The automotive industry stands on the cusp of a transformative era, where autonomous vehicles (AVs) promise to revolutionize transportation. Despite technological advancements in LiDAR, AI, and machine learning, widespread adoption of AVs remains elusive.

Nvidia’s stock has skyrocketed since October 2022, but the stock price has recently experienced a 10% drop. The author believes that NVDA’s trajectory may mirror that of Tesla, which saw a sharp decline after its surge in 2021. This is due to the belief that markets are underestimating the incentive for the “Magnificent Seven” (Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, Tesla, Nvidia) to develop alternatives to NVDA products due to the increased competition. Consumers tend to become captive to certain brands or products, opting for shortcuts due to limited time and resources. However, corporations approach procurement differently. NVDA’s sales are primarily to corporations, and the mindset of corporate procurement personnel is vastly different from that of consumers. Corporations are less likely to become solely dependent on one supplier for critical components, leading to increased competition and risk for NVDA. The author believes that the “Magnificent Seven” will be working on developing their own AI chips to reduce reliance on NVDA and capture profit margins. The author has a bearish outlook on NVDA and suggests caution for investors, especially those who cannot afford to lose money.
