NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), the renowned tech company, has emerged as a major winner in the stock market this year, with an awe-inspiring performance fueled by the relentless growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
In light of the ongoing AI frenzy, Stifel analysts led by Ruben Roy hiked the price target for Nvidia’s stock from $225 to $300 on Monday, May 22. The experts believe the chipmaker could be the largest beneficiary of the AI boom going forward.
