The Spin
Narrative A
Nvidia's outstanding earnings signal that the AI revolution is truly just beginning. With an impressive $46.7 billion in revenue — well above expectations — Nvidia has demonstrated a remarkable 56% growth despite facing trade restrictions. This is not just a one-off success; major tech companies are collectively investing over $325 billion in AI this year, and Nvidia's forecast for even greater revenue next quarter underscores the solid fundamentals of the company.
Narrative B
The AI bubble is real and Nvidia's results confirm that the hype is fading. Even with record revenue, the company's growth is slowing dramatically from previous triple-digit increases, while data center sales missed expectations. When a 56% revenue jump isn't enough to satisfy investors, it shows that valuations have become completely disconnected from reality. The MIT study should be a wake-up call.
