Nvidia's Blackwell chips are reportedly sold out for the next year, with supply-demand imbalances expected to persist throughout 2025. This tight supply environment supports pricing power and is likely to translate into revenue growth for the coming quarters.
The chip maker's technological leadership has enabled it to control over 90% of the GPU market, supplying critical hardware to tech giants such as Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOGL), Meta (META), and Tesla (TSLA).
Nvidia is at the forefront of addressing the global labor shortage crisis, with 50 million unfilled positions across the manufacturing and logistics sectors. Through a strategic partnership with Hexagon, Nvidia is enabling the development of AEON, an advanced humanoid robot designed for industrial applications.
AEON leverages Nvidia's robotics ecosystem. AI supercomputers train foundation models, while the Omniverse platform provides simulation environments for testing and optimization.
Finally, robotic computers execute the models in real-world applications. This integrated approach accelerates development timelines, with AEON mastering core locomotion skills in just a few weeks.
The humanoid robot addresses critical industry needs, including reality capture, manipulation tasks, part inspection, and complex industrial operations.
And importantly for investors, Nvidia's innovative work in humanoid robotics is just one small piece of the pie. It also offers investors exposure to data centers, high-performance computing, sovereign AI, autonomous vehicles, gaming, and more.
After a pullback in 2025, Nvidia's valuation has reset to decade-long lows relative to projected earnings. Today, the tech stock trades a 33.6x forward earnings, below its 5-year average of 49.2x.
Bernstein maintains an 'Outperform' rating, emphasizing that fears of the AI trade being 'over' are premature. With the global AI industry expected to grow at a 42% compound annual rate over the next decade and Nvidia maintaining its technological moat, Bernstein believes the growth story remains in its infancy.
Out of the 44 analysts covering NVDA stock, 37 recommend 'Strong Buy,' three recommend 'Moderate Buy,' three recommend 'Hold,' and one recommends 'Strong Sell.' The average target price for Nvidia stock is $174, indicating an upside potential of over 20%.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not a futures broker and do not manage any trading accounts other than my own personal account. It is my goal to point out to you potential trading opportunities. However, it is up to you to: (1) decide when and if you want to initiate any trades and (2) determine the size of any trades you may initiate. Any trades I discuss are hypothetical in nature. Here is what the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has said about futures trading (and I agree 100%): Trading commodity futures and options is not for everyone. IT IS A VOLATILE, COMPLEX AND RISKY BUSINESS. Before you invest any money in futures or options contracts, you should consider your financial experience, goals and financial resources, and know how much you can afford to lose above and beyond your initial payment to a broker. You should understand commodity futures and options contracts and your obligations in entering into those contracts. You should understand your exposure to risk and other aspects of trading by thoroughly reviewing the risk disclosure documents your broker is required to give you.

The Unstoppable Growth Of Generative AI (AI Outlook Part 1)
The digital creation of an image using Stable Diffusion. When Tirias Research first forecasted global generative AI demand in 2023, we predicted token output would reach an aggressive 20 trillion tokens, such as a letter, word, or punctuation, by the end of 2024. That estimate was soon overwhelmed, as actual usage surged to a staggering 667 trillion tokens. The latest forecast now expects demand to grow 115x by 2030. Disclosure: My company, Tirias Research, has consulted for IBM, Nvidia, and other companies mentioned in this article. Growth drivers The growth in generative AI usage was more explosive than even the most aggressive forecasts could anticipate. Then, a new demand surge began in September 2024 with the release of ChatGPT-o1, the first widely deployed "reasoning" model. Unlike previous generations, it didn't just answer questions, it reasoned through them, generating more thoughtful, logical, and nuanced responses. Reasoning required far more behind-the-scenes "reasoning tokens" per session, resulting in a drastic increase in token generation. In addition, user engagement skyrocketed. By the end of 2024, the time spent generating content via generative and reasoning AI models had grown by more than 22x compared to the previous year. Overview of conditional computing and model sparsity There was also an unprecedented and accelerating rate of innovation. From the introduction of transformers in 2017 to ChatGPT-1 in 2022 and reasoning models in 2024, the innovation timeline continues to accelerate. Advanced model architectures, such as mixture-of-experts (MoE), enable more efficient reasoning while keeping active parameter use low. Open-source models, such as Meta's Llama series, challenge closed-source dominance by offering lighter, faster alternatives that run locally on laptops and smartphones. And optimizations operational efficiencies, such as sparse attention and conditional computing, are resulting in more efficient models like DeepSeek R1 (introduced in 2025), which originally used only 37 billion active parameters per token compared to Llama's 405 billion or over 1 trillion in some closed models. Token demand by the numbers Tirias Research forecasts continued growth in the number of users, visit frequency, time spent, and AI-generated content. Additionally, with agentic APIs rolling out in 2025, AI agents will start autonomously chaining AI models together, forming thoughts, executing tasks, and collaborating with other services. Human prompting will no longer be the sole driver of AI activity once autonomous agents begin to