**Bull case:**
* Growth genuinely reaccelerated. Revenue up 85% YoY last quarter, third straight quarter of acceleration, and management called Blackwell "the fastest product ramp in company history."
* Its customers are spending *more*, not less. Microsoft, Amazon, and Google all raised their 2026 capex guidance this quarter (\~$175B, \~$220B, \~$200B). Demand isn't slowing.
* Real optionality in physical AI/robotics, a market Nvidia basically owns today...Plus a new CPU line (Vera) it claims is a $200B TAM.
**Bear case:**
* The "acceleration" is bit of an illusion. Sequentially, growth has been flat at \~20% a quarter for a year. A big chunk of last year's "slowdown" was the China H20 export ban.
* Customer concentration is heavy. \~5 hyperscalers are about half of revenue.
* Major customers are building custom chips. Their own words this quarter: OpenAI 10 GW by 2029, Anthropic \~6 GW, Meta 3 GW by 2028, Google (TPU) and Amazon (Trainium) already shipping. Broadcom's custom-chip business is guided from $56B this year to $100B+ next (also taking networking share).
* Nvidia is partly funding its own demand. $18.6B into private AI companies in a single quarter (some of whom buy its chips), and \~$16B of last quarter's "profit" was paper gains on those stakes, not GPU sales.
* Physical AI is too small to matter yet. \~$9B trailing, \~3.6% of revenue, and actually shrinking as a share. Even at 50% growth it'd take \~5 years to become a fifth of the data center business.
I think the biggest question long-term question is if/when custom chips take market share. Physical AI as well I suppose, but the base is so big that it would need to be a huge inflection to make a difference.
