Nvidia's trailing P/E ratio is 53 (stock hitting a new high today). Its forward P/E ratio is 38.
A year ago both its trailing and forward P/E were higher. So the stock is relatively a bargain compared to what it was a year ago.
The price implies that revenues and profits are expected to continue to grow.

I wouldn't disagree with this.
