Still, Nvidia's ownership of Hugging Face should increase its influence over the software layer that gets built on its hardware. Open-source model adoption also drives demand for Nvidia's hardware, so supporting Hugging Face can help grow the platform and increase demand for its chips and hardware.
Plenty of tech acquisitions have blown up in the past. Microsoft, for example, has a long history of botched acquisitions, including Nokia’s handset business, Skype, the videoconferencing platform, and aQuantive, a digital marketing company.
Nvidia, on the other hand, has a more successful acquisition history, and it's stuck to its strengths in semiconductors, rather than chasing every emerging business as tech giants like Microsoft sometimes have.
However, there's a simpler reason why the Hugging Face acquisition shouldn't faze investors. While the $12.9 billion is nominally a lot of money, for a company like Nvidia, it's actually quite affordable. Based on Nvidia's net income of $59.7 billion in the second quarter, Hugging Face costs it roughly three weeks of profits, and its profits are growing rapidly.
Companies can spend their profits on a few different things. Generally, the available options are capital expenditures to invest in growth, acquisitions, investments, debt repurchases, dividends, or share buybacks.
At this point, Nvidia seems to be growing too quickly, and the stock is too expensive for the company to be spending a substantial percentage of its profits on returning capital to shareholders through dividends or buybacks.
I'd rather the company use that money to invest in its growth and widen its economic moat in AI chips, and it seems to be doing that. In addition to the Hugging Face acquisition, it's built a broad network of investments and partnerships with AI labs, neocloud companies, other chipmakers, and partners like Space Exploration Technologies. Its portfolio of publicly traded companies was worth $63.4 billion at the end of Q2, and that doesn't include investments in companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.
Investors should hope to see more such acquisitions like Hugging Face as the company has more than enough capital to spend on them, and doing so will help further entrench and expand its AI empire.
One enormous forecast just changed the market's expectations almost overnight Summary
AMD stock surged after the chipmaker forecast $70 billion in 2027 data-center sales, supported by AI GPUs and rapidly growing server CPU demand
Advanced Micro Devices AMD stock jumped more than 6% Tuesday after the chipmaker outlined a bullish AI outlook at Citi's 2026 Global TMT Conference. Investors focused on AMD's near-term targets, alongside its $2 trillion AI opportunity estimate for 2030.
AMD expects its data-center business to double to $70 billion in 2027. AI graphics processors could contribute sales in the low $40 billion range, with server CPUs supplying the remainder. That gives AMD two paths into AI spending beyond accelerators.
AMD's 2027 Forecast Raises the StakesThe MI450 rollout bridges that forecast. Production shipments started during the third quarter of 2026, with a larger ramp expected in the fourth quarter and another increase in the first quarter of 2027. AMD has named Meta Platforms (META), OpenAI, and Anthropic as AI customers.
The server opportunity is equally important. AMD increased its 2030 server CPU market estimate to $220 billion from $60 billion. It expects server CPU revenue to grow more than 80% year over year during the second half of 2026 and more than 70% in 2027, helped by agentic AI workloads.
Yet the guidance exposes AMD's central constraint. Demand is running ahead of supplies of advanced wafers, high-bandwidth memory, and chip packaging. The company has secured $29 billion to $30 billion in purchase commitments to support its expansion.
Chief Financial Officer Jean Hu described “the pace, the scale, and the rise of the AI” as “unprecedented.” That opportunity comes with a near-term profitability tradeoff. AMD expects gross margin to edge lower during the fourth quarter and in 2027 as MI450 production expands, although total gross profit dollars should rise.
For investors, the rally reflects confidence that AMD can narrow Nvidia's (NVDA) AI advantage while strengthening its CPU franchise. The targets are powerful, but fulfilling them requires supply, customer deployments, and manufacturing execution to move together on schedule.

Nvidia (NVDA -2.01%) has been a key company -- and some may say the key company -- driving the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. This is because the tech giant designs the most powerful graphics processing units (GPUs), the chips fueling AI, and has expanded this expertise into the creation of complete systems. Today, Nvidia is a full-stack AI company, offering customers a vast selection of products and services needed along the AI path.
All of this has translated into explosive growth and record levels of earnings. In the most recent quarter, Nvidia's revenue soared 106% to $96 billion. And profit followed, advancing 126% to $59 billion. Nvidia is benefiting from massive investments in AI infrastructure; capital expenditures by the company's top five customers are forecast to reach $1.3 trillion next year.
Nvidia shared this and other news just last month during its fiscal 2027 second-quarter earnings report. Now, Sept. 10 represents a fresh opportunity to hear more from this AI powerhouse. My prediction is that it will be a big day for shareholders. Here's what to watch.

Nvidia's soaring earningsSo, first, a quick summary of Nvidia's recent and long-term performance. The company's earnings and stock price have soared over the past few years, as shown in the chart below, driven by its dominance in the AI chip market.
NVDA data by YCharts
Nvidia entered this market about a decade ago, well before the AI boom started, and designed its GPUs specifically to serve AI. In the past, Nvidia focused its designs on the gaming space -- this remains a market for Nvidia, but the AI opportunity has become the tech giant's biggest business. For example, in the recent quarter, data center revenue came in at $89 billion on the total $96 billion in revenue.
Nvidia's stock price continues to climb, but with a gain of about 20% so far this year, it's underperforming certain AI peers such as chip rivals Advanced Micro Devices and Intel, and memory chip giant Micron Technology. Those three players have seen their stock prices soar in the triple digits. This is as investors shift into other AI players that didn't climb as much as Nvidia in the earlier stages of the AI boom.

An update from NvidiaNow, let's consider what's set to happen on Sept. 10. Nvidia is set to make a presentation at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference at 8:50 a.m. Pacific Time, and this will be an opportunity for investors to hear the latest news at a crucial moment in time: as Nvidia rolls out its latest update, the Vera Rubin platform. The company said last month that it had begun production shipments of Rubin and that the system would likely account for 20% of data center revenue in the third quarter.
This launch also marks Nvidia's entry into the stand-alone central processing unit (CPU) market, one that so far has been dominated by AMD and Intel. Nvidia has set its sights on leadership here, so any CPU forecasts will be points to watch.
For the first time, Nvidia recently offered an annual growth forecast, predicting 70% year-over-year revenue growth for the 2028 fiscal year -- that's the fiscal year that begins in early 2027. Investors should look for additional comments, potentially concerning supply constraints and demand, that may offer further clues about what to expect.
Nvidia's headwindsMeanwhile, tight memory supply and higher prices have been and continue to be a headwind for Nvidia. The company might offer investors additional details about how it's handling this challenge. And while we're on the subject of headwinds, it will also be important to listen for any comments on potential sales in China. Restrictions by the U.S. blocked Nvidia's chip sales to China in April 2025, and though the U.S. has given the company the go-ahead, Nvidia still hasn't been able to reenter this high-potential market.
If Nvidia addresses some of these points, my prediction is that Sept. 10 could be a big day for shareholders, and the stock could take off in the days to follow. But even if I'm wrong and Nvidia shares don't react after the Goldman Sachs conference, that's OK. The company, thanks to its solid AI empire, is still well-positioned to deliver a win to investors over the long run.
Nvidia's (NASDAQ: NVDA) business model might be shifting before our eyes.

