  • “We came away from GTC 2023 Day 1 incrementally more positive on the NVIDIA story,” Gill said in a note. The company had an “incrementally positive tone for near-term H100 demand with corresponding supply to meet accelerating, longer-term demand."
  • “The GPU inferencing TAM is likely larger than previously expected,” a part of the DGX Cloud strategy will be to rent from CSPs and go direct to customers, and “the Grace CPU strategy is targeting niche server markets with a focus on single-thread performance and high bandwidth data movements."
Oppenheimer
  • “Rapid adoption of OpenAI’s ChatGPT3 has provoked a sense of urgency among various companies/industries creating an inflection point,” Schafer said.
  • “Cloud computing has grown 20% annually over the past decade to a $1T industry,” the analyst mentioned. “NVDA is looking to accelerate every facet of the DC through its three chip GPU/CPU/DPU strategy,” he added.
Raymond James
  • “As expected, Generative AI was front and center at the NVDA GTC conference,” Pajjuri wrote in a note. “NVDA’s full-stack AI strategy was on full display with the company now expanding into Cloud service offerings to go with its chips, systems, and software,” the analyst said.
  • “We estimate that Cloud service offerings present ~$1B/yr incremental revenue opportunity in the next 2–3 years (based on $2.23B purchase commitments for Cloud capacity for the next 4-6 yrs),” he added.
NVDA Price Action: Shares of Nvidia jumped by 2.86% to $269.48 at the time of publication Wednesday.
