Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 85 days.
The thesis — published February 18, 2026
NVIDIA is the clear short-term leader because companies keep spending on AI hardware. News that NVIDIA is growing in India makes future sales easier to see, and even when a big investor sold shares the stock kept its path. Reports of smaller stake sales may cause short drops, but core demand for GPUs is strong and trading is easy.
Primary drivers
- India deals make near-term demand clearer
- GPU leadership lets NVIDIA keep pricing edge
- Lots of trading volume makes staged buying possible
- Headline-driven selling can create buying chances
