Most Investors Overpay for AI Hype. Nvidia Is the Exception.
Nvidia (NVDA) reported a 106% year-over-year revenue increase to $96.2 billion in Q2 2027, driven by AI infrastructure spending. The company's free cash flow reached $69.9 billion, and it returned $46 billion to shareholders. Nvidia's valuation is debated, trading at 25 times fiscal 2027 earnings but 15 times fiscal 2028 estimates. The company faces risks, including supply constraints and customer returns on AI investments.
