Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 33% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published June 3, 2026
NVIDIA runs a leading AI hardware business with very strong profits and a healthy balance sheet. News about rising AI budgets and a strong chip sector helps demand, but many investors are already long and recent price strength isn't fully recovered. The near-term setup looks okay when bought on modest pullbacks.
Primary drivers
- AI hardware demand is the main growth engine for the company
- Overall chip-sector strength makes investors more willing to buy
- High profit margins and a strong balance sheet reduce downside risk
- Current pullback is less extreme than earlier rallies, making it more reasonable
How it played out
NVDA: the 18% target was missed
Lyra published the NVDA thesis on June 3, 2026, at 217.37 and expected 18% growth. The thesis pointed to demand for artificial intelligence hardware, strength across the chip sector, high profit margins, a strong balance sheet, and a pullback that appeared less extreme than earlier rallies.
The price rose to a peak of 230.47 on August 27, a 6% gain. It stayed below the 256.19 target throughout the window. NVDA ended the period at 217.44 on September 1, close to its publication price. The thesis partially played out because the stock rose, but the expected gain did not arrive.
What happened during the window
On August 26, 2026, NVIDIA reported second-quarter revenue of $96.2 billion, up 106% from a year earlier. Data Center revenue was $89.0 billion, up 117%.
