Nvidia reported $96.22B in quarterly revenue, up 105.8% year over year, and guided to $108B for the current quarter, yet the stock is up only 15.08% year to date. The article says reaching $350 in 2027 would require a 63.5% gain from the $214.13 price, and its model's central estimate is $258.42. Key risks include investor worries about AI funding, $279B in supply commitments, and guidance that excludes China data center compute revenue. The author says this scenario depends on Vera Rubin ramping as the fastest launch in Nvidia's history, supply easing and markets not pricing in a funding scare, calling $350 'a stretch, but a credible one.'

- Nvidia's Valuation and Narrative Risk are High Now So Act Accordingly
Nvidia beat earnings forecasts again, reporting revenue of $96.22B, up 105.8%, and EPS of $2.22 versus $2.09 consensus, its sixth straight beat. Yet the stock, at $214.13, has barely moved over the past month, reflecting concern about the company funding its own demand: $108.5B in guarantee obligations, nearly $50 billion invested in frontier AI labs, and gross margin that may bottom at 71% to 72% on memory costs. Guidance points to $108.0B in revenue next quarter, and the $328.72 consensus target across 62 analysts implies about 53.5% upside. The article stresses tracking receivables (DSO rose to 60 days from 45), margins and financing quarter by quarter.
- Why Did NVIDIA (NVDA) Rise Only 19% While Its Suppliers Did Far Better?
NVIDIA (NVDA) closed at $217.23 on October 15 and has returned 9.52% over six months, trailing the 15.4% return of the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index and 11.4% of the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. Over the past year the stock rose 16.48%, while chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor gained 43.10% and memory supplier Micron gained 360.14%. The article argues the business itself is sound: revenue in the latest quarter rose 105.9% year over year, earnings grew even faster, and operating margin stands at 66.24%. It says NVIDIA was repriced earlier in the cycle than its suppliers, whose earnings the market still treats as temporary. Shares trade at 24.88 times next year's expected earnings, against 28.51 times last year's, because earnings have climbed faster than the share price.
- NVIDIA's Price Implies Less Growth Than Its History
- Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Price Lags Massive Earnings Growth—A Compelling Value Opportunity
Munro Partners' Munro Global Growth Fund posted a -12.6% net return in Q3 2026, trailing the MAET.ASX return of -13.8%, with long holdings the main detractors. The fund's letter named NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) its largest contributor, citing strong earnings growth and guidance for at least 70% revenue growth next fiscal year, versus consensus of 45%. Nvidia reported quarterly revenue of USD96.2bn in August, up 106% year on year, and management said growth would have been closer to 100% without supply constraints. As of October 12, 2026, NVDA closed at $214.13, down 4.23% over the past month and up 19.23% over the past year, with a $5.16 trillion market cap and a 52-week range of $164.27 to $243.37. The fund says demand for semiconductors and AI remains strong, creating a constructive setup as capex and political fears are now priced in.
- This Magnificent Seven Stock Could Make Investors Richer by 2027
The article assesses NVIDIA, which trades at $222.58, up 19.63% year to date, and says reaching $400 by the end of 2027 would require about an 80% gain. The consensus price target is $328.72, implying 47.7% upside, and analysts expect fiscal 2028 revenue of $692.2 billion, up 68% from $411.7 billion, with EPS of $15.9146. At $400, the forward P/E would be about 25x, versus roughly 14x fiscal 2028 earnings at the current price. Catalysts cited include the Vera Rubin ramp, top five hyperscaler capex rising from nearly $800 billion in 2026 to $1.3 trillion in 2027, and demand exceeding supply. Risks include China data center revenue being excluded from guidance, gross margins falling to 71% to 72% in Q4 due to memory costs, and a beta of 2.216.
- TSMC Says AI Chip Demand Is Still Far Above What It Can Supply. That's Why I'd Buy Nvidia Stock.
TSMC reported third-quarter revenue of $46.7 billion, above the top of its $44.6–45.8 billion forecast range, with high-performance computing (including AI chips) making up 68% of total revenue. It guided fourth-quarter revenue to $52.3–54.3 billion and now sees 2026 revenue growing about 44% in U.S. dollars. Chairman and CEO C.C. Wei said AI chip demand is still far above supply and that there was no sign of slowdown. Meanwhile, Nvidia shares fell about 9% from their October 6 record close, ending October 15 at $217.23. The author argues the gap between TSMC's results and Nvidia's share price makes the stock worth buying, at about 14 times expected earnings versus about 19 times for TSMC, while advising keeping the position small given its volatility.

- Amazon (AMZN): Can Custom AI Silicon Outpace Capex Commitments?
