Ray tracing is a graphics rendering method that allows for the realistic modeling of light effects in computer games. The RTX 30 Series has been industry-defining by making "ray tracing" the new standard for game developers. Gaming center revenues increased 11% Q/Q to $2.76B in Q1’22 and revenues will likely have grown at a similar rate in Q2’22 due to strength in the gaming market and accelerating customer uptake of the GeForce RTX 30 Series GPU. Nvidia gets the bulk of its revenues from gaming and data centers. Nvidia’s gaming revenues increased at an average annual rate of 22% since FY 2017 while its data center revenues soared 86% annually over the same time period, predominantly because of Nvidia’s Mellanox acquisition in 2020 which considerably expanded Nvidia’s presence in the high performance and data center computing markets. Nvidia's total Q1'22 revenues got an 84% bump year-over-year and increased at a 13%-rate Q/Q. Nvidia is set to open its books for the second quarter on Augand the semiconductor firm is likely going to report impressive revenue growth for Q2’22. My stock price target before the split was $1,000 ( Nvidia: A $1,000 Stock Price Is Not As Crazy As It Sounds), which calculates to an adjusted stock price target of $250 post-split (28% upside). While there is no evidence that stock splits produce higher returns post-split, the fact that the stock, at least on paper, looks more affordable could lead to increased buying of Nvidia. Nvidia, post-split, has the same market value as before, $485B, only the number of shares outstanding has increased by the factor of four. If you bought 100 shares of Nvidia at $800 pre-split, you now own 400 shares with a cost base of $200… the total value of an investment position is unaffected by Nvidia’s stock split, in both cases it is $80,000.Ĭompanies execute stock splits to make their shares look more affordable and increase liquidity in the market. Nvidia’s 4:1 stock split has made the stock look cheaper but the fundamentals or the valuation of the firm have not changed. Nvidia also faces a couple of tests and you should watch out for these key levels before buying. My stock price target for Nvidia, adjusted for the stock split, is $250. While stock splits don’t change a firm’s valuation, Nvidia may initiate a new upleg as earnings next month are likely going to be impressive. Nvidia ( NASDAQ: NVDA) executed a 4:1 stock split last week Tuesday.
