Nvidia's stock split will likely cause a retail buying frenzy, with its shares to trade under US$200 for the first time in 16 months. And will Broadcom and Netflix split next?
Nvidia's stock split will likely cause a retail buying frenzy, with its shares to trade under US$200 for the first time in 16 months.
In just over a week, the world's fastest growing mega-cap company, Nvidia will split its stock 10-to-1. So on June 7 Nvidia's $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ shares will be the most affordable they've been in 16 months, while still offering implied forward revenue growth of 90% for 2025. That is compelling and unheard of.
Let me say that in a different way for perspective. Last Friday, May 24, Nvidia shares closed at US$1,064.69 after rising 115% this year. But in nine trading days, on June 10, Nvidia, the fastest-growing mega-cap company, the third biggest company in the world, will trade under US$200 after its stock split.
The last five times Nvidia $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ split its stock, its shares ran up 24% on average to a new high. This is not unique to Nvidia. Other companies that have split their stocks, such as Alphabet, Amazon, and Tesla, have also run up to new share price highs.
Why split? Companies split their stocks to increase retail share ownership. But looking back at history, we know a companies shares tend to see strong returns in the subsequent year post a split.
BoFa analysis found that stocks rose 25% in the 12 months after its split was announced, compared to 12% for the broad S&P500 index. The reason for this is that a split can add strong momentum
So expect savvy investors and traders, to use Nvidia's pre and post-split as an opportunity to buy into the chip industry giant that's backed by hyperscale tech companies. And remember that Nvidia has forward looking revenue growth of 90% for 2025.
Nvidia's growth is not only unrivaled, but it has a market cap of US$2.6 trillion, making it bigger than the entire Australian share market, yet it is not showing signs of slowing down.
Last week in one of my ABC News Radio interviews I mentioned this and that Nvidia's long-term growth story is just getting started;
- Nvidia has 90% market share in the semiconductor industry.
- The majority of its growth is in the data center business. But that pipeline is growing. Nvidia rolled out its more expensive H200 chip this quarter. Imagine what will happen once its new collaborations with healthcare companies start to appear on their balance sheet. It expands the company's revenue breadth and will add diversification to its book.
- Nvidia's biggest clients are Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud have already taken orders of the new chip. Meta $Meta Platforms (META.US)$ declared its intention to spend billions of dollars on 350,000 Nvidia chips ,even though the company isn't a cloud provider.
- Nvidia only just annouced collaborations with health care giants such as GE, J&J and Novo (as we mentioned in our moomoo webinar).
Nvidia's stock split could spur on Broadcom and Netflix
Nvidia's stock split sets a precedent for other tech companies trading with stock prices above $500. In fact, Microsoft $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ and Meta $Meta Platforms (META.US)$ are approaching this threshold and should also be worth watching.
However, Broadcom $Broadcom (AVGO.US)$, Super Micro Computer $Super Micro Computer (SMCI.US)$ ServiceNow $ServiceNow (NOW.US)$, and Netflix $Netflix (NFLX.US)$ are companies BofA thinks could be candidates for splits.
Booking Holdings $Booking Holdings (BKNG.US)$ could be high on the list as well, as one share of the online travel agency goes for more than $3,500. Earlier this year, Booking initiated a dividend, another move seen as shareholder-friendly.
