IV / share
-65.8% vs $202.81
Revenue growth35.0% → 20.0% → 12.0% → 8.0% → 5.0%medium
Assumes hyperscaler AI spending plateaus and custom-silicon competition erodes NVIDIA's pricing and unit growth well below the Street's forecast.
Operating margin52.0%medium
Rising competition from AMD and hyperscaler ASICs plus a richer networking/systems mix pressures gross and operating margins downward.
Tax rate19.0%medium
Assumes loss of tax incentives and higher global minimum-tax exposure push the effective rate above guidance.
Reinvestment rate15.0%medium
Slower growth needs less capacity and R&D reinvestment, consistent with a decelerating revenue trajectory.
Terminal growth2.5%high
Long-run growth converges toward nominal GDP, discounted for a maturing, more contested compute market.
Base
medium confidence$113.33
IV / share
-44.1% vs $202.81
targetOperatingMargin of 0.62 clamped to [-1, 0.6]
Revenue growth55.0% → 32.0% → 22.0% → 16.0% → 12.0%high
Tracks Street consensus of strong but decelerating data-center AI growth as the addressable AI-infrastructure build-out scales past $1T.
Operating margin•60.0%high
Assumes NVIDIA sustains most of its pricing power while mix and competition trim margins slightly from peak levels.
Clamped from 62.0% by the guardrail.
Tax rate17.0%high
Uses the company's own full-year effective-tax-rate guidance as the base assumption.
Reinvestment rate25.0%medium
Moderate reinvestment in R&D, supply commitments, and networking/systems supports the base-case growth path.
Terminal growth3.0%high
Reflects durable long-run compute demand converging to roughly nominal GDP growth.
Bull
medium confidence$164.77
IV / share
-18.8% vs $202.81
targetOperatingMargin of 0.66 clamped to [-1, 0.6]
Revenue growth70.0% → 50.0% → 35.0% → 25.0% → 18.0%medium
Assumes sustained AI-infrastructure supercycle plus new demand (sovereign AI, UAE/export easing) keeps growth above the Street for longer.
Operating margin•60.0%medium
Continued architectural leadership and software/CUDA lock-in preserve premium pricing and operating leverage.
Clamped from 66.0% by the guardrail.
Tax rate16.0%medium
Assumes continued favorable jurisdictional mix and R&D credits keep the effective rate at the guided floor.
Reinvestment rate35.0%medium
Faster growth requires heavier reinvestment in supply, R&D, and systems to capture the larger AI opportunity.
Terminal growth4.0%medium
Assumes accelerated compute demand supports a terminal rate near the risk-free ceiling but not above it.
Market inputs researched
The 10-year Treasury yield is the standard proxy for the long-term risk-free rate in a USD DCF.
A ~1.7 levered beta balances NVDA's high historical volatility against mega-cap-driven mean reversion in forward beta.
Uses the forward-looking implied ERP preferred for valuation over historical averages.
Most recent market close for comparison against intrinsic value per share.
