Here’s what some of them had to say: Oppenheimer analyst Rick Schafer raised his price target on the stock to $1,100, implying upside of 23%. “Nvidia has transformed from a graphics company to a premier leading AI computing platform company. GPUs were initially used for graphics in video games and film. Given its parallel processing capabilities and thousands of computing cores, GPU are now optimized for deep learning AI algorithms in datacenters.” Piper Sandler hiked its price target to $1,050 from $850, noting: “We view the new architecture as an expansion of the already dominant market positioning of NVDA’s hardware offering. We maintain that NVDA is the leading company in offering the full hardware and software stack to address the decade long transition to accelerated computing and generative AI.” The new price target implies upside of 17.5%. Bank of America reiterated its buy rating and $1,100 price target, naming Nvidia a “top compute pick” following the conference. Blackwell’s pricing should allow Nvidia to sustain mid-70% ****** margins, and adoption of the new chips could be among the fastest in company history given its affordability across various customer bases, analyst Vivek Arya said.

The stock — which is up 80.5% for the year — traded 0.2% lower in premarket trading. — Pia Singh 5:55 a.m.: Broadcom a strong play for ‘2nd wave of AI’, Barclays says Looking for another way to capitalize on the artificial intelligence craze?
