NVDA Stock Forecast and Analysis: 3 opportunities and 2 risks

What are the 3 opportunities and 2 risks for NVIDIA? How to invest in NVIDIA stock? NVIDIA(NVDA) stock buy or sell？

NVIDIA Stock Forecast and Analysis 2021

First, because in the third quarter of 2020, NVIDIA's revenue and profit have set record highs. Among them, revenue was 4.73 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 57% year-on-year, and analysts expected it to be 4.41 billion U.S. dollars.

NVIDIA's revenue

Earnings per share were 2.91 US dollars, analysts expected to be 2.57 US dollars. It can be seen that both revenue and profit have exceeded analysts’ expectations.

NVIDIA expects its fourth-quarter revenue to be US$4.8 billion, in line with analysts’ expectations of US$4.42 billion.

Second, the current market value of NVIDIA is much higher than the combined market value of Intel and AMD.

From the beginning of the year to now, NVIDIA has risen by 123%, AMD has risen by 87%, Intel has fallen by 24%, TSMC has risen by 64%, and the Nasdaq has risen by 33%.

It can be seen that both in chip stocks and technology stocks, NVIDIA has risen rapidly

Does NVIDIA have room for growth? This is the question that every investor thinks about every day

For NVIDIA, a high-tech company with high growth, high valuation, high risk, and high return, pure analysis of financial indicators is no longer valid.

If NVIDIA cannot continue to grow in the future, it cannot maintain its current high valuation.

As investors, we must capture the possible future opportunities and risks from the macro perspective of the entire chip industry ecosystem and technological development.

Today we will focus on the events and developments of the chip industry in the past six months, talk about the three opportunities for NVIDIA, and focus on two potential risks.

Nvidia stock target value

Let’s talk about the three major opportunities for NVIDIA’s future development.

Opportunity 1: The epidemic caused people to stay at home, and unexpectedly caused explosive growth in the game industry.

In 2020, the global video game market is expected to reach 159 billion U.S. dollars, which is about 4 times the movie box office revenue and 3 times the music industry revenue.

Games have very high requirements for computer graphics cards. The development of the game industry has stimulated a surge in graphics card sales. NVIDIA currently has 70% of the GPU market.

It is foreseeable that the improvement of the epidemic will not happen overnight. If the epidemic persists for a long time, the game industry will continue to benefit, and NVIDIA will also benefit in the long term.

Opportunity 2: With the explosion of artificial intelligence, NVIDIA with GPU technology has greatly benefited.

At present, the main application areas of artificial intelligence include fingerprint recognition, speech recognition, image recognition, video recognition, deep learning, intelligent robots, etc.

GPU is more suitable for artificial intelligence than traditional CPU because GPU is more suitable for matrix operation, the neural network is designed for a large number of matrix operations, so it is better to use GPU than CPU

Opportunity 3: GPU is promising in the future for autonomous driving technology.

Computing power is the key to autonomous driving, including the processing, fusion, and calculation of perceptual information.

At the same time, decision-making is deep learning. NVIDIA’s GPU is by nature the best choice for autonomous driving computing platforms.

In summary, games, artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving are all industries with great growth potential in the future, and NVIDIA's GPUs have incomparable technical advantages in these industries.

These are the driving forces that have driven NVIDIA to catch up with Intel in the past few years. I firmly believe that it will continue in the future.

Ordinary people always think that the risk NVIDIA faces is the competition between Intel and AMD. NVIDIA’s biggest risk does not peer competition, but the changes and adjustments of the entire chip industry ecosystem.

These are the most difficult risks for NVIDIA to resist.

The 2 risks faced by NVIDIA are:

Risk 1: Apple started to use self-developed laptop SOC (system chip), which may become a trend,

Apple’s just-released M1 chip is Apple’s first self-developed ARM architecture processor for Mac. The first devices using this processor include MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini.

Not only the CPU, but the GPU is also integrated,

Apple’s self-developed notebook computer chips are not only hitting Intel, but NVIDIA and AMD are also hit hard.

If Apple’s market share in notebook computers is greatly increased due to the success of self-developed chips, it will squeeze NVIDIA’s GPU market share in notebook computers.

Risk 2: In data centers, undeveloped chips will become more and more common.

Two years ago, Amazon has launched the first self-developed Arm architecture cloud server CPU-Graviton, and the first cloud AI inference chip AWS-Inferential, trying to take its path of cloud core integration

Huawei has also accelerated the pace of self-developed data center chips. Huawei’s TaiShan servers, including Kunpeng 920 and Shengteng 310, are bringing high-performance computing into every data center.

And Microsoft is trying to make FPGA and CPU work together to replace GPU,

Because FPGA has pipeline parallelism and data parallelism at the same time, while GPU has almost only data parallelism,

As early as 2016, at the Google I/O Developer Conference, Google officially released the first generation of TPU. Up to now, Google’s self-developed artificial intelligence chip TPU has been iterated to the third generation.

Since 2017, Alibaba has successively invested in Cambrian and acquired Zhongtianwei.

Nvidia stock price

Why will self-developed chips for data centers become a major trend?

Because of the great development of the public clouds, these public cloud operators have an increasing market share. They have their technical strength from researching their chips and developing their software, rather than relying on traditional chip manufacturers.

