Wall Street Is Screaming to Buy Nvidia Stock Hand Over Fist Right Now. Should You Listen?
Importantly, Nvidia eventually rebounded strongly every time in the past after a steep sell-off. With that in mind, it's probably not surprising that Wall Street is screaming to buy Nvidia stock hand over fist right now. But should you listen?
Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue »
Nine analysts have issued ratings on Nvidia in the second half of April. Eight recommend buying the stock. Raymond James views Nvidia as a "strong buy."
The lone outlier who didn't join in the loud chorus for Nvidia was D.A. Davidson. This financial services company is headquartered far away from Wall Street in Great Falls, Montana. But even D.A. Davidson has a "neutral" recommendation for Nvidia and a price target that reflects an upside potential of 15%.
Yahoo! Finance scores analysts based on the accuracy of their stock ratings and price targets. Guess how many of the top 10 analysts on this scorecard recommend buying Nvidia stock? Pat yourself on the back if your answer was all of them.
The average analysts' 12-month price target for Nvidia is a whopping 58% higher than the current share price. Some top analysts are even more bullish. For example, Cantor Fitzgerald and Rosenblatt both recently came out with a price target of $200, reflecting an upside potential of roughly 92%.
Wall Street's consensus is that Nvidia is a great stock to buy hand over fist right now. Why such enthusiasm? Many analysts remain convinced that Nvidia's growth prospects will continue to be strong.
For example, Raymond James analyst Srini Pajjuri recently wrote to clients that Nvidia's forward price-to-earnings multiple, which was then at 27x, already reflects risks related to exporting H20 GPUs to China. Pajjuri noted that the company's Blackwell GB200 chip shipments are increasing with the new GB300 chips on track to begin shipping in Nvidia's fiscal third quarter. He predicted these factors "should help sustain momentum through the year."
What about worries that Amazon, one of Nvidia's biggest customers, is hitting the pause button on leasing new space for data centers? Sure, Wells Fargo suggested this was happening in a report to its clients. However, Kevin Miller, vice president of global data centers for Amazon Web Services, addressed the issue head-on in a recent LinkedIn post:
Wall Street doesn't appear to be overly concerned about rising competition for Nvidia, either. That's not surprising to me, considering what former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger recently said in an interview with Yahoo! Finance's Brian Sozzi. Gelsinger told Sozzi that it would be very difficult for any rival to knock Nvidia off its perch. He said, "I've always viewed that there's sort of this 10x rule, where if you're not 10x better than the king, you're not going to displace that." No competitor has chips anywhere close to being 10x better than Nvidia's most powerful GPUs.
Should you listen to Wall Street about buying Nvidia stock? Yes and no.
No investor should buy any stock solely because an analyst recommended it. It's always important to do your own research. Your investing goals or risk tolerance could cause you to avoid a stock that Wall Street loves -- and that's OK.
However, I think Wall Street is right about Nvidia. The latest pullback presents a great buying opportunity for long-term investors. When Nvidia has traded at such a discount in the past, it was something worth screaming about.
Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you'll want to hear this.
On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a 'Double Down' stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you're worried you've already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it's too late. And the numbers speak for themselves:
Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you'd have $266,353!*
Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you'd have $38,790!*
Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you'd have $566,035!*
Right now, we're issuing 'Double Down' alerts for three incredible companies, available when you join , and there may not be another chance like this anytime soon.*Stock Advisor returns as of April 21, 2025

Nebraska Republican: Trump's Nvidia and AMD China agreement ‘not a good deal'
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) said Monday evening that President Trump's unusual agreement with major chipmakers Nvidia and AMD to share some of their revenue from chip sales in China is 'not a good deal.' 'We've got to realize we're in an intellectual war, a technology war with China, and we're in an AI [artificial intelligence] competition,' Bacon said during an appearance on NewsNation's 'The Hill' with host Chris Stirewalt. 'Having NVIDIA providing this technology to China is a mistake.' 'I was weary of doing the Chips Act, because that was a $270 billion giveaway to one industry, and now we're seeing some of this stuff's going to China,' the lawmaker, who is not running for reelection and has often criticized Trump and some of his Cabinet members, continued. 'Chris, I oppose it. Taiwan's our friend.' He added, 'We have to help protect them, because they're where most of this high technology is at. I'd like to encourage you coming here, but China getting our chips is not a good deal.' Both Nvidia and AMD reached a deal with the Trump administration to share 15 percent of their revenue generated from sales of advanced AI chips to Beijing to secure their export licenses. AMD will share 15 percent of its revenue from MI308 chip sales, while Nvidia will share the same portion from selling H20 chips in China. The agreement came after Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang met with the president at the White House last week, according to multiple news outlets. The agreement has raised constitutional questions among experts. 'It's bizarre in many respects and pretty troubling because Congress didn't have anything to say about this,' said Gary Hufbauer, a nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. 'It's just the president's own negotiating with the individual companies,' he continued. 'That's not how historically we've done business in this country.' The analysis also comes as Trump signed an executive
