In addition to Buchalter's optimism, Morgan Stanley and Cantor Fitzgerald have also raised their price targets for Nvidia. Morgan Stanley increased its target to $206, while Cantor Fitzgerald boosted its target to $240 [2]. Both firms maintain 'Overweight' ratings, anticipating continued growth, especially in Nvidia's AI and data center businesses.
The Street expects Nvidia to post adjusted EPS of $1.00 on revenue of $45.81 billion for the second quarter. Buchalter's revenue estimate is above the Street's forecast, indicating potential upside in earnings [1].
