Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock started the week on a not so positive note, dropping 2.5% as rumors of the management reportedly reconsidering the recently announced investment in OpenAI started to circulate.
Nonetheless, artificial intelligence (AI) predicts that the chipmaker’s short-term trajectory remains positive, with another rally likely by the end of the month.
Machine learning algorithm predicts Nvidia stock price
Namely, Finbold’s AI-driven price prediction tool predicts an average NVDA share price target of $196,88 for February 28, 2026, the figure being based on a joint calculation by ChatGPT, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and Claude Sonnet 4.
If realized, the figure will represent a 4.77% jump from NVDA stock’s current price of $187.88.
All three large language models were more or less uniform in their prediction. Specifically, Claude Sonnet 4 forecasts a 5.79% upside with an Nvidia price target of $198.75, while ChatGPT and Gemini see it climbing to $196.30 (+4.23%) and $195.50 (+4.06%), respectively.
Nvidia stock price outlook
In short, AI models are in agreement with the current Wall Street outlook for Nvidia, which remains one of the most popular stocks among analysts and whose average price target for the next 21 months sits at $262.79 as of the time of writing, based on analyst notes within the past three months available on TipRanks.
This suggests that today’s price drop is merely a short-term setback, which inspires confidence now that the potential deal with OpenAI is once again raising concerns in regard to valuation. After all, a $100 billion commitment would amount to roughly 53% of Nvidia’s $187 billion in trailing twelve-month revenue and nearly 89% of its $113 billion EBITDA.
Thus, while the internal pushbacks on the OpenAI investment have introduced a new variable, Nvidia’s pathway is more likely to be shaped less by headline growth narratives and more by execution and reassurance that ambitious moves will not come at the expense of shareholder returns.
