$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ š¤šØš„ Nvidiaās AI Odyssey: A Stock at the Crossroads š„šØš¤
As of 6Apr25, Nvidia teeters on the edge of brilliance or breakdown. Fridayās close hit $94.31 (post-market $92.60), slammed by a 14% weekly plunge, the worst since Januaryās DeepSeek scare rattled investors over AI spending sustainability. My breakdown of Nvidiaās investment potential fuses razor-sharp fundamental and technical analysis, framed by the semiconductor cycleās pulse and Trumpās tariff bombshell. Whether youāre a long-term visionary or a short-term tactician, this delivers actionable intel to dominate the game!
Unpacking Nvidiaās Financial Firepower and Strategic Mastery
Nvidiaās numbers scream dominance. Q4 fiscal 2025 (ended 26Jan25) raked in $39.3 billion in revenue, up 12% from Q3, 78% year over year, and crushing the $37.5 billion outlook. Full-year revenue soared to $130.5 billion, a 114% explosion from 2024. Data Centre revenue hit $115.2 billion for the year, more than doubling prior figures, with Q4 alone at $35.6 billion, up 16% sequentially, 93% YoY. Earnings per diluted share? Q4 at $0.89, fiscal 2025 GAAP EPS at $2.94, up 147%. The Blackwell architecture, a $11 billion Q4 juggernaut, marks Nvidiaās fastest product ramp ever, driven by AIās leap into reasoning.
Valuation? Trailing P/E is 32.08 ($94.31 Ć· $2.94), but forward P/E, based on $4.52 EPS estimates for 2026, drops to 20.86, a neon undervaluation signal. Q1 2026 revenue is pegged at $43 billion (Ā±2%), with margins slipping to 70.6% from 76% due to Blackwell costs. Strategically, Nvidiaās AI GPU edge shines, backed by Verizon (edge AI) and Toyota (automotive) tie-ups, but tariff fears and rivals like Huawei loom large.
Decoding Nvidiaās Price Pulse: Signals Amid the Storm
Nvidiaās stock is bleeding, down 35.9% from its early Jan25 peak of $153.13. This weekās 14% drop, sparked by Trumpās sweeping tariffs announced Wednesday, fuelled a tech rout, with the Magnificent Seven shedding $1.03 trillion in market cap Thursday, the groupās worst single-day wipeout ever. Analysts rate it āStrong Sellā daily, āSellā weekly, āNeutralā monthly. Volatilityās at 10.52%, beta at 2.40, double the marketās chaos. The 52-week low ($75.61) hints at $90 support, but a ādeath crossā (200-day moving average overtaking the 50-day) and a falling relative strength line versus the S&P 500 scream weakness. Still, RSI and moving averages could signal a bounce if $90 holds.
Nvidia in the Semiconductor Surge: King or Pawn?
The semiconductor cycle, bottomed in Q1 2023, now roars with AI and data centre demand. Nvidia leads, outpacing AMD ($85.76, down 8.57% in 24 hours) and Intel ($19.85, down 11.50%). Broadcomās AI revenue jumped 77% to $4.1 billion last quarter, eyeing $4.4 billion next, while Oracleās $130 billion backlog signals āenormousā demand. But Trumpās tariff threats and China chip curbs (e.g. H20 exports) risk handing rivals like Huawei the AI market, a move Bernsteinās Stacey Rasgon calls āzero sense.ā
Envisioning Nvidiaās Fate: Glory or Gutter?
Two paths loom:
š¢ Bullish Case (60% shot): AI demand explodes, Amazonās $105 billion and Alphabetās $75 billion AI bets lean on Nvidiaās chips, pushing 2026 revenue to $146.87 billion. Blackwell steadies margins, and Mizuhoās $175 price target (44% of a $350 billion AI chip market by 2027) holds.
š“ Bearish Case (40% risk): Tariffs and DeepSeekās $5.6 million AI models (vs. $100Mā$1B for US rivals) erode margins, AMD and Huawei strike, and a global slowdown drags Nvidia below $90.
Earnings, AI adoption, and export curbs are triggers. Tariffs, chip bans, and geopolitical heat are landmines.
A Contrarian Edge: Beyond the Noise
Despite 2025ās relentless pounding, shares sank 8% post-Q4 beat on 26Feb, Nvidiaās AI throne makes $90 dips golden. The cycle hasnāt peaked, and 223 hedge funds (40% of shares) still back it. Analysts see 55.93% upside, with Morgan Stanley naming it a 2025 top pick.
Fortifying Against the Storm: Nvidiaās Playbook
Risks? Tariffs, DeepSeekās cost edge, and China curbs (50,000-chip limits, 1,700-unit licences). Nvidiaās counter: diversified products (GeForce, A100), CUDA software, and R&D heft, plus lobbying to soften export blows.
Actionable Moves: Your Winning Edge
Your playbook:
ā¢ Long-term Players: Hold or buy at $90, stop-loss below $85. Mizuho says wait for Mayās server ramp.
ā¢ Traders: Watch $90 reversals, earnings (28May25) is your pivot.
What to Track: Your Crystal Ball
Lock on:
ā¢ Earnings and margins (71% Q1 guidance).
ā¢ AI spending (Amazon, Alphabet) and DeepSeekās moves.
ā¢ Trumpās tariff fallout and China bans.
The Verdict: Seize the Moment
Nvidiaās fundamentals are ironclad, $130.5 billion in 2025 revenue, Blackwellās $11 billion sprint. At $90, itās a steal despite techās tariff-induced carnage. The cycleās growth wave and AIās āiPhone momentā back this bet, strike now, not next turn. Stay sharp, margins, curbs, and macro shifts could flip it.
ā³Deferring investment until the next semiconductor cycle, potentially in 2027, hazards forgoing the zenith of AI-driven growth, as Nvidia capitalizes on its $130.5 billion 2025 revenue and Blackwellās accelerating trajectory. Strategic action now outweighs the case for delay.

there's potential in NVIDIA... 90 looks like a good support.
agree with the stop loss at 85 š
