For all of its successes since late 2022, and for all the bullishness for its future, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been struggling since the start of 2025.
Despite starting the year strong with a climb to $149.43 on January 6 for a record close, NVDA shares experienced a strong correction that ensured that they are, with a press time price of $135.53, a mere 0.93% in the year-to-date (YTD).
Given the setup – and given the fact that the semiconductor giant received a rare stock price target downgrade on January 12 – Finbold decided to consult its very own artificial intelligence (AI) forecast tool about how Nvidia might perform in the second half of the month, and where it might stand on February 1 – or rather, where it might close on Friday, January 31.

As it turned out, all five models, upon examining trade signals such as the relative strength index (RSI) and the simple moving average (SMA), proved bullish about the chipmaker’s equity.
The most conservative of the AIs was Claude 3 Opus, which estimated a relatively modest 6.43% rally to $143.50.
Simultaneously, ChatGPT-4o and Grok 2 Vision proved of one mind as both forecasted NVDA would come just short of its already-recorded January highs and climb 7.54% by February 1 to $145.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet continued with the trend of limited optimism as it estimated Nvidia stock would stand at $147.50 – 9.39% above the press time price of $135.53, and ChatGPT-4o was most bullish by far as it forecasted a rally to a new 2025 high at $155 – a full 14.96% upside in less than two weeks.
On average, Finbold’s AI-powered price prediction tool forecasts that NVDA shares will experience an 8.61% rally to $147.2 by February 1, 2025.
Is Nvidia stock losing its luster amidst early 2025 headwinds?
The cautious approach displayed by the artificial intelligence platforms and Wall Street analysts can be explained by a series of headwinds that have affected the world’s biggest semiconductor company.
On the one hand, recent reports indicate internal issues that forced some of the chipmaker’s biggest clients to delay their orders due to ‘glitchy AI chip racks.’
On the other, the Biden administration’s latest semiconductor export restrictions could jeopardize Nvidia’s revenue streams and the possible tariff war of the incoming Trump administration could exacerbate the issue by disrupting supply chains.
