Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) inventory has made a exceptional comeback since hitting a 12-month low in early April. Certainly, after rising greater than 50% to succeed in $143, it’s simply 7% off a brand new all-time excessive!
Can the Nvidia share worth push on? Right here’s what the most recent Wall Avenue forecasts say.
Eye-popping numbers
Let’s begin with the full-year earnings expectations. In its final fiscal yr (FY2025), Nvidia’s income rocketed 114% to $130bn, pushed greater by surging information centre demand as tech giants constructed infrastructure to help AI methods.
Earnings per share (EPS) jumped 130% yr on yr to simply beneath $3.
Naturally, because of the legislation of huge numbers, this explosive triple-digit progress can’t stick with it ceaselessly. Consequently, Nvidia’s progress charges are anticipated to reasonable transferring ahead.
Nonetheless, income progress this fiscal yr is predicted to stay very sturdy, at roughly 53%. That may equate to income of about $200bn. EPS is tipped to extend 43% to round $4.30.
For context, in February 2020, Nvidia reported full-year income of slightly below $11bn! So, we’re taking a look at a compound annual progress charge (CAGR) of roughly 62% over this time.
When writing about Nvidia’s progress, I might end most sentences with an exclamation mark! The corporate’s title is partly derived from the Latin phrase ‘invidia’, which implies envy. That’s becoming for a corporation that now dominates AI chips, little question upsetting jealousy in rivals.
Valuation
Based mostly on the EPS forecast above, Nvidia inventory is buying and selling at 33 occasions ahead earnings. That’s not as low-cost because it was in April once I managed to choose up shares at $95 and about 22 occasions ahead earnings.
However neither is it outrageous, for my part, on condition that the corporate’s earnings are anticipated to develop by double digits for not less than the subsequent 5 years. The corporate’s relentless roadmap of recent merchandise ought to help this.
As for the subsequent 12 months, 54 analysts have a worth goal of $172, which is 20% greater than the present stage. It won’t get there, however brokers stay bullish as tech corporations snap up Nvidia’s newest Blackwell racks, which home a number of cutting-edge superchips.
One bull is Financial institution of America securities analyst Vivek Arya, who has a $180 worth goal. He even reckons Nvidia could possibly be classed as a price inventory, on condition that its price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio of slightly below one is cheaper than the general S&P 500.
Additional market alternatives
[Nvidia’s] alternative isn’t just restricted to what we see at present, which is AI. In one other few years, we are going to begin to speak extra about AI, about robotics, about autonomous vehicles, and the corporate’s expertise could be very leverageable into a whole lot of these new markets as properly.

Whether or not Nvidia inventory is value shopping for depends upon how shortly one sees the generative AI revolution increasing to AI brokers and robotics. If each markets take off over the subsequent few years, the corporate’s general alternative ought to develop significantly.
Nevertheless, the agency might properly see falling gross margins as competitors ramps up. It’s additionally shedding its market in China as a consequence of export restrictions, and this leaves the door open to extra revolutionary Chinese language rivals rising.
Personally although, I consider Nvidia inventory will rise additional and remains to be value contemplating.
