Every $1 Spent On This Nvidia GPU Could Result In Up To $12 In Additional Tech Spending: Analyst

Zinger Key Points
  • Dan Ives thinks Nvidia has “cracked the code” and that the AI industry is still in its 1995 moment.
  • Ives added that for each $1 spent on an Nvidia GPU, there could be an additional spending of up to $12 across the tech ecosystem.

Wedbush's Dan Ives highlighted the potential ripple effect of Nvidia’s highly popular H100 GPU on the wider tech ecosystem.

What Happened: Ives suggested that every dollar spent on an Nvidia Corp NVDA H100 GPU could lead to an additional $10-$12 spending across the tech ecosystem.

"This in our opinion is about the 2nd/3rd/4th derivatives of the AI Revolution now playing out."

Earlier, after Nvidia's fourth-quarter results, Ives said that the "AI party" is just starting. He added that the current AI revolution is a 1995 moment, not a 1999 moment.

"Nvidia and the golden GPUs are the start of the spending wave…not the end," Ives said, adding that the Huang-led company had "essentially cracked the code."

Why It Matters: Ives’ statement comes in the wake of a growing consensus on the accelerating AI revolution. In February, Ives pointed to the better-than-expected Q4 results of mid-cap AI company c3.ai, Inc. as further evidence of this trend.

Earlier, Microsoft Corp. MSFT CEO Satya Nadella underscored the rapid infiltration of AI across sectors, calling the revolution “fast and furious”.

Nvidia’s H100 chip, released in 2023, has been a game-changer in the AI and computing industries, contributing over $1 trillion to the company’s value. The chip’s high demand has led to customers facing up to six-month wait times.

However, ARK Investment Management CEO Cathie Wood has recently raised concerns about a potential market correction in the semiconductor sector due to improvements in the supply chain.

Despite this, AI’s future is expected to have a significant financial impact, with Ark Invest estimating a $28 trillion opportunity in the sector.

Price Action: Nvidia's stock closed 1.1% lower on Friday, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
