NVIDIA (NVDA)'s Gonna Have a Great Q1, Says Jim Cramer

“If you want to know what’s front and center, it’s Jensen Huang speaking this evening. NVIDIA. And laying out a vision of the next industrial revolution, combination of accelerated computing. And, the, what I regard as being the stack. You’re going to hear a lot more about the stack. And the stack means, we are not a chip, we are software. . .

“I think that that’s something that’s front and center, data center, and reality is that, I think the last few months have been tough on NVIDIA. And maybe we could be in a period where the doubters are done, given the fact that the demand from China for the H200 is off the chart. It’s possible 50 billion. Bytedance buying a huge percentage. All the lies that we’re told about how China is not interested, well those people [inaudible] going to get away with it. . .those who said that China wasn’t interested, well maybe the PRC wasn’t taking them down. But Bytedance will take everything.

“But I would say that NVIDIA is the one to watch because it’s been underperforming in the last month and it’s going to come fast out of the gate. And I think this revolutionary speech, that I expect Jensen to give tonight, is going to quantify why accelerated computing is often left out of the equation.

“You gotta own that, it doesn’t reflect that. I think it’s going to have a great first quarter, the price-to-earnings multiple is going to shrink when you actually see the numbers. . .”
