Nvidia The company is headed for a meteoric rise by the end of the decade, according to a former consulting executive.
Phil Panaro – a former senior advisor at Boston Consulting Group who was also CEO of a BCG subsidiary – says the AI chipmaker’s shares will reach $800 by 2030. That implies another 545% upside for the stock, which was trading around $122 per share at the midpoint. -day Friday.
The Jensen Huang-led company will benefit from the revolution in artificial intelligenceas well as migration from Web2 to Web3Panaro predicted, referencing the idea that the next era of the internet will be defined by blockchain technology.
These developments could lead to big spending from Nvidia customers, he said, pointing to Nvidia estimates Goldman Sachs, Citi GroupAnd Morgan Stanley that Web3 could bring trillions of added value to the market.
“Nvidia is driving all the accelerated computing to make that happen, so they’re going to get a big piece of that,” Panaro said in an interview with Schwab Network on Thursday. He later estimated that the company’s revenue could increase by a factor of 10, from $60 billion last fiscal year to $600 billion by 2030.
Investors may not have to wait long to see some of those gains. Panaro foresees a “huge explosion” in the stock price after Nvidia releases Blackwell, its next-generation AI chip, although he did not specify his near-term price target.
“Not to sound too confident, it’s actually inevitable, provided they can keep making these chips,” he later added about the company’s upside potential. “The penetration of AI in the economy is literally less than 1% right now. So you still have all the companies, the cities, the municipalities, the governments, the military, that are going to spend money to make sure that they can use AI effectively. So tons of money still needs to be spent.”
Some strategists are skeptical of Nvidia’s rally, which has seen the stock rise a monstrous 2,733% over the past five years. Analysts have attributed some of that growth to “hyperscalers,” a small group of Big Tech companies that buy Nvidia’s chips in bulk.
But despite those concerns customers might eventually withdrawAccording to Panaro, the small group of buyers is actually a good sign that Nvidia’s business will grow.
“That is actually the best argument why it will actually increase. Because if you look at all the other customers that they’re not reaching, there are 490 other Fortune 500 companies that haven’t really fully adopted AI because they don’t You don’t understand. You have all these cities and governments that are going to redesign their entire infrastructure from Web2 to Web3, and then you have the AI arms race, with countries and their armies, which Nvidia has not yet penetrated. part,” Panaro said.
He continued: “The stocks can essentially go to the moon, provided they yield.”
Panaro’s forecast leans toward the extremes of the forecasters, but Wall Street is generally bullish on the chipmaker’s shares, which are up 152% since the start of the year. Analysts have issued an average price target of $152 per share for the stock, according to Nasdaq data, implying an upside of about 25% from current levels.
