Deutsche Bank believes that this year's NVIDIA GTC conference will still focus primarily on "Datacenter," expecting that NVIDIA will discuss the extensive diffusion of AI computation across various Industries, as well as the company's various efforts to expand this ecosystem.
According to the Zhito Finance APP, AI chip giant NVIDIA (NVDA.US) will hold the GTC 2025 conference from March 17 to 21. At this NVIDIA GTC conference, there will be over 1,000 speeches and more than 300 live demonstrations covering fields such as humanoid robotics, Cybersecurity, Medical, and autonomous driving. Deutsche Bank released a Research Report last week, providing an outlook on the upcoming NVIDIA GTC 2025 conference. Deutsche Bank believes that this year's NVIDIA GTC conference will still focus primarily on "Datacenter," expecting that NVIDIA will discuss the extensive diffusion of AI computation across various Industries, as well as the company's various efforts to expand this ecosystem. Deutsche Bank also stated that it expects NVIDIA to launch the Blackwell Ultra GB300 and B300 series GPUs at the GTC conference, and may showcase the next-generation Rubin series.
Deutsche Bank maintained a "Hold" rating on NVIDIA in its Research Report, with a Target Price of $145.
Deutsche Bank expects that, similar to last year, this year's NVIDIA GTC conference will primarily focus on "Datacenter"—this segment currently contributes about 90% of total revenue (a significant increase from 40% three years ago). Overall, it is expected that NVIDIA will discuss the extensive diffusion of AI computation across various Industries and the company's various efforts to expand this ecosystem (GPU/accelerator platform, personal AI supercomputer Project DIGITS, Innovative Solutions and Support NIMs, inference models, Physical AI/robots, etc.). The bank predicts that the main focus of this GTC conference will be the details of upcoming products on the NVIDIA GPU platform roadmap (Blackwell Ultra GB300, Rubin, Rubin-Next, Vera CPU), such as the production timelines for different platforms, some of which seem likely to go live in the next four quarters.
Among these, Deutsche Bank emphasized Blackwell Ultra GB300 and Rubin. Deutsche Bank expects that the GB300 series GPUs will offer higher HBM capacity (expected to increase by more than 50%, utilizing HBM3e 12 high stacking technology), thereby significantly enhancing product performance. These performance improvements are expected to offset higher power consumption, providing an attractive TCO configuration. Deutsche Bank also anticipates that the next-generation GPU platform Rubin is likely to use Taiwan Semiconductor's N3 process and be equipped with HBM4.
Deutsche Bank stated that considering the numerous expected changes in the Rubin roadmap (new process nodes, new CPUs, new HBM, new packaging technologies), the bank expects very impressive performance improvements with each generation of GPU platforms. Additionally, the bank stated that it will also focus on pricing/profit margin trends for the new GPU platforms, as cost conditions may undergo significant changes.
In terms of demand, it appears that the capital expenditure budgets of major computing customers (cloud service providers, consumer Internet companies, enterprises, sovereign entities) have remained strong so far in 2025 (despite concerns about scaling law limitations, efficiency improvements, XPU involvement, etc.). Therefore, Deutsche Bank expects the supply-demand environment to remain favorable for NVIDIA, at least in the short term.
In summary, Deutsche Bank expects NVIDIA to maintain its consistent optimistic tone at this GTC conference, continuing to pave the way for innovation in AI computation. The bank acknowledges that the overall market correction provides an interesting Buy point for NVIDIA's stocks, but the bank prefers to remain on the sidelines until macro volatility is eliminated, while having more confidence in the company's sustainable growth in the coming years.
