What Happened?
NVIDIA (NVDA) stock rose slightly this week as the broader chip sector rallied on renewed AI optimism. Reuters reported that U.S. chip stocks hit record highs after Intel issued a stronger-than-expected forecast, which investors read as another sign that AI infrastructure demand remains strong. That helped Nvidia even though shares slipped 0.4% on April 24.
The week’s move was also shaped by China-related headlines. Reuters reported that DeepSeek unveiled a new AI model tailored for Huawei chips, reinforcing China’s push to reduce reliance on Nvidia hardware. That is a real risk because U.S. export controls have already limited Nvidia’s ability to sell advanced AI chips into China.
Still, investors appear to be weighing that risk against Nvidia’s current growth engine. In Q4 FY26, Nvidia reported record revenue of $68.1 billion, up 73% year over year, and Data Center revenue of $62.3 billion, up 75%. That shows the stock is still being priced mainly around global AI data center demand.

Is NVIDIA Stock Undervalued?
Under valuation model assumptions realized through 12/31/28, the stock is modeled using:
- Revenue growth (CAGR): 38.5%
- Operating Margins: 63.6%
- Exit P/E Multiple: 25x
Based on these inputs, the model estimates a target price of $456, implying 119.7% total upside from the current share price of $208 and an annualized return of 32.8% over the next 2.8 years.
That upside depends on Nvidia continuing to grow into its AI infrastructure opportunity. The 38.5% revenue growth assumption is high, but it is below Nvidia’s most recent full-year growth rate of 65%. The model is effectively assuming growth slows, but remains far above most large-cap semiconductor peers.
The 63.6% operating margin assumption reflects Nvidia’s unusually profitable AI chip business. In Q4 FY26, gross margin was 75.0%, showing that demand for data center GPUs and networking systems remains strong enough to support premium pricing. If margins stay near current levels, earnings can compound faster than revenue.
The 25.0x exit P/E is lower than Nvidia’s 5-year and 10-year historical multiples shown in the model. That matters because the valuation does not require the stock to keep its historical premium forever.
The main requirement is that AI spending stays strong enough to offset China’s restrictions, competition, and rising infrastructure costs.
What’s Driving NVIDIA Stock Going Forward?
The next major catalyst is Nvidia’s Q1 FY27 earnings on May 20. Investors will compare results against management’s Q1 revenue outlook of $78.0 billion, plus or minus 2%. That number matters because it will show whether hyperscaler AI spending is still accelerating after a record Q4.
Big Tech earnings over the next few weeks will also matter. Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet are among the largest buyers of AI compute infrastructure. If they raise or defend AI capital spending plans, it would support the demand case for Nvidia’s GPUs, CPUs, networking, and systems.
China remains the key downside catalyst. DeepSeek’s Huawei-focused model and NIO’s in-house chip push show that Chinese companies are trying to reduce Nvidia dependence. If U.S. restrictions tighten further, investors may lower expectations for China revenue even if global AI demand remains strong.
