Stock price when the opinion was issued
Marries hardware and software and applying massive improvements to push product cycle forward. AI wouldn't exist if not for NVDA. Capex cycles do end, so it won't be the honeymoon period forever.

No contest. This is the one to own.

The new NVDA chips allow chatbots to reason--reasoning will be the holy grail of the AI generation. Selling ahead of this week's report is wrong.
She has taken profits many times. It reports earnings on Wednesday and she doesn't like to buy before earnings. Expectations are high and valuation is a sticking point. She sees an upside potential of 8% and analysts are changing to a hold. She still likes the AI theme. Be patient if buying.
