As AI technology is at the heart of technology and driving the world's economy in different forms, NVIDIA was once again in the industry spotlight and where the world's attention was gathered at the end of May this year. This paper provides a financial analysis of this company's key figures and a comparison and commentary with its peers, using NVIDIA's fiscal year 2023 as the primary data base. It contributes recommendations for NVIDIA, the leading company, and provides ideas for the development of the related technology industry. Through the comparison of cross-sectional data, NVIDIA presents its internal data in an objective and clear manner, with significant changes in data that are reasonably and comprehensively articulated and well documented. In comparing the company's financials, NVIDIA performs well and has strong and core competitive capabilities. Using the formulas to estimate the stock price and enterprise value, NVIDIA is greatly overvalued. The reasons for this and the potential risks of the company are presented at the end of this paper.
