NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is one of the top stocks that Grok recommended. On July 30, Morgan Stanley upgraded the price target on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) from $170 to $200, keeping its Overweight rating on the stock. Joseph Moore from Morgan Stanley reiterated his rating on NVDA with a price increase as the analyst sees further gains in the coming months, driven by the AI strength, as the supply and demand continue to soar.
