Investing.com - Evercore ISI has raised its price target on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) to $225.00 from $214.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating, citing the company’s recent deal with OpenAI. This aligns with the broader Wall Street sentiment, as InvestingPro data shows 29 analysts have recently revised their earnings estimates upward, with the stock trading near its 52-week high of $184.55.

The increase follows a callback with Nvidia’s CFO regarding the OpenAI partnership, which involves at least 10GW of AI infrastructure. Historically, Nvidia’s total addressable market was $30 billion to $40 billion per gigawatt, though the firm notes this could be higher going forward. This expansion potential is reflected in Nvidia’s impressive 71.55% revenue growth over the last twelve months.

Evercore confirmed the deal will include GPUs, racks, networking, and software components, positioning Nvidia as OpenAI’s preferred supplier for its infrastructure buildout. The arrangement comes as OpenAI seeks to address underestimated demand for its solutions.

The research firm has increased its second-half 2026 revenue estimate for Nvidia by $5.5 billion, using Colossus, Prometheus, and Project Rainier as benchmarks for the projection. Evercore emphasized this OpenAI deal is additive to Nvidia’s previous expectations.

Evercore ISI has reiterated Nvidia as a top pick, expressing confidence that Nvidia "remains the AI ecosystem play of choice" and suggesting that current Street estimates for the company are too conservative.
