Nvidia Stock Nears Six Trillion Dollar Valuation as Wall Street Upgrade Lifts Chip Sector and NVDA
Nvidia shares hit a record high above $243, nearing a $6 trillion valuation, driven by Wall Street upgrades and strong data-center demand. Morgan Stanley reiterated Nvidia as a top pick, while AMD also saw upgrades. However, financing data-center infrastructure poses risks. Amazon is exploring financing structures for $8 billion in Nvidia chips. Barclays estimates Nvidia could capture $30 billion in additional revenue by 2027, but growth depends on sustained cloud spending.
