Recently, the stock price of Nvidia, a world-renowned technology company, has received widespread attention. In particular, the news that Tesla founder Elon Musk plans to purchase US$9 billion in AI chips has aroused strong interest among investors.
Nvidia is currently one of the most valuable companies, with its stock price soaring 195% in the past year, and its market value reaching $3.5 trillion. However, whether Nvidia's growth can be sustained is still a topic worth exploring.

Nvidia's revenue growth began to slow down in early 2024. Although it still achieved 94% growth in the third quarter, it seemed a bit weak compared with the 206% to 265% growth in previous quarters. The company's expected growth rate for the fourth quarter is only 70%, and this continued slowdown has attracted market attention. Investors are beginning to evaluate whether Nvidia can continue to beat market expectations in the future.
Nvidia faces several other challenges. First, the company relies heavily on a handful of large customers, with orders from several customers accounting for more than 10% of the company's total revenue, data shows. If the needs of these customers change, Nvidia's results could be materially affected. In addition, with the rapid development of generative AI, Nvidia needs to invest more money in building data centers and related facilities. It is expected that these investments will exceed US$1 trillion by 2030. Such huge expenditures may affect the company's profitability if they fail to bring about corresponding revenue growth.
Still, Nvidia has the potential to grow. If the company's new Blackwell chips receive large-scale orders, it may bring unexpected benefits to the company. The chip is considered more energy-efficient and efficient than previous high-end chips and is expected to generate $13 billion in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024. In addition, many large AI service providers are building supercomputer clusters containing Nvidia chips. The Colossus supercomputer project being carried out by Musk's xAI company is an example. The construction of such clusters may also drive Nvidia's sales upward.
Nvidia faces many challenges, but continued growth is possible, driven by new products and market demand. Future market performance will depend on the company's ability to effectively respond to these challenges and seize new opportunities.
All in all, Nvidia's future development is full of opportunities and challenges. Whether it can continue to maintain high growth remains to be seen. The editor of Downcodes will continue to pay attention to Nvidia's developments and bring more information to readers.
