Nvidia’s GTC announcements spooked some investors despite fresh enterprise partnerships and a clear product roadmap. Fundamentals remain strong - $96.7B in free cash flow, ROE north of 76%, near-zero net leverage - and recent partner wins (Roche, Samsung, Adobe, CrowdStrike) support an inference-led revenue surge. I recommend a tactical long entry …