Nvidia's (NVDA -2.01%) accomplishments speak for themselves, but despite the stock having grown to a market cap of more than $5 trillion and it becoming the most profitable company in the world, there's still a lot of skepticism facing it.
Even as revenue nearly doubled in its most recent quarter, the stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of just 29, roughly in line with the S&P 500, indicating that investors expect its long-term earnings growth to generally resemble the broad-market index, even though it more than doubled net income in its latest quarter and expects strong growth to continue at least through 2027.
There are a number of reasons why Nvidia doesn't get the premium you might expect for a company growing this fast. First, the semiconductor industry is historically cyclical, and investors are expecting the momentum in the AI boom to eventually fade. At that point, Nvidia's revenue and earnings growth could turn negative as it has in past cycles. Second, competitors, including Nvidia's hyperscaler customers, are building their own chips to substitute for Nvidia components. While they're unlikely to replace them entirely, it could signal that Nvidia's competitive advantage is likely to erode over time. Finally, some investors think that depreciation in Nvidia's chips is an outsize risk facing the company and the broader AI boom. If its chips lose their value quickly, that is likely to hurt their selling price and the broader sustainability of AI, as eventually, Nvidia's customers will need to sell enough services to pay for its chips.
This theory, advanced by Michael Burry of "The Big Short" fame, has been used to criticize hyperscalers and neocloud companies, as well as Nvidia.
However, there's some evidence that Nvidia chips are retaining their value much better than the skeptics would expect.

Jensen Huang weighs inThe comments and chart below, taken from X, show the market average for live cloud GPU rental costs based on the Ornn H100 SXM Index.

As you can see, rental prices per hour for an H100 GPU, which were first launched nearly four years ago, are up 22% over the last month, even as Nvidia is now launching the new Rubin platform. the Rubin GPU, or R100, will make the H100 two generations old.
Rental and purchase prices for the H100 have indeed come down substantially from their peak in 2023, when generative AI was just starting to take off, but it's noteworthy that they were still able to increase their value at this point, even as newer options on the market emerge. The R100 will have several times as much memory as the H100 and use a superior, updated architecture.
Even the A100, the generation before the H100, remains in high demand, as some customers prefer the cheaper per-hour rental costs of the A100. Rather than disrupting itself with newer chips, Nvidia seems to be benefiting from a multi-tiered pricing model in which premium customers can pay premium prices for the newest chips and budget customers can pay lower prices for older chips.

What it means for NvidiaThe durability of H100 pricing offers yet another reason to be skeptical of the bearish thesis on the stock and to bet on the company's continued leadership in AI chips.
It's a reminder also that Nvidia, if anything, has been underestimated by Wall Street over the last few years, as the analyst consensus has been woefully short. Similarly, bearish predictions for the stock have fallen flat. Given the fact that the business just doubled in size in the most recent quarter, prices for chips that are now two generations old are holding up, and the stock is trading on par with the S&P 500, Nvidia continues to look like an excellent buy.
Nvidia (NVDA -2.01%) has been the artificial intelligence (AI) chip company leading this technology revolution so far. This is for two reasons: The company got in on the space early, and its commitment to innovation has kept it in the top spot. And investors, excited about Nvidia's soaring earnings, have piled into the stock, seen as a no-brainer AI winner.
These days, however, Nvidia isn't the only chip company positioned to benefit from the AI market, one on track to reach into the trillions of dollars. In fact, another player is making significant progress, and this player is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD +5.90%).
Over time, AMD has become a leader in central processing units (CPUs), the chips that power computers, but in recent quarters, the company is proving its strength in AI chips too -- and investors have recognized it. So far this year, AMD stock is outperforming Nvidia. Now, my prediction is AMD stock could outrun Nvidia over the next three years -- here's the bull case.
Image source: Getty Images.
Nvidia's early start So, first, a bit of background. As mentioned, Nvidia entered this market early and began tailoring its graphics processing units (GPUs) to suit AI about a decade ago. Over the past few years, revenue has taken a tremendous leap as sales of AI chip systems soared. For example, in the second quarter three years ago, revenue came in at $13 billion -- in the recently completed second quarter, that number reached $96 billion.
AMD truly revved up its AI ambitions about three years ago with the launch of the next-generation Instinct MI300 data center GPU family, a clear move into the data center market. Like Nvidia, AMD committed to frequent updates of its AI accelerators, and the company's Helios platform, launched this year, represents a big step forward. This full rackscale infrastructure system "sets a new competitive bar," according to AMD, which says it's designed to deliver more compute and memory capacity than Nvidia's Vera Rubin NVL72 rack.

