STOCKS | Bank of America Says Nvidia's Underperformance Has Created a More Attractive Buying Opportunity

What happened

Nvidia's share price has lagged the broader semiconductor sector so far this year, and Bank of America said this should be viewed as a more attractive buying opportunity rather than a risk warning. According to Jin10, analyst Vivek Arya said there are factors that have worried investors, but he argued the market reaction has been excessive. Arya said rising costs for HBM components have fueled concerns about gross margins. He said investors have overstated this pressure while understating Nvidia's pricing power, scale advantages, and about $119 billion in supply-chain commitments

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Bank of America sees Nvidia’s recent share‑price lag as a buying chance, arguing that worries about higher HBM costs and margin pressure are overstated and that the company’s pricing power and scale remain strong.

Proposed

The broader semiconductor sector has been performing better this year, leaving Nvidia’s stock comparatively weaker; this divergence creates a perception of undervaluation if the company can maintain its profit margins despite cost concerns.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Monitor Nvidia’s actual gross‑margin trends as it rolls out new HBM components; if margins hold, the stock may rise toward its peers. Analyst inference
2. Watch the company’s pricing power and ability to pass higher component costs to customers, which could sustain earnings despite cost pressures. Analyst inference
3. Track the execution of Nvidia’s $119 billion supply‑chain commitments, as successful delivery could reinforce confidence in its growth outlook. Analyst inference
