SemiAnalysis bullish on Nvidia's H2 performance, Rubin's volume expansion to drive data center business growth.
Independent semiconductor and AI research firm SemiAnalysis has released a report projecting significant growth for Nvidia in the second half of this year. According to its SemiAnalysis Accelerator Model, Nvidia’s data center compute (DC Compute) revenue in the second half of fiscal 2027 (2H FY2027) will exceed the market consensus forecast by 20%.
The Rubin platform, which was previously delayed due to issues related to HBM4, is now expected to see large-scale volume launches in the second half of this year as those problems are resolved and front-end wafer supply capacity improves.
Unlike some sell-side analysts who tend to set conservative earnings forecasts to make it easier for companies to "beat expectations", SemiAnalysis’ projections are based on in-depth research covering the entire supply chain, including materials, wafer manufacturing, components, server OEMs, as well as the latest developments from hyperscalers and leading AI labs.
Insights related to Nvidia, as well as AI chip firms including Broadcom, AMD, MediaTek, and Marvell, are integrated into its Accelerator Model and HBM Model.

Standard Chartered recommends overweighing technology and communication services and underweighting consumer staples in the second half of the year.
Standard Chartered has released its H2 2026 Global Market Outlook. For China, given the overall market’s potential for valuation re-rating, the bank has shifted to a more risk-on stance. In allocation recommendations: the technology and communication services sectors remain overweight, primarily driven by rising domestic chip self-sufficiency rates and the continued advancement of AI commercialization; the healthcare sector has been downgraded to neutral due to limited earnings visibility; the consumer staples sector has also been cut to underweight for similar reasons; the utilities sector, meanwhile, has been upgraded to neutral, benefiting from improved power demand and policy support. Globally, in H2 2026, investors will need to navigate volatile dynamics including energy prices, stock supply, investor positioning and central bank policies. Standard Chartered projects that in an environment of a macroeconomic soft landing, risk assets will continue to receive support.
