Nvidia stock jumped on Tuesday after Goldman Sachs added the chipmaker to its “Conviction Buy” list. Goldman analysts upgraded Nvidia stock to “Buy” from “Neutral” and raised their price target to $325 from $280.
In a note to investors, Goldman analysts said that Nvidia is well-positioned to benefit from the long-term secular trends of data center growth and artificial intelligence (AI) adoption.
Goldman analysts said the data center market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18% over the next five years, driven by the growing demand for AI and machine learning workloads.
