Applied Digital faces significant financial challenges, including negative gross margins, and substantial net losses, necessitating recent capital raises. Despite raising $210 million, including a $160 million private placement involving NVIDIA, concerns about true market demand for AI/HPC services persist. The NVIDIA deal raises questions about demand sustainability, as NVIDIA's vendor financing may indicate oversupply rather than genuine market need.
While everyone else was cheering Nvidia's (NVDA) stock back to new heights this week, I called the top for the stock first thing Monday (August 26th) morning on Chuck Jaffe's MoneyLife show.
One analyst sees “no reason to panic and dump semis,” but “no reason to rush to add on weakness either.”
Nvidia stock is falling after the release of August's jobs numbers from the U.S. Labor Department. The U.S. added 142,000 jobs last month, falling short of Wall Street's already softened target.
Nvidia Corporation's Q3 guidance disappointed due to a delay in the Blackwell AI chip, caused by a mask issue affecting chip yield, not design flaws. Despite the delay, Nvidia's revenue growth remains strong, with a projected 79% y/y growth for Q3 and significant Blackwell revenue expected in Q4. Blackwell's advanced packaging technology is ambitious but proven, and the chip promises substantial AI performance improvements over competitors like AMD's MI300X.

Amid the lackluster performance of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock, Jensen Huang, the CEO of the artificial intelligence (AI) chipmaking titan, has continued to dump his company's shares in the amount that has, with his most recent sale, surpassed $633 million since June this year.
At first sight, Nvidia's earning call contained exceptionally good news, with revenues and earnings coming in at stratospheric levels and above expectations, but the stock fell in the aftermath, down 8% in Thursday's trading. While corporate earnings reports are delivered once a quarter, the work of anticipating what you expect these reports to contain, especially in terms of earnings per share, starts almost immediately after the previous earnings report is delivered. The company's performance over the last three quarters, in particular, have created expectations that no company can meet.
