Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has produced jaw-dropping returns in recent years, with the stock price up 1,110% since the start of 2023. With that kind of gain, calling Nvidia undervalued seems ludicrous.

Here are three reasons Nvidia stock is still a bargain for investors considering it now despite trading near its all-time high set in late October 2025.

Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »

1. Nvidia continues to generate high-margin growth

On Feb. 25, Nvidia reported $215.9 billion in fiscal 2026 revenue. For context, Nvidia booked $27 billion in fiscal 2023 revenue -- representing an eightfold jump in three years.

The massive increase illustrates how artificial intelligence (AI) has fundamentally changed Nvidia. Data center growth deserves virtually all the credit, as Nvidia earned $193.7 billion in data center revenue in fiscal 2026, up from $15 billion in fiscal 2023.

Despite being a much larger company, Nvidia's margins are actually higher now than they were a few years ago -- a testament to its pricing power and customer willingness to pay a premium price for performance.

In fiscal 2026, Nvidia achieved 71% gross margins, 60.6% operating margins, and 55.6% net profit margins -- allowing it to rake in a staggering $120.1 billion in net income.

2. Nvidia is relentless about innovation

One of the main arguments against buying Nvidia has been the risk that its margins will decline due to weaker pricing power, lower demand, and competition. But Nvidia continues to prove the doubters wrong, not because it is overcharging for its products and squeezing customers, but because it is delivering massive improvements that justify premium pricing.

In its latest earnings release, Nvidia cited research stating that Blackwell Ultra, which is an upgrade to the initial Blackwell architecture, delivers up to 50 times better performance and 35 times lower costs for agentic AI compared to the Nvidia Hopper platform, which predated Blackwell.

Nvidia's next platform, called Rubin, uses six different chips that achieve even greater performance improvements and cost reductions through what Nvidia calls "extreme codesign." This is basically integrating software and hardware for rack-scale data center applications -- such as designing Nvidia's graphics processing units alongside NVLink switches rather than as separate offerings.

Agentic AI follows generative AI as the next step on Nvidia's AI roadmap. With Nvidia forecasting exponential future growth in physical AI (autonomous vehicles and general robotics), the company should be able to retain its high margins for years to come.

3. Nvidia is raising its stock repurchases

Nvidia's high margins allow it to generate substantial excess cash flow beyond what it needs for its long-term investments, which means Nvidia can freely buy back boatloads of its own stock without impacting its balance sheet or taking dry powder away from innovation.

In fiscal 2026, Nvidia bought back $40.1 billion in stock compared to $33.7 billion in fiscal 2025 and $9.5 billion in fiscal 2024.

Given Nvidia's $4.3 trillion market cap, it's hard for buybacks to make a dent in its share count. But they will add up over time by reducing Nvidia's share count and accelerating earnings-per-share growth.

At 39.9 times fiscal 2026 earnings, Nvidia may not look undervalued. But when factoring in its high margin earnings, runway for future earnings growth, and ability to buy back increasing amounts of stock, Nvidia is arguably a much better value than the S&P 500, which trades at 29.9 times earnings.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
