Nvidia stock continued climbing on Tuesday, extending its record-setting rally.<\/p>\n

Shares of the AI chipmaker rose over 2% to hit a new record high of $220.41 in early trading after closing 2% higher at a record $219.44 on Monday.<\/p>\n

However, the chipmaker gave up the gains and was trading in the red at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

The slump was in line with weakness across major indexes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 fell 0.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.8% as investors reacted to stronger-than-expected April consumer inflation data alongside rising oil prices.<\/p>\n

Wall Street analysts continue to raise targets on Nvidia stock<\/h2>\n

Wells Fargo became the latest Wall Street firm to raise its price target on Nvidia, increasing its forecast to $315 from $265 while maintaining a Buy-equivalent Overweight rating.<\/p>\n

The new target implies roughly 44% upside from Monday\u2019s closing price.<\/p>\n

Analyst Aaron Rakers said Nvidia continues benefiting from an environment where demand for AI computing infrastructure significantly exceeds available supply.<\/p>\n

With continued indications pointing to a compute demand greater than supply backdrop, “we think a key factor driving Nvidia\u2019s data-center revenue is the company\u2019s ability to scale gigawatts of AI infrastructure deployed,\u201d Rakers wrote.<\/p>\n

The analyst highlighted Nvidia\u2019s Blackwell AI platform as a major growth driver and said the company\u2019s AI infrastructure pipeline could exceed $1 trillion by 2027.<\/p>\n

Wells Fargo also pointed to additional upside from Nvidia\u2019s broader ecosystem offerings, including next-generation inference systems tied to the company\u2019s future Vera Rubin architecture.<\/p>\n

Susquehanna also lifted its Nvidia price target earlier today, raising it to $275 from $250 while maintaining a Positive rating.<\/p>\n

The firm said it expects stronger-than-anticipated financial results and guidance as Nvidia\u2019s GB300 Blackwell platform ramps production through the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n

Susquehanna increased its long-term data-center forecasts and now expects combined Blackwell and Rubin platform revenue to approach $1 trillion through calendar year 2027, up from prior estimates of $940 billion.<\/p>\n

The firm noted that Nvidia\u2019s Rubin architecture remains on track for a second-half 2026 launch after initial samples were delivered to customers earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The growing bullishness across Wall Street reflects investor confidence that AI infrastructure spending from hyperscalers and enterprises remains in the early stages of a multiyear expansion cycle.<\/p>\n

China concerns remain in focus<\/h2>\n

Despite the bullish momentum, geopolitical risks surrounding China remain an overhang for Nvidia.<\/p>\n

According to media reports, Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang<\/a> was not invited to join US President Donald Trump during the administration\u2019s upcoming trip to Beijing.<\/p>\n

The exclusion could complicate Nvidia\u2019s efforts to expand sales of AI processors in China.<\/p>\n

Nvidia has specifically designed modified H200 chips to comply with US export restrictions while still serving Chinese customers.<\/p>\n

The company remains barred from selling its most advanced AI processors into China under current US trade rules.<\/p>\n

Huang has repeatedly emphasized the strategic importance of the Chinese market, previously estimating that China represents a $50 billion AI infrastructure opportunity growing at roughly 50% annually.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Huang said Nvidia had restarted manufacturing of H200 chips intended for China and had already received customer orders, though the company did not disclose expected revenue contributions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
