GF Securities Lifts Nvidia Target to $345 as Cloud Orders Boost Vera Rubin Outlook

1 articles · Updated · Barchart · Aug 22

Summary

  • $345 is Jeff Pu’s new Nvidia price target, up from $308, with the analyst keeping a Buy rating ahead of the chipmaker’s Aug. 26 earnings report.
  • Rising orders from Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Oracle for Nvidia’s next-generation Vera Rubin platform drove the upgrade, reinforcing expectations for another AI growth cycle beyond Blackwell.
  • Pu’s call lands as investors question whether hyperscalers can earn enough on heavy AI spending, even after Nvidia shares rose about 15% this year and hit a record $236.54 in May.
  • Nvidia’s recent results set a high bar: fiscal Q1 revenue jumped 85% to $81.6 billion, Q2 guidance was about $91 billion, and Wall Street is looking for proof next-generation demand can sustain growth through 2027.
