A Bullish Call on Nvidia
TD Cowen raised its price target on Nvidia to $275, up from $235, while keeping a Buy rating. The upgrade comes as the firm highlights strong AI demand and increased spending by hyperscale cloud providers, which continue to invest heavily in AI infrastructure.
“Nvidia remains a cornerstone of the AI ecosystem,” the analyst wrote, noting that the company’s Blackwell and Rubin platform pipelines could support upside to earnings estimates. The new target implies roughly 20% upside from current levels.
Pipeline Momentum Builds
Nvidia's Blackwell architecture, expected to ramp in the second half of the year, and the next-generation Rubin platform are seen as major growth drivers. According to TD Cowen, these products reinforce Nvidia’s competitive moat and could extend its leadership through successive AI cycles.
“The pipeline visibility is strong, with hyperscalers signaling sustained capex,” the note said. The firm also pointed to recent commentary from cloud providers as a positive signal for Nvidia's near-term revenue.
Implications for Investors
With this upgrade, TD Cowen joins a growing list of analysts raising targets on Nvidia ahead of its quarterly results. The company’s earnings, due later this month, will be closely watched for updates on Blackwell shipments and demand trends.
“We remain constructive heading into the print,” the analyst added. However, they cautioned that supply constraints could pose near-term headwinds, though demand remains robust.
