bullish · high conviction $177.82 -4.1% (20d)Nvidia posts 73% growth, guides higher; stock falls on capex fears
Nvidia crushed Q4 with $68.1B revenue (73% YoY, beating $66.2B consensus) and guided Q1 FY2027 to $78B (vs. $72B Street forecast). Sovereign AI, a new segment, exploded 300%+ YoY to ~$30B annual run rate. Data center revenue hit 90% of sales at $193.7B annually. But the stock dropped 3% on March 6 amid semiconductor sector pressure—a classic beat-and-miss-on-capex unwind. The market's concern: hyperscalers are now disciplining data center orders rather than deploying unlimited capital. Carrier reported North American data center orders surged 400% in Q4 2025, suggesting infrastructure buildout momentum continues, but NVIDIA's own guide and post-earnings weakness signal confidence is fragile on sustainability.
Nvidia's 40%+ earnings growth assumption—baked into 18x forward multiples—now hinges entirely on hyperscaler capex remaining above $115B. Any Q2 or Q3 capex guidance cut below that threshold will reset the multiple down 30-40% and erase $500B+ in market value. The sovereign AI ramp is real (NATO defense spending, national AI buildout) but still only 14% of revenue; it's not yet a multiple expander on its own. Stock trading on hope, not proof.
Watch: Nvidia GTC (March 16-19) for customer capex outlook and Vera Rubin ramp details. Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI capex guidance (April-May) will either validate or crater the bull thesis.