A look at AMD's data center revenue growth shows that customers are taking notice -- and jumping on board. For the 2023 full year, AMD's data center revenue totaled $6.5 billion. Today, that's just under the company's data center revenue for one quarter -- in the second quarter, it reached $6.7 billion, more than doubling year-over-year.
Investors are noticing AMD And as I mentioned earlier, investors are noticing too, and they like what they see. This has helped AMD stock outperform Nvidia so far this year -- with the companies climbing 123% and 23%, respectively. Now, one particular negative point for AMD at the moment is that the gains have pushed valuation considerably higher, to a level that I consider expensive. And this is while Nvidia stock looks dirt cheap given the company's track record and long-term prospects. This may hold back value-oriented investors from buying shares in AMD.
AMD PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts
Still, my prediction is that aggressive investors looking for a bold AI growth story may continue buying AMD stock even at these high valuation levels, and here's why. I think these investors will focus on revenue growth figures, and here, it's likely that AMD will surpass Nvidia. It's important to keep in mind that it's more difficult to grow in the high double-digits or triple digits when quarterly data center revenue is nearly $90 billion -- and this is the challenge Nvidia faces right now. It's more complicated for the company to deliver explosive revenue growth quarter after quarter because it already generates enormous revenue and dominates the market.
AMD, however, has plenty of room for growth -- and the company can achieve this without truly upsetting Nvidia's market position, considering the level of demand for AI systems. AMD chief Lisa Su has offered words that spur optimism: "We are still in the early innings of a multiyear AI adoption cycle, and the opportunity ahead is enormous," she said in the recent earnings call.
So, as AMD's revenue jumps in the coming quarters, investors are likely to continue piling into the stock. And that's why I predict AMD stock could outrun market leader Nvidia over the coming three years.
Buy NASDAQ:NVDA. The stock is near highs but still “cheap” versus compute peers on 2028 earnings, and Sep 10 is a clear catalyst: Huang’s Goldman fireside chat can push AI demand and next-hardware confidence higher, keeping the market willing to pay up for accelerating earnings. This is a momentum + valuation support setup.
Key Risk: Huang fails to lift growth expectations (enterprise adoption and next-platform demand sound flat), so the “cheap” multiple compresses fast.
Hugging Face deal as a hedge
Buy NASDAQ:NVDA with a focus on the $12.93B Hugging Face angle. If Huang reinforces that Nvidia can broaden beyond hyperscalers via open-weight models and enterprise distribution, the market will price in a more durable revenue stream and less customer concentration risk—secondarily supporting NVDA’s long-term margins and stickiness.
Key Risk: The Hugging Face strategy doesn’t translate into measurable enterprise traction (or the deal faces regulatory/implementation delays), so concentration risk stays unresolved.
Nvidia stock NASDAQ:NVDA is sitting less than 5% below its record high, but the next catalyst arrives on September 10.
Chief executive Jensen Huang will participate in a fireside chat at Goldman Sachs’ Communacopia + Technology Conference at 8:50 a.m. PT, where investors will listen for signals on AI demand, enterprise adoption and Nvidia’s next hardware.
Nvidia closed at $225.73 on Tuesday, down 2.01%, leaving the stock about 4.6% below its $236.54 all-time high.
Nvidia’s shares are close to a record after another AI-driven rally, yet some analysts argue earnings expectations are rising even faster than the stock.
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C.J. Muse reiterated an Overweight rating and a $350 price target on September 8. Muse said Nvidia trades at the “cheapest” valuation among compute names based on calendar-2028 earnings estimates.
Cantor also argued that Nvidia remains under-owned by hedge funds and long-only managers.
That makes Huang’s appearance more important.
If he reinforces expectations for accelerating revenue or a widening customer base, investors may continue to view Nvidia as inexpensive relative to future earnings.
But that support depends on estimates continuing to rise. If growth expectations flatten, the stock becomes harder to defend.
Nvidia’s next leg depends on proving AI demand is expanding beyond a small group of hyperscalers.
Recent results from Dell strengthened that argument. Dell raised its annual outlook after reporting record revenue and a large AI-server backlog.
D.A. Davidson analyst Gil Luria told MarketWatch that Dell’s results were another sign the enterprise AI-compute market has momentum “beyond the current hyperscaler market.”
They will listen for commentary on enterprise adoption, sovereign AI, supply constraints and Feynman, Nvidia’s next architecture.
A broader customer base would make Nvidia’s growth story more durable.
If AI spending remains concentrated among Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and other technology giants, investors will keep worrying about concentration.
Customer concentration remains the uncomfortable riskThe bullish case has a major weakness, as Nvidia’s latest regulatory filing showed that three direct customers represented 16%, 15% and 13% of total revenue in the first half of fiscal 2027.
Investor Dan Niles highlighted the same issue this week, noting that Nvidia’s largest customers are increasingly designing their own application-specific chips.
That creates an unusual tension: the companies funding Nvidia’s growth also have the strongest incentives to reduce their dependence on its GPUs.
Nvidia’s planned $12.93 billion acquisition of Hugging Face could help address that risk by giving the company access to more than 18 million developers and a stronger route into enterprise AI.
Niles said that open-weight models could eventually dominate LLM usage, allowing Nvidia to sell a broader stack directly to enterprises rather than relying heavily on hyperscalers.
Beamr joins the VAST Cosmos Partner Program. First broadcast demonstration at IBC 2026, September 11–14, Amsterdam
Herzliya, Israel, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beamr Imaging Ltd. (Nasdaq: BMR), a leader in video optimization technology and solutions, today announced that it has joined the VAST Cosmos Community, a global ecosystem of developers, builders, and innovators developing next-generation AI solutions, as a Technology Partner. The strategic collaboration with VAST Data, the AI Operating System company, will help deliver new AI-powered video workflows for broadcasters and content owners.
The partnership will debut at IBC 2026, September 11–14 in Amsterdam, with a demonstration that brings together the VAST AI Operating System, NVIDIA Video Super Resolution and Beamr’s content-adaptive video technology. The workflow enables broadcasters and content owners to upscale, AI-enhance and modernize their media archives, while keeping the resulting storage and delivery economics under control.
Global viewers demand higher-resolution and higher-quality video on their home and mobile screens. Meeting these expectations requires AI-enhancing and modernizing lower-resolution video archives at scale - an extensive engineering process with a heavy price tag. Teams have to decide which parts of the archive are worth enhancing, and confirm the gain on their own content. Higher resolution means more bits, so a naive approach quickly becomes a storage-and-delivery cost the business can't carry.
Running on the VAST AI Operating System for Broadcast, the demonstration addresses these challenges where the video archives are already stored and managed. NVIDIA Video Super Resolution upscales lower-resolution content to 1080p or 4K, or improves quality at the same resolution. Beamr's content-adaptive bitrate (CABR) technology then delivers the result up to 50% smaller than standard encoding along a cost-friendly path that fits the existing delivery chain. Beamr delivers a distinctive approach for media teams to verify whether AI-enhanced video looks better to viewers on their content, with results in days instead of weeks.
The same pipeline can modernize media assets to HEVC or AV1 codecs - bringing older material up to formats that carry premium delivery standards, and opening new paths to monetize the media library. The entire pipeline runs end-to-end on NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs and can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises.
As a VAST Data Technology Partner, Beamr plans to collaborate with VAST Data on joint go-to-market initiatives around complementary video and data workflows. The IBC demonstration represents the first showcase of the collaboration for the broadcast and media market.
"By integrating with the VAST AI Operating System, we’re helping broadcasters capitalize on their most valuable media assets," said Sharon Carmel, Beamr CEO. "Not every asset gains equally from AI enhancement, and that's why our video experts work with each customer on their own material, and verify the result with real viewers before it moves to delivery. This is how media companies can realize more value from their existing content at scale and define new monetization paths.”
“Media companies are sitting on enormous video archives with untapped value, but unlocking that value with AI has to make economic sense at scale,” said John Mao, Vice President, Global Technology Alliances at VAST Data. “By bringing NVIDIA-accelerated video enhancement and Beamr’s content-adaptive encoding to the VAST AI Operating System, broadcasters can modernize the content they already own where that data lives, creating new opportunities to enhance, reuse and monetize their media libraries without adding unnecessary infrastructure complexity.”
Broadcasters and streaming platforms attending IBC 2026 can book a meeting and join the demonstration at beamr.com/ibc26 or visit Beamr at Stand 1.D22 (Hall 1).

