They are printing money with H100. The cost of for Nvidia is maybe $3k and have been selling it for $40k+ TSMC fab capacity and packaging are the bottlenecks for revenue growth.

TSMC should be charging NVDA much more

woulda, coulda, shoulda

After Apple, Nvidia pays more than anyone else for the latest nodes. They reserved capacity for a price and they get it for that price.

Guidance should be out soon and it might change things a bit but so far, the stock barely moves (compared to past earning reports) even with stock split + dividend increase. This looks rather bearish.

Dividend yield is 0.02% - the increase is meaningless anyway. It's quite amazing to me how the stock splits tends to boost the price, or at least it's the perception. What's the underlying mecanism ?

Not a comment about the stock price increase due to splits, but very high stock prices are an issue for employee stock purchase plans (ESPP): they can't offer fractional shares and they need to round down.

If you set aside 15% of a gross salary of $100k for 6 months, that's $7500. When the stock is at $1000, you get 7 shares. If the stock is $100, you get 75 shares. The lower your income, the more you miss out on ESPP that way.

It's not a huge deal if the stock is flat (you only get a 15% discount), but for a fast appreciating stock, those additional 5 shares can be real money.

Why it's not happening ? For the first quarters after AI exploded, I thought it was just that contracts were already signed, but what's stopping them now ?

Because Nvidia can say no and nobody else (except Apple) is willing to pay more for the latest node.

lol, you realize markets are closed right? this is all low volume after market trading.

Of course, all earning reports occurs outside trading hours. In the past though, most of the price action following earnings happened in after hours trading. Again, it might change after conference call but that's just the way it's been in the past quarters at least.

maybe allows more retail investors to buy? hypothetically fractional shares solves this but i bet in practice, not many folks buy fractional shares.

That's about the only 'rational' explanation I can think of - but I suspect that's really small money overall - it's not people who can only afford to buy 50$ that will drive up the price ? Or maybe the actual number is x10 - since we don't want to buy just 1 share, and the real minimum is 10 shares ?

Bloomberg consensus data expectations YoY were: 400% earnings growth and 242% revenue growth. The reality was 461% earnings growth (629% GAAP) 262% revenue growth. 78.9% gross margin. Nvidia did it again.

How do they keep doing this

as long as supply << demand.

I think it mostly just opens the door to retail investors with a smaller account. The announcement of a stock split by itself create that expectation and drives the price up.

Options strategies also become more accessible and the leverage of one-cent differences increases dramatically

I know it's never going to happen, but Nvidia really should spin off their consumer division - it's such a complete afterthought at this point. They are sitting on all of this amazing technology but just kind of stringing along the market at this point.

Why should they?

The underlying technology is the same.

>You can’t buy options on a $1000 stock Yes you can.

Thanks for your pedantic contribution. I obviously mean you can’t buy them on a small account. You can by a fraction of an NVDA share with $200 but you can’t buy a call option

Call / put spreads work
