Baird Raises Price Target for NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) on Upbeat AI Demand
In a recent development, Baird, a prominent financial services firm, has reinforced its positive outlook on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), adjusting its price target upward to $1,050 from the previous $750.
While maintaining an Outperform rating on the stock, the firm cited robust demand for NVIDIA’s artificial intelligence (AI) solutions as a primary driver behind the adjustment.
Baird’s analysis and catalysts
Baird’s research findings underscored the continued strong demand for NVIDIA’s AI solutions, particularly emphasizing accelerating enterprise customer momentum. The forthcoming Blackwell architecture was highlighted as a significant catalyst for a substantial performance boost in NVIDIA’s offerings.
Additionally, the firm anticipates a rise in average selling prices (ASPs) and noted Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) efforts to double its CoWoS (Chip on Wafer on Substrate) capacity, which is expected to enhance supply in the latter half of 2024.
Baird’s analysis indicated that NVIDIA’s GH200 performance surpasses the combined x86 processor and H100, increasing engagements with hyper scalers and high-performance computing (HPC) original design manufacturers (ODMs). The enduring dominance of NVIDIA’s CUDA ecosystem was identified as a significant competitive advantage for the company.
