Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 74% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 18, 2025
NVIDIA is still the go-to name for AI chips. The stock recently fell and may rebound, and trading shows lots more people are buying than usual. With little new company news this week, short-term moves may follow trading behavior. Over the next three months, ongoing AI rollouts and its strong software tools could help shares work back toward prior price ranges, with a clear plan for buying and managing risk.
Primary drivers
- Top maker of chips that power AI worldwide, giving it a strong lead over rivals.
- More buyers than usual after a pullback, hinting at a short-term rebound.
- Its CUDA tools keep developers loyal, making rivals hard to switch to.
- As supply catches up, sales can normalize and the stock can recover.
How it played out
NVDA: rebound fell short of target
Lyra published NVDA at 182.52 on 2025-08-18 with expected growth of 22%. The thesis pointed to NVIDIA's lead in chips for artificial intelligence, heavier buying after a pullback, developer loyalty around CUDA, and supply catching up enough for sales to normalize. It expected the stock to work back toward 222.65 over the short-term window.
Inside the window, NVDA rose but did not reach the target. The peak was 212.18 on 2025-10-29, a 16.2% gain. It never got to 222.65. By 2025-11-16, the stock ended at 190.16. The thesis partly played out because the rebound happened, but the published target was missed.
What happened during the window
On 2025-08-27, NVIDIA reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $46.7 billion and data center revenue of $41.1 billion. On 2025-09-18, NVIDIA announced a $5 billion investment in Intel tied to joint data-center and PC chip development.
