Nvidia Stock Forecast: Can You Afford to Miss the Next Big Breakout?

Nvidia (NVDA) is once again capturing Wall Street’s attention as its stock edges closer to a new all-time high. After a strong 2% gain on Monday and a powerful rebound in recent weeks, investors are wondering, could a new all-time high record be just days away?

What’s Behind the Recent Surge?

On Monday, Nvidia shares advanced nearly 2% to close at $144.69. The gain extends the company’s strong 2025 performance, with the stock already rising 7.74% year-to-date after over 170% gain in 2024.

The rally began after Nvidia delivered stellar Q1 results in May, reigniting investor optimism. Meanwhile, recent momentum was supported by last week’s GTC Paris event and CEO Jensen Huang’s appearance at France’s Viva Technology conference. “Sovereign AI” took the spotlight during Huang’s recent tour of Europe, as leaders across the region rallied behind the push to develop country-specific AI infrastructure, including data centers, computing power, and tailored software stacks. Overall, Nvidia continues to see strong demand, driven by global markets building out sovereign AI capabilities.

Additionally, the conference spotlighted AI use cases in Europe, especially in automotive and robotics, with BMW (DE:BMW) and Volkswagen (DE:VOW) showcased as key adopters. Nvidia’s focus on established industrial players highlighted its regional strategy beyond startups.

What’s Next for Investors?

Looking ahead, Wall Street analysts maintain a strongly bullish stance on Nvidia. Recently, Oppenheimer’s five-star-rated analyst Rick Schafer reiterated his Buy rating on NVDA stock. Schafer predicts an upside of 21% from the current levels. Schafer believes Nvidia is in the strongest position to lead the AI space, thanks to its full-stack hardware and software solutions.

Earlier, Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon reiterated a Buy rating on Nvidia, projecting a 28% upside. He believes the recent challenges have already been factored into the stock’s valuation, suggesting further gains are possible if Nvidia successfully navigates current restrictions. Rasgon also emphasized that Nvidia’s data center opportunity is “enormous” and still in its early growth phase.

What Is the 12-month Price Target for Nvidia?

According to TipRanks, NVDA stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 35 Buys, four Holds, and one Sell assigned in the last three months. At $172.36, the Nvidia average share price target implies a 19% upside potential.
