Nvidia’s $1 trillion rout: Do you buy or sell the stock here?


Is Nvidia (NVDA) stock too cheap to ignore? It’s a question worth diving into at the moment. 

“The setup is really, really great from a technical perspective,” StockBrokers.com strategist Jessica Inskip said on Yahoo Finance’s Opening Bid (video above). “It’s a great buying opportunity. I think Nvidia is part of the AI infrastructure build-out. They are creating a moat. And there is certainly more to it. So I would be a buyer here.”

Nvidia has lost roughly $1 trillion in market value in less than two months. The stock is now trading at about 18 times forward earnings, below the S&P 500’s (^GSPC) forward price-to-earnings multiple of 21 times.

This is the cheapest Nvidia stock has been since early 2019, before the AI boom erupted. In 2019, the tech company was still seen as a play on video game chips and bitcoin mining.

The stock has tanked roughly 16% since hitting its all-time high on May 14 as investors have rotated into memory chip names like Sandisk (SNDK) and Micron (MU).

Several concerns are fueling the sell-off, Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya said, including:

  • Gross margin pressure from higher memory costs.

  • Custom ASIC competition.

  • Crowded investor ownership.

  • Unproductive use of cash in vendor financing versus stronger buybacks/dividends. 

Arya is staying the course, however, with a Buy rating on Nvidia.

“Our analysis suggests that at Nvidia’s current valuation, investors might already be implicitly discounting an unjustified ~30-35% headwind to 2027 and 2028 EPS estimates (effectively delta between Nvidia and growth peer forward PE),” Arya said. “We strongly disagree with the EPS discount and see it as an enhanced Buy opportunity for a unique, durable growth franchise now trading at a seven-year low 18x forward PE.” 

Others on Wall Street are also all in on Nvidia stock. 

About 95% of sell-side analysts rate Nvidia stock a Buy or Strong Buy, per Yahoo Finance data. There hasn’t been a single downgrade on the shares this year.
