Santa Clara, California – Nvidia’s highly anticipated annual GTC event is set to kick off on March 18, overshadowing the start of the Fed meeting the following day. Referred to as the “Woodstock of AI” by some on Wall Street, this event is expected to be a major catalyst for the company and the broader market.
As analysts and investors gear up for the event, all eyes will be on several key factors highlighted by BofA analyst Vivek Arya. These include the challenges posed by the energy-intensive genAI computing requirements, the increasing competition from custom chips and merchant silicon, as well as the company’s profit model, sales growth projections, and potential impact from China restrictions.
The excitement around Nvidia’s GTC is palpable, with many anticipating potential stock price movements based on the outcomes of the event. The company’s impressive gross margin and EBIT margins, along with its substantial cash reserves exceeding $100 billion, provide a strong foundation for growth. However, concerns loom regarding regulatory hurdles and the threat of further restrictions in China affecting future growth prospects.
