According to Citi Bank’s revised price prediction, Nvidia could reach the $150 mark in the short term. That’s an uptick and return on investment (ROI) of approximately 15% from its current price of $131. Therefore, if the forecast is accurate, an investment of $1,000 could turn into $1,150 in the near term.
“We estimate Nvidia GPU compute sales to grow 118% and 84% year-over-year in calendar years 2024 and 2025, respectively, with hyperscaler sales increasing 100% and 67% during the same period,” Malik noted. Investors are already taking entry positions in Nvidia during the dip as its price could be higher in the next 12 months.
