The AI capex boom will unwind in 2027–2028 as profitability pressures force LLM providers to optimize efficiency, reducing compute demand. NVDA faces additional headwinds from ASIC competition, customer concentration (3 customers = 54% of revenue), and China's pivot to domestic alternatives, making it the primary victim of the capex cycle collapse.
NVIDIA delivered record Q1 FY27 results with $81.6B revenue (up 85% YoY), $58.3B net income (up 211% YoY), and $91B Q2 guidance well above expectations. Data Center revenue surged 92% YoY to $75.2B, gross margins expanded to 74.9%, and the company initiated an $80B buyback while raising dividends 25x, signaling management confidence despite near-term stock underperformance due to already-priced perfection.
NVDA has experienced an insane run driven by FOMO chasing and institutionalization, but the market has already priced in unrealistic growth (80% earnings growth, massive capex acceleration). With weaker momentum at the 7500 technical level and all good news already baked in, a significant correction is imminent.