Nvidia just paid nearly $13 billion to own the platform where the open-source AI community lives, works, and distributes its models. The question is whether that community will stay or walk.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) has closed on its purchase of Hugging Face, and the interesting work begins now. The New York Times reported the transaction at $12.9 billion, a figure WIRED framed as a $12.9 billion bet on open-source AI. The check has cleared. The community’s trust has not.
That is the asset Nvidia cannot wire-transfer for. Hugging Face is the default distribution point for open weights, datasets, and model cards. Owning the hub while also selling the silicon those models run on creates a structural conflict every rival accelerator program can now cite when courting maintainers.
What the Platform Owner Actually Said Nvidia has not disclosed binding governance commitments in an 8-K tied to the deal. What is on the record is Jensen Huang’s positioning on the Q2 FY2027 call. He argued that “the world will need both closed models and open models. and both closed models and open models are skyrocketing in use” and that “nearly all open models run on NVIDIA”. He added: “Our position in open models is very good, because the CUDA ecosystem is literally everywhere.”
Those remain strategic statements rather than binding covenants. Until Nvidia publishes model-hosting neutrality terms, contributor governance, and a policy on AMD, Groq, and Trainium optimizations shipped through the hub, the openness pledge is a talking point.
Why Neutrality Is the Whole Ballgame Nvidia posted Q2 FY2027 revenue of $96.22 billion, up 105.85% year over year, with Data Center revenue of $89.02 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $2.22. Shares closed at $230.36 on September 4, 2026, up 23.67% year to date, against a market cap of roughly $5.56 trillion and a P/E near 46.
A vendor that dominant buying the neutral commons gives every competing silicon program a fundraising deck. Expect AMD, Intel, and the hyperscalers’ custom-silicon teams to underwrite an alternative registry or a fork the moment a hosting policy tilts. The buildout around all this silicon still has to be powered, cooled, and networked by somebody, and we rounded up seven of those suppliers in a free AI infrastructure report.
Signals Worth Watching Grassroots reaction has already been mixed as Reddit’s aggregate sentiment on the announcement day registered a 49 score, considered relatively neutral. Also, skeptical threads about Nvidia’s circular financing have kept resurfacing.
Three checkable triggers over the next two quarters will settle the debate. First, whether the next frontier open-weight release from Mistral, Meta, or DeepSeek lands on Hugging Face first or on a mirror. Second, whether a competing registry, backed by an AMD or hyperscaler consortium, announces funding. Third, whether named senior maintainers depart publicly. If any of those three flip against Nvidia by the Q4 FY2027 earnings report, the $12.9 billion bought a liability, according to The New York Times. If none do, Huang bought the map.

Nvidia (NVDA +0.84%) has been a life-changing stock for many investors. If you invested $10,000 at the start of 2023, that sum is now worth nearly $160,000. That's life-changing returns for those who bought and held on, but could it still deliver those returns?
Let's see if buying Nvidia stock could set you up for life, as the answer may surprise you.

Nvidia has major short-term upside Nvidia has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence build-out, as its graphics processing units (GPUs) have become the industry's top choice. This has allowed the company to grow as quickly as the AI space in general, and there are not many signs of it slowing down. During Nvidia's most recent quarter, it posted year-over-year revenue growth of 106%, accelerating after slowing in 2025.
NVDA Revenue (Quarterly YOY Growth) data by YCharts
While management forecasts growth to slow next year, it isn't by much. For the next fiscal year, the company projects 70% growth -- an incredible figure, considering Nvidia is worth more than $5 trillion. What's even more amazing about this statement is that none of it has been priced into Nvidia's stock. For nearly every other company, if management tells you they will grow by 70% over the next year, the stock shoots up in response, pricing in a lot of that success. However, that's not the case with Nvidia.

Nvidia currently trades at 25 times forward earnings, which isn't all that much more expensive than the S&P 500 (^GSPC -0.38%), which trades at 21 times forward earnings. With Nvidia being an above-average company, I think this premium is warranted. But Nvidia's valuation only considers this year's growth, not next year's 70% projection. When that is factored in, Nvidia's valuation falls to below 15 times next year's earnings.

That's an absolute steal, and investors should be taking advantage of Nvidia's cheap stock price.
But does Nvidia still offer life-changing returns? I don't think so. At best, Nvidia's stock could double over the next year, providing a quick return on investment. However, that's just a single doubling. I still think that makes the stock worth buying, but it falls short of setting you up for life.

Australia's Firmus said on Tuesday it had signed a multi-year deal with OpenAI to supply computing capacity from two Malaysian data centres, making the ChatGPT maker an anchor customer as demand surges for infrastructure to run advanced AI models.
Here are the details:
The deal comes ahead of Firmus' rumoured initial public offering this year, which could be one of Australia's largest in recent years.
The AI infrastructure firm was valued at above $10.5 billion in its last fundraising, backed by Nvidia (NVDA.O), Jane Street, Blackstone (BX.N) funds and Coatue Management.
The deal with OpenAI raised Firmus' contracted capacity across customers to more than 900 megawatts (MW).
Firmus' portfolio includes two operational AI data centres in Australia and Singapore, while five are under development across Asia-Pacific.
The deal highlights the widening race among U.S. and Chinese AI groups to secure power and data centre capacity to power increasingly advanced models. OpenAI last week unveiled Astra, which it said was its most capable model yet.
Malaysia has become Southeast Asia's fastest-growing data centre market, but the rapid buildout has drawn scrutiny over electricity and water use.
Firmus will deploy Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin processors at scale across Asia-Pacific, with the addition of Malaysia extending its footprint in the region.
Firmus declined to comment on the contract value, while OpenAI did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Shares of Taiwan's Wistron Corporation fell more than 6% Tuesday after the Nvidia supplier priced a $1.47 billion global depositary receipt offering to fund raw material purchases.
The company said Monday that it priced 25 million global depositary receipts at $58.88 each, representing 250 million new common shares, according to a company filing. The shares were priced at about $186.24 new Taiwan dollars each, roughly a 5.5% discount to Wistron's Monday closing price of NT$197.
The new shares represent about 7.29% of Wistron's outstanding shares before the issuance. Wistron said the offering is expected to be issued on Thursday, with the proceeds earmarked for purchases of raw materials in foreign currencies.
The company's shares are up about 23% so far this year.
The fundraising comes as Wistron expands its AI server business, with the company approving additional capacity investments in Taiwan and the U.S. last month.
Wistron approved NT$10.5 billion in additional capital expenditure for facilities in Taiwan, as well as a combined $53 million for two U.S. subsidiaries to support future AI business expansion.
In July, Wistron opened its first U.S. manufacturing facility, a $700 million AI server plant in Fort Worth, Texas. The facility currently produces Nvidia's GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra systems and is expected to expand production to its next-generation Vera Rubin platform.
For the second quarter, Wistron reported revenue of NT$895.4 billion and profit after tax of NT$14.8 billion.
Wistron is selling equity to fund raw materials and production surrounding Nvidia's AI systems. Summary
Supplier financing can support shipments while keeping the capital raise off Nvidia’s balance sheet.
Nvidia NVDA, the dominant supplier of artificial-intelligence accelerators, secured another boost across its manufacturing network Monday as supplier Wistron raised $1.47 billion. Wistron plans to spend the proceeds on foreign-currency raw materials while scaling AI-server production.
Wistron issued 25 million depositary receipts representing 250 million common shares at a 5.5% discount. The deal dilutes existing shareholders by approximately 7.29%, but it gives the manufacturer fresh financial firepower after opening a $700 million Texas facility that produces Nvidia's latest AI systems.
The raise is roughly 2.1 times the disclosed cost of that factory, although Wistron has not earmarked every dollar for Texas. Nvidia gains from a better-funded supplier capable of purchasing components and pushing out more servers without touching Nvidia's balance sheet. The GuruFocus chart reinforces that strength: Nvidia carries a 95/100 GF Score, powered by exceptional profitability, growth and financial strength, while valuation remains the clearest weak spot. Supplier concentration is still the risk investors cannot ignore.

