在芯片市場占據(jù)主導地位的英偉達(Nvidia)的崛起,與華爾街的人工智能熱潮息息相關,但周二的市場拋售卻對這家芯片制造商的股票造成了最嚴重的沖擊。英偉達市值縮水2,790億美元,這是美國公司市值的最大單日降幅,周三英偉達股價繼續(xù)小幅下跌。
正如沃倫·巴菲特所說的那樣,“在別人恐慌時貪婪,在別人貪婪時恐慌”,可以帶來回報。今年上半年,快速增長的英偉達貢獻了標普500指數(shù)約30%的總回報。現(xiàn)在,投資者是否有一個絕佳的機會,趁股價下跌買入這家公司的股票?
即使經(jīng)過暴跌之后,英偉達股價從年初至今依舊上漲了115%。但分析師們明確表示,投資者不應該期待英偉達股價會繼續(xù)以同樣的幅度上漲。周三收盤時,英偉達股價從6月份創(chuàng)紀錄的140.76美元,跌至略高于106美元。還有一種普遍的觀點認為,盡管英偉達前幾個季度的營收增長速度令人震驚,但未來營收增長必定會放緩。
為了理解為什么英偉達的增長可能放緩,可以看看其數(shù)據(jù)中心業(yè)務。該業(yè)務是英偉達的主要收入來源。上個季度,數(shù)據(jù)中心業(yè)務的營收達到263億美元,創(chuàng)歷史紀錄,同比增長154%。然而,這遠低于前一個季度427%的營收漲幅。
在英偉達上周發(fā)布第二季度財報前,美國財務研究與分析中心(CFRA Research)高級副總裁兼科技股分析師安吉洛·奇諾在接受《財富》雜志采訪時表示,英偉達正在受到“大數(shù)法則”的影響。他呼吁客戶在英偉達召開業(yè)績電話會議之前要小心謹慎。
他說道:“但盡管如此,我的意思是看看這家公司的估值,它當前的交易價格實際上遠低于其歷史估值水平。”
即使英偉達最近的業(yè)績超出預期,由維瓦克·埃利亞領導的美國銀行(Bank of America)分析師依舊認同這種觀點。埃利亞和他的團隊將英偉達的股價目標從150美元提高到165美元。奇諾和美國財務研究與分析中心對英偉達股票依舊給出買入評級,并維持了今年139美元的價格目標。
根據(jù)標普全球市場情報(S&P Global Market Intelligence)的數(shù)據(jù),截至周二收盤,英偉達的交易價格約為稀釋后每股收益的68倍。去年9月,英偉達的市盈率為180倍。
奇諾指出,從長遠來看,對英偉達最大的擔憂是它在需求開始下滑時的表現(xiàn)。目前對英偉達產(chǎn)品的需求遠高于供給。在周三上午發(fā)布的一條推文中,CNBC的吉姆·克萊默表示,他認為,摩根大通資產(chǎn)管理公司(J.P. Morgan Asset Management)市場與投資策略主席邁克爾·塞姆巴萊斯特的一份報告,嚴重影響了英偉達的股價。在報告中,塞姆巴萊斯特質(zhì)疑谷歌(Google)、亞馬遜(Amazon)、微軟(Microsoft)和Meta等科技巨頭在人工智能領域投入了數(shù)千億美之后,能否獲得足夠多的回報。
奇諾認為,從長遠來看答案是肯定的。
奇諾表示:“因為我們會看到這是永久的改變。未來會有更多支持人工智能的設備,會有大量網(wǎng)聯(lián)設備問世。因此需要更多數(shù)據(jù)中心。”
如果是這樣的話,投資者現(xiàn)在買入英偉達股票,或許并不會完全錯失良機。(財富中文網(wǎng))

The rise of Nvidia has been synonymous with Wall Street’s AI-boom, but Tuesday’s market sell-off hit the dominant chip maker’s stock the hardest. Nvidia shed $279 billion in market cap, the biggest ever drop for an American company in a single day, before shares fell slightly further on Wednesday.
As Warren Buffett once said, it can pay “to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.” Do investors now have a rare opportunity to buy the dip for shares of a fast-growing company that accounted for roughly 30% of the S&P 500’s total returns during the first half of the year?
Even after the plunge, Nvidia’s stock is still up 115% year-to-date. Analysts, though, have made clear investors should not expect shares—which closed just above the $106 mark Wednesday, down from an all-time high of $140.76 in June—to continue appreciating at the same pace. It is also common wisdom that revenue growth will inevitably decelerate given the eye-popping growth of previous quarters.
To get an idea of why Nvidia's growth is poised to slow, consider its data center business, which has been the company’s main revenue driver. Revenue from those operations hit a record $26.3 billion this past quarter, up 154% from a year ago. Nonetheless, it was a far cry from the unit’s 427% revenue bump last quarter.
The company is running into the law of large numbers, Angelo Zino, a senior vice president and tech equity analyst at CFRA Research, said in an interview with Fortune before last week’s Q2 earnings release. He urged caution to his clients heading into the call.
“But that said, listen, I mean, when you look at the valuation of this company, it's trading at a big discount to where it actually historically trades at,” he said.
That message was echoed by Bank of America analysts, a group led by Vivek Arya, even after Nvidia beat expectations in its latest earnings. Arya and his team raised their price target on the stock from $150 to $165. Zino and CFRA maintained its buy rating on the stock, standing pat with a price target of $139 for the year.
As of Tuesday close, Nvidia was trading around 68 times its diluted EPS, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. That’s down from a P/E ratio of 180 last September.
The biggest long-term concern for Nvidia, Zino noted, is what happens when demand, which currently far outstrips supply, begins to dry up. In a tweet Wednesday morning, CNBC’s Jim Cramer said he believed Nvidia’s stock was significantly hurt by a note from Michael Cembalest, the chairman of market and investment strategy at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Cembalest raised doubts about whether tech giants like Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta will earn adequate returns after spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI-investment.
In the long haul, Zino believes the answer is yes.
“Because that's the kind of shift, the permanent shift we're going to see,” Zino said. “There are just going to be a lot more AI-enabled devices out there, a lot more connected devices out there. And because of that, you're going to need a lot more data centers in the future.”
If so, investors who buy Nvidia now might not completely miss the boat.
