Morgan Stanley reinstated Nvidia as its semiconductor sector top pick after meetings with CEO Jensen Huang and CFO Colette Kress. The firm highlighted Nvidia's broad AI customer base and its focus on extracting more revenue per gigawatt of power. It kept an Overweight rating and set a $300 price target. The note also referenced strategic capital inflows, including $10 billion each from SoftBank and Nvidia into OpenAI and a potential $8 billion Amazon deal for Nvidia chips.
Why it matters
Morgan Stanley’s endorsement and $300 target may support further buying pressure on Nvidia shares, which have already risen over 23% year‑to‑date. The reported capital commitments signal continued demand for Nvidia’s AI hardware, potentially boosting future revenue.