The three biggest AI-driven stocks that Berkshire still owns are Apple (AAPL -2.51%), Alphabet (GOOG -1.05%) (GOOGL -1.11%), and Moody's (MCO -2.13%). Let's see how these stocks are exposed to the AI market -- and why they're not comparable to Nvidia.

How much do these three stocks matter to Berkshire? Apple is Berkshire's top holding, accounting for 20.2% of its portfolio. Apple generates most of its revenue from the iPhone and other hardware. Still, it's using its Apple Intelligence AI suite to increase the stickiness of its ecosystem and subscription-based services. It's also developed custom chips to run edge AI models locally rather than on a cloud-based platform.
Alphabet, which accounts for 7.4% of Berkshire's portfolio and ranks as its fifth-largest holding, is a more focused AI play. Its Google Cloud Platform and custom chips provide the infrastructure for AI applications, while its Gemini large language model (LLM) and AI upgrades for its search, advertising, and Workspace services are widening its moat and locking in more customers.
Moody's, which accounts for 3.4% of Berkshire's portfolio as its ninth-largest holding, is one of the largest providers of financial data in America. It's using AI to upgrade its economic forecasts and credit rating services, making it a more valuable platform for its enterprise customers.

But why aren't these three stocks comparable to Nvidia? Apple, Alphabet, and Moody's are all sound long-term investments that have generated total returns of 113%, 138%, and 35%, respectively, over the past five years. During that same period, Nvidia's stock delivered a total return of 912% as the AI market expanded.
Past performance never guarantees future gains, but Nvidia still has plenty of irons in the fire. It's the world's largest producer of discrete GPUs for data centers, which are used to train the world's most advanced LLMs. Most of the world's top AI companies -- including Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic -- use its data center GPUs. Nvidia also locks in those customers with its proprietary software and services.
In its latest quarter, Nvidia generated 93% of its revenue from its data center chips. It faces some competition from AMD's cheaper data center GPUs, Broadcom's custom AI accelerators, and newer inference-oriented chips, but Nvidia will likely dominate the general-purpose AI training market for the foreseeable future.
From fiscal 2026 (which ended this January) to fiscal 2029, analysts expect Nvidia's revenue and EPS to both grow at CAGRs of 59%. Those are incredible growth rates for a stock that trades at 23 times this year's earnings. Apple, Alphabet, and Moody's -- which are all growing at much slower rates -- trade at 36, 16, and 30 times this year's earnings, respectively.
Why did Berkshire miss out on Nvidia? Under Warren Buffett, Berkshire avoided Nvidia for the same reason it shunned most tech stocks: it wasn't a business he fully understood. Buffett eventually invested in Apple as a consumer goods play -- while his portfolio managers likely initiated Berkshire's position in Alphabet -- but he likely avoided Nvidia because it was tough to gauge its long-term growth.
Buffett's successor, Greg Abel, also favors Apple and Alphabet over Nvidia as a long-term AI play because they're less exposed to the semiconductor sector's boom-and-bust cycles. As the previous CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Abel also likely sees more growth opportunities in energy infrastructure stocks in the AI market than in individual chipmakers.
So while Berkshire seems to be leaving some money on the table by shunning Nvidia, it's still exposed to the AI market's growth through some of its top stocks. Over the long term, we'll see whether that conservative strategy pays off -- or misses a major technological shift.
Nvidia (NVDA +0.84%)'s stock is having another terrific year in 2026, rising by around 24% thus far. Although it was initially off to a poor start, it's beating the market yet again, as the S&P 500 has risen by a more modest rate of 13%.
The tech giant has been leading the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution with its cutting-edge chips, and its recent quarterly results showcased just how strong demand remains, with its growth rate accelerating from the previous quarter.
Currently, the AI stock is trading around $230 as it approaches a new all-time high. Is it still a good buy at its current levels?

Nvidia's valuation looks low given the growth it's been generatingAt around $5.6 trillion in market cap, Nvidia is easily the most valuable company in the world. What's striking, however, is just how inexpensive the stock is given its high level of profitability.
The stock trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of 29. While that is a bit higher than the S&P 500 average of 24, it's arguably warranted given just how strong its growth has been. Nvidia's revenue for its most recent period, which ended on July 26, totaled $96.2 billion -- a whopping 106% increase year over year. That's a significant acceleration from the 85% growth it reported three months earlier.
Paying such a modest multiple for this type of growth makes Nvidia's stock look like a steal of a deal. CEO Jensen Huang also remains bullish on the future growth of the business, now that AI tokens are paying off. "AI has reached its inflection point. It's doing useful work. Its tokens are productive and profitable. Now, compute is revenue," Huang stated in the company's earnings release.

The caveat with Nvidia's stockNvidia has been a growth beast and its business looks as though it's ramping up at a time when many investors may have assumed it might be due for a slowdown, given an increase in competition. In light of its recent numbers, it wouldn't be surprising for Nvidia's stock to continue to hit new heights this year.
The one risk with the stock, however, is that it depends heavily on many interconnected tech companies and on their continued commitment to spending big on AI. If there's a pullback in AI spending, that could have a drastic and sudden impact on Nvidia's growth. While that doesn't appear likely today, if there's an economic downturn or interest rates rise, there may be increased pressure for companies to scale back capital expenditures. It's a risk that investors who buy Nvidia's stock need to be aware of, because while its valuation doesn't look all that high right now, things could change quickly.
Nvidia Corp‘s (NASDAQ:NVDA) $12.9 billion acquisition of Hugging Face is widely seen as another move to strengthen its position in artificial intelligence. But the bigger opportunity may lie well before AI models ever run on Nvidia’s chips. According to one investor, the deal gives Nvidia a strategic foothold at the very beginning of the AI development process, potentially expanding its influence across a much broader developer ecosystem.
Why Nvidia Bought Hugging FaceWhile Nvidia dominates AI computing, Neostellar Capital principal Willy Lee believes the Hugging Face acquisition is less about owning open-source models and more about shaping how developers build with them.
“The acquisition is less about NVIDIA owning open-source models and more about ensuring that, regardless of which models win, NVIDIA remains deeply embedded in how those models are discovered, customized and ultimately deployed,” Lee said.
He argues the acquisition moves Nvidia upstream in the AI development cycle by giving it “a strategic position much earlier in the developer workflow while also broadening its exposure beyond a relatively concentrated group of frontier labs and hyperscalers.”
That distinction matters because the next wave of AI demand may come from enterprises, startups and developers building specialized applications rather than a handful of well-funded frontier AI labs.
Lee believes open models significantly expand that opportunity by increasing the number of developers and workloads that ultimately require Nvidia’s computing platform.

