According to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, the spending boom on artificial intelligence chips is far from over, with the market projected to surge into the multi-trillion-dollar range over the next half-decade.
Indeed, tech giants and startups alike are racing to secure the processors powering the next wave of artificial intelligence, while countries like China are striving to make their own and establish independency.
Despite Huang’s optimism on AI demand, the company’s stock fell after it reported a tepid third-quarter sales forecast that excluded potential revenue from China.
“A new industrial revolution has started. The AI race is on,” Huang said. “We see $3 trillion to $4 trillion in AI infrastructure spend by the end of the decade.”
Moreover, there seems to be some signs of contradiction to Huang’s statements given the signs of fatigue seen in some AI-focused stocks as well as cautionary remarks from industry experts. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, for instance, has warned recently that investors may be “overexcited” about AI.

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 29
CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWV) is one of the 10 Trending AI Stocks on Wall Street. On August 27, Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Thomas Blakey initiates coverage on the stock with an Overweight rating and a price target of $116.00.
The firm said its bullish on shares of CoreWeave, with their rating backed by the view of a healthy balance between significant AI market opportunity and dynamic execution risks.
“We believe CoreWeave should benefit from secular growth trends in AI, specifically large language model (LLM) training and inference based usage, as an enabling software-driven AI-focused hyperscaler, comfort in near-term demand/supply imbalance, and competitive differentiation. This relatively unique demand and top-line growth setup in coming years creates longer-term customer concentration, financing, and power-related execution risks that we explore in the report.”
