NVDA price prediction: Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) has emerged as one of the most influential companies in the technology sector, particularly known for its graphics processing units (GPUs) and its significant role in accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning applications.

Nvidia stock news today: Leading technology companies are making substantial investments in artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. For instance, Microsoft plans to allocate $80 billion this year to enhance its AI capabilities. Similarly, Amazon is increasing its total capital expenditure across retail and cloud operations to $100 billion to advance its AI initiatives. Meta Platforms is also committing $65 billion to its data centers to support its AI ambitions.
 


Implications for Nvidia Stock


This surge in spending bodes well for Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), which holds a dominant position in the AI accelerator market. With AMD providing a weaker forecast for its AI chip sales, Nvidia is poised to capture a significant share of the increased investment in AI technologies.

The Need for Justification
While the outlook for AI accelerator sales appears promising—AMD previously projected $500 billion in industrywide revenue by 2028—investors must consider a critical question: How can this immense spending be justified? If companies are investing hundreds of billions in AI accelerators and related infrastructure, these expenditures must yield new revenue streams or cost efficiencies.
 


Nvidia's Valuation and Market Expectations


Nvidia's current valuation is largely driven by optimistic projections of sustained revenue and profit growth. The stock trades at over 40 times expected earnings for fiscal 2025. With a market capitalization exceeding $3 trillion, Nvidia reported $20 billion in adjusted net income last quarter. For Nvidia's stock price to remain justified, the market for AI accelerators needs to continue its rapid expansion.


Investors are not just accounting for the possibility that AI accelerator demand could plateau; they are also concerned about the potential for a sharp decline in demand. What happens to Nvidia's stock if, despite massive investments from Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta, these companies fail to achieve reasonable returns?
 


The FOMO Phenomenon


The current AI investment frenzy appears driven by a "fear of missing out" (FOMO). Major tech firms are anxious to avoid being left behind, resulting in aggressive spending. While there is significant demand for AI computing resources, a portion of this might be experimental—companies testing AI applications to evaluate their financial viability. When some of these trials do not yield expected results, how will that affect overall demand?


Additionally, consider the emergence of companies like DeepSeek, which have developed competitive AI models at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. If high-performance AI models no longer require extensive arrays of accelerators, what will that mean for demand?
 


Approaching Peak Nvidia?


It may be time to consider that we are nearing "peak Nvidia." The narratives and forecasts supporting the AI boom could soon falter. AI is undoubtedly a transformative technology, akin to the internet, but like the early days of the internet, it is fostering expectations that may not align with reality. While the internet revolutionized numerous sectors, it also led to significant losses for many investors.
 


Future Uncertainties


I could be mistaken in my assessment. It is certainly plausible that the vast sums being invested in AI infrastructure will ultimately prove to be sound financial decisions, sustaining demand for AI accelerators long into the future. Nvidia might even release an impressive forecast that propels its stock to new heights. Anything is possible in the market.
However, I would hesitate to be an Nvidia shareholder on February 26 when the company reports its next earnings. Expectations are exceedingly high, and any signs of trouble could trigger a sharp decline in the stock price.
 


Should You Invest in Nvidia?


Before deciding to invest in Nvidia, it’s important to consider the broader context. The Motley Fool’s Stock Advisor team has identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, and Nvidia is not among them. The selected stocks are expected to yield substantial returns in the coming years.
Looking back at when Nvidia was included in a similar list on April 15, 2005, an investment of $1,000 would have grown to $850,946 by now. The Stock Advisor has achieved an average return of 959%, significantly outperforming the 178% return of the S&P 500.
 


Conclusion


Investing in Nvidia presents both opportunities and risks. While the company stands to benefit from the AI boom, potential investors should weigh the high market expectations against the uncertainties in demand and profitability. As the landscape evolves, it’s crucial to remain informed and cautious about the implications of these significant investments in AI technology.
