Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock closed more than 3% in the red on Thursday, November 21, following a strong but ultimately short-lived rally supported by exceptional quarterly results.
The losses coincided with an overall drop in the technology sector, as the NASDAQ and S&P 500 registered their lowest close since September 11 and September 10, respectively.
Unsurprisingly, the pullback is renewing the AI valuation fears that have characterized this month, even though Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has attempted to reassure investors that the semiconductor leader sees “something very different.”
To get an idea of how the market might move in the weeks to come amid all the uncertainty, Finbold consulted OpenAI’s latest large language model, ChatGPT 5, regarding the potential Nvidia stock price target for the end of 2025.
ChatGPT predicts Nvidia price target for the end of 2025
ChatGPT issued a data-driven projection based on current analyst targets, sector momentum, and macro risks. Taking all of the data into account, the algorithm predicted Nvidia would trade at around $220 per share by December 31 in the base-case scenario, with an expected range of $15 in either direction.
According to the forecast, this scenario assumes continued strength in AI and data-center demand but acknowledges potential headwinds, including overblown valuation and a slowdown in hyperscale capital expenditure. While certainly optimistic, this analysis is nonetheless more conservative than the latest Wall Street average of circa $240.
Under a more optimistic scenario, where enterprise and sovereign AI spending greatly accelerates, ChatGPT sees Nvidia reaching and potentially surprising that figure, trading in the $240–$250 range by late 2025.
However, the chatbot also warned that a more bearish environment marked by regulatory or macro pressures could sink the stock back to somewhere between $150 and $180.
Tech stock meltdown
As mentioned, Nvidia’s earnings failed to convince traders that the AI trade still has room to run. After a 5% intraday surge, the stock closed down 3.15% and lost another 2% in overnight trading.
The sell-off spread quickly across the tech sector. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) closed down more than 2%, while Palantir sank 5.85% and extended losses in premarket trading, weighed further down by suspicious insider trading activity.
Gutting the sentiment even further, the crypto market plummeted nearly 10%, with Bitcoin (BTC) sinking as low as $80,000 in the early hours on Friday. The sell-off appears to show that one of the key support sources for AI stocks among retail traders was beginning to waver.
