Nvidia will hit $400b annual revenue in 5 years time. ~90% of revenue will come from data centre customers.

Positives 1. Market Leadership in GPUs and AI Acceleration: NVIDIA dominates the discrete GPU market, particularly for high-performance gaming and data center AI workloads.

Update 27th Jan 2025 My original narrative was primarily based on Aswath Damodaran's Nvidia narrative and valuation. The recent news from DeepSeek further supports this narrative.

Key Takeaways NVIDIA facing challenges, 30% data center market share at risk from chiplets AMD, Samsung, Intel entering GPU manufacturing race at cheaper price points Largest customers producing own chips, limits market for NVIDIA Generative AI cloud solutions introduces revenue cannibalization risk Gaming market revenue share at risk of stagnating Catalysts Company Catalysts Accelerating GPU Performance Will Reduce Profitability There is an argument to be made that the rapidly accelerating performance of GPUs will unlock markets in the next 3 to 5 years, but the same technology can lead to oversupply of compute power in the long term. As recently as 2021, there was a shortage of compute power for use cases like cryptocurrency mining, which was promoted as a key growth avenue.

Key Takeaways Nvidia is poised to capture a larger share of the growing Data Centre market thanks to class leading hardware supporting the most demanding applications Nvidia's hardware is the best on market for AI applications and greater AI implementation will mean greater the demand for Nvidia hardware. Nvidia's DRIVE autonomous vehicle platform opens the door for Nvidia to flourish in a $300 Billion market.

Key Takeaways Blackwell architecture and AI model scaling focus position NVIDIA for growth in data center and AI workloads, enhancing revenue and margin potential. Expansion into autonomous vehicles and new GPU products indicates future revenue streams and market share growth across gaming and automotive sectors.
