Nvidia stock still has plenty of upside even after its year-to-date rally of 81%, according to a Tuesday note from Goldman Sachs.
The bank raised its Nvidia price target to $1,100 from $1,000, representing potential upside of 22% from current levels.
According to Goldman, Nvidia stock still trades at a relatively attractive valuation compared to its peers given how quickly it is growing and how durable those growth trends look in the coming years.Surat Stock
“We see positive EPS revisions driving another leg up in the stock, especially with NVDA trading at 35x or only a 36% premium to our coverage universe vs. its past 3-year median premium of 160%,” Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari said.
Hari was specifically encouraged by recent comments from the mega-cap tech giants, which suggested on their earnings call that they will be spending even more money on AI infrastructure in 2025, following an elevated year of investment in 2024.

Those investments should power continued revenue and profit growth at Nvidia, especially with its next-generation Blackwell AI chip set to be released later this year. Nvidia will report its earnings results on May 22 after the market close.
“Notable intra-quarter data points that support the view that AI spending is likely to continue beyond 2024 include” commentary from tech-focused companies, Hari said.

And while competition is starting to encroach on Nvidia’s GPU business via AMD’s new chip and in-house chip design from mega-cap tech companies, that won’t be enough to knock down the company, according to Hari.
