Saira Malik, chief investment officer at Nuveen Asset Management LLC, echoed Eisman's sentiments, stating that Nvidia will continue to benefit from the growing demand for AI. She noted that anyone wanting to transition into AI would need to use Nvidia's products. Despite trading at a premium of about 50% to the Nasdaq 100 Index, Malik argued that Nvidia's stock is not expensive when compared to its peers. Both Eisman and Malik believe that the company's strong growth rate and dominance in the AI market justify its current valuation.
