Nvidia (NVDA) received a Sell rating from Needham analyst Rajvindra Gill today. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $138.01, close to its 52-week low of $124.46.
Gill noted:
“We are downgrading NVIDIA from a and removing our PT of $225. Although the shares have fallen sharply, we believe end demand will deteriorate further in its core markets, gaming (54% of sales) and datacenter (25%) driven by an ongoing deceleration in the Chinese economy. Moreover, NVDA’s P/E multiple of 28x (on our new FY21 est.) is significantly higher than the group’s, owing to its historical growth rate. Based on our ests., we expect gaming and data center to decline this year and look for the GM to decline 500bps to 56% and remain in that range for several quarters. Lastly, we believe the stock’s P/E multiple will witness a “re-rating” that will bring it closer to the overall group at 18-20x. of estimated non-GAAP EPS in FY21, we could see the shares fall to $100 or below.”
