More Rally Awaits ETFs as Nvidia Hovers Around $2Tn Market Cap?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Nvidia Corp. (NVDA - Free Report) is poised to become the first semiconductor company to reach a $2 trillion valuation, marking an important milestone in its rise as the primary beneficiary of the surge in artificial intelligence-related stocks over the past year. The company's shares logged a 6.4% increase last week, closing at a valuation of $1.97 trillion, briefly surpassing the $2 trillion mark during intraday trading on Friday.
Unlike Apple and Microsoft, which took over two years to transition from a $1 trillion to a $2 trillion valuation, Nvidia is on pace to achieve this feat in less than a year, helped by an AI excitement. Notably, the rally in Nvidia's shares last week followed an impressive earnings report.
Inside Nvidia’s Q4 Earnings
Earnings per share came in at $5.16, easily beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.55 and up a staggering 486% from the year-ago quarter. Revenues skyrocketed 265% year over year to a record $22.1 billion and edged past the consensus mark of $20.31 billion (read: Nvidia ETFs to Tap for More Growth Post Blowout Q4 Earnings).
The company provided guidance that exceeded expectations, driven by increased AI investments from major customers such as Meta Platforms Inc. (META - Free Report) . Nvidia's domination in the market for graphics chips which is needed for computing tasks in AI applications has positioned it favorably in the current environment.
Nvidia Price Target
Based on short-term price targets offered by 38 analysts, the average price target for Nvidia comes to $833.80. The forecasts range from a low of $475.00 to a high of $1,200.00. The average price target represents an increase of 7.36% from the last closing price of $776.63. While Nvidia lacks on value, the stock has upbeat momentum and growth score of A.
Broker Rating
Nvidia currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.20 on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell etc.) made by 40 brokerage firms. The current ABR compares to an ABR of 1.22 a month ago based on 39 recommendations.
Of the 40 recommendations deriving the current ABR, 35 are Strong Buy and two are Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 87.5% and 5% of all recommendations. A month ago, Strong Buy made up 84.62%, while Buy represented 7.69%.

Nvidia Corp.

The company's shares logged a 6.4% increase last week, closing at a valuation of $1.97 trillion, briefly surpassing the $2 trillion mark during intraday trading on Friday.
This solidifies Nvidia's position as the world's fourth-most valuable company, trailing only behind Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), Apple Inc. (AAPL), and Saudi Aramco in terms of market capitalization. However, the stock slumped 2.1% in the past five days and Nvidia is currently sitting on $1.978 trillion of market cap.
Unlike Apple and Microsoft, which took over two years to transition from a $1 trillion to a $2 trillion valuation, Nvidia is on pace to achieve this feat in less than a year, helped by an AI excitement. Notably, the rally in Nvidia's shares last week followed an impressive earnings report.
