In the history of technology, few companies have created such an astonishing myth: in the past four quarters, Nvidia's revenue increased by $73 billion, a growth that even surpassed the annual revenue of Wall Street banking giant Morgan Stanley. For a tech giant with an annual revenue close to $200 billion, maintaining a growth rate of over 60% is simply breaking the iron law of corporate development.
However, standing at the peak moment, Nvidia faces unprecedented challenges. Once a graphics card manufacturer, it has now risen to become the chip ruler of the artificial intelligence era. Currently, Nvidia is producing every chip at full speed, yet orders still exceed supply. Its founder Jensen Huang once predicted that sales of new series chips from 2025 to 2026 would reach $500 billion, and the company’s CFO now believes that this target will be surpassed.
展开剩余73%This crazy growth reflects the enormous opportunities brought about by the AI revolution. From ChatGPT to the explosion of various AI applications, there has been a huge demand for high-performance computing chips. Nvidia has successfully entered the AI chip market, leveraging its technological advantages accumulated in the graphics processor field, thereby establishing an unshakeable industry position.
However, behind this seemingly perfect growth story lie multiple risks. First, Nvidia relies heavily on the AI market; if the AI craze cools down or market demand changes, the company's performance will face huge fluctuations. Second, the current sky-high market value puts enormous pressure on the company; any small mistake could lead to severe stock price volatility.
Even more alarming is that Nvidia's success has attracted numerous envious competitors. Traditional chip giant Intel is accelerating its pursuit, and AMD is also actively laying out the AI chip market. Meanwhile, major tech companies are developing their own AI chips in an attempt to break free from dependence on Nvidia. Google's TPU and Microsoft's cooperation with AMD all indicate that the competitive landscape may change.
In the face of these challenges, Nvidia is not without countermeasures. The company is actively expanding new growth points, including strengthening its presence in automotive chips, the metaverse, and other fields. At the same time, Nvidia continues to invest in R&D, attempting to establish higher technical barriers in the AI chip field.
However, investors must remain clear-headed: the myth will one day lead to the ordinary. The current valuation has shackled Nvidia with the 'eternal high growth' expectation, which inherently contains huge risks. In the field of artificial intelligence, the speed of technological iteration far exceeds imagination; today's king may fall from grace tomorrow.
For this chip king, the greatest challenge does not come from external competition, but rather from balancing short-term performance with long-term development, and how to maintain a leading advantage while avoiding being trapped by its own success. This may be the ultimate test that lies ahead for Nvidia.
