Meta's Chip Procurement and Google's Threat to NVIDIA

Daniel Newman discusses Meta's decision to purchase chips from Google, a move that raises questions about Google's competitive threat to NVIDIA.

• Common Misconception: The prevailing belief is that Google's ability to create a competitive product will significantly harm NVIDIA.
• Newman's Perspective: Newman argues that this view is overly simplistic. He highlights Google's "incredible technology capability" spanning chips, software, and data, which has led to market recognition and a doubling of its market.
• The Reality of Chip Demand: Despite Google's capabilities, the demand for AI chips is so immense that it will not lead to NVIDIA losing business.
  • Projected Investment: An estimated one trillion dollars is expected to be invested in AI infrastructure in the next few years, with this figure potentially reaching one trillion dollars per year by the end of the decade.
  • "All Hands on Deck" Scenario: The demand is so high that "everybody is hands on deck." Google itself is experiencing compute shortages, evidenced by the need to release Gemini 2.5 after issues with Gemini 3 due to insufficient compute power.
  • Conclusion: Both Google and Meta require all the chips they can produce, and NVIDIA will continue to sell and grow at an "incredibly fast pace."

Investment Outlook: Google vs. NVIDIA

The discussion shifts to where the best investment gains are likely to come from within the next six months, specifically between Google and NVIDIA.

• Newman's Previous Stance: Newman admits to being a "huge Google bull" in the past, noting that Google's valuation is "finally appreciated."
• NVIDIA's Investment Case:
  • Market Sentiment: Newman observes significant negative sentiment ("fun") surrounding NVIDIA in the market, including short pieces and concerns about sales to China. He believes these concerns are "mostly wrong."
  • Financial Performance:
    • Projected $300 billion in revenue.
    • Projected 50% net income next year.
    • "Incredible" growth ratio.
  • Valuation: NVIDIA is currently trading at 26 times forward earnings.
  • Newman's Argument: Unless there is evidence of fraud (which Newman states they "don't believe there is"), NVIDIA represents a "great value right now."

Synthesis and Conclusion

The market is experiencing a positive day. While Google possesses significant AI capabilities and Meta is exploring chip procurement from them, the overwhelming demand for AI infrastructure means that NVIDIA is not facing a significant threat to its business. Instead, the market is characterized by a "hands on deck" scenario where all major players, including Google and Meta, need to secure as many chips as possible. From an investment perspective, despite past enthusiasm for Google, Daniel Newman now sees NVIDIA as a particularly attractive opportunity due to its strong financial projections, rapid growth, and a valuation that he believes is undervalued, especially considering the prevailing negative market sentiment which he deems largely unfounded.
