They're widely viewed as the best chips for training AI models, and Nvidia's financial forecasts suggest insatiable demand. Even with all that momentum and seemingly insatiable demand, baked into Nvidia's stock price is a slew of assumptions about growth, including the doubling of sales in coming quarters and the almost quadrupling of net income this fiscal year. Looking at the last 12 months of company earnings, Nvidia has a price-to-earnings ratio of 220, which is stunningly rich even compared with notoriously high-valued tech companies. Should Nvidia meet analysts' projections, the current price still looks high compared to most of the tech industry, but certainly more reasonable. It's the steepest weekly decline for Nvidia's stock since September of last year.
