Nvidia’s shares dip despite unveiling new AI chips as stock market conditions fluctuate.
Nvidia experienced a sharp 6.2% drop in its stock value on Tuesday, following a record high achieved the previous day after launching new AI chips. The drop comes amidst a broader tech stock selloff, primarily fueled by the rise in U.S. government bond yields. Despite the downturn, Nvidia’s growth remains impressive, with a 185% year-over-year increase in stock value. It continues to lead in AI-driven growth, with its Data Centre sales contributing almost 90% of its revenue, repeatedly setting records over the past eight quarters.
AI Chips and Next-Gen Graphics: Nvidia’s Strategic Growth Focus
Nvidia’s next-generation GeForce RTX 50 series and Project Digits signal further growth and market expansion.
Nvidia’s unveiling of the GeForce RTX 50 series at CES 2025, powered by its new Blackwell architecture, represents the company’s latest push to dominate the gaming and AI sectors. These chips are designed to enhance gaming performance with improved frame rates and are expected to be preinstalled in computers priced from $550 to $2,000. Despite the strong reception, gaming’s contribution to Nvidia’s overall revenue is now just 9%, a significant decrease from previous years when it was the primary revenue driver.
In addition to gaming, Nvidia is targeting the AI sector with Project Digits, a personal AI supercomputer designed to give AI researchers and developers access to high-performance computing on a compact, desktop-sized system. The project uses the Grace Blackwell Superchip and will allow for 200 billion parameter models. Priced at $3,000, this initiative demonstrates Nvidia’s strategy to enhance the accessibility and portability of advanced AI technology.
Diversification Strategy: Nvidia Expands Beyond Hyperscalers
The company is diversifying into automotive, healthcare, and more to drive long-term growth.
While Nvidia’s rapid revenue growth has been heavily dependent on hyperscalers such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet (which together account for half of Nvidia’s revenue), the company is pushing to expand its footprint across a wide range of industries. At CES 2025, Nvidia emphasized its ambitions in AI for autonomous vehicles, robotics, and healthcare. The launch of the Nvidia Cosmos computing platform reflects its goal of making AI technology integral to the development of self-driving cars, robots, and more advanced AI systems. This strategy aims to further diversify its revenue streams beyond cloud computing.
Strong Growth Prospects Amid Market Volatility
Nvidia’s robust roadmap signals continued success in the AI-driven future.
Analysts continue to see Nvidia on a strong growth path. Despite the recent stock fluctuations, eToro analyst Josh Gibert believes Nvidia has a clear roadmap, with plans to roll out new products and expand in diverse industries. The company’s focus on AI-driven solutions, coupled with its expanding market presence, positions it to remain a dominant player in the tech space for years to come.
