I Keep Buying Nvidia Over and Over Despite China Concerns, Despite The Tech Selloff

Sep 21, 2026 3:19 PM · YahooFinance

NVIDIA posts 106% revenue growth, runs at 75% gross margin, and can only fill 70% of AI chip demand through at least fiscal 2028.

AMD and Broadcom compete, but NVIDIA's data center alone hit $89 billion in one quarter at 117% growth with zero AMD or Intel comparison.

Jensen Huang guides Q3 to $108 billion with China revenue excluded entirely, while hyperscaler capex hits $800 billion in 2026.

Just released. Our analysts combed the entire stock market and named the ten best stocks to buy right now, and NVIDIA didn't make the cut. Enter your email to see the names that beat NVDA. The report is free. Enter your email and see if any of your stocks made the cut.

I hit the buy button on NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) again last week, and I will almost certainly do it again next month. The China headlines keep coming. The tech sector keeps wobbling. I keep buying. That is conviction. It is what happens when a company you own posts 105.85% year-over-year revenue growth and the market still argues about whether the story is real.

The core reason is simple: NVIDIA sells the machines that make artificial intelligence work, and those machines are still supply-constrained. On the last earnings call, management said flatly that "at this moment, we have supply for 70%" of demand, and that the constraint runs "at least through the end of fiscal year 28." When a company grows revenue triple digits and tells you the ceiling is its own factories, not its customers, I want to own more of it.

First, the profitability. Non-GAAP gross margin came in at 75.0% last quarter, operating margin at 60.38%, and net margin at 55.60%. Return on equity is 101.5% and return on invested capital is 92.2%. Those are platform-caliber ratios, well above what a commoditized parts maker posts.

Why Didn't NVDA Make The Top 10 List?

Second, the balance sheet and the buyback. Debt-to-equity sits at 0.073, interest coverage at 503x. Q2 free cash flow was $21.341 billion. The company returned $26.0 billion to shareholders in the quarter, with roughly $99.0 billion left on the repurchase authorization. The token dividend of $0.25 is beside the point. This is a compounder that shrinks its share count.

Third, the trajectory. Analysts now model fiscal 2028 EPS at an average of 15.6826, up from 12.6737 ninety days ago, with 42 upward revisions and zero downward revisions in the last thirty days. Against that, a P/E of 45 stops looking rich.

I have looked at Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), and Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO). Intel is now a partner: NVIDIA disclosed custom co-developed products via NVLink with Intel. AMD and Broadcom compete, but NVIDIA's data center segment alone did $89.023 billion in a single quarter at 117% growth, and networking inside that number grew 138%. The CUDA install base, purchase orders from "every major hyperscaler, AI cloud, and system OEM" for Vera Rubin, and the $40 billion per gigawatt revenue opportunity Vera Rubin unlocks (up from $25 billion on Blackwell) are what my money is buying. I would rather own the platform than the challenger.

Two things could hurt. China is already zeroed out: forward guidance excludes any China data center compute revenue, and Hopper into China was less than 1% of data center revenue last quarter. The bigger risk is on the balance sheet. Supply commitments jumped to $279.00 billion, mostly memory for Vera Rubin, and guarantee obligations are capped at $108.5 billion. If AI demand cools before that inventory turns, margins get ugly. Management's answer is that the compute is fungible and redeployable. With hyperscaler capex projected at nearly $800 billion in 2026 and $1.3 trillion in 2027, I believe them (and it is also why the power, cooling, and networking suppliers behind those data centers keep showing up in our free AI infrastructure report).

Q3 guidance is $108.0 billion with zero China contribution baked in. Jensen Huang put it plainly: "compute is revenue." As long as that sentence keeps proving out one quarter at a time, my buy button stays warm.
