A recent Reddit post in the r/stocks community stirred up heated debate, claiming, "NVDA is a meme stock at this point." The Redditor was questioning whether buying NVIDIA at its current valuation is rational. He mentioned the company's financials, barely justifying the price. They also raised skepticism about NVIDIA's assumed monopoly on AI, calling AMD a more reasonable choice for AI-focused investors. The post struck a nerve, igniting discussions about valuation bubbles and comparisons to notorious "meme stocks."
NVIDIA's stock surged over 200% in 2023, fueled by its dominance in AI chips. Currently, its P/E ratio is somewhere around 90, which is far above the S&P 500 average of 25(ish). While this multiple isn't in GME's stratosphere during its peak, it is still clearly within bubble territory by historic standards.
Meme stocks often sport sky-high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios or no earnings at all. Rely on narratives over fundamentals: Sentiment, not profitability, drives valuation. Have a cult-like following: Social media buzz and FOMO (fear of missing out) create massive volatility.
Reddit skeptics warn that NVIDIA's dominance and AI's growth are uncertain, making NVIDIA's future questionable. The skepticism surrounding such high valuations compared to the underlying fundamentals could signal a potential correction ahead.
