Morgan Stanley: AI Infrastructure is Just Beginning, Nvidia is not Cisco
The current AI infrastructure investment frenzy is still in its early stages and has not reached the bubble level of the Internet in 1999. Back then, Cisco's revenue growth rate reached 59%, with a forward P/E ratio as high as 138 times. Currently, Nvidia's P/E ratio is only 30 times, with a revenue growth rate of 90%. Nvidia's significant drop on Friday seems to confirm the arrival of the &#34;Cisco moment.&#34;

The construction of AI infrastructure is just the beginning, as every large-scale enterprise is building infrastructure to develop applications, tools, and services on top of it.
