‘Don't Bet Against It': $4 Trillion in Sight for Nvidia Stock, Says Investor
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has regained much of its shine over the last two months, catching fire once more with a bull run that has boosted its share price by some 50%. Confident Investing Starts Here: This sharp rebound came after a rare rough patch for the AI chipmaker earlier in 2025, when the stock struggled under the weight of tariff shocks, export restrictions, and concerns over reduced capex spending by hyperscalers. The tide began to turn as geopolitical tensions eased and major cloud players reaffirmed their investment plans, restoring confidence in the AI infrastructure boom. A strong earnings report and bullish guidance in late May further reinforced that momentum. However, even with the renewed optimism, not all signals are flashing green. Nvidia's revenue growth is beginning to decelerate – a likely outcome given its enormous scale – prompting some investors to question how much upside is still left. Could this be the point where enthusiasm gives way to caution? One investor, known by the pseudonym Cash Flow Venue, thinks the best course of action is to take a deep breath – and enjoy the ride. 'Let go of valuation concerns and wait for a $4 trillion+ valuation,' explains Cash Flow Venue, who urges investors to simply 'follow the money!' Looking at its recent Fiscal Q1 2026 earnings report, Cash Flow Venue cites the company's impressive year-over-year growth of 69% as a sign that Nvidia has no problem generating cash. Meanwhile, the company's EBITDA for the trailing twelve months has grown to some $91 billion, with the pace of the gains outpacing the rise in Nvidia's Enterprise Value. 'Nvidia's bears often forget that its valuation growth wasn't detached from the business growth. Even more, the business grew more dynamically than the valuation,' Cash Flow Venue noted. And there are plenty of drivers to boost additional growth, the investor hastens to add. With its top-tier hardware, CUDA software, and robust finances, Cash Flow Venue believes that CEO Jense Huang's optimism regarding Nvidia's future is certainly justified. With the pole position in the AI race and plenty of momentum on its side, it's an easy decision for this investor. 'A 'strong buy' business with the best capabilities to capitalize on the new 'industrial revolution,'' concludes Cash Flow Venue (To watch Cash Flow Venue's track record, click here) That's the gist on Wall Street as well. With 35 Buy, 4 Hold, and 1 Sell recommendations, NVDA continues to be a consensus Strong Buy. Its 12-month average price target of $172.36 indicates that despite its recent surge, analysts still see an upside of ~21% up ahead.

HBM And Emerging Memory Technologies Enable AI Training And Inference
AI During congressional hearing in the House of Representatives' Energy & Commerce Committee Subcommittee of Communication and Technology, Ronnie Vasishta, Senior VP of telecom at Nvidia said that mobile networks will be called upon to support a new kind of traffic—AI traffic. This AI traffic includes the delivery of AI services to the edge, or inferencing at the edge. Such growth in AI data could reverse the general trend towards lower growth in traffic on mobile networks. Many AI-enabled applications will require mobile connectivity including autonomous vehicles, smart glasses, generative AI services and many other applications. He said that the transmission of this massive increase in data needs to be resilient, fit for purpose, and secure. Supporting this creation of data from AI will require large amount of memory, particularly very high bandwidth memory, such as HBM. This will result in great demand for memory that supports AI applications. Micron announced that it is now shipping HBM4 memory to key customers, these are for early qualification efforts. The Micron HBM4 provides up to 2.0TB/s bandwidth and 24GB capacity per 12-high die stack. The company says that their HBM4 uses its 1-beta DRAM node, advanced through silicon via technologies, and has a highly capable built-in self-test. See image below. Micron HBM4 Memory HBM memory consisting of stacks of DRAM die with massively parallel interconnects to provide high bandwidth are combined GPU's such as those from Nvidia. This memory close to the processor allows training and inference of various AI models. The current generation of HBM memory used in current GPUs use HBM3e memory. At the 2025 March GTC in San Jose, Jensen Huang said that Micron HBM memory was being used in some of their GPU platforms. The manufacturers of HBM memories are SK Hynix, Samsung and Micron with SK Hynix and Samsung providing the majority of supply and with Micron coming in third. SK hynix was the first to announce HBM memory in 2013, which was adopted as an industry standard by JEDEC that same year. Samsung followed in 2016 and in 2020 Micron said that it would create its own HBM memory. All of these companies expect to be shipping HBM4 memories in volume by sometime in 2026. Numen, a company involved in magnetic random access memory applications, recently talked about how traditional memories used in AI applications, such as DRAM and SRAM have limitations in power, bandwidth and storage density. They said that processing performance has skyrocketed by 60,000X over the past 20 years but DRAM bandwidth has improved only 100X, creating a 'memory wall.' The company says that its AI Memory Engine is a highly configurable memory subsystem IP that enables significant improvements in power efficiency, performance, intelligence, and endurance. This is not only for Numem's MRAM-based architecture, but also third-party MRAMs, RRAM, PCRAM, and Flash Memory. Numem said that it has developed next-generation MRAM supporting die densities up to 1GB which can deliver SRAM-class performance with up to 2.5X higher memory density in embedded applications and 100X lower standby power consumption. The company says that its solutions are foundry-ready and production-capable today. Coughlin Associates and Objective Analysis in their Deep Look at New Memories report predict that AI and other memory-intensive applications, including the use of AI inference in embedded devices such as smart watches, hearing aids and other applications are already using MRAM, RRAM and other emerging memory technologies will decrease the costs and increase production of these memories. These memories technologies are already available from major semiconductor foundries. They scale to smaller lithographic scaling that DRAM and SRAM and because they are non-volatile, no refreshes are needed and so they consume less power. As a result, these memories allow more memory capacity and lower power consumption in space and power constrained environments. MRAM and RRAM are also being built into industrial, enterprise and data center applications. The figure below shows our projections for replacement of traditional memories, SRAM, DRAM, NOR and NAND Flash memory by these emerging memories. NOR and SRAM, in particular, for embedded memories are projected to be replaced by these new memories within the next decade as part of a future $100B memory market. Projected replacement of conventional memories with new memories AI will generate increased demand for memory to support training and inference. It will also increase the demand for data over mobile networks. This will drive demand for HBM memory but also increase demand for new emerging memory technologies.

