NVIDIA Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
NVIDIA has a Growth Score of A, suggesting that it is primed for growth.
Wall Street analysts maintained their bullish view on the stock, with a recommendation of 1.36 on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), made by 45 brokerage firms. Of these, 37 are Strong Buy and two are Buy. Strong Buy and Buy, respectively, account for 82.22% and 4.44% of all recommendations.
Based on short-term price targets offered by 42 analysts, the average price target for NVIDIA comes to $167.00. The forecasts range from a low of $100.00 to a high of $220.00.
AI to Fuel Growth
NVIDIA is a global leader in the AI chip market, controlling between 80% and 95% of the market, according to Reuters. Its success is largely attributed to its leadership in developing advanced graphics processing units (GPUs), which are unmatched in producing processors that power artificial intelligence systems, including generative AI, the technology backing OpenAI’s ChatGPT that can create text, images and other media. Most analysts believe NVIDIA will become far more valuable in the future due to its dominance in the billion-dollar AI chip market.
NVIDIA is once again poised to redefine the AI landscape with the upcoming launch of its new AI chipset. The mass production is likely to begin as early as next month.
On the last earnings conference call, CEO Jensen Huang said demand for NVIDIA’s Blackwell chip, its latest chip for powering AI servers, "is amazing" and predicted more to come. He expressed confidence in NVIDIA’s future, noting that the company is at the center of what he described as the “next wave” of AI innovations. Huang said, “AI is advancing at light speed as agentic AI and physical AI set the stage for the next wave of AI to revolutionize the largest industries.”
The AI darling offered a bullish revenue outlook for the to-be-reported quarter and optimism about its next-generation AI Blackwell chips. For the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the graphics chipmaker expects revenues of $43 billion, plus or minus 2%. As NVIDIA continues to ride the wave of AI demand, it will continue to grow in the coming year (read: Tech ETFs at the Forefront of the Current Market Rally).
What Does NVDA’s Valuation Say?
NVIDIA is currently trading at a P/E ratio of 31.37, slightly lower than the Semiconductor - General industry average of 31.58. Further, the stock is currently trading at a PEG ratio of 1.27, much lower than the industry average of 2.10. The lower the PEG ratio, the better the value, as investors would pay less for each unit of earnings.
Columbia Semiconductor and Technology ETF (SEMI - Free Report) – NVIDIA exposure: 17.1%
Single-Stock ETFs
Investors seeking to take on more risk could bet on single-stock ETFs with 200% exposure to NVIDIA. These include T-REX 2X Long NVIDIA Daily Target ETF (NVDX - Free Report) and the GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF (NVDL - Free Report) .
Roundhill NVDA WeeklyPay ETF (NVW - Free Report) seeks to provide weekly distributions and calendar week returns, equal to 1.2 times (120%) the calendar week total return of NVIDIA shares.