How Hugging Face Strengthens Nvidia AIRather than relying primarily on large AI companies, Lee sees Hugging Face as a way for Nvidia to deepen adoption of its broader software ecosystem as developers move from experimentation to production.
“NVIDIA can use Hugging Face to make CUDA, NIM, NeMo and its broader software stack easier to adopt as developers move from experimentation into production,” he said.
Hendi Susanto, portfolio manager of the GGTL ETF at Gabelli Funds, echoed that view, saying the acquisition “strengthens its software ecosystem by expanding its presence in open-platform AI software and deepening its strategic relationship with the developer community.”
He added that the deal reinforces Nvidia’s competitive moat while providing “a stronger platform to compete against increasingly capable, lower-cost Chinese AI players.”
Management has also pledged to keep Hugging Face open and hardware-agnostic after the acquisition, allowing developers to continue choosing their preferred models, cloud providers and computing platforms.
Nvidia’s latest acquisition suggests the company is looking beyond GPUs to secure its long-term position in AI. If Lee’s thesis proves correct, the real value of Hugging Face won’t be the models it hosts, but its role as the starting point for millions of developers building AI applications—giving Nvidia an opportunity to expand its ecosystem long before computing demand reaches its chips.
As Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock rallied over 5% last week, catalyzed by record second-quarter earnings for fiscal year 2027 and an upward revision to its long-term revenue guidance driven by relentless demand for its Blackwell Artificial Intelligence (AI) architecture, Finbold’s AI Agent expects another rally towards a new all-time high (ATH) by September 30, 2026.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO:$BTC) may be hovering near the $80,000 mark ahead of a pivotal week for inflation data and the Federal Reserve, but CoinMarketCap says the more revealing shift is happening beneath the surface. Retail traders are increasingly piling into tokenized Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) alongside memecoins and AI-themed tokens, suggesting speculative capital is chasing narratives rather than traditional asset classes.
Retail Is Rotating Beyond BitcoinWhile Bitcoin has remained relatively range-bound, CoinMarketCap’s data points to money rotating elsewhere within the crypto market. The platform’s Altcoin Season Index climbed 59% over the past seven days, rising from 27 to 43, indicating that capital is flowing out of Bitcoin and into alternative digital assets rather than exiting crypto altogether.
“CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index has climbed 59% in seven days. Capital isn’t leaving crypto, it’s rotating out of Bitcoin into everything else,” said Alice Liu, Head of Research at CoinMarketCap. “On our data that is a rotation inside the asset class, not a risk-off event.”
That rotation comes at a cautious moment for markets, with investors awaiting U.S. inflation data on Sept. 11 and the Federal Reserve’s policy decision on Sept. 16.
CoinMarketCap’s prediction-market data currently assigns just a 43.5% probability that Bitcoin will close above $80,000 on Tuesday, underscoring that traders remain far from uniformly bullish.

The more unusual signal, according to Liu, is where retail attention is flowing.
CoinMarketCap’s Community trending board currently features Chinese-language memecoins, tokenized U.S. equities including Nvidia and Tesla, and tokens named after leading AI labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic—all appearing alongside one another.
Trending
“Right now CoinMarketCap’s Community trending board has Chinese-language memecoins, tokenized Nvidia and Tesla, and tickers named after AI labs sitting side by side, one of them up 262% in a day,” Liu said. “Retail attention has stopped distinguishing between crypto assets and everything else.”
Management’s observation suggests retail investors are increasingly organizing around themes rather than asset classes. Our inference is that AI stocks, tokenized equities and speculative crypto assets are competing for the same attention pool, with momentum and narrative sometimes outweighing the distinctions between traditional equities and digital assets.
CoinMarketCap’s data suggests the next phase of retail speculation may be defined less by whether investors choose stocks or crypto and more by the narratives capturing their attention.
As tokenized equities, AI-themed tokens and memecoins increasingly appear in the same conversation, investors may want to watch where retail interest migrates next—not just which asset class it enters.
Jensen Huang just bypassed every earnings call caveat and posted two words on X that the AI industry has been arguing over for years. Whether a 100,000-GPU training run actually proves his point is a much messier question.
NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) CEO Jensen Huang made his most provocative statement of the AI cycle over the weekend, and he made it on X rather than an earnings stage. Responding to news that OpenAI had trained its new GPT-6 Astra model on his company’s flagship silicon, Huang wrote: “GPT-6 Astra, trained on ~100K+ NVIDIA Grace Blackwell NVLink72. From ChatGPT to o1 to Astra in 4 years. AGI has arrived. Congratulations @OpenAI team. 400K GPUs coming online next.”
The post, published September 6, 2026, ties artificial general intelligence directly to NVIDIA hardware. It has since drawn 37,442 likes and 4,196 retweets, and it reframes a debate Huang has been navigating carefully on recent earnings calls.
From Earnings Call Caution to Public Declaration On the August 26, 2026 Q2 FY2027 call, Huang was more measured. Asked directly about AGI and recursive self-improvement, he said “for many tasks, we could say that we’ve already achieved AGI” before pivoting to economics: “I think all of those milestones are kind of senseless at this point. The most important thing that matters for the industry is that one, AI is now doing productive and useful work. Two, AI is generating profitable tokens. And three, if we had more compute, we could generate more profitable tokens.”
That framing was captured in his opening remarks: “AI has reached its inflection point. It’s doing useful work. Its tokens are productive and profitable. Now, compute is revenue.”
Compute Is Revenue, and the Numbers Show It Q2 FY2027 revenue reached $96.22 billion, up 105.8% year over year and beating consensus of $92.07 billion. Data Center revenue hit $89.02 billion, growing 117%. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded to 75.0% from 72.5%, and net income rose 125.9% to $59.69B.
Guidance calls for $108.0 billion in Q3 revenue, and management said it expects fiscal 2028 revenue to grow approximately 70%. Huang described the outlook as supply-constrained, saying “at this moment, we have supply for 70%. Our demand is much higher than that.”
Inside the 100,000 GPU Cluster That Prompted the Claim The Astra cluster follows other six-figure Grace Blackwell deployments NVIDIA has flagged. In Q3 FY26, the company announced the Oracle-built Solstice supercomputer, 100,000 Blackwell GPUs for the U.S. Department of Energy. On the Q2 call, Huang framed the broader buildout in unit economics: Grace Blackwell generates $25 billion per gigawatt in revenue opportunity, and successor Vera Rubin lifts that to $40 billion per gigawatt. Top five hyperscaler capex is expected to reach nearly $800 billion in 2026 and $1.3 trillion in 2027 (all of that spend has to be powered, cooled, and networked by somebody, and we pulled together seven suppliers doing exactly that in a free report here).
Market Response NVDA closed at $230.36 on September 4, 2026, up 5.89% over the past week, 23.67% year to date, and 34.37% over the past year. Market cap sits near $5.56 trillion. Watch whether Huang’s AGI language shows up in Q3 FY27 prepared remarks, and whether the 400,000 GPUs he says are “coming online next” get quantified in future guidance.

