Nvidia (NVDA) stock closed Thursday’s trading session at $180 with an uptick of 1.37%. Leading equity research and brokerage firm Bernstein wrote in a note to clients that NVDA could kick-start a rally. The firm estimated that the tech giant could outperform market expectations after addressing several bearish points in its recent research note. The tech giant delivered phenomenal gains in 2025 as its stock is up more than 30% year-to-date.
The gains come despite a turbulent market where tariffs and trade wars take center stage. Nvidia remains at the center of it all due to the AI chip ban in China that challenged the stock’s prospects. However, the trading activity in NVDA has been intact and rock solid from both retail investors and institutional funds. This pushed the envelope forward as a higher buying activity kept the demand intact despite the ups and downs.

New Price Target For Nvidia Stock (NVDA)
Bernstein wrote in a note to clients projecting that Nvidia stock could reach a high of $272 next. The analysis follows Nvidia’s memo addressing several bearish viewpoints that have circulated recently in press reports. They addressed concerns about working capital, revenue circularity, accounts receivable, and depreciation lifetime that were raised by skeptics. Bernstein noted that the mentioned points are “broadly valid and useful,” and confirmed that it received “many requests from investor clients” on NDVA’s prospects.
The brokerage firm has given a ‘Strong Buy’ on Nvidia stock, making it the most-watched equity in the market. If the price prediction turns out to be accurate, NVDA would surge approximately 50% from its current price of $180. Therefore, an investment of $1,000 now could turn into $1,500 if the prediction turns out to be right. Apart from Bernstein, Phillip Securities, Bank of America, and Citigroup have given a ‘buy’ call for NVDA.
