Shares of chip makers like Nvidia (
NASDAQ:NVDA
) and Advanced Micro Devices (
NASDAQ:AMD
) have gained quite a lot, driven by the
AI (Artificial Intelligence) boom. While both of these stocks have risen significantly, analysts’ outlook remains positive, and their average price targets suggest considerable upside potential for NVDA and AMD stock from current levels.
With this backdrop, let’s understand what’s in store for Nvidia and AMD shareholders in the future.
Will Nvidia Stock Go Up?
Nvidia stock has gained about 220% year-to-date. Despite this massive growth, analysts’ average price target indicates that it could increase from current levels. Nvidia has benefitted from the advancements in AI. It witnessed solid demand for its accelerated computing and AI platforms, which drove its revenue and share price.
The company’s management remains upbeat and expects the momentum to be sustained in the coming quarters, led by higher demand for its HGX platform. Furthermore, in response to robust demand from cloud service providers and consumer Internet companies, Nvidia is broadening its enterprise product range and concentrating on enhancing its supply chain.
As Nvidia is poised to deliver
solid financials, it has received 38 Buy and one Hold recommendations for a Strong Buy consensus rating. At the same time, these analysts’ average price target of $649.82 implies 38.83% upside potential from current levels.
What is the Future of AMD?
Like Nvidia, AMD is also likely to benefit from the strong demand for and deployment of AI. Investors should note that
AMD’s CEO, Lisa Su, believes that AI presents multibillion-dollar growth opportunities for the company across several verticals.
Thus, to boost its market share, the company has ramped up its investments in AI. Moreover, AMD introduced new Instinct MI300X GPUs (graphics processing units), which will accelerate its growth as it is the world’s most advanced accelerator for generative AI. The MI300 GPUs are scheduled for release in the fourth quarter. In addition to the AI opportunity, a potential recovery in the PC market will add to the positive momentum in AMD stock.
Wall Street analysts are bullish about
AMD stock, given its solid growth prospects. It has received 21 Buys and seven Hold recommendations for a Strong Buy consensus rating. The average analysts’ price target of $137.57 implies 27.02% upside potential from current levels.
Bottom Line
The impressive demand for chips and GPUs (graphics processing units) that power AI systems provides a solid platform for growth for NVDA and AMD stock. Both of these companies are likely to capture a substantial market share in the AI space and deliver solid financials. Despite the substantial increase in the value of these stocks, analysts’ average price target suggests considerable upside potential in their prices from current levels.

Nvidia Shattered Q2 Estimates. The Future Looks Bright
Nvidia reported an astounding 101% increase in revenue year-over-year to $13.5 billion for the second quarter ended July 30, 2023. Adjusted earnings per diluted share increased by a whopping 429% to $2.70, smashing the consensus estimate of $2.08 per share, and Data Center sales grew by 171% due to increased demand from cloud service providers. Meanwhile, its Gaming segment revenue grew by 22% in the quarter.
Also, the personal computer (PC) market is showing signs of recovery, according to market research firm
Canalys, meaning more gaming revenue for Nvidia in the coming quarters.
Owing to the heavy demand for H100 GPUs, Nvidia is working to boost the supply of these GPUs over the next few quarters. Hence, management expects revenue of $16 billion in Q3, driven by this strong demand. If the target is met, that would reflect an impressive 170% increase over the corresponding quarter a year ago.
Each chip currently costs between $25,000 and $40,000. If demand stays strong, it could mean solid, consistent revenue for the company.
Meanwhile,
analysts predict Q3 revenue in the range of $12.2 billion to $19.1 billion, with the consensus coming in at $16 billion. Earnings per share could range from $2.38 to $3.69, according to analysts, with the consensus EPS estimate coming in at $3.32. The company has beat expectations for the past three consecutive quarters, and its next earnings release will be on November 21.
Additionally, Nvidia closed Q2 with a sizeable cash balance of $16.0 billion and $8.46 billion in long-term debt. Its rapid growth in earnings should allow it to pay off the debt quickly. Free
cash flow in the quarter stood at $6.3 billion, a drastic jump from $837 million in the prior quarter. This surplus cash can be used to fund future projects.
Risks and Rewards
Nvidia continues to forge partnerships and collaborations to bolster its market presence and revenue growth potential. For instance, recently, it collaborated with Indian conglomerates Reliance Industries Limited and Tata Group to create AI supercomputers using NVDA's GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip and DGXTM Cloud technology.
This collaboration might ensue AI-led transformations in the manufacturing, consumer, industrial, and telecommunications sectors.
While the rewards seem enticing, there are also risks. According to
Reuters, OpenAI might look into creating its own AI chips to combat the scarcity of expensive AI chips. It may also intend to diversify its supplier base beyond Nvidia. Furthermore, Microsoft (
NASDAQ:
MSFT
) is planning to launch its first AI chip, "Athena," next month during its annual developer conference for the same reasons, according to
The Information.
With rising competition in the AI niche, only time will tell how this tech titan will capitalize on this massive growth while maintaining its dominant position in the
chip market. For now, Citi analyst
Atif Malik is optimistic that Nvidia will be able to sustain its market share of 90% in the AI GPU market for the next two to three years. The analyst rates the stock a Buy, with a target price of $630.
Also, analysts predict that Nvidia's revenue will increase by 99.4% in Fiscal 2024 and by 47.5% in Fiscal 2025.
This month, Goldman Sachs (
NYSE:GS
) included the stock on its Americas Conviction List. Because of its
competitive moat and complex AI models, the bank believes Nvidia will be able to retain its market dominance.
Nvidia trades at 29 times forward earnings. Its third-quarter results and analyst forecasts for future quarters will determine whether this valuation is justified.
Is NVDA Stock a Buy, According to Analysts?
Turning to Wall Street, TipRanks rates NVDA as a Strong Buy, with 38 Buys, one Hold, and no Sell ratings assigned in the past three months. The
average NVDA stock price target of $649.82 implies 38.8% upside potential. The highest price target for the stock stands at $1,100, while the lowest target price is $560.
The Takeaway
Nvidia's revenue has increased from $4.3 billion in Fiscal 2013 to an outstanding $27.0 billion in Fiscal 2023, reflecting the magnitude of its growth. AI, according to experts, is only getting started. Between 2023 and 2030, the global AI market could grow at a compound annual growth rate of 36.8%, reaching $1.345 trillion.
Nvidia's robust market position, diverse product portfolio, and ongoing innovation in AI technologies may help the company maintain or even increase revenue in the coming years. Therefore, I'm not surprised as to why Wall Street is so bullish on the stock.
