NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) has transcended all forms of investing — growth, thematic, strategic, blue chip, and secular investors. It’s also the undisputed leader in the race for artificial intelligence. And now that the rough patch in the stock market has (hopefully) passed, analysts on Wall Street are making bolder and bolder predictions for NVIDIA shares looking out to 2026 and beyond.
Barclays just reiterated its Overweight rating and raised its price target on NVIDIA to $200 from an already-bullish $175.00, after having just raised its price target to $170 from $155 on May 29. The June 17 call from Barclays was versus a prior $144.69. As for the new price target hike, Barclays did supply chain and channel checks and it sees the next quarterly revenue report likely being $2 billion higher than consensus. And while the Blackwell reached 30,000 wafers per month (below the 40,000 prior Barclays estimate), utilizations are running strong and it sees positive trends for H2-2025.
