Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Came within reach: 91% of the predicted growth at its peak, just short of the target.
The thesis — published June 26, 2026
NVIDIA looks attractive because strong demand for AI data-center gear, high profit margins, and a solid balance sheet make a recovery plausible even though markets are cautious. Recent reports about data centers adopting advanced cooling add to the case for steady infrastructure spending, but short-term price action is weak so timing is cautious.
Primary drivers
- AI data-center hardware continues as the main sales driver
- Cooling-infrastructure reports point to sustained data-center spending
- High profitability and a strong balance sheet reduce downside risk
- Currently cheap price action could enable a rebound if it steadies
How it played out
NVDA: the thesis partially played out
On June 26, Lyra published a short-term recovery thesis for NVDA at $195.21, with expected growth of 22% and a target of $238.16. The thesis pointed to demand for artificial intelligence data-center hardware, cooling infrastructure spending, high profitability, a strong balance sheet, and weak short-term price action that could allow a rebound.
During the window, NVDA rose to a peak of $234.50 on September 4, a gain of 20.1%. It stayed below the $238.16 target, so the target was never reached. The stock ended the window at $224.58 on September 24. The thesis partially played out: the expected rebound came close, but missed the published target.
What happened during the window
On August 10, NVIDIA announced partnerships to establish compute financing platforms for artificial intelligence infrastructure. On August 26, NVIDIA reported second-quarter revenue of $96.2 billion and data-center revenue of $89.0 billion.
