Boosted Earnings Estimates and Rising Trends: Nvidia’s Growth Story Unveiled
Following the latest quarterly report, earnings estimates for Nvidia have been revised upwards for the coming years. The earnings per share for 2025 has been adjusted to $2.75, representing a 5% increase compared to previous forecasts.
For 2026, the earnings per share estimates have increased by 4% to $3.73, and for 2027, the earnings are expected to remain at $4.41 per share, unchanged since the previous report.
The most notable aspect is the significant increase in earnings per share estimates since the beginning of the year.
For 2025, earnings per share have risen by 50%, while 2026 and 2027 have seen even larger increases of 73% and 84% respectively.
The sharp upward adjustment reflects a strong belief in Nvidia’s long-term growth potential, especially in a time when the technology sector is undergoing significant transformation, driven by advancements in AI and cloud technology.
A Rising Trend for Sales and EBIT
Alongside the revised earnings estimates, Nvidia’s sales forecasts for the coming years have also been adjusted upwards. Sales for 2025 are now expected to reach $125 billion, representing a 3% increase post-report and an impressive 37% increase since the beginning of the year.
For 2026, the sales forecast has been raised by 4% to $175 billion, while 2027 is projected to reach $205 billion, a 6% increase from previous estimates and a total increase of 71% compared to year-start estimates.
All rapidly growing companies eventually face the challenge of a growing base that lowers the growth rate. The rapid growth rate is difficult to sustain, and it is not sustainable for Nvidia to continue doubling its revenue every year. The question remains about what is realistic and at what level a future normalized growth rate will stabilize.
The company’s EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) has also seen significant improvements. For 2025, the EBIT forecast has increased by 3% to $83 billion, and for 2026 by 4% to $115 billion. For 2027, EBIT has been adjusted upwards by 8% to $136 billion.
The increase in both sales and EBIT estimates underscores the market’s confidence in Nvidia’s business model and its ability to continue generating strong results in the coming years.
Valuation
Since Chat GPT was commercially launched on November 30, 2022, Nvidia’s stock price has surged by a whopping 600%, and the price-to-earnings multiple has actually decreased compared to then.
Nvidia’s five-year average p/e valuation is 72, making today’s valuation appear attractive. Currently, this year’s earnings are valued at a p/e ratio of 43, and next year’s earnings forecast yields a valuation of 32.
Furthermore, Nvidia’s valuation is strongly influenced by flows in and out of index funds and exchange-traded products, which occasionally disconnect the stock price from its true value.
Price Target and Analysts’ Views
Another crucial aspect post the latest quarterly report is the revised price target for Nvidia’s stock. The average price target has now been raised by 6% to nearly $149.
The upward adjustment is particularly noteworthy when considering the development since the beginning of the year, where the price target has increased by a whopping 128%. This is in line with the year’s price surge of 135%.
Analysts’ recommendations for Nvidia remain overwhelmingly positive. Currently, 92% of analysts recommend buying the stock, while 7% remain neutral.
