$NVDA$'s current NTM P/E trades at roughly a 10x discount to its 3-year median of 32x. Its premium vs. peers like $AVGO$, $AMD$, $MRVL$ is near historical lows. Goldman's take: the market is still valuing NVIDIA as a semiconductor cyclical, not as an AI infrastructure platform. The multiple hasn't caught up to the story.
