Needham Believes Nvidia (NVDA) Won’t Stop Here


Needham analyst Rajvindra Gill maintained a Buy rating on Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) today and set a price target of $350. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $271.34, close to its 52-week high of $285.22.

Gill said:

“This week, we had the opportunity to host an investor meeting with Mr. Ian Buck, GM of and Ms. of IR. We see striking parallels between NVIDIA’s dominance in AI/ ML and the “Wintel” platform during the era of PC computing. In the case of NIVDIA, we think that its unified CUDA platform combined with its proprietary interconnect and comprehensive inference/training software makes it uniquely positioned to capitalize on this next wave of computing. We raise our PT to $350 and increase our FY20 ests based on increased confidence that NVDA will begin to take a larger share of the inference market with its new TensorRT Hyperscaler Platform. We raise our overall data center revenue forecast by $500MM in FY20 to reflect an incremental 1MM servers deployed with GPU-accelerators.”
