Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 36 days.
The thesis — published March 18, 2026
NVIDIA is a very strong business, but right now the short-term balance of risk and reward is unclear. A big licensing deal shows continued demand for AI tasks, but questions about product power and efficiency could make the stock move a lot. Since the price has not dropped enough to remove near-term risk, it is wiser to wait for clearer stabilization before buying.
Primary drivers
- Growing demand for AI computing drives sales
- Large licensing deal expands platform adoption
- Concerns about product power and efficiency raise volatility
- High price means fewer mistakes are tolerated
How it played out
NVDA: 12% target reached in 36 days
Lyra published a cautious short-term thesis at $181.86, with 12% expected growth. The thesis pointed to demand for artificial intelligence computing and a large licensing deal, while warning that power and efficiency concerns could increase volatility. It also said the high price left little room for mistakes.
The stock reached $203.68 in 36 days and later peaked at $236.54 on May 14, a 30.1% gain. It ended the window at $207.41, still above the target. The expected rise played out and was exceeded inside the measurement window.
What happened during the window
On May 20, NVIDIA reported quarterly revenue of $81.6 billion, up 85% from a year earlier, and Data Center revenue of $75.2 billion, up 92%.
