has been on a remarkable run this year, with its shares surging by an impressive 89% year-to-date. The chip giant's success can largely be attributed to this year’s hottest trend: Generative AI. The company is widely recognized as a leader in the field and seen as one set to benefit from increased adoption of the tech.
In fact, with a view to next month’s F1Q earnings (May 24), Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore thinks all the hoopla around AI should result in a strong report.
“We see a positive setup for NVIDIA in this quarter's earnings, with checks indicating that the significant enthusiasm we've seen from AI adopters has translated into reacceleration for data center (DC) product,” the 5-star analyst said.
Moore also sees the flagship AI chip H100 and the return of its predecessor, the A100, driving the quarter’s growth.
Moreover, looking ahead, with Nvidia’s state-of-the-art AI/ML hardware solutions given a proper boost from all the enthusiasm around generative AI, over the next 5 years, the DC business should be responsible for much of the anticipated growth.
But not only the DC segment. Moore also gives a shout out to Nvidia’s once main breadwinner – Gaming. After several quarters of declining growth, the segment showed signs it was coming back to life in FQ4 (January quarter) and with anticipated tailwinds from 40-series product over the course of the year, Moore sees an “opportunity for the company to reaccelerate growth in the gaming business.”
Down to the nitty-gritty, what does it all mean for investors? Moore currently rates the shares as Overweight (i.e., Buy) while his $304 price target suggests they will be changing hands for a 10% premium a year from now. (To watch Moore’s track record,
