The stock market, as one observes, has been in a positively exuberant mood of late, all thanks to this artificial intelligence business. However, the average chap on the street isn’t quite feeling the benefit. The labor market is being rather sluggish, inflation is nibbling away at purchasing power, and the prospect of owning a home is, for many, a distant dream. One hears grumbling from retailers and restaurateurs about a distinct lack of spending. A most unfortunate state of affairs, really.
While a full-blown recession isn’t yet on the cards, weak job growth and dwindling consumer spending are often the precursors to a bit of economic unpleasantness. However, Nvidia, along with much of the AI sector, seems remarkably insulated from these everyday woes. They rely on those large hyperscalers, AI start-ups, and other substantial organizations to purchase their chips, and the infrastructure buildout that drives this spending shows no sign of slowing. It’s a rather different kettle of fish, you see, when one is dealing with existential technological imperatives rather than impulse purchases of tea cosies.
Artificial intelligence, it appears, is shaping up to be a “winner-take-all” or, at the very least, a “winner-take-most” market. The battle between Alphabet’s Gemini, OpenAI, and Anthropic is particularly engaging. It’s not merely about hardware, naturally, but having adequate computing power is absolutely crucial. The same holds true for Tesla and Alphabet’s autonomous driving endeavors, or any of the companies racing towards that rather ambitious goal of artificial general intelligence. Nvidia’s products are, quite simply, indispensable, and demand continues to outstrip supply. A most enviable position, wouldn’t you agree?
Jensen Huang’s Perspective
Concerns about an AI bubble have occasionally ruffled feathers at Nvidia and amongst its peers, but CEO Jensen Huang has offered a robust defense to the doubters. He argues, with considerable conviction, that AI is not a fleeting fancy, but rather a genuine turning point. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, he rather grandly declared it “The largest infrastructure buildout in human history,” which will lead to innovations and breakthroughs across a vast range of industries. A bold claim, perhaps, but one can’t help but admire the man’s optimism.
The momentum in the AI sector may, of course, eventually falter, and a gap between valuation and fundamentals – that dreaded “bubble” – may develop. However, such a scenario seems unlikely in the immediate future. In the meantime, investors looking to avoid the macroeconomic pressure that is currently troubling retailers, restaurants, and other cyclical stocks could find a most agreeable refuge with the AI chip leader, Nvidia. A most fortunate turn of events, wouldn’t you say?
