According to Constellation Research, Nvidia stock is expected to reach $200 per share next year, and the rise could last up to two years.
Ray Wang, founder of Constellation, points to several important factors that contribute to Nvidia’s market strength.
First, Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, is a visionary leader who is driving the company’s vertical integration from silicon to software through strategic partnerships and direct-to-market avenues.
This leadership is essential to maintaining Nvidia’s competitive advantage.
High barriers to entry in the chip market further solidify Nvidia’s position. Developing a competitive chip takes significant time and resources, making competition with new entrants difficult.
In addition, the significant cost of moving to CUDA software (computing platform and application programming interface) and Nvidia’s ecosystem attracts customers over the long term, providing a stable revenue base.
Nvidia also enjoys a dominant market share in the GPU industry, having established itself well ahead of its competitors, who lag by about 24 months.
The company’s product roadmap is robust, with only a fraction of its innovations currently visible, promising significant future growth. The GPU has become the standard for artificial intelligence applications, making Nvidia’s products integral to advances in this area.
Financially, Nvidia is performing exceptionally well, with a gross margin of 78% and a year-over-year growth rate of 262%. These impressive numbers are in line with investor expectations and support the stock’s upward trajectory.
Despite the recent 14% decline due to macroeconomic concerns and profit taking, Wang views this decline as a buying opportunity for investors.
