NVIDIA Valuation & Competitive Landscape: TPU Competition and Blackwell Chip Impact

The Reddit discussion debated NVIDIA’s valuation (undervalued vs overvalued) and competitive threats from TPUs. The analyst report provides context: NVDA’s current price is $176.51 (down 2.08% daily) with a 43.69x P/E ratio—lower than the Reddit’s ~50x estimate [0]. Blackwell chips, highlighted in the discussion for cost-effectiveness, have a ~5x tokens-per-dollar advantage over Google TPU v6e [1]. Google’s dual-track strategy (using both NVIDIA GPUs and TPUs) indicates continued demand for NVIDIA’s products [2].

1. Ecosystem & Cost Advantage
   : NVIDIA’s CUDA platform and Blackwell’s cost-effectiveness create significant barriers to entry for competitors [0].
2. Growth Prospects
   : Analyst consensus target of $250 (+41.6% upside) reflects confidence in Blackwell’s adoption (13k samples shipped in Q3 2025) and AI infrastructure demand [0].
3. Competition Mitigation
   : Google’s ongoing use of NVIDIA GPUs alongside TPUs reduces immediate competitive risk [2].
