Market Analysis
U.S. stocks closed higher across all three major indexes on Thursday, lifted by NVIDIA’s powerful guidance. The outlook again confirmed durable demand for AI computing and drove broad gains across technology shares.
NVIDIA shares jumped 8.7%, adding $442 billion in market value. Its outlook topped expectations and its unusual projection for roughly 70% revenue growth in fiscal 2028 signalled that AI-computing demand has not yet peaked, easing near-term worries about an AI bubble and slowing capital expenditure. eToro Global Market Strategist Lale Akoner said the results show that the AI boom has not run out of demand, though delivering that growth is becoming more expensive and increasingly dependent on capital investment.
Morgan Stanley said NVIDIA’s projection for 70% revenue growth next year was well above its 52% forecast and the broader market expectation of about 40%. Analyst Joseph Moore wrote that NVIDIA should continue to raise the ceiling on growth, though the company has warned that shortages of memory components could constrain growth across the industry.
Allianz Investment Management’s Charlie Ripley said NVIDIA’s beat and robust guidance had reignited market enthusiasm, but not every sector participated in the rally. Elevated rates, geopolitical tension and trade frictions remain meaningful headwinds. Earnings from Salesforce and CrowdStrike also helped ease concerns that advanced AI tools could disrupt traditional software businesses, reviving investor interest in software shares.
Attention now shifts to Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s Friday speech at Jackson Hole. Investors will look for clues on the Fed’s assessment of recent inflation data and the U.S. Treasury’s efforts to lower Treasury yields. Two Federal Reserve officials reiterated concerns about the inflation outlook, while initial and continuing jobless claims showed that the U.S. labor market remains stable.
Key Takeaway: NVIDIA’s outlook reignited confidence in AI demand and powered the technology-led advance, but market breadth remained uneven. With inflation, policy signals and funding needs still in focus, investors will look to Warsh’s Jackson Hole remarks for the next macro catalyst.
