Later this year, Nvidia will start shipping its next-generation AI chips, called Blackwell, that some analysts say could kick off another cycle with significant growth for the chipmaker and its partners.

Nvidia’s performance “is going to continue for the next 18-24 months,” Constellation Research founder Ray Wang said on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Monday. “I think it’s a good time to buy the dip.”
