Explosive Nvidia earnings support stock upside
Nvidia's quarter showed first-time pressure from circular financing, where Nvidia invests in customers that buy its chips, and a sharp increase in accounts receivable of more than $22 billion. This caused operating cash flow to diverge materially from operating income and is a warning sign to monitor even though cash flow remains healthy.
Tech earnings growth supports continued upside
The S&P 500 information technology sector is projected to grow earnings 55% in 2026 and nearly 40% the following year, with margin forecasts around 34%. The sector's forward P/E is about 21x, far below the roughly 40x level seen near the 1999/2000 internet bubble top, suggesting the boom is not yet in late-cycle excess.
S&P 500 earnings growth supports upside
S&P 500 earnings are projected to grow about 33% in 2026, and the index forward P/E is around 19.7x, elevated but not absurd compared with the late-1999 level near 25x. The speaker argues investors can stay long broad US equities while the AI boom persists.
Semiconductor earnings growth remains very strong
Within information technology, semiconductor earnings are projected to grow 109% this year and 60% next year, while semiconductor equipment earnings are projected to grow almost 49% next year. This suggests the semiconductor supply chain is still seeing strong revenue and profit expansion, not only multiple expansion.
