If Nvidia ( NVDA) were to see a downturn in gaming, that would only impact earnings per share by 7% to 9%, Arya pointed out, assuming a 5% decline quarter-over-quarter in this quarter and a 10% decline next quarter, compared to a previous outlook of growth rates of 3% and 9%. Nvidia ( NVDA) shares rose nearly 2.5% to $224.56 in premarket trading on Tuesday. 'We flag these headwinds, but argue investors could be underappreciating other supportive trends including: (1) strength in data center, pro-viz and 2H autos ramp,' Arya wrote in a note to clients, adding that Hopper-based gaming products and restocking inventory could also help. Lastly, crypto customers could be hurt by declines in the price of Ethereum and the change to proof-of-stake, which does not need graphics cards. Arya postulated that European customers could curb demand due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, while Chinese customers could be impacted by Covid-related lockdowns. Nvidia ( NASDAQ: NVDA) shares have sold off recently on concerns over slowing growth, but that appears to be overdone, investment firm Bank of America said.Īnalyst Vivek Arya, who has a buy rating and a $375 price target on Nvidia, notes that the 26% decline year-to-date, including last week's sharp drop, may stem from concerns over its gaming business.