generate usage on their own. As a result, the annual rate of token generation is expected to skyrocket from 677 trillion in 2024 to 2,092 trillion by the end of 2025 and 77,000 trillion (77 quadrillion) by the end of 2030. Generative AI forecast 2024-2030 Simon Solotko, Senior Analyst at Tirias Research, explains: "The AI ecosystem is under unprecedented pressure. Multimodal capability, user demand, and agentic and multimedia workflows are advancing so quickly that even efficiency gains in compute hardware and software won't be enough to offset the surge in demand." A 2028 snapshot of the forecast demonstrates that the use of AI assistants and agents is likely to be concentrated among a small number of providers. However, on the infrastructure side, AI models accessed via APIs are anticipated to drive a wide range of business and consumer applications by enabling AI capabilities for customer-facing service providers. 2028 forecast estimates of service providers token share and the token production infrastructure The industry may consolidate into a natural monopoly similar to Google's dominance in Internet searches. Being the first to market with ChatGPT and wide brand recognition, OpenAI currently dominates the AI market for AI models and token generation. Whether OpenAI retains its lead remains uncertain. Future Trends Larger models will continue to grow in size and complexity, outpacing hardware improvements. The largest models already exceed the memory of any single accelerator, requiring clusters of GPUs and entire racks to process tasks. However, innovations in distillation and efficiency will aid in scaling down to smaller, more targeted models. The introduction of DeepSeek represented a significant leap in model efficiency, resetting the performance baseline. AI Agents will become pervasive. Industry leaders, such as Nvidia's Jensen Huang and IBM's Arvind Krishna, foresee every employee working with multiple AI agents. Some agents will live in machines, others in virtual spaces, and still others in physical robots. AI agents will also begin to collaborate. AI competition will increase. As models mature, differentiation is no longer just about size or speed; it encompasses a broader range of factors. Services are integrating AI models into workflows, APIs, and interactive applications, pushing toward end-to-end task automation and entertainment. At the same time, cost pressures are forcing every player to adopt cutting-edge techniques for faster training, improved inference, and lower computational cost. This competition goes beyond the enterprise; AI is now shaping geopolitics as countries race to innovate. In addition, AI will continue to evolve. By the end of the decade, AI-generated images and video could overtake text as the primary source of AI-generated content and driver of future compute demand. Much of this content may be created on edge devices. Media content generation, combined with autonomous AI agents and machines, will usher in the next wave of AI. Final Thoughts Unlike past technology adoption curves, generative AI doesn't appear to be slowing. Rapid improvements in both capability and efficiency are accelerating demand. As agentic AI expands beyond human usage, the number of "users" of generative AI will multiply exponentially. I will discuss the rising AI demand for images, video, autonomous agents, and autonomous machines, as well as the global infrastructure requirement and total cost of operation (TCO) of generative AI in future articles.

Dear Tesla Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for June 30
Tesla (TSLA) shares are in focus following reports the electric vehicle maker plans on temporarily suspending production of its Cybertruck and Model Y at its Austin factory. According to Business Insider, the company will pause production on June 30 and will resume it in the following week. TSLA will use that time to perform maintenance on production lines that it believes will help accelerate production in the second half of 2025. 3 ETFs with Dividend Yields of 12% or Higher for Your Income Portfolio Nvidia Is Quickly Approaching a New Record High. Is It Too Late to Buy NVDA Stock? Unusually Active Put Options Signal Long Straddle Opportunity After Zoetis Downgrade Stop Missing Market Moves: Get the FREE Barchart Brief – your midday dose of stock movers, trending sectors, and actionable trade ideas, delivered right to your inbox. Sign Up Now! Including today's price action, Tesla stock is up some 54% versus its year-to-date low set on April 8. While the temporary production shutdown announced sounds concerning at first, it could be a precursor to something positive for TSLA shares. Tesla has framed the pause as part of a broader effort to enhance manufacturing efficiency, which is particularly important for the Cybertruck given it's faced a slower-than-expected production ramp since its launch. Any sign that the EV maker is preparing to increase output, especially for its high-margin vehicles, could boost investor sentiment and revenue expectations for the back half of this year. Together, this could drive the Tesla stock price up further in the months ahead. Despite a notable rally in the EV stock since early April, Cantor Fitzgerald analysts led by Andres Sheppard remain fully convinced that TSLA is not out of juice just yet. Sheppard expects the automaker's expected launch of robotaxi services in Austin this weekend to unlock significant further upside in Tesla shares. Note that the Nasdaq-listed firm plans on rolling out a 'Cybercab' without a steering wheel in 2026 as well. Additionally, the company's work on its Optimus humanoid robot that is scheduled for customer deliveries in 2027 offers another compelling reason to own TSLA stock for the long term, the analyst concluded. Sheppard currently has a $355 price target on Tesla, indicating potential upside of roughly 10%. Other Wall Street analysts have dialed down expectations for Tesla stock in 2025. The consensus rating on TSLA currently sits at 'Hold' only with the mean target of about $292 indicating potential downside of 10% from here.
