BofA: Nvidia

> Investors are overestimating High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) cost pressures and underestimating NVIDIA's massive pricing power and supply-chain scale (backed by $119 billion in prepurchase commitments).

> While HBM content per rack might increase by ~$0.2–0.3 million moving from Blackwell to Vera Rubin, total rack pricing is expected to rise by $2–3 million (escalating from ~$3–4 million to $6–7 million).

> Gross margins are expected to safely remain in the mid-70% range.

> Hyperscaler custom chips (like Google TPU, Amazon Trainium, Meta MTIA) have existed for years, yet NVDA's GPU revenues have skyrocketed ~700x since 2015.

> NVDA sales to hyperscalers grew 115% Year-over-Year (YoY)—nearly double the overall cloud capex growth. Over the long term, BofA expects NVIDIA to sustain a dominant 65-70%+ share of AI capex.

> While ecosystem investments (~$65 billion) have raised some minor warning flags, BofA estimates these consume less than 35% of its Free Cash Flow (FCF). This leaves substantial capacity for further stock buybacks and dividends.

> The AI data center systems Total Addressable Market (TAM) is expected to rocket to ~$1.7 Trillion by CY30 (up from $273 billion in CY25), representing a 44% CAGR.
