‘Take a Deep Breath,' Says Top Investor About Nvidia Stock
Seasons change, presidents are elected, and markets rise and fall – but Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) continues to surpass expectations. Once again, the undisputed data center champion delivered top- and bottom-line beats with its Q1 Fiscal 2026 earnings report.

Nvidia's revenues grew 69% year-over-year to reach $44.1 billion, nicely outpacing projections by a cool $810 million. The company's lucrative data center segment is a particular point of pride, and its revenues grew even faster by 73% year-over-year to $39 billion.
While the overall numbers continue to impress, it was not all sunshine and rainbows.
Revenue growth – while the envy of many – is slowing, and margins – while north of 60% – also declined. Of course, a fair amount of the shrinking margins can be blamed on a $4.5 billion charge related to H20 GPUs that the company was not allowed to ship to China.
The big question, however, is how the share price will react going forward. NVDA has been up-and-down quite a bit in 2025 – and all told its share price is roughly even year-to-date. That being said, since hitting a low point in early April, NVDA has risen over 40%.
While top investor Jonathan Weber applauds Nvidia's revenue growth, he is not so sure that now is the time to jump on board.
'With Nvidia trading at more than 30x forward earnings again, following huge gains over the last couple of weeks, it is not as attractive as it was during the spring selloff,' explains the 5-star investor, who is in the top 2% of TipRanks' stock pros.
While Weber deems that revenue growth is excellent indeed, it is not exactly 'extraordinary' for a company that has delivered growth rates up to 270% in the recent past. Moreover, it represents a declining trend.
'Momentum is thus not on Nvidia's side, which can be explained by factors such as tough comparisons and the law of large numbers — no company can grow at an extremely high growth rate forever, not even Nvidia,' adds Weber.
Acknowledging that NVDA has been quite 'volatile' this year, Weber still sees plenty of growth up ahead. Whether or not that justifies buying NVDA at present is another story, however.
'Overall, I do not think that NVDA is a bad investment right here at all, but I also do not believe that it's a must-own,' concludes Weber, who assigns NVDA a Hold (i.e. Neutral) rating. (To watch Jonathan Weber's track record, click here)
Wall Street, on the other hand, is 'all in' on Nvidia. With 33 Buys, 4 Holds, and 1 Sell, NVDA enjoys a Strong Buy consensus rating. Its 12-month average price target of $165.29 has an upside north of 20%. (See NVDA stock forecast)

Paulson Advisers acquires a 40% ownership interest in Donlin Gold NOVAGOLD increases ownership interest in Donlin Gold from 50% to 60% Financial public offering and concurrent private placement raised sufficient funding for NOVAGOLD's acquisition and for the Donlin Gold Feasibility Study update All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NOVAGOLD RESOURCES INC. ('NOVAGOLD') (NYSE American, TSX: NG) and Paulson Advisers LLC ('Paulson') are pleased to announce the successful closing of their previously disclosed acquisition of Barrick Mining Corporation's ("Barrick's") 50% interest in the Donlin Gold project, establishing new ownership of Donlin Gold LLC to advance the Donlin Gold project in Alaska. At closing, NOVAGOLD acquired an additional 10% in Donlin Gold LLC for $200 million — increasing its stake to 60% — while Paulson secured a 40% interest in Donlin Gold LLC for $800 million. NOVAGOLD and Paulson entered into a new limited liability company agreement governing Donlin Gold with equal governance rights. 'Today we completed the successful and strategic Donlin Gold transaction through a strong collaborative effort between NOVAGOLD, Paulson, and Barrick since announcing the transaction on April 22, 2025,' said Greg Lang, NOVAGOLD's President and CEO. 'This constitutes a truly transformational transaction and an exciting new chapter for Donlin Gold as we advance one of the best and most jurisdictionally attractive gold development projects in the world. We look forward to providing updates on the key milestones in the coming months, starting with our revamped and determined efforts regarding the Feasibility Study workstream.'

If that option is not exercised, the debt, currently valued at $158.9 million as of June 3, 2025, will remain outstanding, substantially in accordance with its existing terms (U.S. prime plus 2% compounded semi-annually).

High costs delay Albertans from accessing health care: report
Many Canadians, including 60 per cent of Albertans, are delaying or skipping health appointments because of high costs, a new report says. (Pexels/Mikhail Nillov) A growing number of Albertans are skipping or delaying health care appointment because they can't afford treatment, a new report says. The 2025 Insurance Access and Affordability Study, released by PolicyMe in partnership with Angus Reid on Tuesday, states that high costs are a barrier for many people seeking health care, including those who have insurance. The study found 56 per cent of Canadians are putting off appointments because they're too expensive. PolicyMe, a Toronto-based insurance company, says some are even skipping appointments entirely. When it comes to Alberta, the report found 60 per cent of residents admitted to skipping, delaying or reducing the frequency of their appointments. Many Albertans (64 per cent) are also paying out-of-pocket for dental care, followed by vision care (60 per cent) and prescription drugs (56 per cent). Only four per cent of Albertans use the Canadian Dental Care Plan to cover costs, the report said. 'These numbers paint a clear picture: even as more benefits exist on paper, affordability continues to be a real barrier to accessing care, especially for those early in their careers,' the company said. 'Once they do secure coverage, however, the need is immediate. Over 50 per cent of PolicyMe customers submit a claim within the first 90 days, a strong signal that many are addressing long-delayed health care as soon as they're able.' PolicyMe says many Canadians do have health insurance, but older residents are the most likely to not be insured. Twenty-one per cent of residents over 55 years old have no health or dental coverage, the company said. Furthermore, PolicyMe said 36 per cent of Canadians feel that economic instability could risk reducing or eliminating their insurance coverage. The survey was conducted online from May 9 to 12 using a sample of 1,502 Canadians who are members of the Angus Reid Forum. The sample size has a margin of error of +/- 2.53 percentage points 19 times out of 20.
