Nvidia's Resilience Amid A.I. Bubble Concerns Erodes Wall Street Confidence
Nvidia's stock market surge after reporting a beat in earnings and guidance has defied expectations of an Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) bubble bursting, but investor caution remains. Despite this resilience, concerns over lofty valuations and high-profile exits from investors continue to persist.
Analysts such as Wedbush analyst Dan Ives have argued that the A.I. boom is far from over, citing strong demand for Nvidia's upcoming Blackwell and Rubin chips and a $2 billion data-center revenue beat. However, some notable investors, including famed short-seller Michael Burry, remain bearish on the stock due to high valuations.
Notable sellers of Nvidia stock include Peter Thiel and SoftBank, which recently unwound a $5.8 billion stake in the company. Concerns over A.I. infrastructure costs have led to accusations that tech giants are overstating depreciation to inflate earnings through 2028.
Analysts such as Joseph Schuster and Jane Edmondson, head of thematic strategy at ETF research firm VettaFI, suggest that Nvidia's price-to-sales ratio of 30x is unsustainable but agree with the company's growth prospects. They point out that Nvidia's order books are strong and expect significant business to come in.
However, these bullish views are tempered by concerns that investor sentiment is shifting towards a "risk-off" market, with investors taking profits from recent gains. Some analysts predict that Nvidia could see further downside in the weeks ahead, potentially falling to $165-$170 per share.
Despite this volatility, experts believe that Nvidia's long-term fundamentals remain intact and that the A.I. industry is still in its early stages of growth. As the market matures, it is likely that winners and losers will become clearer, with firms boasting their own growth capital emerging stronger than those reliant on leverage.
