Vijay Rakesh, an analyst at Mizuho, highlighted that the prevailing consensus in the market is that Nvidia’s earnings for the second fiscal quarter will outperform expectations. The current market focus centers on Nvidia’s outlook for AI spending, particularly in terms of AI-related capital expenditures and projected revenue for the coming year. Analysts anticipate adjusted earnings per share of $2.08 and revenue reaching $92 billion. However, Rakesh contends that the actual figures are likely to be substantially higher. Consequently, he maintains an "Outperform" rating for Nvidia, along with a price target of $300. He noted that Wall Street’s projection of $550 billion in AI revenue for Nvidia next year appears relatively conservative. Additionally, Rakesh referenced Nvidia’s financing agreements with Wall Street consortia, as well as SpaceX’s initiative to construct a multi-gigawatt solar factory—factors that could potentially generate an extra $400-500 billion in AI revenue for Nvidia.
