Gold prices edge higher on raised Fed rate cut hopes
On Monday, Bernstein analysts maintained their positive stance on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), reiterating an Outperform rating and a $185.00 price target. The firm addressed investor concerns regarding the impact of tariffs on NVIDIA’s AI datacenter products, clarifying that the company’s Mexico-sourced servers might be exempt. This stance aligns with NVIDIA’s strong fundamentals, including a perfect Piotroski Score of 9 according to InvestingPro data, indicating excellent financial strength.
According to the analysts, while semiconductors have largely been exempted from recent reciprocal tariffs, NVIDIA’s products, which are primarily hardware, would generally be subject to these tariffs. However, under the current US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), products from Mexico are exempt from new tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Some of NVIDIA’s AI datacenter products are manufactured in Mexico, which could mean they are not affected by these tariffs.
NVIDIA’s stock has experienced a significant decline, dropping 30% year-to-date, with half of the loss occurring since last Tuesday. The market downturn, referred to by the analysts as the "Trump Tariff Tsunami," has affected many companies, not just NVIDIA. Despite the current uncertainty in the market and the economic environment, NVIDIA’s stock is now trading at a P/E ratio of 31.88, which appears attractive given its impressive 114.2% revenue growth. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently trading below its Fair Value, with technical indicators showing oversold conditions.
The analysts acknowledge the current challenging environment but express confidence in the ongoing relevance of the AI narrative for NVIDIA. They suggest that once market conditions stabilize, NVIDIA’s stock could present an attractive opportunity for investors due to its current valuation. The firm’s Outperform rating indicates their belief in the stock’s potential to outperform the broader market or its sector in the future. This view is supported by NVIDIA’s robust financials, including an industry-leading 75% gross margin and strong financial health metrics.

A significant factor contributing to this downturn is the trade war initiated by President Donald Trump, which has led to increased tariffs and market volatility. Notably, Apple has seen a substantial decrease in its market value, losing over $300 billion due to its manufacturing ties with China. Amazon also faced a significant drop, with its market capitalization falling below $2 trillion.
In a separate development, Google is reportedly in advanced talks to lease Nvidia AI chips from CoreWeave, a move driven by the high demand for GPU resources in AI applications. This potential agreement underscores the challenges faced by companies like Google in securing adequate chip supplies. Meanwhile, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has commented on Apple’s rumored $1 billion purchase of Nvidia GPUs, suggesting that the scale of the deal is not substantial enough to significantly advance Apple’s AI initiatives in the near term.
Additionally, CoreWeave’s stock has experienced a recovery following initial challenges as a publicly-traded entity, with speculations surrounding Microsoft’s data center lease terminations contributing to this turnaround. These recent developments highlight the dynamic nature of the tech industry and the ongoing strategic maneuvers by major companies to adapt to market conditions and technological demands.
