Jensen Huang is not Steve Jobs. It is way bigger than that! Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia's CEO, and CFO Colette Kress is interim CEO. The Jobs comparison comes naturally, but it undersells what is happening here. When Steve Jobs passed away, $AAPL Apple's structural leadership, moat and scaling path were clear. The next captain inherited a ship whose course was set. $NVDA Nvidia's are not. It is facing the biggest challenge in its leadership from all fronts: Custom ASICs by $AVGO, merchant GPUs by $AMD, Chinese alternatives by Huawei, and numerous AI chip startups with unique architectures such as $CBRS. All while Nvidia's CUDA moat is facing a shake-up with the prevalence of inference and coding agents — factors we anticipated back in 2023. Most AI compute is moving to inference, where CUDA protects less and the entry barriers are lower. Our December 2023 NVDA MSU note flagged three things: lower entry barriers for inference chips, the CUDA moat getting circumvented as the transformer architecture hardens, and AI spreading into every aspect of applications as copilot and automated agents. Apple was a steady ship sailing on a calm ocean, with moderate potential and a tailwind. Nvidia is a speedy Ultra Large Container Vessel sailing on a tumultuous ocean, with storms but also a huge tailwind, where things are changing fast and growing rapidly. That kind of ship needs the captain to stay on board, to adjust and remain adaptive. Jensen is the only one who can do that. Anyone else will only do a worse job. The most ironical outcome can be the most likely outcome. The resignation knocked the stock down as much as 14% intraday before buyers pared the loss to roughly 4%. The dip-buying instinct is already on display. Nvidia may well go woke in the years to come — drifting from the technical obsession that made it fast. In the near term, once the issue settles, people may buy the dip and claim that Jensen doesn't matter that much to the company, while the coming quarters still report stellar earnings. The true damage will only show up years later, because the semiconductor industry is a long game — a much longer game than many laymen, including politicians, understand. We expect that damage to land in product cycles and market share, not in next quarter's report. Full note: Convequity MSU: NVIDIA, Dec 2023

Regarding $NBIS earnings results: To show you how fast they're growing... from Q2 to Q3: Revenue: $582.3M -> $980.8M (+68% QoQ) Adjusted EBITDA: $236.2M -> $465.8M (+97% QoQ) AI cloud adj. EBITDA margin: 49.7% -> 53.2% Net Income: −$190.4M -> −$37.5M ARR has reached $6.4B at the end of Sep. In terms of management commentary: - Since start of Q3, Nebius signed $12B+ of new contracts - Average GPU pricing rose 20%+ sequentially, payback shortened from 22M -> 19M - On Q3 deals, prepayments covered 100% of associated capex, up from 50–60% in Q2 (insane for financing) - Contract value per MW exceeded $25M+ from Q3 up from ~$20M Q2 - 5GW contracted power year end With $10B of committed customer prepayments in 2026 and $17B-$20B in 2027. Now, prepayments and borrowing against existing contracts covers ~75-85% of 2027 capex. On subsidiaries: 1. Avride - 250 autonomous vehicles fleet, over 100,000 passenger rides (with companies like $UBER). Fully driverless robotaxi targeted H1 2027. 2. Toloka - Revenue doubled sequentially 3. Enterprise cloud - Databricks and Datadog selected Neibus. Along with a new agreement with Snowflake. 4. Tavily - Over 3M developers now with $IBM post-training a core partner. 5. ClickHouse - Nothing about new secondary valuations, but we can see valuations growing 6. TokenFactory - Contract value grew 17x sequentially The primary negative I saw was that 2026 guidance is now on the lower end (near ~$3B), due to $MSFT capacity deliveries slipping to Q2 2027. Apparently there was an execution miss with a third party partner DataOne. Temporary generators were retired amid permitting issues before enough $BE fuel cell capacity came online. Capex also increased in 2026 from $20B-$25B to $27B, while revising revenue expectations downward. So near-term unfortunate headwinds kinda reminiscent of AOI earnings; however long term I think Nebius will take care of you. For 2027 outlook: - $12-13 billion revenue, capex of $40-45 billion, pre-tax breakeven by the end of 2027. Very operationally bullish, as seen with prepayments covering capex, GPU premiums increasing. Main downside is near-term execution risk from third parties, causing near-term delays and revenue recognition. Great quarter from Nebius overall.

I disagree, Jensen Huang is practically irreplaceable from $NVDA. And it's like if you took out Elon from $TSLA, the valuation and confidence in the company would collapse. The foresight to bet on CUDA before AI took off, build the Neocloud ecosystem... The move to secure critical supply chain capacity years ahead of demand, and sell rack-scale systems (with CPUs, networking, etc). Turn the ASIC threat into another opportunity by investing in $MRVL, MediaTek, to compete against $AVGO. Bringing them all into Nvidia's NVLink ecosystem... Is absolutely insane foresight. Jensen practically architected both the financial and industrial ecosystem surrounding the current AI trade. Jensen took Nvidia from a startup to a $5T+ company, and the fact he managed to keep growing that with projected FY2028 70% constrained forward growth... at these levels. Is equally as absurd. I normally don't post negative things about companies... but even if you don't see material revenue or roadmap changes in the next 2 years. Ousting the face of the AI trade and a technology visionary might spell disaster for Nvidia long term.
