NVIDIA News Roundup

Here are the key news stories impacting NVIDIA this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Massive beat and aggressive guidance: NVDA posted record Q4 revenue (~$68.1B), strong data‑center growth and guided to roughly $78B for Q1 — evidence demand for AI compute remains very strong. Company press release
• Positive Sentiment: Wall Street stays supportive: multiple firms quickly raised price targets and reiterated buy/outperform calls after the print — a tailwind for medium/longer‑term upside. Analyst target updates
• Neutral Sentiment: CEO commentary and product roadmap: Jensen Huang doubled down on agentic AI, Vera Rubin and Blackwell product roadmaps that underpin future revenue — positive for long‑term positioning but not an immediate sentiment cure. CNBC: CEO comments
• Neutral Sentiment: China exposure remains uncertain: NVDA disclosed limited revenue from China despite securing a small license to ship select H200 chips — this keeps upside conditional on geopolitical approvals. Reuters: China / supply notes
• Negative Sentiment: Muted market reaction / profit‑taking: despite the beat, investors sold into strength — many say the quarter was already largely priced in, so upside requires sustained execution vs sky‑high expectations. Reuters: muted reaction
• Negative Sentiment: Valuation and concentration risk: NVDA trades at a premium; investors worry about a stretched multiple, and a few bearish/neutral views highlight downside if AI capex slows. WSJ: valuation/sentiment
• Negative Sentiment: Competition & ecosystem risks: AMD, Broadcom and others are accelerating AI offerings; investors flagged rising competitive pressure and customer diversification (e.g., Meta/AMD deals) as a risk to NVDA’s long‑term pricing power. Benzinga: competitive risk
