Nvidia's Projected Revenue Surge and Market Cap Growth

Nvidia, the pioneering company in graphics processing units (GPUs) for AI training and inference, is on an impressive growth trajectory. The company recently announced a guidance for quarterly revenue of $54 billion, which is double its total revenue for all of fiscal 2023. This forecast, if realised, would put Nvidia on course to generate revenue of roughly $206 billion in fiscal 2026, resulting in a forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 21.

The rapid evolution of the AI landscape presents both opportunities and challenges for Nvidia investors. Ben Reitzes, managing director and head of tech at Melius Research, believes Nvidia's growth will be fueled by opportunities with emerging AI companies, data centers (beyond current hyperscale customers), and sovereign AI. Reitzes predicts that Nvidia can generate revenue of $600 billion annually by the end of the decade.

Nvidia's financial results for the recent quarter showed a 56% year-over-year increase in revenue, reaching $46.7 billion. The growth in revenue was primarily driven by the data center segment, which includes processors used for AI, data centers, and cloud computing. The data center segment's revenue jumped 56% to $41.1 billion, mostly due to demand for AI.

Nvidia's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) also increased by 54%, reaching $1.05. The company's stock is currently selling for roughly 30 times next year's earnings. Wall Street forecasts annual revenue growth of 23.6% for Nvidia over the coming five years.

However, Nvidia's demand for AI-centric chips remains strong but the relative growth rate has slowed. Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, predicted the development of a market worth 3 to 4 trillion US dollars for artificial intelligence infrastructure by the end of the decade himself, as reported by IT Boltwise. Currently, Nvidia's market cap is approximately $4.4 trillion.

To reach a $10 trillion market cap, Nvidia needs stock price gains of 127%. If Nvidia achieves this growth rate, it could reach a $10 trillion market cap as early as 2030. For a $10 trillion market cap, Nvidia would need to grow its revenue to roughly $466 billion annually.

The success of Nvidia in the AI market is undeniable, but investors should consider the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this rapidly evolving landscape. As Nvidia continues to innovate and expand, it will be interesting to see how the company's growth unfolds in the coming years.
