NVIDIA's growth has been bolstered by its strong position in the AI market, particularly with its data center GPUs which are essential for AI workloads. CEO Jensen Huang has highlighted generative AI as a major growth driver, likening it to an "iPhone moment" for the company [oai_citation:3,Nvidia (NVDA) Q1 2024 Earnings: What to Expect | Nasdaq](https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/nvidia-nvda-q1-2024-earnings-what-to-expect). However, despite the bullish outlook, NVIDIA's forward P/E ratio is quite high, around 65, indicating that the stock price already factors in a lot of the expected growth.

Given the current momentum and positive outlook in the AI sector, NVIDIA's stock could potentially break the $1000 mark if the earnings report surpasses expectations and the company provides optimistic guidance for the future. However, the high valuation and recent rapid price increase also suggest that there is considerable risk, and any negative surprises could lead to significant volatility [oai_citation:4,NVIDIA Corporation Common Stock (NVDA) Earnings Report Date | Nasdaq](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/nvda/earnings) [oai_citation:5,Nvidia (NVDA) Q1 2024 Earnings: What to Expect | Nasdaq](https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/nvidia-nvda-q1-2024-earnings-what-to-expect).

For investors, it’s crucial to balance the potential for further gains against the inherent risks of such a high valuation. If you have a high risk tolerance and believe in the long-term potential of NVIDIA’s AI strategy, it might be worth considering a position. Otherwise, it may be prudent to wait and see the results of the earnings report and market reaction before making any investment decisions.
