Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on August 31, 2026 — -3.5% at the close.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 8% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published June 2, 2026
NVIDIA is still a main choice for short-term AI infrastructure exposure because strong demand from data centers, healthy profit margins and a solid balance sheet support the stock even though many investors already own it. Recent macro developments make the price more sensitive to interest-rate news. After a big run-up, the stock looks more attractive near established support than after rapid price jumps.
Primary drivers
- Data-center spending on AI keeps driving revenue growth
- Strong profit margins justify a higher valuation
- A solid balance sheet reduces downside risk
- Uncertain rate outlook means valuation must be cautious
How it played out
NVDA: the 18% growth thesis missed its target
Lyra published NVDA at $228.75 with an expected gain of 18% and a $269.61 target. The thesis pointed to data-center spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure, strong profit margins, and a solid balance sheet. It also noted that uncertainty around interest rates called for caution on valuation.
The stock peaked at $232.01 on June 2, a gain of 1.4%. It stayed below the target throughout the window, so there was no day when the target was reached. NVDA ended the window at $220.78. The published thesis did not play out.
What happened during the window
