D-Wave Quantum falls nearly 3% as earnings miss overshadows revenue beat
On Thursday, Wolfe Research reiterated its positive stance on NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares, maintaining an Outperform rating and a price target of $170.00. The firm’s analyst, Chris Caso, highlighted that NVIDIA, now a $3.46 trillion market cap company with a "GREAT" financial health score according to InvestingPro, had successfully addressed key investor concerns, including rack production, the impact of China’s market dynamics, and the diffusion of artificial intelligence technology.
The analyst noted the significant discussion around rack shipments, which now appear to be outpacing NVIDIA’s revenue run rate. This suggests that original design manufacturers (ODMs) may have built up inventory, which is currently selling through robustly. With impressive revenue growth of 114.2% and a perfect Piotroski Score of 9 as reported by InvestingPro, the company’s operational efficiency remains strong. However, Wolfe Research indicated that further details were still being reviewed for clarity.
The report also mentioned that while the consensus view favored owning NVIDIA stock for the second half of the year and into 2026, apprehensions ahead of the quarterly report had caused some investors to adopt a wait-and-see approach. With these concerns now addressed and the stock on the rise, coupled with a bullish outlook for the latter half of the year, the analyst believes that NVIDIA’s stock is poised for an upward trajectory.
NVIDIA has communicated that rack production is strong and that products are reaching customers effectively. The fact that rack shipments are ahead of the company’s revenue run rate suggests an eventual alignment between the two. While InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently trading above its Fair Value, analyst targets remain optimistic, ranging from $100 to $220, with a strong consensus recommendation of 1.45 (Buy). Wolfe Research plans to have a follow-up meeting with NVIDIA to further discuss these developments.
