NVIDIA's Meteoric Rise: On Track for a $7 Trillion Market Cap with Bold AI Investments and Strategic Alliances

NVIDIA, the leading AI chip manufacturer, continues its relentless dominance in the trillion-dollar AI infrastructure sector. The Wall Street titan, Cantor Fitzgerald, has solidified this sentiment by reiterating NVIDIA's "top pick" status and raising its price target from $240 to a Wall Street high of $300 per share. This upward revision implies NVIDIA's market capitalization could soar beyond $7 trillion, suggesting a potential 55% price increase.

At the latest closing on Thursday, NVIDIA's stock hit a record high, rising 1.83% to $192.57, outperforming the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 indices, maintaining its position at the top of the global market cap leaderboard. The tech giant is poised to significantly benefit from the enormous wave of AI infrastructure spending, as analysts forecast a potential breakthrough to over $5 trillion in market capitalization within a year.

The buzz around NVIDIA's "AI compute power myth" has reached new heights with its recent partnership announcement with Intel. Additionally, NVIDIA plans to invest a massive $100 billion into AI powerhouse OpenAI, collaborating on the construction of a 10-gigawatt capacity AI super data center. This strategic move underscores NVIDIA's pivotal role in the ongoing AI revolution.

Cantor analysts, having engaged with NVIDIA's senior leadership, including CEO Jensen Huang, anticipate the firm's earnings per share to significantly surpass market averages by 2026, projecting $8 per share, with further growth to $11 by 2027. The robust demand for AI tokens, particularly in fine-tuning and inference stages, is driving up profitability per token, evidenced by Google's Gemini software experiencing exponential monthly token usage.

NVIDIA's strategic focus on co-designing its AI infrastructure supply chain ensures it remains at the forefront of the AI hardware industry, driving significant demand for its Blackwell AI systems. This comprehensive full-stack strategy, involving parallel chip development and sustainable resource procurement, positions NVIDIA to meet the rapidly growing AI computation needs.

The firm's recent collaborations signal a significant shift towards integrating accelerated computing and AI, catering to mega-enterprises like Meta, Google, and others transitioning to AI-driven models. NVIDIA's strategic vision aligns with predictions of AI infrastructure spending reaching $3-4 trillion by 2030, promising substantial growth opportunities and reinforcing its status as a global technology leader.
