NVIDIA heads into mid-2025 as the market’s purest bet on AI compute, yet its valuation hangs on a complex mix of macro conditions, demand, supply, competition, regulation, and internal execution. Real yields near 2 percent and liquidity swings can add or subtract multiple turns from the stock’s price-to-earnings ratio, while hyperscaler capital-spending plans, still north of a quarter-trillion dollars have the power to nudge data-centre revenue materially with even small adjustments.
At the same time, the supply chain remains fragile: a single hiccup in TSMC’s CoWoS packaging line or a shortfall in high-bandwidth memory could
