Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 58% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 25, 2025
NVIDIA remains a short-term core idea to buy on dips. Even with a brief lull in price strength, its lead in AI chips looks firm after Microsoft-backed Nscale lined up 116,000 GB300 GPUs (~$14B), making future demand clearer. With upbeat mood and a healthy market backdrop, pullbacks toward $183-$187 look appealing, and a close back above recent highs would show strength is returning.
Primary drivers
- A ~$14B Nscale order for 116,000 AI chips shows demand is real and large
- Leader in AI chips with strong price interest from many investors
- Recent pause in price creates a near-term window to buy on dips with control
- Positive investor mood and a clearer view of future orders and revenue
How it played out
NVDA: thesis only partially played out
Lyra published NVDA at $186.25 on 2025-10-25 with 24% expected growth and a $230.94 target. The thesis pointed to demand for artificial intelligence chips, the Nscale order for 116,000 GB300 GPUs, broad investor interest, a pause in price strength, and a positive market backdrop.
Inside the window, NVDA rose to $212.18 on 2025-10-29, a 13.9% peak gain. It stayed below the $230.94 target and never reached it. By 2026-01-23, it ended at $187.67. The thesis partly played out because the stock rose quickly, but the full target missed.
