Data centre powers Nvidia's growth story
Nvidia's performance has been dominated by its data centre segment, which accounts for nearly 90% of total revenue (as of second quarter 2025). This segment has been showing remarkable growth, which is expected to continue for the next few years.
Potential challenges on the horizon
The long-term outlook suggests an eventual downcycle in the artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor market. This moderation is expected due to several factors:
- Market saturation of initial infrastructure demands
- Increasing competition from new entrants in the AI chip market
- Cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry
Secondary segments show stable growth
Nvidia's other segments have shown modest but stable growth. The gaming segment reported 16% year-over-year growth in second quarter 2025, while the professional visualisation segment grew by 20%. Both segments are expected to maintain similar growth rates in third quarter, though they remain overshadowed by the dominant data centre segment's performance.

Analyst consensus and price target summary
Nvidia technical analysis
The long-term trend for Nvidia remains up. In the short-to-medium term, we have seen continuation of this trend commencing with a breakout from a triangle-shaped consolidation. The height of the pattern projected from the breakout area suggests a longer-term upside target of $171.70.
The share price is, however, overbought at present. This suggests that traders looking to join the uptrend might prefer to wait for the first pullback from new high territory to look for long entry, provided a pullback (should it occur) does not take the price below trendline support.
