The analyst recommends buying Nvidia stock primarily because he expects it to greatly benefit from the recent quickly developing momentum in artificial intelligence.
Nvidia’s full-stack of accelerated silicon/systems/software/developers positions it uniquely to lead the nascent generative artificial intelligence arms-race among global cloud and enterprise customers.
Arya does expect volatility in the near-term following a massive year-to-date rally but is convinced that the pullback, if it realizes, won’t last long.
Nvidia Corporation could grow at a 34% CAGR
Nvidia Corporation is scheduled to report its Q4 results next week. Consensus is for it to earn 48 cents a share this quarter – down significantly from $1.14 a share last year.
Still, Vivek Arya is convinced that the company will see a boost to the total addressable market (TAM) of its accelerator business over the next five years to $62 billion on the back of generative AI.
We have constructed a new model that predicts Nvidia’s sales/pf-EPS could grow at a 25% to 34% CAGR to >$14/sh by CY27E as adoption of generative AI quadruples the addressable oppty for AI accelerators.
Nvidia stock is currently up more than 50% versus the start of the year.
