Investing.com -- The path for Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) to become the first company with a $4 trillion market valuation begins today, Wedbush analysts said in a note.
The AI chipmaker is set to report its fiscal third-quarter earnings on Wednesday, with Wedbush analysts expecting “another ‘drop the mic performance’” from the company.
They note that Nvidia is the only company expected to have an AI capital expenditure (capex) of more than $1 trillion in the coming years, with its GPUs being “the new oil and gold in this world.”
“We believe the path to a $4 trillion market cap and beyond for 2025 starts today,” analysts led by Daniel Ives said in the note.
They predict Nvidia will deliver another $2 billion revenue beat in Q3, alongside a strong forward guidance, which they view as key for investor confidence.
Wedbush also highlights that production and demand for Nvidia’s Blackwell chips remain robust, and the investment bank expects “very bullish” commentary from CEO Jensen Huang during the earnings call.
“Blackwell represents the next frontier for Nvidia and the overall AI Revolution and we believe the Street is still way underestimating the demand curve over the next 12 to 18 months and beyond,” the note states.
Moreover, recent cloud-related AI results from companies like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) reinforce the bullish outlook.
Overall, Ives and his team argue that the conditions are favorable for tech stocks, including Nvidia, to sustain momentum into 2025, citing expectations of a macroeconomic soft landing, the start of a Federal Reserve rate-cutting cycle, and easing regulatory pressures under a potential Trump administration.
They view AI as a transformative investment cycle that is still in its early stages, poised to reshape the technology sector in the years ahead.
