QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF NVIDIA

NVIDIA GPU
Despite their innovation, they’re fabless — meaning Nvidia focuses on designing chips instead of producing chips. To learn more about the semiconductor ecosystem, click on the link to find out!
Founded in 1993 by 3 computer scientists including current CEO Jensen Huang, the company’s HQ resides in Santa Clara, California. They entered the stock market in 1999 via an IPO with the ticker symbol NVDA on NASDAQ.
PRODUCTS & SOLUTIONS
Nvidia’s GPUs find versatile application across a spectrum of computing platforms:

Data Centers – Nvidia’s GPUs play a pivotal role in data centers. The GPUs accelerate complex computations with parallel processing capabilities which power artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads. This allows data centers to process vast amounts of information efficiently.
NVIDIA'S FUTURE PLAN WITH AI
ACCELERATED COMPUTING
Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, has unveiled a vision centered around accelerated computing for the forthcoming computing era.
Accelerated computing involves turbocharging computation using specialized hardware, such as GPU, particularly in situations where tasks demand substantial computational power and parallelism, like the training of deep neural networks in AI.

This strategy targets the enhancement of compute-intensive aspects within applications through a comprehensive full-stack approach, with a combination of Hardware (silicon chips), Systems (acceleration libraries) and Software.
NVIDIA AI & NVIDIA OMNIVERSE
In an era where data centers are becoming the new computing hub, Nvidia steps forward with a suite of cloud services to address these demands, including Nvidia AI and Nvidia Omniverse.
Nvidia’s AI initiatives harness cutting-edge technologies to drive advancements across various industries with AI-driven solutions. By harnessing potent GPUs and innovative software, Nvidia AI is reshaping domains such as healthcare, finance and autonomous driving.
- In healthcare, AI’s image analysis prowess expedites diagnoses while predictive models enhance treatment planning.
- In finance, AI’s data analytics aids in risk assessment and fraud detection.
- Autonomous driving is transformed through AI’s ability to interpret surroundings and make real-time decisions, revolutionizing road safety.

Nvidia Omniverse
INVESTMENTS INTO AI STARTUPS
NVIDIA also invested in AI startups, such as OmniML and Inflection AI.
Nvidia acquiring OmniML highlights their commitment to enhancing Edge AI capabilities. They plan to integrate OmniML‘s tech to improve Edge AI performance, particularly with the Omnimizer tool that optimizes on-device AI tasks, saving time and cost.

The collaboration shapes the Edge AI landscape, accelerating AI’s potential in various applications. This acquisition signifies Nvidia’s strategy, transforming Edge AI through advanced tech integration.

While Nvidia is known for advanced AI systems like ChatGPT, their partnership with Inflection AI underscores a focus on creating a friendly and empathetic AI experience, akin to conversing with a compassionate friend.
QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF NVIDIA
REVENUE GENERATION
In the fiscal year 2023, Nvidia achieved a substantial total revenue of USD 27 billion, with 56% attributed to the Compute & Networking segment. The Graphics segment accounted for the remaining 44% of revenue.

Graphic Source: GuruFocus
- Graphics Segment: responsible for designing and delivering cutting-edge graphics processing units (GPUs) to deliver stunning graphics, real-time rendering, and immersive gameplay.
- Compute & Networking Segment: focuses on utilizing Nvidia GPUs for computational tasks beyond graphics, such as accelerating complex computations through parallel processing to drive progress in AI, machine learning, and scientific research. This segment is also involved in networking solutions to support fast data transfer in modern communication networks.
Nvidia further segmented its revenue based on geographical regions: the United States, Taiwan, Other countries, and China (including Hong Kong). Notably, each of these regions made nearly equal contributions to the revenue, as depicted by the pie chart for FY 2023.

Data Source: Q1 FY24 Quarterly Report
In their most recent quarterly report (Q1 FY 2024), the Compute & Networking segment took the lead, generating 62% of the revenue, while the Graphics segment accounted for 38% of the total revenue. This highlights the dynamic shifts in revenue distribution across these two pivotal business segments.
In terms of geographical contributions, the United States remained the largest revenue generator at 33%, followed by Taiwan at 25%. China accounted for 22% of the revenue, while Singapore and Other regions contributed 11% and 9%, respectively.Very large text.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS

From 2014 onward, Nvidia experienced a consistent upward trajectory in its EPS. However, a stark deviation was witnessed in 2023 where the EPS dropped to 1.76, which raised concerns.
The notable decline in EPS during that year can be attributed, in part, to a slump in PC sales observed in late 2022, as evident from the quarterly EPS results.

This transition serves as a segue into our next exploration: uncovering potential risks lurking beneath Nvidia’s recent AI-driven hype. Despite the buzz, delving into these potential challenges is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the company’s standing.
POTENTIAL RISKS
While Nvidia’s AI-driven GPU future appears promising, prudent investors must also consider potential risks before committing to the company.
NVIDIA operates as a chip design firm, not a manufacturer, focusing on advanced AI chip designs. Manufacturing is outsourced to semiconductor fabs, currently collaborating with TSMC.

The question looms: Can present semiconductor tech keep pace with cutting-edge AI chip designs and demands?
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Nvidia stands as a pioneering force in the realm of technology, spearheading innovations that have not only reshaped industries but also transformed the way we interact with artificial intelligence.
Their GPU technology has not only powered cutting-edge AI applications like ChatGPT but also demonstrated its versatility across gaming, data centers, professional visualization, and automotive sectors.
From their remarkable rise in stock prices, underpinned by exceptional performance in the midst of the AI boom, to their strategic investments in AI startups like OmniML and Inflection AI, Nvidia has consistently showcased their commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI capabilities.
However, amid their success, Nvidia remains conscious of challenges such as cyclical shifts in the semiconductor industry, export restrictions, and the intricacies of maintaining consistent EPS growth.
Nevertheless, as Nvidia navigates the ever-changing technological terrain, it’s important to remain vigilant and attentive to the potential impact of future AI developments that could shape the realm of innovation significantly.

Templeton and is a current member of the John M. Templeton Foundation, established in 1987 by renowned international investor, Sir John Templeton. She began investing as a child under the heavy influence of her father as well as her late great-uncle, Sir John Templeton.
About Sir John Templeton
Sir John Marks Templeton was born in 1912, in the small town of Winchester, Tennessee. He attended Yale University and graduated near the top of his class and as President of Phi Beta Kappa. He was named a Rhodes Scholar to Balliol College at Oxford, from which he graduated with a degree in law.
Templeton started his Wall Street career in 1938 and went on to create some of the world’s largest and most successful international investment funds. He was famous for picking companies that hit “points of maximum pessimism” (ie. Rock bottom prices). When war began in Europe in 1939, he borrowed money to buy 100 shares each in 104 companies selling at one dollar per share or less, including 34 companies that were in bankruptcy. Only four turned out to be worthless, and he turned large profits on the others.
Templeton established the Templeton Growth Fund in 1954. With dividends reinvested, each $10,000 invested in the Templeton Growth Fund Class A at its inception would have grown to $2 million by 1992. He eventually sold the family of Templeton Funds to the Franklin Group — scores of them with $13 billion in assets — in 1992, and turned to philanthropies that had engaged him for decades.
