Nvidia Corporation is a Strong Buy after a 20% selloff, with current sentiment-driven declines presenting a compelling entry point. Even under conservative growth assumptions, NVDA's fair value ranges from $156 to $252 per share, offering significant upside versus current levels. AI infrastructure buildout may slow due to policy and CapEx plateaus, but structural demand remains robust, and long-term growth is intact.

NVIDIA's stronger profitability, higher ROE and robust AI growth outlook make it a more attractive buy-the-dip opportunity than AMD.

One brutal session erased roughly $450 billion from NVIDIA and knocked its CEO down the wealth rankings.
