near-term

Despite a strong narrative around AI infrastructure, NVDA's pricing power is under pressure due to competition from custom silicon such as TPU and Trainium. This, coupled with hyperscalers' capex discipline, suggests continued downward pressure on NVDA's price. The positive narrative has not translated into price gains, as seen in its persistent 'story not being paid' state.

medium-term

Over the next 3-6 months, NVDA's trajectory may improve if they can demonstrate superior economics from the Blackwell ramp or if there is a relaxation in China's export controls affecting data-center revenues.

fork conditions
  • Blackwell ramp economics outperform custom silicon
  • Relaxation of China export controls
upside risk
Significant breakthroughs in AI infrastructure adoption that drive hyperscaler capex beyond current expectations.
downside risk
Further erosion of pricing power due to intensified competition from custom silicon solutions.
