Positions:
35 nvda $190 3/20 calls
38 nvda $180 3/20 calls
14 nvda $175 3/20 calls
\-60 nvda $170 5/15 puts (part cash secured part naked)
\*6400 nvda shares (not yolo but nvda position)
My DD:
1: nvda is trading at a historical discount (you are buying a stock with 55% yoy growth with a pe less than Walmart)
Over the last six months, the stock price has essentially gone absolutely nowhere. Meanwhile, the underlying top-line revenue continues to surge toward the $65 billion target. Wall Street is a forward-looking discounting machine. A year ago, traders were paying a massive hype premium for the stock, driving the PE into the 50s.
Over the last six months, NVDA grew into those massive expectations, and because the stock price stayed flat while the actual earnings doubled, nvda valuation has mathematically collapsed, and is currently trading at roughly 38 times forward earnings, a discount compared to the broader tech industry and peers like AMD, which is a generation behind on the tech side. We don’t even need to compare NVDA to AMD, take a look at NVDA vs good old WMT.
WMT is a boomer, defensive staple with single-digit growth, yet it commands a forward multiple of roughly 44x. NVDA is a peerless and monopolistic tech giant projecting nearly 60% top-line growth, yet it is trading at a forward multiple of 38x. This proves the "hype premium" bs narrative is completely gone; the institutional fear of an AI bubble has driven NVDA’s valuation down below defensive retail stocks.
2: The $680 Billion CapEx Supercycle
The media is crying about a future spending slowdown, completely ignoring the fact that hyperscalers are locked in to spend over $600 billion on AI CapEx in 2026. Nvidia is strictly supply-constrained, not demand-constrained. TSMC is aggressively expanding its CoWoS advanced packaging capacity, and every single chip rolling off the line in Q1 is already sold. The hype premium is gone, meaning the hurdle for a massive stock rally is mathematically the lowest it has been in over a year.
3: The Supreme Court Catalyst
This is the macro wildcard the bears are completely ignoring. The SC is currently reviewing the legality of the administration's sweeping tariffs.
During oral arguments, justices across the ideological spectrum expressed heavy skepticism about the president’s broad executive authority to impose these taxes. The SC returns from recess on February 20, and legal analysts expect a decision to drop shortly after. Make no mistake this is a major case that the SC typically take around 110 days to resolve, that falls on 2/20-2/25 period (right around earnings time). If the SC strikes down or even partially limits these IEEPA tariffs, it immediately removes billions of dollars in supply chain costs. This acts as a massive, immediate macroeconomic tailwind for tech hardware—hitting the tape just days before Jensen's earnings call.
My regarded take on all that: The backlog is real. The macro environment is aligning for an options play with asymmetric upside. When Jensen drops Q1 guidance above $70 billion, every algorithm is going to be scrambling to cover. On February 26, I am either ordering a GT3RS or submitting my application at Wendy's to start on 3/20. Lets goooo!
