Analysts Expect NVIDIA Stock to Hit $300 Mark
RBC stands among the bulls as the firm expects a significant upside in the coming days. RBC provided a price target of $301 for NVDA shares with an outperform rating. Its analyst Mitch Steves says NVDA share price is well set to accelerate momentum throughout fiscal 2020 due to strong financial numbers from data center and gaming.
UBS sets a price target of $300 with a Buy rating. Its analyst Timothy Arcuri believes the company is likely to beat earnings estimates. Arcuri said, “Improved earnings growth is likely to be driven by new 7nm products in data center and gaming. The gaming products could re-establish the price/performance gap with AMD.”
Piper Sandler is showing confidence in improving prospects for the entire industry. Its analyst Harsh Kumar claims the declining inventory levels across the industry could allow the industry to grow at 12 per cent this year.
NVIDIA Could Easily Beat Estimates
The market analysts are expecting NVIDIA to top revenue and earnings estimates for the final quarter of 2019. This is because they believe the consensus estimate is quite conservative. The earnings and revenue consensus estimate stands around $1.67 per share and $2.98bn, respectively. The company had previously easily topped estimates for the third quarter of 2019.
