- Elon Musk and SpaceX Just Delivered Incredible News to Nvidia That Could Help the Stock Double in the Next Year
Elon Musk said SpaceX (SPCX) plans to aggressively ramp up AI infrastructure spending to reach annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $500 billion to $1 trillion by the end of 2027, and that SpaceX will use Nvidia chips exclusively, including the Vera Rubin architecture. He projected up to 3 GW of compute capacity by the end of 2026 and an incremental 10 GW in 2027, while the goal of 20 more GW is a “non-zero possibility.” The author estimates Nvidia could earn about $40 billion in revenue per GW with Vera Rubin, or around $400 billion from 10 GW. The author's model projects fiscal 2028 revenue near $850 billion versus the $692 billion analyst consensus, and adjusted EPS of $20.72 versus $15.91. At the current forward P/E of 13.5 times, the stock would be around $415; at a market multiple of 19, around $580.
