Recent research on Nvidia has turned sharply more cautious after the departure of CEO Jensen Huang, yet many firms still see meaningful strengths in the business. For you as an investor, the key point is that Wall Street is now separating Nvidia's core AI position from questions about leadership, governance and financing exposure.
Several firms, including Goldman Sachs, Citi, BofA, BMO Capital and JPMorgan, continue to rate Nvidia positively even after cutting price targets. They point to established AI product roadmaps and long-dated backlogs that underpin their valuation work.
Yorkville Ives and BMO Capital both trimmed targets, to US$225 and US$240 respectively. They still argue that Nvidia's AI chip position and what they view as attractive valuation support constructive long term growth prospects.
Stifel and BofA lowered targets to US$205 and US$280. They emphasize that current concerns are more about the multiple and governance risk than near term fundamentals, which they still frame as supported by demand and capacity plans.
Multiple firms have shifted to more neutral stances, including Bernstein, Evercore ISI, Baird, StoneX, William Blair, Oppenheimer, Truist and Craig Hallum. They often cite key person risk after Huang, succession uncertainty and governance questions.
Evercore ISI cut its target to US$186 from US$465 and Citi reduced an earlier target to US$285 before the resignation headlines. Both flag increased regulatory scrutiny and export control risk, particularly around sales into China and broader APAC.
Truist and Aletheia highlight concerns about culture, legal and policy exposure, and Nvidia's growing financing commitments to neocloud partners. They see this as adding execution risk and providing less visibility on longer term growth.
