Last year's Nvidia keynote at Computex had Jensen trying to get the audience to have an awkward, AI-generated sing along. The market thought this was great and sent the market cap over $1T.
For this year's keynote, Jensen wandered the stage like he was looking for his cat while rambling about language models. The market thinks this is great and sent the market cap over $3T.
For the second biggest company on Earth, he is a shockingly bad speaker, and completely ill prepared. For some reason, the market loves this guy.
Is it that the market loves him or is it that a CEO's keynote isn't really that big a deal and is mostly an ego-stroking event?
Because I'm guessing what the market actually loves is the new products that are announced.
That's the thing: no new products were announced.
For consumers. They're pushing put giant power hungry gpus for data centers to power LLM.
Most of the valuation is likely consumers hyping the bull run, and speculation about just how much b2b revenue they will get.
They didn't though. Blackwell was announced before this, and there isn't any real specifics besides showing some prototypes. There's some software stuff about improving Pandas and pregenerated LLMs. That's about it.
Dont product announcements usually precede the stock hype?
No, usually it’s buy the hype sell the news.
This weekend I proposed to my girlfriend, here's what it taught me about B2B sales...
I take back what I said in that case.