Therefore, the more cloud computing develops, the more obvious the trend of self-made chips in the data center in the future. This is not a good sign for traditional chip design companies such as Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA.

From a macro perspective, we analyzed 3 big opportunities and 2 potential risks for NVIDIA.

These three big opportunities have opened upmarket development space. NVIDIA, which has the absolute advantage of GPU technology, will still have a lot of room for growth in the next few years. It is believed that the stock price will also rise.

At the same time, these two risks must not be ignored. The chip industry is changing rapidly, especially when these two risks are driven by major companies such as Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Alibaba.

Some of them are large customers that NVIDIA depends on. They have the resources to create and change the landscape of an industry. Today I will not analyze the short-term trend of NVIDIA stock.

As investors, when conducting NVIDIA Stock Forecast and Analysis, we must pay attention to these major trends to make the right investment decisions for NVIDIA at the right time.

Shopify stock forecast 2025：Is it worth buying?

In the last year, the stocks rose relatively well. Another sector is e-commerce. Whether it is Amazon, Alibaba, JD.com, Pinduoduo, SEA or vertical e-commerce platforms Etsy and Chewy, all of them have experienced huge gains, while another category has benefited from the e-commerce sector. The company is a website building tool company such as Shopify BigCommerce Holdings. Today I will talk about shopify, the leader of website building tools. First, let's briefly talk about shopify's business model. To put it simply, shopify is a fool-like website building platform. In the past, when a company wanted to build a corporate website, it generally needed to find a dedicated person to design and maintain the website. If you want to add shopping functions to the website, the cost of building the website will also increase. This is true for many small businesses and individual businesses. A very difficult thing.

Why has international oil(USO) prices plummeted?

As OPEC and Russia failed in negotiations and could not reach an agreement to reduce production, Saudi Arabia issued a comprehensive production increase announcement. Russia followed Saudi Arabia to increase production. Due to the sharp increase in oil supply, international oil prices plummeted, and US stocks were affected by the spread of the epidemic, and international oil prices The plunge, the U.S. stock market plummeted, triggering multiple fuses. S&P500 Index Oil is a commodity whose price is affected by supply and demand. When oil production increases, supply increases, prices fall, and at the same time affected by the epidemic, demand decreases, and prices also fall. Oil supply increases and demand decreases, which is the main cause of the plunge in international oil prices.

The era of negative US interest rates coming?

Recently, the US Federal Reserve suddenly cut interest rates and US stocks fell sharply. Most investors believe that the ten-year bull market for US stocks has ended. In terms of the US dollar index, after a period of decline, the US dollar index rebounded sharply, indicating that risk aversion was high, and market funds were flowing to the US dollar to hedge. The Fed ’s interest rate cuts have not saved the US stock market. The Fed ’s interest rates are now very low. If the Fed continues to cut interest rates in the future, the United States will soon enter the era of negative interest rates. Take Europe and Japan as examples. Negative interest rates have not restored the country ’s economy. The future economic situation of the United States is not optimistic. The reason for the negative interest rate is that the investment must be profitable, otherwise, it will not be invested. If the profit is low or loss, the investor will directly deposit the profit to the bank. When socia...

PLTR stock forecast 2025： Long-term holding growth stocks Palantir

Today we are talking about Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR) the long-term growth stocks. I have been paying attention to Palantir for a long time before the listing, but after the direct listing, the stock price fluctuated greatly, and the market's valuation faced great divergence. In addition, Palantir chose 80% of the shares to lift the ban three trading days after the financial report. Therefore, I am also prepared to look at the market's reaction after the ban is lifted. However, the stock price did not fall sharply due to the large-scale lifting of the ban. In this round of growth stock valuations, the decline of Palantir is not too large, at about 20%, but the valuation is more attractive than before. From a perspective, I think Palantir is a company worth holding for a long time. Palantir was founded in 2003 as a big data company with founders Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Joe Lonsdale, Stephen Cohen, and Nathan Gettings. Among them, the third and fo...

The five stages of company growth!

company Many people who study stocks will analyze the fundamentals of the stock, such as viewing its performance report, PE, PB, PEG, debt ratio, dividend ratio, cash flow, ROE, EPS growth, etc. I don't know if you tried it. After performing many basic analyses, you will feel that the prospects for a particular stock are very good. You have even read the analysis reports of many large banks, or listened to the analysis of many market participants and obtained a consistent high evaluation. Then, you will think that this stock will grow in the future, so you buy it and think that you can use this stock to create a better future from now on, and the final development of the story is the opposite of the fact that the development direction will eventually Put you in trouble or lose money.

The relationship between Dow theory and the stock market!

Many technical analyses, such as morphological analysis and wave theory, use the Dow theory as the basis for the evolution of original technical analysis. Let's talk about the relationship between the Dow theory and today's stock market. Starting from the three most widely known theorems, theorems, market behavior is inclusive and digestive, market behavior follows the trend, and history will repeat itself. Among these three theorems, there are many Charles investment ideas, which can also be said to be the backbone of technical analysis. Charles' first theorem hoped that the market was originally a gathering place for hundreds of news. For example, Jun A believes that a country's civil war and unstable economy caused it to sell the shares of local companies; Jun B learned that the local companies will still have considerable profitability next year, so he bought the shares of local companies; Jun received a third different message and made an investment decision and...
