BlockBeats news, on August 27, Mizuho analyst Vijay Rakesh said that NVIDIA's (NVDA.O) second-quarter earnings beat expectations is now consensus; the market's true focus is on AI spending outlook. Rakesh stated, "The emphasis is on guidance regarding next year's AI capital expenditures and revenue performance."
Analysts expect NVIDIA's adjusted earnings per share to be $2.08 and revenue to reach $92 billion. Rakesh expects the actual figures to significantly exceed these estimates and maintains an "Outperform" rating with a $300 price target.
Rakesh believes Wall Street’s expectation of $550 billion in AI revenue next year is overly conservative, noting that NVIDIA’s recent financing agreement with Wall Street consortia, combined with SpaceX’s plan to build a gigawatt-scale solar facility in Austin, “could alone generate an additional $400–500 billion in AI revenue.” (Jinshi)
