Nvidia On The Offensive
Summary Nvidia Corporation stands out as the premier AI beneficiary, uniquely positioned to receive capex flows from the rest of the Magnificent 7. NVDA's financials are exceptional: sales grew 126%, 114%, and 65% over the last three fiscal years; EPS surged 288%, 131%, and 60%. My five-year target price for NVDA stock is $444.71, implying 75-80%+ upside from the recent close of $218.36.

NVDA | Nvidia Corporation: What They Said vs. What They Did
TheGapReport: NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) Q2 2027 (may 20 - aug 26) NVIDIA's Q2 fiscal 2027 results, arrived with a structural admission that management had not offered 90 days earlier: supply is now the binding constraint on the company's growth, not demand, not product readiness, not market development. The $96 billion quarter — record revenue, fourth consecutive year-over-year acceleration — lands differently when the accompanying FY2028 guide of approximately 70% growth is immediately qualified as supply-constrained, with unconstrained demand running "a lot higher." ✅ Delivered Vera Rubin Launch — Production and Ramp In May, Colette Kress said Vera Rubin production shipments would commence in the second half of fiscal 2027, starting in Q3.
