Everyone's Wrong About Nvidia

I’ve been watching Nvidia’s recent earnings report and management commentary, and frankly, I’m stunned by how misguided most analyses are. The market’s reaction seems disconnected from reality.

Looking at their latest numbers, I’m seeing patterns that few others seem willing to acknowledge. Management keeps spinning the same AI dominance narrative, but reading between the lines reveals potential vulnerability they’re desperately trying to hide.

While everyone’s celebrating their astronomical growth, I can’t help but question the sustainability of their current trajectory. The margins they’re commanding now won’t last forever - competitors are already positioning themselves to take a bite out of Nvidia’s AI chip monopoly.

The stock price movement after earnings tells its own story. Market expectations have reached such absurd levels that even beating estimates isn’t enough anymore. I’ve watched this cycle before with tech darlings - the higher they climb, the harder they eventually fall.

What particularly bothers me is how investment advisors keep pushing Nvidia as a “can’t miss” opportunity while glossing over the very real risks. Sure, if you invested $1,000 back in 2005, you’d have over a million dollars now - but that’s hindsight investing at its worst. The question is what happens next, not what happened two decades ago.

I’ve seen enough market cycles to know that when everyone agrees something can only go up, that’s precisely when you should question the consensus. The semiconductor industry is notoriously cyclical, and AI chip demand, despite all the hype, will eventually normalize.

Don’t misunderstand me - Nvidia’s technology leadership is impressive. But at these valuations, the market is pricing in absolute perfection while ignoring potential headwinds like increased competition, regulatory scrutiny, and the inevitable commoditization of AI chips.

Perhaps I’m wrong, but I’ve rarely seen a situation where universal bullishness proved correct in the long run.
