    Nvidia Guides to $91B Revenue; Narrowly Trails Street Estimates

    Question

    Nvidia Guides to $91B Revenue; Narrowly Trails Street Estimates

    Direct answer

    Nvidia's $91 billion guidance represents a massive scale-up, yet the $900 million gap versus analyst estimates triggered immediate profit-taking. The market is currently grappling with 'peak AI' sentiment as major funds rotate out of the name. Notably, Nvidia's balance sheet is becoming a venture arm for the AI ecosystem, with a $21 billion stake in SpaceX and $10 billion in xAI, linking its valuation to the success of private space and LLM ventures.
