In a year dominated by hype surrounding the potential of artificial intelligence, no company has made out better than semiconductor industry leader Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA).
With cutting-edge solutions that have secured a vast majority of compute market share, the Jensen Huang-led venture has managed to accrue gains of 203.57% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis after rallying by 7.74% over the course of the last 30 days.
At press time, NVDA stock was trading at $146.22.

As is the case with any significant move to the upside, worries remain concerning the chipmaker’s high valuation, currently equal to roughly 12% of the United States GDP. The issue isn’t limited to Nvidia — with some analysts harkening back to the dot com crash and warning about a potential AI bubble.
However, a few days from the time of publication, we’ll be able to have a more material overview of NVDA’s prospects — on November 20, the business will release its Q3 2025 earnings report. In-house, they’re optimistic — revenues of $32.5 billion are expected, and analysts seem to be likewise bullish on the stock.
Now, just five days ahead of the earnings call, several highly-rated Wall Street equity analysts from major firms have revised their price targets for Nvidia stock.
Wall Street researchers are bullish on Nvidia — but price targets vary
On November 14, five researchers revised their predictions. HSBC’s Frank Lee was the most bullish — increasing his price target from $145 to $200 and reiterating a previous ‘Buy’ rating.
Lee predicted that the company’s data center momentum will continue rising and that Q3’s revenue and Q4’s guidance will exceed consensus projections. His new projection sees a 36.78% upside from the current NVDA stock price.
Elsewhere, Christopher Rolland of Susquehanna upped his target to $180 from $160. The expert predicted better-than-expected results and guidance as checks around H100/H200 and early Blackwell remain on track. Rolland’s target equates to a 23.1% upside.
In much the same vein, Rich Schafer, a semiconductor equity analyst with Oppenheimer, sees strong demand from cloud service providers and enterprises in the cards for Nvidia. The researcher restated an ‘Outperform’ rating and raised his price target to $175 from $150 —a figure that would see current prices increase by 19.6%.
Raymond James managing director and senior semiconductor analyst Srini Pajjuri maintained a ‘Strong Buy’ rating, while boosting his price forecast from $140 to $170. Although Raymond James expects Nvidia to meet the lower end of estimates across the board, the company stated that any dips in NVDA stock price should be treated as buying opportunities, and that demand will most likely pick up as time goes on.
Finally, Matt Bryson of Wedbush reiterated a ‘Strong Buy’ rating — his new price target is set at $160, up from the prior $138. In a note shared with investors, the researcher noted that the increase was based on increases in revenue projections — as he uses a 36x multiple formula to construct his price targets.
