Despite recent institutional and insider share sales signaling caution over NVIDIA’s elevated valuation, the company’s fundamentals remain robust. Surging demand for AI data centers continues to reinforce its dominance in AI chips. Strategic moves—such as a potential $2.1B investment in IREN and a partnership with Corning to boost U.S. optical fiber production—highlight NVIDIA’s ambition to control the full AI infrastructure stack.
