Nvidia, riding high on the AI boom and holding a near-monopoly on chips for powerful AI models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, could potentially achieve a market value approaching $50 trillion within ten years. This projection, exceeding the combined market cap of the entire S&P 500, comes from a report by Financial Times quoting James Anderson, renowned for early investments in Tesla and Amazon.
In a remarkable surge this year, Nvidia’s shares have soared by 162%, propelling its market capitalization beyond $3 trillion—a stark contrast to its $150 million valuation in 2018. At its peak in June, Nvidia briefly outstripped Microsoft and Apple to become the world’s most valuable listed company.
James Anderson, known for his tenure at Baillie Gifford and now spearheading Lingotto Investment Management, forecasts a 60% annual growth in demand for AI chips. He anticipates this growth translating to earnings of $1,350 per Nvidia share and a staggering $49 trillion market cap over the next decade, with a perceived probability of 10-15%.
Nvidia’s strategic focus includes enhancing profitability for cloud providers through its GPUs, which yield a fivefold return on investment over four years for general GPU usage and sevenfold for AI inferencing tasks. The company’s advancements include the NVIDIA Inference Microservices (NIMs) supporting popular AI models and innovations like the energy-efficient Blackwell GPU and the upcoming Rubin GPU tailored for cloud infrastructure.
As Nvidia continues to lead in AI chip innovation and deployment, its trajectory underscores pivotal advancements shaping the future of computing and data processing efficiency.