Amazon opened its Trainium AI chips to every PyTorch developer, letting engineers run existing code on its own hardware without rewriting it. The chips business is selling at an annual pace above $25 billion, and AWS sales grew 37% in the second quarter, up from 17% a year earlier, while CEO Andy Jassy said the AI business has also passed a $25 billion annual run rate. Anthropic and OpenAI have made multi-year commitments to Trainium. However, AI-related spending pushed free cash flow to an outflow of $7.6 billion over the past 12 months, versus an inflow of $18.2 billion a year earlier, and long-term debt rose to $128.9 billion from $65.6 billion at the end of last year. Second-quarter operating income rose 43% to $27.5 billion, but the article says the stock now depends on AWS demand lasting long enough for cash flow to recover.
- Anthropic Has Locked In Over $600 Billion of Computing, More Than Intel Is Worth. It Still Wants More and That’s Big News for AMD.
Ahead of its IPO, Anthropic has committed more than $600 billion to computing, more than Intel's $484.7 billion market value, according to leaked reports of its S-1 filing. The article cites three different totals: $518 billion of signed commitments (Reuters, late September), above $600 billion (Crypto Briefing), and a possible $750 billion of extra computing spending over several years (Wall Street Journal). Anthropic reportedly brought in $16.3 billion of revenue in the first half of 2026 but posted an $80.7 billion net loss, mostly from accounting charges. AMD said Anthropic will deploy up to 2 gigawatts of its MI450 GPUs starting in the first half of 2027, and AMD's second-quarter revenue rose 50.1% to $11.54 billion, with Data Center revenue up 107% to $6.72 billion. The article says the risks center on Anthropic's hard-to-cancel commitments, its losses and its dependence on an IPO, and notes AMD trades at a P/E of 201.
- AI bottlenecks 'keep shifting': Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang explains
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking with Deirdre Bosa at Nvidia GTC Berlin, said AI bottlenecks keep shifting, moving from wafers to CoWoS, HBM memory, silicon photonics and connectors, and now to power. He said power is often available, but land, power shells, generator delivery, grid connections and construction limits create the problem, and permitting rules differ across countries and states. Huang argued Nvidia is resilient because it supports every AI model, cloud provider and computer company across every country, so it can ship chips wherever a bottleneck is resolved. He expected these physical bottlenecks to persist for a couple more years as AI factories ramp up.
- Nvidia (NVDA) Is Trading Like Growth Will Stop. The Numbers Say Otherwise.
A hotter-than-expected inflation report pushed Nvidia down more than 3% in one session, as investors worried about interest rate hikes that would raise borrowing costs for companies building AI data centers. Fiscal second-quarter revenue still reached $96.2 billion, up 106%, with data center sales up 117%, and the company guided fiscal third-quarter revenue to $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, excluding data center compute sales to China. Gross margin was 75.0% in the quarter. The article's main question is whether Nvidia's customers can keep paying for chips, pointing to CoreWeave's sharp drop after its bond yield chart spread online and the doubts it raised about its heavy debt. Nvidia has announced financing partnerships with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR aimed at bringing more than $500 billion of outside capital into AI infrastructure over time, though definitive agreements are still needed.
- Bitcoin price tags $84.6K as US stocks head higher on SpaceX Q3 earnings beat
Bitcoin rose nearly 2% to $84,600, its first time at that level since Oct. 7, as US stocks gained after SpaceX reported third-quarter revenue of $14.6 billion, up 161% year over year and beating expectations by nearly 15%. SpaceX also posted net income of $4.4 billion, and analysts at Truist Securities said its results helped calm fears over corporate spending on AI buildouts. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 0.7% early in the session before giving back some gains, while South Korea's KOSPI finished 3.29% higher at 5,735 points. Rekt Capital said Bitcoin needed a daily close above $83,400 to shift focus higher, and that a rejection there could send price below $82,500.
- Bybit will look for big broker partnerships to take on Robinhood in the U.S.
Bybit CEO Ben Zhou said the exchange plans to enter the U.S. through a partnership with an established local firm, such as Interactive Brokers, rather than pursue state-by-state licenses that could take two to three years. He noted Bybit, which has over 80 million registered users in more than 180 countries and regions, has a clean U.S. record and would wait for the Clarity Act or a clearer federal regulator before moving rather than rushing in. Zhou described the U.S. as competitive and saturated, and pointed to the U.K. as a relatively untapped market with a new crypto regime and no dominant global exchange, though entry costs are very high. Bybit also plans to launch an everything app offering derivatives and tokenized stocks in Europe as early as the first quarter of next year.
