Nvidia Corp (NVDA) is outperforming peers AMD and INTC, with expected FY23 revenue of $58.86 billion, a 118% increase year-on-year. However, production delays at key suppliers TSMC (TSM) and Samsung (SSNLF) in their Arizona and Texas plants may impact Nvidia. These plants may be delayed until after the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Additionally, a U.S. Department of Commerce survey in 2024 on legacy chip sourcing could pose risks for Nvidia's China market. Chinese companies are also developing AI products to circumvent U.S. technology embargoes. NVDA stock has gained over 241% year-to-date, outpacing gains by AMD, INTC, SPY, and QQQ.
