Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) inventory is effectively off its highs for the time being. Presently, it may be snapped up for $118, about 23% beneath its all-time excessive of $153. Is there a serious alternative to contemplate right here? One main Wall Road analyst appears to assume so.
A ‘generational’ alternative
The analyst I’m referring to is Dan Ives from Wedbush Securities. An everyday CNBC contributor (recognized for his vibrant apparel), Ives is among the best-known tech analysts on Wall Road.
Final week, he advised CNBC that he believes Nvidia is at the moment providing a ‘generational opportunity’ for traders. He believes a whopping $2trn will probably be spent on the unreal intelligence (AI) buildout within the subsequent three years. And he sees Nvidia – which designs AI chips – as the first beneficiary. “We’re going to be talking about Nvidia at $4trn, $5trn over the coming years,” he stated. For context, the corporate has a market cap of $2.9trn at this time.
In 25 years doing this, I can depend the occasions which were virtually generational alternatives relative to what the inventory’s doing. That’s the place I believe Nvidia is right here.

My view
Do I agree with Ives? I’m unsure, to be trustworthy.
On one hand, I stay very bullish on the AI theme. I believe this know-how is right here to remain and I count on Nvidia to profit from the expansion of the business within the years forward.
In the meantime, I believe Nvidia inventory trades at a lovely valuation at this time. Presently, the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio right here is barely 26. This isn’t excessive on condition that the corporate’s earnings are forecast to leap 53% this 12 months. The worth-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is simply 0.5.
Alternatively, I do assume there’s a risk that near-term AI spending might be decrease than anticipated (which might end in lower-than-expected revenues for Nvidia). Because the arrival of low-cost AI mannequin Deepseek just a few months in the past, I’ve been rather less bullish on the AI buildout theme than I used to be beforehand.
I additionally assume there’s an opportunity that Nvidia’s share value might go decrease earlier than it goes greater. I wouldn’t be stunned to see the inventory hit $100 once more given all of the chaos available in the market proper now (as a consequence of tariffs) and the adverse sentiment in the direction of tech shares.
How I’m taking part in Nvidia
As for the way I’m taking part in Nvidia myself, I’m invested within the firm. Presently, it’s certainly one of my largest holdings.
Nevertheless, I lately bought just a few shares close to the $140 mark. This was primarily to cut back danger in my portfolio.
I’m not in a rush to purchase the shares again at $118 given the dimensions of my holding. But when the inventory was to fall to $100 or beneath, I might be tempted to start out including to my place once more.
That’s the place I’d be trying to purchase. And that’s the place I believe traders ought to be contemplating the inventory in the event that they don’t but personal it.
