Investing.com - UBS has reiterated its Buy rating and $235.00 price target on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) following the chipmaker’s latest financial guidance, which exceeded analyst expectations. With a current market capitalization of $4.7 trillion, Nvidia is trading at a P/E ratio of 53.13, which InvestingPro data shows is actually low relative to its near-term earnings growth potential.

UBS noted that Nvidia’s guidance was "very solid" and better than the firm’s projection of $63-64 billion, with demand commentary addressing market concerns about a potential bubble in AI spending. The firm projects Nvidia could achieve $350-400 billion in revenue and over $9 in earnings per share for calendar year 2026. This ambitious projection aligns with Nvidia’s impressive 71.55% revenue growth over the last twelve months, according to InvestingPro data.

The research firm highlighted that Nvidia’s "supply" grew by approximately $25 billion quarter-over-quarter to around $70 billion, while the company is guiding for fourth-quarter revenue of $65 billion. UBS interprets this as an indication Nvidia could achieve $75-80 billion in first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue, significantly ahead of current Street estimates. This optimistic outlook is supported by InvestingPro data showing 16 analysts have recently revised their earnings upward for upcoming periods.

UBS has increased its earnings estimates for Nvidia to approximately $8.70 for calendar year 2026 and $11 for 2027, compared to Street consensus of about $8.50 for 2027. The firm maintains that these projections support its $235 price target, even assuming the stock will trade at "a low 20x multiple." Notably, Nvidia’s PEG ratio of 0.81 suggests the stock may be undervalued relative to its growth rate, despite its seemingly high P/E ratio.

The firm concluded that Nvidia appears to be "tightening its grip on broadly enabling AI across modalities and industries" as the AI infrastructure market continues its rapid expansion. Nvidia’s analyst consensus recommendation stands at 1.33 (Strong Buy), with price targets ranging from $140 to $350, reflecting strong confidence in the company’s dominant position in the semiconductor industry.
