Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 65% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published June 18, 2026
NVIDIA is a top short-term AI infrastructure pick because data centers keep buying its chips, networking, and software. A recent large deployment order shows real demand. Financial strength and high profits back the story, but many investors already own the stock, insiders have sold, and short-term price pressure means expectations should be cautious.
Primary drivers
- Strong chip demand from big data-center buildouts
- Large HIVE Digital order shows real customer demand
- High profit margins and a strong balance sheet
- Recent sell-off may allow a tactical rebound opportunity
How it played out
NVDA: rose 13%, but missed the target
Lyra published a short-term thesis at $207.61, with an entry zone of $198 to $208, 20% expected growth, and a $249.13 target. The thesis pointed to strong chip demand from data-center buildouts, a large HIVE Digital order, high profit margins, a strong balance sheet, and the chance of a tactical rebound after a recent sell-off.
The stock peaked at $234.50 on September 4, a 13% gain, but it stayed below the $249.13 target. It ended the window at $213.90 on September 16. The price rose from publication, but the expected 20% gain did not play out. The thesis only partially played out.
What happened during the window
On August 26, NVIDIA reported second-quarter revenue of $96.2 billion, up 18% from the previous quarter and 106% from a year earlier.
