Nvidia Draws Sell Rating on 16% Overvaluation as 25% of Next-Year Demand Hinges on Financed Labs

3 articles · Updated · Seeking Alpha · Aug 29

Summary

  • An intrinsic-value model pegs Nvidia shares as 16% overvalued, prompting a Sell rating despite consensus expectations for strong growth.
  • About 25% of next year’s business is tied to labs financed by Nvidia itself, raising concerns that reported demand is being supported by circular financing rather than end-market strength.
  • Fiscal 2028 revenue guidance of 70% growth is also described as supply-constrained, while gross margins are projected to slip to 71%–73% as memory costs rise.
  • Cash flow is trailing reported profits, and contingent liabilities plus customers’ custom chips could weaken future demand and deepen downside if those risks materialize.
