<p>This optimistic projection follows a comprehensive analysis by the investment bank, which anticipates robust growth in NVIDIA’s AI server business and a notable increase in its non-GAAP earnings. With the AI sector’s rapid expansion acting as a key growth driver, NVIDIA is poised to capitalize on the increasing investments from cloud service providers and the introduction of cutting-edge products like the H200 and B100 GPUs.</p>

In a recent research note, analysts increased their fiscal 2025 and 2026 earnings per share forecasts by 22%, excluding stock-based compensation. The investment bank expects NVIDIA’s Data Center revenue to keep growing into the first half of 2025, reversing an earlier prediction of a decline.

<p>The Wall Street firm maintains a “Buy” rating on NVIDIA shares while adding the stock to its Conviction List. With a 12-month price target of $800, Goldman sees a 21% upside potential from current levels, highlighting an attractive risk/reward profile for the chipmaker’s stock.
