Is Nvidia Stock Actually Cheap Right Now? Piper Thinks So
Piper Sandler sees Nvidia as undervalued, but the real question is whether the earnings assumptions hold up.
Nvidia has been the poster child of the AI trade, and now one major Wall Street firm thinks the stock looks cheap. Piper Sandler is making the case that NVDA is undervalued at current levels — bold call for a stock that has already made early believers extraordinarily rich.
But here's the catch: cheap is a relative term. When a stock trades at Nvidia's multiples, the valuation math lives and dies on earnings forecasts. Piper's bullish read only works if the growth assumptions baked into those models actually materialize. Miss on earnings, and that "cheap" label evaporates fast.

This is the core tension every NVDA trader needs to sit with. The AI buildout narrative is still intact — hyperscalers are spending aggressively on data center infrastructure, and Nvidia's chips remain the hardware of choice. That demand picture supports ambitious forward estimates. But estimates are not revenue, and sentiment can swing hard if guidance disappoints.
For active traders, the Piper note is less a buy signal and more a framework check. If you believe in the earnings trajectory — sustained data center growth, Blackwell chip ramp, continued pricing power — then the valuation argument starts to look credible. If you're skeptical that growth can stay this elevated, the stock is anything but cheap no matter what the multiples say.
Bottom line: Nvidia may look attractive on Piper's numbers, but you're essentially betting on the forecast, not just the company. Know what you own and what assumptions you're underwriting before sizing up. Continue reading at Yahoo Finance.
