$NVDA NVIDIA remains the leading player in AI accelerators, though the stock has traded in a narrow range over the past three months. Investors are partially shifting attention to memory and server infrastructure chips due to concerns about potential market share losses to Google specialized chips and AMD deeper AI entry. Recent industry news, including TSMC reporting record earnings and raising guidance, has been positive for the sector, but NVIDIA itself has shown limited movement.

NVDA Analysts see this consolidation as an opportunity. Demand continues to expand with the growth of large language models and new AI applications, even as some capital flows into complementary chips like high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for servers. Most analysts are not concerned about short-term funding pressures, noting that the four major cloud providers Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta are expected to maintain high capital expenditures in AI infrastructure over the next 12–18 months. Sustained investment by these companies could drive massive chip demand in the coming year.

$NVDA RBC Capital has initiated coverage on NVIDIA with an outperform rating and a price target of $240, representing roughly 27% upside from the current $188 level. The firm emphasizes that continued investments in cloud and AI infrastructure will support growth, and while market share may slightly decline from 80% to 70% by 2027, NVIDIA comprehensive system—hardware, software, developer tools, libraries, inter-server communication, and rack-level design—offers a competitive edge that competitors cannot easily replicate.

$NVDA The slight projected market share decline is driven by two main factors: customer diversification into internal or co-developed ASIC chips, like Google TPU units, and AMD introduction of next-generation AI accelerators offering competitive price and performance. Despite this, NVIDIA integrated approach and flexible roadmap, including options like Groq, make it difficult for customers to switch providers. New systems such as Rubin are already in production, enhancing performance and reinforcing the company’s advantage over competitors.

$NVDA Analysts conclude that the recent stagnation presents a buying opportunity. The company’s adaptability to different AI models, combined with its strong ecosystem and ongoing cloud infrastructure growth, suggests that positive momentum in the stock is likely to resume. Investors watching NVDA closely may find this period an ideal entry point before the next wave of AI-driven gains unfolds.