Every AI story eventually collapses back to one question: who makes the silicon? This is the layer that sits at the physical floor of the AI stack, and it is where supply sets the pace. On its August earnings call, NVIDIA told investors that fiscal 2028 revenue should grow approximately 70% and explicitly described that outlook as “supply-constrained”, with CEO Jensen Huang adding that “our entire supply chain is challenged. And everybody is really running flat out.” The chip designers below have the orders. Getting the wafers, memory, substrates, and power to fill them is the fight.
NVIDIA: From GPU Vendor to Full Stack AI Factory NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) reported Q2 FY2027 revenue of $96.221 billion, up 105.85% year over year, with Data Center revenue of $89.023 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $2.22 against a $2.0887 consensus. Guidance for Q3 FY2027 is $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. Shares closed at $230.36 on September 4, up 23.67% year to date and 34.37% over the past year.
What is actually being sold has changed. Management described NVIDIA as offering “a full-stack AI factory platform” spanning the Vera CPU, Rubin GPU, NVLink and InfiniBand, Ethernet networking, systems, algorithms, and CUDA software. In plain language, NVIDIA now ships the compute, the plumbing that connects it, the racks it goes into, and the software layer developers write against. Revenue opportunity per gigawatt of AI infrastructure has expanded from roughly $18 billion per gigawatt with Hopper to $25 billion per gigawatt with Blackwell to $40 billion per gigawatt with Vera Rubin. NVIDIA also disclosed partnerships with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital for AI infrastructure, plus a SoftBank Energy campus in Ohio hosting NVIDIA compute for OpenAI under 20-year leases.
Bull case in plain language: NVIDIA now captures more dollars per gigawatt every generation, and CUDA keeps the developer base locked in. Management said “NVIDIA Compute is fully utilized across every cloud we serve”, and hyperscalers are sitting on cloud backlogs greater than $2 trillion. Adoption trends support the runway: US firm-level AI adoption has grown from approximately 4% in January 2024 to over 20% by late 2026, currently at 22.4% as of September 2026.
Risk: $279B in supply obligations, no assumed China Data Center compute revenue in the outlook, and concentrated exposure to a handful of hyperscale and frontier-lab customers. The stock trades at 46x trailing earnings.
Broadcom: Custom Accelerators and the Rest of the Network Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) posted Q3 FY2026 revenue of $29.59 billion, up 85.5% year over year, with AI semiconductor revenue of $16.70 billion, up 221%. Q4 AI semiconductor guidance is $21.7 billion, and management framed a fiscal 2027 AI outlook of approximately $115 billion and fiscal 2028 AI outlook of $230 billion.
Broadcom does two things at this layer. First, it co-designs custom AI accelerators, called XPUs, with a handful of hyperscale customers who want silicon tuned to their own workloads instead of a general-purpose GPU. Second, it supplies the Ethernet switch chips and optical DSPs that move data between those accelerators. XPUs represented 73% of AI revenue during the quarter, and CEO Hock Tan said custom accelerators can run frontier models at “half the cost of a GPU.” Named deployments include Google TPU v8i in high volume, one gigawatt of Ironwood for Anthropic in 2026, and Jalapeno, OpenAI’s first-generation custom accelerator.
Bull case: Broadcom is the largest structural alternative to selling everything to NVIDIA, and its Tomahawk 6 switch silicon is deployed by “pretty much all of the AI hyperscalers”, including customers not using Broadcom XPUs. Shares are up 17.78% over the past year at $357.90, though the stock is down 14.44% over the past month after its post-earnings pullback.
Risk: Broadcom’s AI business rests on six XPU customers. Any slippage in Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or Meta buildouts flows straight through the model. The company also carries significant indebtedness.
AMD: EPYC, Instinct, and the Helios Rack Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $11.536 billion, up 50.11% year over year, with Data Center revenue of $6.718 billion, up 107%. Non-GAAP EPS was $1.66. Q3 guidance is approximately $13 billion, plus or minus $300 million.
AMD sells two things at this layer. EPYC server CPUs, which are the general-purpose processors that manage AI systems and run the rest of the data center, and Instinct GPU accelerators, which compete directly with NVIDIA on training and inference. Helios, AMD’s rack-scale platform, bundles EPYC Venice CPUs, MI450 series GPUs, Pensando networking, and Rackham software into a single pre-integrated rack. CEO Lisa Su said “customer pull for Helios is very strong and tracking ahead of our initial forecasts.” Anthropic committed to deploy up to 2 gigawatts of MI450 Series GPUs in Helios racks, and Meta plans up to 6 gigawatts of Instinct capacity. AMD now expects the data-center AI accelerator market to grow more than 45% annually to approximately $1.4 trillion by 2030, per its own management framework disclosed on the Q2 call.
Bull case: AMD is the only credible second-source GPU vendor at scale, and shares reflect that view, up 195.18% over the past year and 123% year to date at $477.57. EPYC continues to take x86 server share.
Risk: valuation is stretched at 180x earnings, HBM memory supply is tight, and US export controls on AI accelerators remain a live constraint.
Marvell: The Custom Silicon and Interconnect Specialist Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL) delivered Q2 FY2027 revenue of $2.739 billion, up 36.5% year over year, with Data Center revenue of $2.1715 billion, up 46% and representing 79% of total revenue. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.94. Q3 guidance is $3.150 billion, plus or minus 5%.
Marvell operates in two adjacent parts of the silicon layer. It designs custom XPU chips and XPU-attached silicon (inference accelerators, storage controllers, network interface controllers, memory interface controllers, CXL products) for hyperscalers, and it makes the high-speed optical DSPs and Ethernet scale-out switch silicon that connect AI clusters together. In plain language, Marvell builds the specialized chips that let hyperscalers move data between racks, between rows, and increasingly between data centers, at 800G and 1.6T speeds. Marvell also disclosed an expanded custom silicon partnership with Google that includes a warrant allowing Google to acquire up to 7% of Marvell shares tied to revenue milestones. Management said the custom business will “more than double year over year in fiscal 2028” and accelerate significantly in fiscal 2029.
Bull case: Marvell’s optical DSPs, 51.2T switch silicon, and scale-up optics are on trajectory toward $1 billion annualized revenue run rate each, and CEO Matt Murphy said “the magnitude of our scale-up optics opportunity next year is much larger than we thought just a quarter ago.” Shares are up 249.5% over the past year at $223.55, with an Investor Day on October 6, 2026.
Risk: heavy customer concentration in a small number of hyperscalers, plus the ongoing risk that those same customers vertically integrate more of the design work in-house. $4.96B long-term debt on the balance sheet.
Intel: Xeon, Foundry, and a Live Turnaround Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) reported Q2 2026 revenue of $16.13 billion, up 25.42% year over year, its strongest revenue growth in more than fifteen years. Data Center and AI revenue was $6.26 billion, up 59%. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.42 against a $0.2175 consensus. Intel Foundry still posted a $2.1 billion quarterly operating loss. Q3 guidance is $15.8 billion to $16.8 billion.
Intel plays two roles here. Xeon server CPUs remain the host processors that pair with AI accelerators, and Xeon 6 was selected as the host CPU for NVIDIA’s DGX Rubin NVL8. Intel Foundry is the second bet: Intel 18A is now in volume production, Intel 18AP is in risk production, and the company is positioning itself as an alternative US-based wafer supplier for advanced logic. CEO Lip-Bu Tan said “AI is driving unprecedented demand for compute” and that server CPU demand “continues to far outpace available supply.” Purpose-built silicon revenue nearly tripled year over year, and CFO David Zinsner said the ASIC business is approaching a $2 billion run rate, with a target of $4 billion.
Bull case: Xeon demand is the strongest on record, 18A is ramping ahead of internal targets, and the US government now holds an equity stake, alongside a $5.0 billion NVIDIA equity investment. Shares are up 289.27% over the past year and 159.62% year to date at $95.80.
Risk: Intel Foundry remains deeply unprofitable, capital intensity is enormous, and management has said Intel 14A depends on securing sufficient external customer demand. The turnaround is real, but so is the execution burden.
What This Layer Says About the Rest of the Stack The silicon layer is where the AI buildout starts and where it currently stops. NVIDIA has moved past the chip vendor label and now sells the platform that hyperscalers, sovereigns, and frontier labs build on, with revenue per gigawatt rising every generation. Broadcom, AMD, Marvell, and Intel each attack a different piece of the same problem: custom accelerators, second-source GPUs, custom interconnect, host CPUs, and domestic wafer capacity. All five are blue-chip mega-caps with real revenue attached to named hyperscaler deployments, and all five are supply-constrained heading into 2027. Every one of those gigawatts also has to be powered, cooled, and networked by somebody else, which is the angle we took in a free report on seven AI infrastructure suppliers that aren’t chipmakers.

