Morgan Stanley Raises Nvidia Price Target
Morgan Stanley has raised its price target on Nvidia (NVDA) to $162 from $152 and kept an “Overweight” rating on the shares. The rating, issued after the company’s Q4 earnings report, highlighted how Nvidia’s revenues were slightly better than the firm previewed. However, gross margins were slightly worse.
Gross margin pressures are largely attributed to the GB200 challenges, but firm checks reveal that the situation is improving. The analyst reiterated Nvidia as a “Top Pick”, stating how export controls remain an idiosyncratic risk, but “otherwise everything improves from here”. Guidance has also been positive for the company, with positive discussions about the high demand for Blackwell products.
Nvidia's AI Trade is Far from Over
Bernstein says that worries that the AI trade is “over” are a little premature, noting that Nvidia’s valuation is becoming increasingly attractive. The company’s de-rating is a little stunning, especially since it coincides with the beginning of a new product cycle (referring to Blackwell Chips).
