NVIDIA (NVDA) Gets $220 Target on Strong AI Chip Demand, China Deal
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the 10 AI Stocks Making Waves on Wall Street. On August 11, Wells Fargo analyst Aaron Rakers raised the price target on the stock to $220.00 (from $185.00) while maintaining a Overweight rating. The firm believes that the stock is poised for gains ahead. It also stated that it believes that renewed China sales and strong global demand could help push Nvidia higher. Nvidia and AMD have reached an agreement with the US government that will allow them to resume selling certain artificial intelligence chips in China. In exchange, they will give the government 15% of the revenue from those sales. An investment banker in a power suit entering an exclusive board room with a confident stride. The analyst believes that this new arrangement could help Nvidia recover the full $8 billion in quarterly revenue, expecting the recovery to be complete by the company's fiscal fourth quarter in January 2026. Demand from China may grow even further after that point. The analyst also noted how recent trade data supports a stronger outlook for the sector, reflecting higher demand for servers and related technology used in artificial intelligence.

Forget Competitors — Scammers Posing as Your Brand Could Be Your Real Risk
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You might have heard about "Pig Butchering" scams — those elaborate fraud schemes where scammers build emotional trust over time, then convince victims to hand over money to fake investments. While these scams have hit the crypto world hard, with losses totaling over $75 million globally, they're now spilling over into other industries and affecting startups in unexpected ways. What is Sabotage-as-a-Service? Sabotage-as-a-Service is a new, stealthy type of attack aimed at businesses. Unlike flashy cyberattacks, these operations look more like a sudden flood of scam reports, unexplained customer losses or damaging PR crises. Often run from overseas scam centers, these services allow bad actors — even competitors — to quietly undermine your business by impersonating your brand and scamming your customers. What could this look like for your startup? Picture this: your startup launches a product, customers are signing up, then out of nowhere, complaints start piling up. Fake customer service reps reach out to your users, bogus investment offers bearing your brand name circulate online and your support team is overwhelmed. Social media starts calling your company a scam, and negative stories spread fast. If this happens right after a major event like an IPO, the fallout can be devastating. Related: Cyber Attacks Are Inevitable — So Stop Preparing For If One Happens and Start Preparing For When One Will How to spot the signs of corporate 'Pig Butchering' Here's the usual pattern scammers follow: Faking familiarity: They create fake phone lines, social media accounts and websites pretending to be your company. Building trust: Using your tone, logos and sometimes real information from leaked documents, they make customers feel safe. Offering fake deals: They push fake giveaways, investment opportunities or refund offers. Extracting money: Once customers trust them, scammers trick them into sending money or sharing sensitive information. Shifting the blame: When the scam unravels, customers blame your company — not the fraudsters — leading to customer outrage, media backlash and regulatory headaches. What's being done about it? Law enforcement agencies like the FBI and U.S. Secret Service have seized over $225 million linked to these scams. Many operations trace back to scam hubs in Southeast Asia. This crackdown underscores why startups, especially in fintech and tech sectors, need to get serious about protecting themselves. Related: How to Make Sure Your Business Can Handle Cyber Threats What can you do if you think you're being targeted? If you suspect your startup is under attack, here's how to respond: Be upfront: Don't ignore the problem. Communicate honestly with your customers. Don't ignore the problem.
