NVIDIA CorporationNVDATOP PICKFeb 19, 2026Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Sep 15, 2026. Market Open.
Exploding growth, visibly growing 48% compounded annually from 2026-2030. Trading 14x PE for 2028. Just beat and raised. Moat. Exceptional margins of 75%. Concerns on circular financing. 5 customers control 70% annual recurring revenue. Competition is trying to break in. Cyclical.
People aren't crediting it with enough value. Still a Buy. Still going to go up a lot. Yield is 0.45%.
Critics say Nvida is making investments to keep all their balls in the air -- making money by paying their customers, which is called circular financing. It's considered a sign of danger, because we saw this happen leading up to the Dotcom collapse. He strongly disagrees. NVDA's CEO knows that the companies that are using his chips are starting to make a ton of money, so why not back them up? The Dell CEO confirmed that to him.
We saw NVDA jump yesterday after another quarter of blowout earnings. They surprised on both the top and bottom line. EPS growth rate of 111% versus this time last year! Sales growth of 106%. Question is whether that's going to be sustainable long-term?
Not that it won't continue to be innovative and profitable, but some of these tech giants in the AI space have analyst expectations set very high.
He will watch to see if the monetizing of this $1.5 trillion infrastructure will happen. It's still early innings. Some say this is like Cisco in 2000, but NVDA is a high value-added product. NVDA will maintain and increase pricing power. NVDA is the centre of the AI trade.
There's little chance their earnings will disappoint. There's a 75% chance they will meet expectations and talk about a good Q3. They could talk about their next-generation chip, too. All this could lift the stock after being sideways. A dividend won't move the needle and it's premature. From October 2022 to October 2025, NVDA rose 1,700%, but much slower in the past year. But this could be a base to accelerate again; it's trading at its 100-day moving average.
Continues to improve, seeing higher highs and higher lows. Earnings will be a really good tell for the market. Semis have really come under pressure. Whatever NVDA does after tonight, the broader semis will follow suit. We know that it'll print great numbers, but where will the guidance fit in with expectations and is that already priced in?
Their earnings in recent years have been spectacular, but the stock price is waiting for earnings to catch up. 60-70x PE is unsustainable. The stock has been flat in recent months, but the PE has been declining. Its forward PE is in the low-20s. Is concerned that a lot of their business in concentrated in hyperscalers like Meta and Microsoft; if they reduce their capex spend, it will impact NVDA's profits.
Stock hasn't made anyone any $$ since summer. Circular financing is a concern, as is possible AI bubble (or not) and increasing competition from the likes of GOOG and AMZN. (Investors, rightly, have very painful memories of JDS Uniphase.) What's going to happen on the other side of the mountain beyond this cyclicality? Investors like Burry are betting against it with put options.
(Analysts’ price target is $257.76)Doubters are way too early. Just expanded a deal with META for millions more. Blackwell sales off the charts. Q3 beat, earnings were up 65%. Earnings report next Wednesday will be a big moment for the market. Big players still want to buy chips from it, not from each other. Excellent risk/reward.
Where else are you going to find a company growing at 39%, owned this widely, and trading at 24x PE? Crowded trade, but more to go. Making a mistake if you don't own it. Yield is 0.02%.
