Nvidia recently reached a new all-time high of $154.31 per share, overtaking Microsoft as the world’s most valuable publicly traded company. Nvidia’s market capitalization currently stands at approximately $3.77 trillion.
Analysts Raise Price Targets
A key driver of this stock surge came from Loop Capital. Analyst Ananda Baruah drastically raised Nvidia’s price target from $175 to $250—the highest price target on Wall Street currently. This valuation is based on the expectation that hyperscalers and AI providers will invest around $2 trillion in related technologies by 2028. Nvidia is credited with a nearly monopolistic position in the realm of “critical technologies” as well as strong pricing power.
Long-Term Outlook and Growth Forecasts
Baruah sees long-term potential for a market value of up to $6 trillion, which reflects significant growth potential and could theoretically secure Nvidia’s place at the top as the most valuable company permanently.
Other analysts are also optimistic: on average, they predict a share price increase of about +24% to around $170.76 per share by the end of 2025, with some optimists expecting prices above $220. However, there are also conservative voices with a more cautious assessment due to potential increased competition from companies like AMD or proprietary chip developments by major clients such as Google and Microsoft.
Conclusion
In summary, Nvidia has overtaken Microsoft as the most valuable publicly traded company with a market capitalization of about $3.77 trillion. Loop Capital sets the highest bar with a price target of $250 and sees long-term potential for a market value of up to six trillion dollars. Growth is primarily driven by a strong position in the AI market, along with expected investments of several trillion dollars in the coming years. Despite record figures, there are challenges from increasing competition and potential margin pressures.
These developments make Nvidia currently the hottest stock among tech shares with a very ambitious outlook for further value increases.
