HAPPY THURSDAY TO THE STREET
It was the age-old story. Nvidia $NVDA ( ▼ 0.97% ) crushed expectations. Wall Street cheered. Then Michael Burry did.
Shortly after the $4T chipmaking giant’s latest beat, Burry (of The Big Short fame) accused Nvidia’s biggest customers of inflating true demand, warned that aging chips aren’t the profit engines the company suggests, and highlighted dilution despite over $100 billion in buybacks.
Ultimately, the stock gave up its earlier gains, finishing the day sharply down. Two retail favs entered the ring. Only one walked away unscathed.
🟥 | US stocks fell, reversing course as an AI-fueled rally fizzled and the odds of a December Fed cut seemed to fade.
📈 | One Notable Gainer: Exact Sciences $EXAS ( ▲ 0.23% ) jumped after Abbott agreed to buy the company for $105 per share in a $21B deal.
📉 | One Notable Decliner: Bath & Body Works $BBWI ( ▼ 4.93% ) fell after missing Q3 estimates with $0.35 EPS and $1.59B in revenue.

Tomorrow's Trade Idea, Today
ONE ANALYST ISN’T BUYING NVIDIA’S SURGE

A Lone Voice on the Street
Nvidia $NVDA ( ▼ 0.97% ) just delivered another blockbuster quarter. Revenue and earnings blew past expectations. Data center sales jumped 66% year-over-year. Guidance came in strong. Nearly every major bank responded with another bullish call.
Except one.
Deutsche Bank $DB ( ▲ 1.85% ) remains the only bulge bracket firm with a Hold rating. Analyst Ross Seymore kept his $215 price target, implying just 16% upside from current levels. Every other large bank has a Buy-equivalent rating. Several see far more room to run.
Priced for Perfection
The bank isn’t bearish per se. But Seymore’s reticence echoes a growing sentiment on the Street that the time has come to tap the brakes on Nvidia’s stratospheric rise. His neutral stance suggests future growth is already baked into the price.
According to the analyst, Nvidia would need to deliver roughly 85% revenue growth over the next two years to justify the valuation embedded in his 2027 estimates. That already puts the shares at about 23x his forward earnings forecast.
Seymore praised Nvidia’s strength across AI compute, networking, software, and systems. In his view, Nvidia’s lead over competitors looks more likely to widen than narrow. But the stock’s sharp climb has made it harder to argue that investors are missing the story.
Still a Bullish Picture
The analyst also flagged a few pressure points. Operating expenses are rising quickly. China revenue continues to lag. Gaming sales slipped in what is usually a seasonally strong quarter.
Despite the caution, the analyst reiterated his long-term optimism. He expects a positive reaction to the results and believes Nvidia shares should maintain a constructive bias from here.
But the gap between his rating and the Street’s broader enthusiasm reflects a significant divide. Most analysts see more fuel in the tank. Deutsche Bank sees a great company priced like an exceptional one.
