“So now they're trading at about 22, 23 times real, SBC included, GAAP earnings. That's about where the market is trading. Yeah. So now just follow me on this. Software is trading— most software names are trading at a higher multiple than NVIDIA. Yeah, right. NVIDIA is trading about 13 times earnings for 70% growth for the thing that is the most essential thing in AI.”

AISO Market Calls classifies public statements from public sources. A classification such as long thesis, short thesis, or explicit call describes the content of the public statement and does not prove that the speaker actually entered, exited, or held a position. Market performance shown is calculated from public market data around the source publication or timestamp. It is not investment advice.
