Analysts Mixed On Nvidia’s Future The China ban could be an overhang on Nvidia in the near term. Sell-side analysts are mixed about the GPU chip maker’s fundamentals.
“Nvidia will be fine. Their chips and technology are that good,” co-founder and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management said recently.
He is of the view the negativity is overdone and that the company has “crucially important” products.
Needham analyst Rajvindra Gill said he sees the government’s stance presenting significant headwinds to Nvidia’s business. Citing this, the analyst lowered his data center-related estimates and reduced the price target for Nvidia shares from $185 to $170.
Nvidia closed Friday’s session down 2.08% at $136.47, according to Benzinga Pro data.
