Nvidia's valuation gives too little credit to its expected long-term earnings growth. Its forward P/E-to-growth ratio is 0.28, the lowest since late 2023; the bullish read depends on those growth expectations proving accurate. x.com  x.com 

Rapid revenue growth against forward valuations makes Nvidia and Micron additional calculated risks after the selloff, alongside Meta, Broadcom, IREN, Vistra, Nokia and Oracle. Nvidia grew revenue 106% and guides Q3 to $108B, plus or minus 2%, at 17.5x forward earnings; Micron grew revenue 379% to $54.2B, guides $61.5B next quarter and trades at 5x. The other six retain their growth, contracted-demand or customer-order cases. x.com 

Mastercard may be the only scaled, capital-light network benefiting from AI, with bloated technical debt uniquely addressable by coding tools. Nominal inflation-linked recurring revenues and hardware attach add to the case at low-teens free-cash-flow yields. While payments getting bid in a red market probably signals the rally is over, these traits could mean it is not. x.com 

Nvidia's rising revenue alongside a much lower P/E is getting hard to ignore. Its chart shows quarterly revenue above $80 billion in Q2 2026 while the P/E is around 30x, down from much higher multiples in prior years. x.com 

Low forward earnings multiples across eleven stocks cannot persist indefinitely. Nvidia trades near 17.5x, its lowest in over a decade; Oracle near 15x, its lowest in six years. Uber is at 17x, Broadcom 19x, Vistra 15x, AppLovin 14.5x, TSMC 19x, Forgent Power Solutions 18x, Nokia 19.5x, American Express 17x and Western Digital 14x. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

Mastercard's payment and earnings growth make it more satisfying than ever to own amid Alphabet's and Amazon's post-earnings reactions. Q3 2026 revenue rose 14% to $9.8 billion, adjusted EPS rose 21% to $5.31, and adjusted operating margin was 60.5%. Volume grew 7%, cross-border volume 11%, and $3.8 billion went to shareholders through buybacks and dividends. x.com 

Nvidia looks interesting again because rising earnings estimates have not been reflected in its valuation. FY28 EPS estimates rose about 25% in 60 days while shares stayed roughly flat; it trades below 14 times FY28 earnings with a mid-single-digit free-cash-flow yield. Exponential change is hard to grasp, and it is hard to see Nvidia not winning if the US does, though there is little capital to absorb market wobbles. x.com  x.com 

Nvidia looks anomalously cheap among large semiconductor companies. It has the biggest market cap, the fastest growth and the cheapest valuation, and the market doesn't know what to do with that. x.com 

NVIDIA, Broadcom and Mastercard are the favorite high-margin compounders, in that order, following Peter Lynch's view that higher profit margins make better companies. NVIDIA leads with a 72% net income margin, ahead of Mastercard at 46% and Broadcom at 42%. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

Nvidia's earnings growth has outpaced its share-price gains, challenging the bubble claim. The attached comparison indexes both to 2020 and shows roughly 70x GAAP earnings versus 36x share price through 2026. x.com
