# NVDA – Relative valuation (2026-11-11)

**Analyst:** Relative Valuation Analyst  
**Company:** NVIDIA  
**Price used:** $168.89 at Nov 10, 2026, 4:00 PM EST close (not pre-market)  
**Shares:** 24.15B basic shares outstanding (S&P GMI via stockanalysis; not a fully diluted count)  
**Net cash (debt):** $23.61B  
**Computed EV:** $4,055.08B (= price × shares − net cash; may differ slightly from the rounded published EV)

## Method
- Multiples are computed from the same source financials for the ticker and every peer (not the vendor's black-box "Forward PE / Forward PS", which is not always consistent with consensus FY1/FY2 EPS and sales).
- **NTM P/E** and **NTM EV/Sales** use day-weighted NTM = w×FY1 + (1−w)×FY2, with w = days remaining to FY1 period end from 2026-11-11 ÷ 365.25. If FY2 is missing, FY1 is used and labeled as such.
- **EV/EBITDA** is trailing-twelve-month; forward EBITDA consensus is not on the free source.
- **P/FCF** uses consensus FY1 FCF (FY2 FCF is gated). Dropped when FY1 FCF is ≤ 0 or the implied P/FCF exceeds 150x (FCF too small to capitalize).
- **P/E** is dropped when NTM/FY1 EPS is ≤ 0.05 or the multiple exceeds 150x.
- Low / mid / high = peer 25th percentile / median / 75th percentile (linear interpolation, inclusive), applied to the ticker's own NTM EPS, NTM sales, TTM EBITDA, or FY1 FCF. EV multiples are converted to equity as (implied EV + net cash) / basic shares.
- A multiple enters the blended range only if at least three peers have a usable figure and the ticker's own denominator is meaningful.
- 5-year average and range of the ticker's own multiples are **not available** from the provided free source (the stockanalysis "Financial Ratio History" section is present as a heading with no figures in the scrape).

## Peer set
Large-cap / AI semiconductors: AMD is the closest GPU/accelerator peer; AVGO, MRVL, QCOM, ARM and INTC cover the remaining merchant silicon, IP and foundry-customer set. TSM, MU and TXN were left out of the primary set (foundry, memory-cycle and analog respectively).

| Peer | NTM P/E | NTM EV/Sales | EV/EBITDA (TTM) | FY1 P/FCF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **NVDA (subject)** | 11.7x | 6.4x | 20.1x | 21.5x |
| AMD | 31.5x | 9.3x | 75.3x | 123.3x |
| AVGO | 17.1x | 9.2x | 31.0x | 32.2x |
| ARM | 65.7x | 25.5x | 169.1x | 115.6x |
| INTC | 33.2x | 4.5x | 15.9x | n/a |
| QCOM | 17.5x | 4.2x | 18.3x | 22.3x |
| MRVL | 23.2x | 7.6x | 48.0x | 49.3x |

FY1 ends Jan 31, 2027 (w on FY1 = 0.222). Consensus FY1/FY2 non-GAAP EPS 9.32 / 15.93; NTM EPS 14.464. NTM sales $629.95B (FY1 $411.88B, FY2 $692.09B). TTM EBITDA $201.27B. Consensus FY1 FCF $189.85B.

Peer cells marked n/a (and why):
- INTC FY1 P/FCF: FY1 P/FCF 3203.4x dropped (FCF too small / too depressed; cap 150x)

## Implied per-share value
| Multiple | NVDA now | Peer 25th / median / 75th (n) | Implied $/share low / mid / high |
|---|---|---|---|
| NTM P/E | 11.7x | 19.0x / 27.4x / 32.8x (6) | $274.16 / $395.77 / $474.57 |
| NTM EV/Sales | 6.4x | 5.3x / 8.4x / 9.3x (6) | $138.00 / $220.13 / $243.84 |
| EV/EBITDA (TTM) | 20.1x | 21.4x / 39.5x / 68.5x (6) | $179.70 / $330.24 / $571.47 |
| FY1 P/FCF | 21.5x | 32.2x / 49.3x / 115.6x (5) | $253.18 / $387.50 / $908.70 |

## Current multiples vs own history
5-year average and range: **n/a**. The provided stockanalysis statistics scrape includes a “Financial Ratio History” heading with no figures (likely gated). No 5-year P/E, EV/EBITDA, EV/Sales or P/FCF average was invented or taken from another unpaid-login source in time for this run.

## Blended range
Weights: equal-weight average of 4 usable multiples (NTM P/E, NTM EV/Sales, EV/EBITDA (TTM), FY1 P/FCF).

**Low / mid / high: $211.26 / $333.41 / $549.65**  
Vs close $168.89: mid implies +97.4% upside.

## Adjustments and judgment
- NVDA is cheaper than this semiconductor set on NTM P/E (the peer median is lifted by ARM and INTC) and on FY1 P/FCF, and closer to the median on NTM EV/Sales and TTM EV/EBITDA.
- ARM (IP licensing, very high EV/EBITDA and P/E) and INTC (depressed earnings, high NTM P/E, and FY1 P/FCF of several thousand times, which was dropped as meaningless) distort the set in opposite ways. The IQR is still wide.
- Consensus implies a very large FY2 step-up in sales and EPS, so NTM multiples are well below FY1 multiples. If that step-up slips, the NTM P/E “cheapness” shrinks.
- TSM, MU and TXN were not used in the primary set (foundry, memory-cycle, analog).

## Data sources and as-of dates
- Prices: regular-session close Nov 10, 2026, 4:00 PM EST close (not pre-market), from stockanalysis.com pages (S&P Global Market Intelligence), cross-checked in the coordinator input files vs the Yahoo Finance chart API.