Worried About Tesla's Robotaxi? These Two Words From Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Might Change Your Mind.
Elon Musk sees autonomous driving as a major component of Tesla's future. While the competition in this young industry will be intense, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang thinks Tesla has an edge. Some on Wall Street have been raising their share price outlooks for Tesla stock, but recent price action suggests now could be a risky time to buy. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is primarily known for two things: electric vehicles (EV) and energy storage. For years, however, the company's eccentric CEO Elon Musk has been talking about a vision for the company that's rooted in artificial intelligence (AI). Specifically, Musk wants to parlay Tesla's automobile business into a full-fledged robotaxi operation. The prospects of Tesla disrupting ride-hailing, delivery services, and even car rental businesses has investors excited. But just how real is the opportunity? According to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who appears to be a fan of Musk already, Tesla's autonomous driving ambitions are very real. Let's dig into some recent commentary from Huang that should have Tesla bulls cheering. During an April 2024 earnings call, Musk made an interesting point comparing the evolution of automobiles to that of cellphones. He described how the release of the iPhone and Android devices served as an existential shift in the mobile phone business, essentially turning flip phones into relics. Musk went on to predict that "all cars will need to be smart cars" in the future. By "smart car," Musk means cars that are capable of driving themselves. Essentially, he is saying that autonomous driving is the future of the automotive industry, and if legacy manufacturers such as Ford and General Motors don't catch up to what Tesla is developing through its full self-driving software, then "licensing becomes not optional." During an interview with Yahoo! Finance, Huang appeared to echo Musk's sentiment that all cars will eventually be leveraging autonomous driving technology. But the real kicker is what Huang said about Tesla, declaring the company is "far ahead" of the competition. Two of the biggest Tesla bulls on Wall Street are equity research analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities and Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood. With Tesla's robotaxi launch reportedly on the horizon, Ives got investors excited when he recently declared the "golden age" of autonomous driving has arrived. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Ives also raised his price target to $500 for Tesla stock, implying nearly 53% upside from the stock's closing price on June 10. Considering Alphabet's Waymo already has the lead in robotaxis, combined with existing footprints in the ride-hailing industry from Uber and Lyft, Tesla would appear to have an uphill battle when it comes to acquiring customers and scaling its own autonomous vehicle fleet. Nevertheless, Wood appears to be even more bullish than Ives. The Ark Invest founder recently doubled down on her optimistic case for Tesla with a five-year share price target of $2,600! Tesla has long been a stock that exhibits out-of-the-ordinary behavior. What I mean by that is measuring Tesla based on traditional valuation metrics such as price-to-sales (P/S) or price-to-earnings (P/E) has rarely been useful. The reason is because Tesla stock tends to move based on narratives and less so on concrete financials. Over the last month, shares of Tesla have gained roughly 9% as of June 10. However, within that brief period, the stock had climbed as high as 22% and declined as much as 5%. This is an extreme range of volatility, even for Tesla. Tesla stock started to tick higher throughout May as Musk announced that he's moving on from his public sector duties at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Investors were happy to hear this as they assumed Musk would refocus on Tesla, a business that's been stagnant for over a year now. On top of that, the expected robotaxi rollout in June likely attracted some investors as well. But over the last week, Tesla stock took a nosedive at one point due to a very public feud between Musk and President Donald Trump -- specifically regarding disagreements the two have on Trump's new spending bill. Just weeks ago, it seemed the upside from the robotaxi launch was already priced into Tesla stock, but now, you could argue this is an opportunity to buy the dip. With this much volatility and so much of it hanging on the robotaxi, I'd wait and see how the launch goes. Long-term scaling of the robotaxi business will require regulatory approvals, making Musk's political feuds all the more relevant. While it's tempting to scoop up shares of Tesla based on positive talking points from prominent figures such as Huang, Ives, and Wood, there's just too many unknowns surrounding the company right now to make it a prudent buy at these prices. Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you'll want to hear this. On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a 'Double Down' stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you're worried you've already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it's too late. And the numbers speak for themselves: Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you'd have $373,325!* Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you'd have $38,475!* Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you'd have $649,102!* Right now, we're issuing 'Double Down' alerts for three incredible companies, available when you join , and there may not be another chance like this anytime soon.*Stock Advisor returns as of June 9, 2025 Suzanne Frey, an executive at Alphabet, is a member of The Motley Fool's board of directors.
