NVIDIA (NVDA) Stock Analysis & Forecast

Oct 12 close

$226.32−2.96 (−1.3%)

Gekko Brief

AI summaryOct 12 close

NVIDIA shares slipped this week amid broader AI-sector softness, with new hardware and software announcements for future AI data centers failing to re-energize investors, according to one report. Coverage also weighed comparisons with Broadcom and AMD, questions about Microsoft's Maia 300 chip reducing reliance on Nvidia, and Michael Burry's expanded bearish options bets against the Nvidia-heavy VanEck Semiconductor ETF and the Nasdaq-100. Separately, Navitas announced a collaboration with NVIDIA on an 800 V-to-12 V power delivery board for next-generation AI infrastructure.

The stock closed at $226.32, down 1.3% on the day, trading above both its 50-day average of $222.59 and its 200-day average of $202.34, with the 50-day above the 200-day. The GekkoIndex reads 59.2, placing the stock in the Neutral zone. Price sits 14.8% below Gekko Fair Value of $265.59. One-month return stands at 3.7%, three-month at 6.9%, and six-month at 19.5%, against a 52-week range of $164.27 to $243.37.

Looking ahead, the next earnings report is scheduled for 18 November 2026, after the close, 36 days out and beyond a typical 20-trading-day hold. Over the last 90 days, Congress recorded 4 buys and 0 sells, and the last 30 days show 5 unusual options signals, with call premium of $271.6 million against put premium of $44.8 million. Seasonality from this point in the calendar has averaged a 16.8% move over the next 20 trading days across 5 years, rising in 5 of them. Analyst consensus from 33 firms holds a $328.72 target.

Last earnings call, Aug 26, 2026 AI summary

What they said
NVIDIA reported record Q2 FY2027 revenue of $96 billion, more than doubling year-over-year for the fourth consecutive quarter of accelerating growth. Data center revenue reached $89 billion, up 18% sequentially, with hyperscale at $49 billion and ACIE at $40 billion. AWS partnership expansion includes 2 million additional GPU deployments. Top 5 hyperscaler CapEx expected to reach $800 billion in 2026 and $1.3 trillion in 2027.
Guidance
NVIDIA expects approximately 70% revenue growth in fiscal 2028, described as supply-constrained. Customer forecasts suggest demand could support doubling of growth, but supply limitations cap the outlook. NeoCloud partners expected to reach 8 gigawatts installed capacity by year-end.
