Nvidia Gets Bullish Signal From Key Supplier’s Strong Sales
📈 Hon Hai (Foxconn), a key supplier for Nvidia's AI servers and Apple's iPhones, reported its fastest Q1 sales growth since 2022, driven by resilient data center demand.
💡 This strong performance from a major supplier serves as a very positive signal for Nvidia and the broader AI sector, indicating continued heavy investment despite market fears.
💰 Demand for AI computing power from major tech companies like Alphabet and Amazon remains robust, underpinning the growth trajectory for companies like Nvidia involved in AI infrastructure.
Nvidia Valuation Improving, But Is It Cheap Enough Yet?
📊 Nvidia's valuation, specifically its P/E ratio, has improved, dropping significantly from highs around 100 to approximately 32.
📈 Despite the lower P/E, the company maintains very high return on equity (ROE) and earnings potential, indicating strong underlying performance.
⏳ However, the current valuation might still be considered high given the challenging economic circumstances. It's suggested to wait for potentially lower levels, perhaps a P/E around 15, before considering an investment.
Nvidia Sell-Off Warning: Could It Crash 80%?
⚠️ Analysis suggests Nvidia is currently undergoing a distribution phase, meaning large holders might be selling off shares.
📉 The stock's recent price action is viewed as unsustainable, drawing parallels to previous market leaders like Tesla and Apple whose dominance faded.
💥 In a severe market downturn scenario, it's suggested that Nvidia could potentially decline by 50% to 80% from its peak.
Nvidia’s Growth Story Under Scrutiny: Time to Hold?

Nvidia’s Tariff Exemption: Not Immune to Market Fears?
🛡️ While Nvidia's essential microchips for AI are expected to be exempt from tariffs, insulating it directly from import duties, the stock has still declined significantly.
📉 The decline is attributed partly to profit-taking after a strong run and broader market panic, but also reflects concerns about the sustainability of massive AI investments by its clients.
❓ A potential recession triggered or exacerbated by tariffs could lead companies to cut back on AI spending, impacting Nvidia's future growth prospects despite its current valuation appearing reasonable (around 20x earnings).
Nvidia’s AI Hype Cools Off: Time to Accumulate or Wait?
📉 Nvidia, despite its AI leadership, is seeing selling pressure as investors take profits from previously high valuations.
🤔 While the stock might become an accumulation opportunity, current market conditions and lack of clear support signals suggest caution is needed.
📊 Valuation metrics like Price-to-Earnings (around 32) are lower than peaks (around 100), but strong ROE and EPS indicate underlying strength, presenting a mixed picture.
