Nvidia Stock Price Forecast: Jensen Huang Personally Responds to Market Doubts, Can Nvidia Stock Price Still Rise in the Second Half of 2026?

TradingKey - As of July 16, Eastern Time, Nvidia ( NVDA )'s latest share price stood at $207.4, down 2.4% on the day. Nvidia's share price has been in a continuous correction since June, but stopped its decline and rebounded after entering July, with a cumulative gain of 3.65% in July, indicating that the market still recognizes Nvidia's long-term AI growth thesis.

Jensen Huang Roadshow Crushes Market Concerns

The core driver behind the recent acceleration in Nvidia's stock price rebound is that Jensen Huang and the executive team personally participated in Morgan Stanley's closed-door roadshow, focusing on addressing the market's three major recent concerns about the company.

The first concern is product delays. The market had previously rumored that the next-generation Rubin Ultra architecture might be delayed to 2028 for delivery, raising investor worries about a gap in Nvidia's product iterations. However, Jensen Huang denied this rumor during the roadshow and emphasized that Rubin Ultra is still scheduled to ship on plan. For Nvidia, the stability of its product roadmap is critical, as AI customers' procurement plans, data center construction pacing, and capital expenditure budgets all revolve around Nvidia's GPU architecture iterations. If Rubin Ultra progresses as scheduled, it will help maintain Nvidia's leading edge in the AI training and inference markets.

The second concern is whether cloud service providers' self-developed ASICs will eat into Nvidia's market share. Amazon ( AMZN ), Google ( GOOGL ), Meta ( META) and other major cloud providers are all pushing forward with self-developed AI chips, sparking market worries that these custom chips will erode demand for Nvidia GPUs. However, according to information from Jensen Huang and Morgan Stanley's post-meeting notes, Nvidia believes that ASICs and GPUs do not have a zero-sum relationship. When major AI customers evaluate computing power procurement, the key is not just the price of a single chip, but the cost per token across the entire training and inference workflow. Leveraging its CUDA ecosystem, networking, software stack, system-level optimization, and rapid iteration capabilities, Nvidia can still maintain a comprehensive cost advantage in most commercial scenarios.

The third concern is growth peaking and customer concentration. Nvidia's management broke down three major growth engines: AI labs, traditional hyperscalers, as well as sovereign AI, emerging AI clouds, and the industrial enterprise market. Among them, Microsoft ( MSFT ), Meta, Amazon, and Google remain the core customer base, but sovereign AI and the industrial enterprise market are becoming new growth curves. From a market perspective, if Nvidia's demand relies solely on a few cloud providers, the market will worry about order cycles and capex volatility; however, if demand diffuses to national-level AI infrastructure, AI cloud platforms, and enterprise customers, the company's long-term growth visibility will be much higher.

Financial results show that Nvidia is still in a phase of hyper-growth. In its latest quarter, revenue reached $81.6 billion, up 85% year-on-year; data center revenue reached $75.2 billion, up 92% year-on-year. This indicates that demand for AI chips has not cooled down significantly, and the Blackwell product cycle is still ramping up rapidly. Meanwhile, the company's newly authorized $80 billion share buyback authorization and increased dividend also reinforce the signal management is sending to value investors: Nvidia is not just a growth stock, but also possesses the capability to deliver consistent cash returns.
