Yahoo Finance ETFs to Buy on Nvidia's Brief Spurt to $1T: More Rally Likely
On May 30, Nvidia NVDA surged about 3% to join the elite club of Wall Street — the one trillion market cap holders — for a brief period on AI euphoria. At close, the chip giant’s market cap was $991.997 billion. Notably, Nvidia’s shares jumped about 30% in the past four days following its earnings release.
Nvidia shares are firing on all cylinders this year and the stock is up 174.5%. Last week, it stunned investors with its solid first-quarter fiscal 2024 results, wherein it topped both earnings and revenue estimates buoyed by the strength of its data center business. The company also offered a bullish revenue outlook for the current quarter on booming artificial intelligence (AI) demand for its high-powered chips.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the graphics chipmaker expects revenues of around $11 billion, plus or minus 2% on increased demand for its data-center family of products. Nvidia’s graphics processing units, or GPUs, are key to generative AI platforms like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard (read: ETFs to Buy on Nvidia's Blowout Q1 Earnings).
It is now time to determine if the super-rally will persist or if the bubble is set to burst. After all, “we learned from 2000-2003, companies that are going to change the world still have valuation limits," said Miller Tabak’s Maley, as quoted on Bloomberg.
How Long Will the Rally Continue?
Wall Street is super-bullish on the chipmaker. Out of 34 analysts covering the stock, 79.41% offer a Strong Buy rating, while 11.76% attach a Buy rating. Only three analysts prefer to “Hold” this stock, while none opt for a “Sell.”
What Does the Current Valuation Say?
Nvidia is overvalued in every respect. Going by valuation metrics, the forward P/E ratio of NVDA is 81.64X versus the industry average of 19.73X. The price-to-book ratio of NVDA is 39.28X versus 1.77X. The price/sales ratio of NVDA is 37.22X versus the industry score of 1.89X. NVDA shares have reached their all-time peak P/E ratio. Before this, NVDA recorded its peak of 68 times expected earnings in 2021, according to Refinitiv data, as quoted on Reuters.
At Least 7% Further Rally Likely, 50% Upside in Bull Case
The mean short-term price target on the stock offered by Wall Street analysts is $429.69, up 7% from the current level, while the bullish case scenario offers a price target of $600, up 49.6% from the current close. It is a momentum stock. The stock has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