AI is embedding itself in ordinary business operations, and the compute footprint required to sustain that shift is expanding faster than the industry can build. Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research finds that 22.4% of firms are already using AI in their regular business functions, while another 25.9% expect to begin using it within the next six months. If those plans convert, more than 48% of businesses could soon be running AI in daily operations. That is the demand curve behind the AI infrastructure buildout. Goldman also projects United States data center power demand rising from roughly 31 gigawatts in 2025 to 66 gigawatts by 2027, while the IEA expects global data center electricity use to climb from about 485 terawatt-hours in 2025 to 950 terawatt-hours by 2030. The clearest beneficiaries are the companies selling the picks, shovels, wires, and power gear.
1. NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) is the foundational AI compute layer. Q2 FY27 revenue hit $96.22 billion, up 105.8% year over year, with Data Center revenue of $89.02 billion, up 117%. Management guided Q3 to $108.0 billion plus or minus 2% and expects revenue to grow approximately 70% in fiscal 2028. CEO Jensen Huang framed the moment bluntly: “This is a supply-constrained outlook”, adding that “our entire supply chain is challenged”. Vera Rubin has orders from every major hyperscaler and is expected to be the fastest ramp in company history, with revenue per gigawatt climbing from roughly $18 billion under Hopper to $25 billion for Blackwell and $40 billion for Vera Rubin. Shares are up 23.67% year to date. Key risks: memory pricing, China exposure, and the sheer scale of hyperscaler capex commitments.
2. Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO) Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) is the custom silicon and AI networking counterweight to NVIDIA. Q3 FY26 revenue was $29.59 billion, up 85.5%, with AI semiconductor revenue of $16.7 billion, up 221% year over year. CEO Hock Tan expects fiscal 2027 AI revenue of roughly $115 billion and fiscal 2028 AI semiconductor revenue of $230 billion, powered by TPU work for Google, Anthropic’s Ironwood and TPU v8i deployments, and OpenAI’s Jalapeno accelerator. AVGO also taped out Tomahawk 7, the industry’s first 200 terabit per second Ethernet switch. Shares trade near $357.90. The risk is stark customer concentration among a handful of frontier labs and hyperscalers.
3. Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) owns the Ethernet fabric that lets thousands of GPUs behave like one machine. Q2 FY26 delivered its first $3 billion quarter at $3.036 billion, up 37.7%, with non-GAAP EPS of $1.02. Management raised the 2026 outlook to roughly $12.6 billion and now serves more than 100 cumulative EtherLink AI-fabric customers. CEO Jayshree Ullal argues “networking is the central nervous system for infrastructure from the client to campus to data and AI centers”. The stock is up 47.89% year to date. The catch: Ullal warned that industry-wide component tightness may not ease until 2028.
4. Vertiv Holdings (NYSE: VRT) Vertiv Holdings (NYSE:VRT) supplies the power trains, thermal loops, and liquid cooling that make AI factories physically possible. Q2 2026 revenue was $3.274 billion, up 24.1%, adjusted operating margin expanded 410 basis points to 22.6%, and free cash flow rose 234% to $925.3 million. FY2026 guidance was raised to $13.80 billion to $14.20 billion in sales with adjusted EPS of $6.65 to $6.75. Vertiv is co-developing 800 volt DC power architectures with NVIDIA and just announced the acquisition of UtilityInnovation Group to accelerate time to power for AI data centers. Shares are up 73.23% year to date. Watch execution risk on multi-phase hyperscale projects and EMEA softness.
5. Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS) is the neocloud sitting between GPU scarcity and enterprise demand. Q2 2026 revenue exploded 454% year over year to $582.3 million, with the AI Cloud segment up 514% and remaining performance obligations of $37.5 billion. Nebius raised its year-end contracted power target to 5 gigawatts, and NVIDIA identified Nebius as the first customer for volume Groq 3 LPX shipments. Its first capacity auction cleared at 15% above the highest price it had ever charged for Blackwell. Shares have surged 170.46% year to date. Risks: heavy capex, convertible dilution, and three customers accounting for 24%, 21%, and 14% of Q2 revenue.
Conclusion: One Buildout, Five Pressure Points The through-line is simple. Top hyperscaler capex is tracking toward nearly $800 billion in 2026 and $1.3 trillion in 2027, and cloud backlog already exceeds $2 trillion. Compute, custom silicon, Ethernet fabrics, power and cooling, and neocloud capacity are all bottlenecks at once. That creates real earnings leverage for these five names, but also concentrated risk: memory pricing, tariff exposure, land and power permitting, and heavy dependence on a small set of frontier-model customers. Beyond the chipmakers, the suppliers wiring, cooling, and powering the buildout are where a lot of the quieter money is being made, and we profiled seven of them in a free report you can grab here. If everyday AI adoption follows the Goldman survey trajectory, the constraint will remain physical for years.

Key Headlines Impacting NVIDIA Here are the key news stories impacting NVIDIA this week:
Positive Sentiment: Hugging Face expands NVIDIA’s AI ecosystem: The acquisition gives NVIDIA access to Hugging Face’s open-source platform, which hosts millions of models, applications and datasets used by more than 18 million developers. Investors view the deal as a way to deepen CUDA adoption, strengthen NVIDIA’s software moat and position the company as an AI platform provider rather than solely a chip supplier. Management says Hugging Face will remain open to the broader AI ecosystem. Why NVIDIA’s defensive move to acquire Hugging Face is about much more than chips Positive Sentiment: New consumer AI revenue channel: Lenovo and Acer are expected to launch Windows PCs powered by NVIDIA’s RTX Spark chip in October. Local AI processing could expand NVIDIA’s addressable market while reducing reliance on cloud data centers. HP also announced new OmniBook PCs using RTX Spark technology.

Recent earnings showed revenue growth above 100%, a 63.7% net margin and results ahead of consensus, while management’s long-term outlook continues to imply robust AI infrastructure spending.
