Industry Analysis
NVIDIA’s full-stack dominance is triggering a cascade across the tech stack: its GPU-CUDA moat not only secures AI training but, with 74% inference share, forces cloud providers to redesign data centers—boosting demand for EUV lithography, advanced packaging, and optical interconnects. Geopolitical compliance risks are crystallizing: U.S. export controls have already compelled TSMC (Taiwan, China) to reallocate CoWoS capacity, raising NVIDIA’s supply-chain costs; potential EU mandates for CUDA interoperability could erode its software advantage. In response, Google is fast-tracking TPU v6 and partnering with AMD on ROCm, while Intel bets on Gaudi 4 and oneAPI. Over the next 18 months, ‘compute inflation’ will intensify—soaring capex with diminishing per-watt returns—favoring only firms with true hardware-software co-optimization. The current 32x P/E reflects a discount on structural growth, not speculation.
