Base-case assumptions
These are AnalystScope's current base-case valuation inputs. The note under each number explains why that level is considered reasonable for this company; the sensitivity line shows how much fair value moves if that judgment is wrong.
Revenue CAGR (5Y)
24.0%
±2.0% => ±$7/sh
Why this level: This is AnalystScope's base-case growth assumption, not a guarantee. It sits below the latest FY model-base revenue pace (2025.0%), so the model does not extend current strength too far into the outer years. Current company context: Accelerated compute demand remains supported by hyperscaler and enterprise AI build-outs.
Terminal Growth
3.5%
±0.5% => ±$4/sh
Why this level: This is AnalystScope's mature long-run growth assumption, not a perpetual hypergrowth claim. At 3.5%, it sits well below the 24.0% five-year revenue CAGR, so the model steps down from the explicit forecast period to a steadier long-run pace. For NVIDIA Corporation, that means a durable franchise can keep compounding after year five without assuming today's faster growth profile lasts indefinitely.
WACC
9.0%
±0.5% => ∓$4.6/sh
Why this level: This is AnalystScope's base-case cost-of-capital judgment, not a precise CAPM output. It reflects the current rates backdrop, equity risk premium, and the company's balance-sheet posture. Net cash positive
Operating Margin (Year 5)
49.0%
±100 bps => ±$1.9/sh
Why this level: This is AnalystScope's base-case margin view, not a promise of straight-line expansion. It keeps margins strong but below today's model-base operating margin (56.4%), so the model does not treat current conditions as a permanent peak. Margin input smooths mix shifts and launch-related cost swings across the cycle.
How to read the assumptions and sensitivities
These are base-case assumptions used to estimate fair value. They are reasonable model inputs, not reported facts.
Each sensitivity line shows the estimated fair-value-per-share change from a small move in that one input while the other inputs stay fixed.
bps means basis points. 100 bps equals 1.00 percentage point.
WACC sensitivity moves in the opposite direction because a higher discount rate lowers present value, while a lower discount rate raises it.
Scenario workbench
Analyst workbench
This is a private working layer, not the published AnalystScope base case or report view. It keeps the published base case as the anchor, applies bounded changes to the four core valuation inputs, and updates the fair-value estimate immediately.
Saved scenarios currently stay local to this browser for NVDA. Base-case rationale remains in the assumptions section above. Scenario output now reprices the published valuation methods from projected operating anchors when those anchors are available, while keeping market-multiple and capital-structure assumptions anchored to the published AnalystScope framework.

Reported vs durable model base
How to read this
Reported = the latest company-reported figure. Model base = AnalystScope's comparable operating base used for valuation and thesis work. It may include standardization, conservative balance-sheet treatment, working-capital cleanup, and through-cycle adjustments when current reported numbers do not look durable.
This is an analyst model base, not a claim of perfect adjusted truth. Larger gaps can reflect deliberate cyclical or base-case adjustments, not just light accounting cleanup.
Why the model base differs
These adjustments reduce one-off demand and cash-flow distortion, which keeps the NVIDIA thesis focused on durable platform economics rather than peak-cycle noise.
Rows are sorted by largest comparable adjustment first.
| Metric | Model base | Live reported | Variance vs reported | Adjustment size | Why lower / higher? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Revenue (TTM) | $126.5B FY2025 model base | $215.9B Live reported TTM | -$89.4B / -41% | Large analyst adjustment | Model base is lower than live reported because the thesis does not carry the current revenue run-rate straight into the durable operating base. It tempers hyperscaler order lumpiness and near-term digestion risk. |
FCF (TTM) | $68.0B FY2025 model base | $96.7B Live reported TTM | -$28.7B / -30% | Large analyst adjustment | Model base is lower than live reported because cash generation is being smoothed for timing effects rather than taken at face value. It cleans up inventory, receivables, and supplier-timing volatility. |
Net Cash / (Debt) | $21.1B FY2025 model base | $4.8B Live reported balance sheet | +$16.3B / +8% of revenue | Moderate adjustment | Model base is less conservative than the live reported balance-sheet figure because the latest reported balance does not appear fully representative. It nets cash against debt conservatively without assuming excess cash is fully distributable. |
Operating Margin | 56.4% FY2025 model base | 60.4% Live reported margin | -4.0 pts | Moderate adjustment | Model base is lower than live reported because current margin strength is not being treated as a permanent through-cycle outcome. It smooths mix shifts and launch-related cost swings across the cycle. |

Thesis scorecard
Qualitative scorecard of the main thesis dimensions behind the current investment view.
Growth
StrongAI infrastructure demand still supports exceptional top-line momentum.
Profitability
StrongGross margin and cash conversion remain well ahead of peers.
Balance sheet
StrongNet cash positioning supports the current investment cycle.
Valuation
WeakCurrent multiples leave less room for any demand or execution reset.
Execution / Resilience
StrongPlatform leadership and ecosystem lock-in continue to support execution.
Key drivers
Accelerated compute demand remains supported by hyperscaler and enterprise AI build-outs.
Software and ecosystem lock-in reinforce pricing power relative to peers.
Very strong profitability gives management room to absorb supply and product transition cycles.
Key risks
Demand normalization after the current AI capacity cycle could compress expectations quickly.
Customer concentration leaves results sensitive to hyperscaler digestion periods.
Valuation leaves limited room for execution misses or lower multiple support.
What would change our view
Evidence of more durable non-hyperscaler AI demand would strengthen our confidence.
A sharper order digestion period or pricing pressure would likely weaken the rating.
Sustained margin resilience through product transitions would support a more constructive stance.
Near-term catalysts
Datacenter demand commentary and order visibility remain the most immediate stock-moving inputs.
New product transition timing can influence both margin expectations and confidence in the upside case.
Supply-chain normalization could affect delivery cadence and near-term revenue conversion.
What we are watching
Whether hyperscaler demand remains broad enough to avoid a sharper digestion phase.
How pricing holds as customer purchasing patterns mature beyond the first AI build-out wave.
Any change in competitive intensity that narrows ecosystem or margin advantages.
