NVIDIA, as the core driver of the AI boom, has seen its stock surge over 600% since 2022, with revenues soaring to $253.5 billion in the last 12 months. However, beneath this impressive growth lies a ... Read original →

NVIDIA’s sky-high valuation hinges on hyperscalers’ uninterrupted AI infrastructure spending—a premise now facing structural cracks. Technically, delays in 3nm ramp and EUV tool availability are flattening GPU performance-per-watt curves, while Capex pullbacks from Meta or Microsoft would immediately dent TSMC’s (Taiwan, China) CoWoS packaging utilization, triggering upstream material and equipment order cancellations. Regulatory headwinds compound this: tightening U.S. AI chip export controls and the EU AI Act force cloud providers to recalibrate global data center rollouts, inflating compliance overhead. Competitors are exploiting the opening—AMD with MI300X in non-U.S. markets, Oracle via custom Arm-based accelerators reducing GPU dependency. Over the next 12–24 months, even without absolute revenue decline, NVIDIA will face a valuation reset as investor expectations shift from growth-at-all-costs to capital efficiency. The era of insatiable AI chip demand is giving way to precision-scaled deployment.
