Nvidia (NVDA 1.29%) is one of the most impressive companies we've ever seen. It is dominating the computing hardware realm and has become the primary option to run all of the generative artificial intelligence (AI) workloads that are coming online. However, we're still in the early innings of the buildout, leaving plenty of room for upside for Nvidia. If projections pan out, Nvidia could transform into a massive company that is far larger than nearly every other company. This makes it a golden buying opportunity, but just how large can it get? Nvidia believes AI spending will skyrocket over the next five years Nvidia made a jaw-dropping projection that global data center capital expenditures will reach $3 trillion to $4 trillion annually by 2030. That's a bold call, but what does it mean for Nvidia's stock? For 2025, the company projected global data center spending to be about $600 billion. For fiscal year (FY) 2026, ending Jan. 25, it generated $216 billion in revenue. That equates to a 36% spending share.

Nvidia generated a 54% profit margin in FY 2026, and if it maintains that level, it will deliver $780 billion in profits. If we assign a 30 times trailing earnings multiple to that, we would get a stock that's worth $23.4 trillion. That's an absurdly large company, especially considering Nvidia has a market cap of less than $5 trillion now. However, there is a financial basis behind it if projections go as expected and Nvidia maintains its market share. It also brings up an interesting comparison: the "Magnificent Seven" cohort.

A cargo ship is parked at a berth loading and unloading containers at the Lianyungang Port Container Terminal in Jiangsu Province, China on March 1, 2026. Cfoto | Future Publishing | Getty Images China's factory activity faltered in February as manufacturers paused production and cargo shipment to celebrate an extended holiday, an official survey showed on Wednesday. The official manufacturing purchasing managers index fell to 49 in February, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, missing economists' forecast for 49.1. A reading below 50 indicates contraction, while levels above that threshold signal expansion. That marks a second straight month of contraction. The official PMI had come in at 49.3 in January. The 9-day Lunar New Year holiday saw a pick up in travel, entertainment activities and duty-free shopping, according to preliminary official figures. This year's holiday, that ran from Feb.15 to Feb. 23, was the longest on record as Chinese authorities sought to boost consumer spending. The world's second largest economy has struggled to shake off deflationary pressure since the end of the pandemic, weighed down by a prolonged property downturn and weak job market prospects. Beijing is set to announce a series of economic targets at its parliamentary meeting Thursday. Economists largely expected the policymakers to lower the growth target for this year to a range of 4.5% to 5% down from "around 5%" targeted for the past three years. This is a developing story.

Investor Gary Black of The Future Fund LLC thinks that Alphabet Inc.-backed Waymo's "Ojai" Robotaxi, built with Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd.'s Zeekr, as well as Hyundai's Ioniq 5, can compete with Tesla Inc.'s Robotaxi despite its heavier price tag. Gary Black On Waymo's New Robotaxis In a post on the social media platform X on Sunday, the investor shared in detail his views on Waymo's new Robotaxis. On the Zeekr-built Ojai Robotaxi, Black shared that the vehicle would be fitted with Waymo's 6th-generation AV suite and include over 13 cameras, 4 LiDAR units, and 6 radar sensors. This translates to "a 42% reduction in sensor count vs. the prior 5th-gen Waymo Jaguar I-Pace tech," he said. He also broke down the cost of the 5th and 6th-generation Robotaxis, sharing that the Ojai cost, with the Jaguar Robotaxi costing an estimated $150,000-$200,000 per unit. "The lower cost is a key part of Waymo's push to scale faster and profitably," Black said. Don't Miss: The investor also shared that Waymo would be transitioning to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV, which will cost over $50,000 per unit. "Retail Ioniq 5 prices in the U.S. start around $35K so a $50K total cost aligns with a high-volume fleet/autonomous-ready version," he said. He then shared how, despite Tesla bulls' arguments about the presence of safety monitors in Robotaxis, "a robotaxi that arrives with a safety monitor is by definition supervised," according to consumer perception. The new $GOOGL Waymo Zeekr Ojai robotaxi minivan being manufactured by Geely in China for Waymo outfitted with a 6th-gen Driver suite is estimated to cost $GOOG $75,000 delivered. The Geely-made vehicle has 13 cameras, 4 lidar, and 6 radar, which implies a 42% reduction in sensor… — Gary Black (@garyblack00) March 1, 2026 While Waymo has led the charge in the U.S. autonomous vehicle sector and announced the expansion of its services to four new cities, taking the total number of cities it operates in to ten, Waymo has attracted scrutiny from...
