$NVDA - ANALYST RAISES NVIDIA TARGET TO $275 ON AI DEMAND SURGE
Susquehanna analyst Christopher Rolland raised his price target on NVIDIA to $275 from $250, keeping a Positive rating ahead of the company’s May 20 earnings report.
Rolland expects stronger results and guidance as demand for NVIDIA’s AI chips continues to surge. He said major cloud companies are sharply increasing spending on AI infrastructure, while NVIDIA’s Blackwell and Rubin platforms could generate around $1 trillion in revenue by 2027.
The analyst also highlighted strong growth in AI networking and gaming GPUs, though he warned profit margins could face pressure later as Rubin launches. Despite China export restrictions, he said NVIDIA still has one of the biggest long-term growth opportunities in tech.
