1. Nvidia’s GPU Advantage
Nvidia builds GPUs, powerful chips designed to handle heavy computing tasks. While they were first used for gaming, GPUs are now critical for AI, scientific research, and data processing.
Bank of America’s five-star-rated analyst Vivek Arya noted that the biggest highlight for Nvidia is its confidence in future demand. The company noted it has strong visibility into at least $500 billion in potential sales from its Blackwell and Rubin chips, along with networking products, through 2025 and 2026.
He added that today’s top AI models still use Nvidia’s Hopper chips, but the next generation is expected to shift to Blackwell, Nvidia’s new chip launching in early 2026. Nvidia believes Blackwell could be 10 to 15 times more powerful, further widening its lead over competitors.
Arya has a Buy rating on NVDA stock with a price target of $275, predicting an upside of 55%.
2. Massive AI Spending Tailwind
Nvidia is a major winner of the global surge in AI spending. As companies and governments pour billions into building AI data centers, Nvidia’s GPUs remain the default choice for training and running advanced AI models. Nvidia is well-positioned to capture a large share of AI investment for years, supporting continued revenue and earnings growth.
Looking ahead, Nvidia expects global data-center capital spending to reach $3 trillion to $4 trillion by 2030, up from about $600 billion in 2025. That implies a fivefold increase over the next five years, a trend that strongly supports Nvidia’s growth outlook. Arya believes U.S. semiconductor companies, led by Nvidia, will benefit significantly from this unprecedented surge in AI infrastructure spending.
3. Easing China Worries
Nvidia could also gain from the U.S. government’s decision to allow sales of its advanced H200 chips to China, even though 25% of the revenue would go to the U.S. Treasury. While approvals are not yet guaranteed, the move could mark an important step toward reopening the Chinese market, which once accounted for roughly 20%–25% of Nvidia’s data-center revenue.
Within this context, Wells Fargo’s top-rated analyst Aaron Rakers estimates the policy shift could add $25 billion to $30 billion in annual revenue. Nvidia also appears to be preparing for this possibility, as the company may be reviewing its H200 production capacity.
Earlier this month, Rakers reiterated his Buy rating on NVDA stock, implying nearly 50% upside.
