Is $NVDA still a good buy, even after a +2,000% return in 5 years? In today's video, we'll answer a question from @TechPeeves asking for a deep dive into the stock. Clearly, there are a lot of strong opinions on NVDA. Let me clarify a few common comments that I’m seeing: 1. “You can’t use dividends to value a growth stock.” Again, following the logic of John Burr Williams, a business is worth what you can get out of it—i.e.: dividends—throughout its entire future discounted back to today. In this case, NVDA has substantial value today because it has substantial dividend-paying abilities—both now and in the future. 2. “No one cares about dividends for NVDA.” I agree; now, NVDA pays out 1.3% of its earnings as dividends. That’s meaningless, especially when its stock price goes up 100% in months. However, as stated in the video, the future dividend projection for NVDA IF it can grow earnings at 20% CAGR and starts to payout 70%+ (which it will when it reaches maturity) is $380 billion. Based on the current market value, that’s an 18% yield-on-cost. If you don’t care about current dividends, fine; I don’t, either. But you should care about future ones; they could be massive. 3. “You’re just mad you missed out on NVDA.” People seem to think I’m anti-NVDA here. I’m not. I’m only pointing out that market expectations are roughly equivalent to iPhone-level growth. (20%). If you think it can grow faster than that, then NVDA is still a good value. If you think it can’t do 20%, then it’s overvalued. That’s all; the ultimate decision is yours. I’m just pointing out the expectations today and cautioning that past growth doesn’t indicate that future growth will be as easy. I never said it’s in a bubble or can’t do 20%; you likely know more than I do about that topic. Besides, I own some NVDA as part of my portfolio. Stop saying that I hate it; I don’t. 4. “Valuations are irrelevant.” If that’s the case, you could pay $7 trillion for NVDA, and it wouldn’t be a bad investment. Come on, people. Valuations are difficult, but that doesn’t mean they don’t matter; in the end, valuations are all that matter when it comes to making investments. 5. “You just took a canned growth rate you saw online.” I don’t understand this one. I backed into the 20% growth rate based on the model described in the video; I never even checked the growth rate for NVDA, nor do I check growth rates for any stock. I think they are trash estimates, so I don’t care. I appreciate all of the great back-and-forth. Keep it civil. We’re all on the same team here—just trying to make smarter investment decisions.
